27th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
In a consistent run of form when last seen in November, mostly hooded but also in just a tongue-tie last time; this mark is very manageable but he does lack a recent run. |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Has been in fine fettle since joining current yard in the summer with four wins in handicaps; incurs 12lb penalty here partially offset by Luke Scott's 3lb claim; should be hard to beat at this level. |

Not beaten all that far in 2m6f/3m1f handicaps on last two starts but he was a weakener late on; others appeal more. |

After a break he's been tailed off behind Wee Alki and here on Monday faded into sixth over 2m6f; others preferred. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
0-8 over hurdles and not yet proven on ground slower than good but posted a sound effort when placed at Perth (3m) three weeks ago and is evidently in good nick. |

8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

Irish mare who has weak claims on form; would be interesting only if the market suggests improvement is on the cards. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Stopped too quickly at Cartmel latest (2m6f, good to soft) for either the 4lb rise for her previous Newton Abbot success (3m2f, good) or the quirky course to seem the issue; step back up in trip is a plus, but questions to answer again; cheekpieces discarded. |
8/1 |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Kept on well for narrow success at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) this month, opening her hurdling account at the eighth attempt; will be fine on the forecast slower ground and further progress is possible if combination of drop back in trip and first-time cheekpieces has positive effect. |
5/2 |

4th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Third in a mares' bumper here (good) on debut last year; unable to improve on that level of form but was third over hurdles at Chepstow (2m3f, heavy) in January; below that level twice since; half-sister to a 3m winner, so this longer trip might see her find some improvement. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Four-time chase winner but his last success was in December 2022 and he has form figures of PPP8 for current yard; continues to tumble down the weights but he has a lot to prove and can only be watched. |
33/1 |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Still going okay until a bad error at Worcester latest, but hard to be confident on the preceding chase and point efforts this year that he'd have gone very close; 0-14 going left-handed versus 4-11 clockwise. |
66/1 |

24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Very well handicapped on old form but did not show a great deal in three small-field points for new stable this spring and was pulled up on both rules starts at Cartmel last month (chase/hurdle); headgear swapped here. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
1-39 over hurdles, the win gained here (2m, good) last May; inconsistent and although he stays 2m4f and latest start was one of his better days, today's position 7lb out of the handicap makes things tough. |
25/1 |

4th 10 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
1-38 over hurdles, the win gained at Hexham (2m, good) last May; his good days have become infrequent, though, and he's 3lb out of the weights today; not the percentage call. |
25/1 |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Runner-up at Sedgefield in November and not disgraced on penultimate start, but those are the only bright spots in his last nine races; reverts from chasing (last five starts); overall he's won just one (a hurdle race last May) of 47 and today he is 3lb out of the handicap. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Bagged a fourth success of the season at Chepstow (2m3f) in February; seemed unsuited by dropping back to 2m when a solid fourth of ten at Hereford 13 days ago and not out of things over this more suitable distance. |
12/1 |

4th 5 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Won three in a row in November/December (2m3f-2m4f) and scored at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) in February; well-held fourth eight days later at Ffos Las, possibly finding the quick turnaround too much; may resume progress, though the drop in trip is a slight concern. |

1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won three in a row in November/December (2m3f-2m4f) and took his form to another new level when battling on well to score at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) eight days ago; latest 4lb rise does not look excessive and further progress is not out of the question. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Twice placed at Cartmel (2m6f) last summer; this year's form figures PF aren't overly inspiring though, so it's difficult to argue a reasoned case, unless the newly applied cheekpieces have a majorly uplifting impact. |
14/1 |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Pulled up at Perth this month, after a layoff, but was placed twice on the tight left-handed track at Cartmel (2m6f) last summer, so there's a good chance Fakenham will also suit him; big player if back on song. |
4/1 |
|

13th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Placed on a couple of occasions at Cartmel (2m6f) last year and was a staying-on fifth over C&D (in a first-time tongue-tie) last September; is likely to draw benefit from this comeback run; monitor only for time being. |
