19th Jul 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
2m3f/2m5f winner last summer on good ground; he was in lead when he ran out before second-last at Wincanton (3m, good) but followed that a very underwhelming effort; some reservations for now but the ability is there to get involved. |
7/2 |

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. |

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. |

10st 13lb |
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. |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-11 under rules but made an encouraging start over fences when beaten a short-head here (2m1f, good to firm) in May; fourth of five finishers at Worcester (2m, good) last month but may be worth another chance back here. |
9/2 |

4th 1 |
17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-9 in points and 0-9 over hurdles but returned from 314-day break with very close second to progressive subsequent winner on last month's chasing debut at Stratford (2m1f, good to firm); obvious contender if in similar form here. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
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. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Pulled up in his final run during winter but that was in the mud and he won by 7l over this trip at Exeter (good to soft) in December; looks interesting on that form and he needs a close look back from five months off. |
13/2 |

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 |
10st 2lb |
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. |

11st 12lb |
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. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Won three times under Sean Bowen (once over C&D) in 2025; well below best on all four appearances this year but has slipped to a good mark and the champion jockey evidently still has faith in him; revival possible. |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won three times (2m2f-3m) in June-September last year, off today's mark over C&D on last occasion; out of form on last four outings, however, and a major revival is needed on this second start after wind surgery; tongue-tie (last used in 2024) returns. |
20/1 |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

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. |

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. |
