11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Easily resumed winning ways at Newton Abbot (2m1f) in May and not discredited off a 7lb higher mark when sixth of ten in 2m1f handicap at Cartmel 19 days ago; not out of things back up in trip. |
100/30 |
|
6th 5 |
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. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Fair bumper winner; yet to add to that over hurdles but she has made the frame on all her six runs, a non-staying fourth in 2m4f Fakenham novice in May on latest; needs considering back in trip for her chasing debut. |
10/1 |
|
4th 6 |
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. |

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. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Came from off the pace to win C&D (good) selling handicap for George Bewley in May, her tenth hurdling start, and also ran well when third here (2m6f, good) on last month's stable debut; this drop back in trip is probably the right move; ought to make her presence felt. |

3rd 9 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Having her 32nd career start when finally off the mark in a selling handicap over 2m1f here recently (good); only 4lb higher and new trainer James Moffatt has booked Brian Hughes; has to be of interest despite blatant stamina reservations. |

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 |

Well beaten on last summer's Flat debut and showed nothing more than minor promise in two maiden hurdles (both 2m, good) for new stable this spring. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 90y |

Runner-up in a bumper and maiden hurdle in UK; beaten a long way at Wexford on stable debut/return and has to improve hugely on that. |

|
12th 14 |
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 |

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. |

15th Jul 2026 Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Unplaced in seven Flat starts (last ran in this sphere in 2024); triple good-ground hurdle winner at up to 2m1f last summer; reluctant to race when well beaten over hurdles latest; others make more appeal. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Comes with some risk, having refused to race on one occasion and lost many lengths by whipping around at the start last time (ran well in the circumstances); otherwise capable of playing a big role. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 3 |
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. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Just a respectable fourth of six over C&D (good) last month, her second run after a break, and now 0-9 over hurdles but has dropped another 2lb since and enters each-way calculations. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

0-17 under rules and was brought down early on at Taunton (2m, good) last month; has been placed a couple of times but is hard to fancy. |

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. |

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. |
