27th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Two hurdle wins last June and latest was over C&D (good); no joy in just three runs since but he was in lead when he ran out and crashed through the rails before the second-last at Wincanton (3m, good) last month; has possibilities if he can maintain his focus this time and he's well handicapped on his best form. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
All three wins on good ground; won a 2m3f handicap at Warwick pretty easily and followed up back in novice company; well held since but he was returning from a lengthy break when pulling way too hard to Ludlow last month (2m5f); will need to settle if he's to stay this far but Harry Cobden takes over. |
6/4 |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Came good with comfortable handicap win at Warwick (2m3f) in June and easily followed up in modest novice event at Newton Abbot (2m5f) three weeks later; didn't shape too badly when fourth at Ascot (about 2m3f, also good) on his November comeback but absent since; can race freely but this drying ground should suit and he's respected. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Irish bumper winner; made underwhelming start to hurdling career last season but kept on strongly to win Stratford handicap (2m2f, good to firm; second run after wind op) this month; upped in grade here but could still have more to offer. |
5/1 |
|
1st 2 |
1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Irish bumper winner who had yet to reproduce that ability over hurdles until runner-up to a subsequent winner, when upped to around this trip at Warwick last month (back from a break following wind surgery); remains with handicap potential and one to consider. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
4th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Irish bumper winner, unable to reproduce that promise over hurdles and soundly beaten on handicap debut at Fakenham in January, but he returns from a break having had wind surgery and with his trainer in fine form; no surprise to see a bigger performance today. |

Came good over hurdles at seventh attempt, gamely making all at Worcester (2m7f, good) this month; still unexposed over this sort of trip; further progress is possible. |
9/2 |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Remains a maiden under rules, latest when given an attacking ride in first-time cheekpieces (retained) but ending up a well-beaten third of seven finishers at Warwick (2m3f, good) four weeks ago; steps up in trip but stamina may be an issue. |
10/1 |

3rd 5 |
4th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Her dam is Snow Leopardess, who won the Becher Chase for these connections; this mare has been a long way from hitting those heights but ran well for a fair way at Fakenham (2m4f, good) four weeks ago when back from a break, and she could build on that effort; first-time cheekpieces replace a hood. |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
0-9 in points (completed only three times) and has same strike-rate over hurdles; gave a fairly good account when fifth of 15 at Worcester (2m, good) last July but this chasing debut comes after a 314-day absence. |
14/1 |
|
5th 1 |
7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
No win in nine points and 0-8 over hurdles but has form figures of 34232F24 in this sphere; chased home a handicap blot at Warwick (2m3f, soft) in final start last year and she shaped as though she needed the run there on her return last month; has form over C&D and she could be dangerous back in trip. |

Maiden who is returning from a five-month break but this former pointer ran some good races when switched to rules in the second half of last year and could be thereabouts if at the top of her game. |

11th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Back in better form for new yard, notably an account-opening win over hurdles at Exeter and second-place finish at Huntingdon (2m7f, soft) returned to fences; hurdles mark is 7lb higher; fighting chance. |
9/4 |

2nd 8 |
22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |

Exeter hurdles winner (2m7f) on stable debut in November, before finding the follow-up bid coming too soon; still at the right end of the weights to improve on a chasing record of 649FP67, all for other yards. |

14-race maiden who was well-held when sixth of seven finishers at Warwick (2m3f, good) in June on stable debut; down 2lb and needs to find improvement. |

4th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |

13-race maiden who was well beaten in December on his final run for Ben Pauling; sold for £9,500 in February; however, he was a good second at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in November and is worth a second look on stable debut. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Versatile sort who won three times (2m2f-3m) in June-September last year; only 1lb higher than for his last success but he's been well held in his last three runs and needs a major revival after wind surgery. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Did well for new stable in early part of season, winning three times under Sean Bowen (2m2f-3m, good/good to soft); returned from break with low-key run last month but has the champion jockey back on board today. |

4th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Yet to threaten under rules but he finished second in a point-to-point bumper and goes handicapping off a lowly mark; this half-brother to a 2m4f hurdle winner could be suited by the step up in trip and is an interesting candidate, especially if attracting market support. |

Has got better with each of his four runs, finishing a 22l fifth in a Newton Abbot novice (2m1f, good) four weeks ago, and this handicap debut provides a first realistic opportunity; however, improvement is still needed. |
