23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Back on the up (in first-time cheekpieces) when easily landing a gamble in 2m1f handicap at Newton Abbot 17 days ago; up 7lb but runner-up has gone in since so this C&D winner merits serious consideration in retained headgear. |
11/4 |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won two novice hurdles on good ground last May (2m/2m1f); no impact at 12-1 or bigger in five handicaps but she rallied to finish a respectable sixth of 15 at Kelso (2m, good to soft) in March; continues to drop down the weights and could be dangerous if first-time cheekpieces work. |

6th 11 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Won two novice hurdles last May (2m/2m1f) and she could benefit from this drop back in trip; however, she hasn't shone in handicaps this winter and others are more compelling, including stablemate First Candidate. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Good-ground bumper winner who has made the frame on all five hurdling starts, most recently when third of 13 (just behind Lady Kara) in Stratford maiden (2m, good) a fortnight ago; her tendency to race too freely remains a nagging concern but she's a contender if her stamina holds out over this new trip. |
8/1 |

3rd 7 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Good-ground bumper winner who has made the frame on all four hurdling starts; managed only fourth of six on handicap debut at Fakenham (2m, soft) in December but the forecast faster ground here ought to suit better; shortlisted. |
9/2 |

22nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Struggled in bumpers after her successful debut but got back on track when second to an improving Skelton horse on hurdling debut at Warwick (2m, good); probably has more on her plate here. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Untested beyond 2m1f and her form dipped at Market Rasen last time but she was progressive previously, winning on handicap debut at Bangor (2m, good) two starts ago; retains potential and no surprise if she bounces back. |
8/1 |

19th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Novice winner who didn't have too much trouble in defying a 5lb lower mark at Bangor (2m, good); whether she'd want soft ground is questionable but good to soft would be okay. |
5/1 |
|
1st 1 |
4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Just did enough to justify short odds at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) in May but found a 40-1 outsider too strong when warm favourite to follow up in modest race at Hexham (2m, good to soft) last month; may still have potential but will need to up her game to overcome top weight on handicap debut. |

Longstanding maiden and no recent evidence to suggest she's about to put that right. |

7th 9 |
9th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
30-race maiden Flat and jumps; bought for 3,400gns in February; well beaten on stable debut at Kelso last month (2m2f, good); should improve for that run; on a good mark at present. |
12/1 |

6th 9 |
20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
0-22 on the Flat and 0-7 over hurdles; sold out of Matt Crawley's stable for 3,400gns after well-held fourth at Fakenham (2m, soft) in February but ought to be better suited by the forecast faster ground here, and could plausibly have been perked up by her new regime. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Has shown little in four hurdle starts, including on handicap debut when pulled up at Warwick (2m5f, good) 26 days ago; sports first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces, and they need to have an impact. |
25/1 |
|

4th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 5 |

Has shown no notable form in three runs over hurdles and on sole start on the Flat; hopes pinned on the longer trip now switched to handicaps. |

20th May 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
10st 9lb |
Best hurdle run for Nick Littmoden came in a maiden contest at Market Rasen when a clear second of eight (2m5f, good); took a heavy defeat on handicap debut at Worcester (2m4f, good); more needed on stable debut. |

7th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Suffered heavy defeat on handicap debut in August and needs to bounce back from that but has each-way claims at least if judged on her clear second at Market Rasen (2m4f good) two starts ago. |
6/1 |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Second in her only bumper and same again when blundering at the final flight in an eight-runner maiden at Market Rasen (extended 2m5f, good) on her latest start over hurdles; a hood went on that day and is retained; in serious calculations in this weak race for handicap debut. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Won three in her first season over hurdles last term and may not have got home when third of five at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) on her return to action 23 days ago; should be sharper for the run and holds claims. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
7th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Progressive over hurdles in early part of last season, winning three times on good ground (2m-2m1f); absent since blotting copybook in the autumn (whipped round at start and refused to race) and not bred to benefit from this step up in trip. |
3/1 |

11th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Progressive over hurdles for new stable this season, winning three times; posted sound effort when second of five off today's mark at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to soft) last month but this race is stronger. |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |

Still a maiden and she went in snatches when a fair sixth of 14 in 2m Worcester handicap in October; returns from a break in a refitted hood. |

22nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Beat only one home at Ludlow and none at Market Rasen, so brings no form claims from her two bumpers; same stable as Hard Dealt. |
