15th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice over hurdles for Anthony Honeyball in the spring of last year but lost his way and didn't show much on his return to the Flat on stable debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago; related to AW winners but probably best watched for now. |
20/1 |

9th 5 (8) |
1st Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Showed promise on the Flat in France in October 2024 and he won two novice hurdles for Anthony Honeyball in spring 2025; however, he struggled to get competitive in handicap hurdles subsequently and may be best watched back on the Flat on his stable debut; remains in same ownership. |

5th 3 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won good-ground maiden and novice hurdles last spring but he hasn't fired in handicaps, including in a tongue-tie on his last two starts and with added cheekpieces (now swapped for a visor) at Plumpton a fortnight ago; handicapper is trying to help but others look safer. |

8th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Encouraging start over fences in 2026 when in the frame over C&D and at Worcester (2m7f) but not so good under more patient tactics when a well-held second of five at Stratford (2m3f) in July; freshened up since though and no surprise to see him bounce back in a change of headgear. |

2nd 1 |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Won over hurdles last season and made pretty good start to chasing career when third of seven at Bangor (2m4f, good; wore cheekpieces) in April; weakened out of contention on run-in at Worcester (2m7f, good; first-time visor) this month but drops back in trip here and remains of interest. |

4th 1 |
1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Successful handicap hurdle debut at Wetherby (about 2m5f, good) last October; no match at all for the winner on chase debut at Bangor (about 2m4f, good) in April but the return to this longer trip can help; first-time visor replaces cheekpieces; yard runs two. |

13th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Well treated on peak form but has struggled since returning from wind surgery and finished a well-beaten last of three over 3m2f here in May when he may not have stayed; this much shorter trip and first-time blinkers may help but he arrives with plenty to prove. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
27th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
On dangerous mark but he's 1-11 over hurdles and hasn't really fired since returning after wind surgery this spring; has a bit to prove and he's untried beyond 2m5f. |
16/1 |

6th 1 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Now 5lb lower than winning winning at Hereford (2m, good) in March 2025 but, following a break, could not justify favouritism when midfield at Stratford (2m2f; good; first run after wind op) last month; sports refitted cheekpieces and tries a new trip here; needs that recent run to have done him good. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Low-mileage 7yo who made the frame on all four starts for current trainer, most recently when third in Bangor handicap (2m, good) this month; eased in grade here and Sean Bowen takes the ride; likely contender. |

3rd 3 |
4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Made the frame on last three of his four hurdling starts, most recently when a respectable fourth of seven on handicap debut at Worcester (2m, good) last month; 2lb lower here; probably won't be far away. |

18th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Placed in C&D maiden (good) last month and also ran well when fourth at Stratford (2m2f, good) eight days later; almost certainly needs to improve to overcome top weight on this handicap debut, though. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-13 over hurdles and has struggled a little with consistency in the past, with his better efforts coming over further; however, he went close off a similar mark at Hereford (2m3f, good) in November and, despite the drop back in trip and returning from a break, he still warrants respect. |

10th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |

0-11 over hurdles; runner-up on consecutive 2m4f starts this summer but was pulled up (albeit in a competitive series final) last time and is not the most obvious answer to this competitive race. |
