14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Useful hurdler, recording an RPR of 130 when second in a handicap hurdle (2m, good) at Kempton's Christmas fixture; no easy task on Flat debut but he is bred for this job. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Low-mileage 5yo who has form figures of 11112, all at about 2m, since racing on good ground; ran well in a Kempton handicap at Christmas when last seen; improving but goes into unknown territory trip-wise and his chance also perhaps partly depends on the weather. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Down the field in the Swinton Hurdle at Haydock (1m7f, good) in May when last seen and he needs to prove he stays this far; however, this 5yo is on a handy mark on last season's best form and he won last autumn following a break; effective on good/soft; could go well back down in grade. |
13/2 |

12th 16 |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
10st 3lb |
Has proved a model of consistency in the last 12 months and he rallied for fourth behind Dance And Glance over C&D last time; however, that run underlined that the handicapper appears to have his measure for now; needs to be boosted by the fitting of cheekpieces. |
20/1 |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 144y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
He needs to find something extra on his last three performances but this novice hurdle winner (good to soft) is now 2lb lower than when third of 15 on handicap debut at Cheltenham (2m, soft) in November, and perhaps he'll be aided by the first-time tongue-tie. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Nine-race maiden who has been inconsistent over hurdles but he was a close second in a Huntingdon handicap (2m, good; tongue-tie added) on his penultimate run; on same mark here and has possibilities if he can recapture that form on this switch to fences. |
3/1 |

7th 2 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Initially failed to show any immediate benefit from wind surgery in three subsequent runs (2m to extended 2m4f) but latest effort, fitted with a tongue-tie and going close at Huntingdon (2m, good) last month, was a marked step forward; it will be interesting to see if he can build on that and 3lb claimer is booked. |
9/2 |

2nd 1 |
11th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Expensive to follow in maiden company, including twice at short prices over C&D last year; poor in two starts over further since undergoing wind surgery (reported to have stopped quickly last time) and the first-time tongue-tie will need to help. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Has a tendency to race too freely and is usually held up at the back; struggled to get competitive at Chepstow in February and now 0-6 over hurdles but interesting if judged on some of his form towards the end of last year; not out of this if first-time cheekpieces have positive effect. |
14/1 |

8th 9 |
21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
10st 3lb |
0-5 over hurdles and his tendency to race too freely remains a nagging concern but his fourth of 15 on handicap debut at Cheltenham (2m, soft) in November was a good effort, and he caught the eye making a big forward move from the rear before his effort petered out at Doncaster (2m, good) in December; hood removed; tongue-tie added; shortlisted. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 33y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
First-flight unseat on hurdle debut but showed ability in bumpers and did likewise when fourth of nine at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in May on his second hurdle start; probably needs a bigger run today but not ruled out. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Ended last season in good form, opening rules account in a 2m handicap chase at Newcastle (good to soft); after a break she was running well when falling at Cartmel but then unconvincing at Worcester; that leaves her with a bit to prove. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Ended last season in good form, most notably when opening rules account at Newcastle (2m, good to soft), and was seemingly in process of running well before falling at Cartmel last month, after a break; no surprise if he features. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Came good over fences at Newcastle (2m, good to soft) in March, her sixth attempt, and made brave bid from the front before fading into fourth at Warwick (2m, good) in April; big player if in same form after break. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Comfortable winner of a Kelso hunter chase (2m7f, good) last month but was beaten fair and square by about 10l in a 3m handicap at Perth since and has only dropped 1lb. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |

Looked in very good nick when readily winning Kelso hunter chase (2m7f, good) for his owner-trainer last month but faces quite daunting assignment off career-high mark on this return to a handicap; now in the care of Tristan Davidson. |

Hurdle winner for Dan Skelton; placed on his last two runs in hunter chases, last time finishing third at Hexham (3m, good) where Whatdeawant was 18l in front of her in second; each-way chance. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Left Henry Daly for £12,500 after winning over 3m1f at Huntingdon in March (good to soft; second run in a visor); fairly quiet on yard debut at Hexham (2m4f, good) but returns to further with new headgear tried; could run better. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Ridden out to score at Huntingdon (3m1f, novices' handicap; good to soft; from 6lb lower) in March; has since left Henry Daly for £12,500; headgear removed, and interesting to see what the market makes of his chance off a three-month break; merits respect. |

1st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |

Has run in two bumpers and six hurdle races, easily his closest finishes coming in handicaps on last two occasions when fourth of 11 at this track (2m3f, soft) and second of nine at Wetherby (3m1f, soft; visored); stuck to his task very well last time and looks a leading player. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 154y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Has had a good season with cheekpieces, with wins at Worcester (2m4f, good) and Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) and a creditable second at Plumpton (2m4f, good); has gone up 23lb; may find others better treated. |

20th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |
12st 3lb |
Bounced back to form at Worcester (2m4f, good) ten days ago, winning comfortably, and overcame a penalty when dropped back to 2m1f at Newton Abbot (good) on Friday; will effectively be another 11lb higher if he makes a quick reappearance here but is evidently in excellent nick. |
7/4 |

1st 9 |
18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Attracted market support before suddenly bursting back into form at Worcester (2m4f, good) last week, when he came from off the pace to win comfortably; this drop back in trip might not be ideal but he's 4lb well in under his 7lb penalty. |
