16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Stayed on gamely to score at Leicester (2m4f, heavy) in January, her third hurdle win, and probably bettered that performance when close/clear second at Southwell (3m, soft) last month; competes off career-high mark here but still respected in current form. |

2nd 5 |
18th Feb 2026 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Got on a roll last spring having joined this yard, winning at Ffos Las and Wetherby (2m4f/3m, good; cheekpieces) before clinching a Flat-race hat-trick at staying trips; brought her stable record to 6-11 when scoring at Leicester (about 2m4f, heavy) one month ago and holds leading claims once again. |

20th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Won two good-ground hurdles (2m4f/3m) and three consecutive Flat races during highly productive spell last spring/summer and bettered low-key reappearance run when respectable third at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) last month; may yet have a bigger performance in her. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A regressive 9yo who last won in 2021, a 1m4f Group 3 in Germany; well beaten after a break and probably wants 2m ideally. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |

Returns from break on career-low mark but this regressive 9yo is yet to add to his German Group 3 success in 2021 and is difficult to enthuse over. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Not the easiest to predict and well held on both starts on the AW since finishing a good second over hurdles at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) in March, ridden by Harry Atkins who can claim his 5lb allowance here; will not mind any rain and not out of this if in the mood, with one of his two hurdling wins coming over C&D. |
7/1 |

5th 2 (12) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Hard to predict and was out the back at Wolverhampton (1m4f) three weeks ago but he finished runner-up over hurdles at Chepstow (2m) last month and his last Flat win was off this mark (1m6f, good) last summer; comes with risks attached but he's not ruled out back up in trip; change of headgear. |
20/1 |

9th 1 (5) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a weak four-runner handicap at Ffos Las (1m6f, good) under David Probert in July but mostly poor form under both codes since; appeared to take a step back in the right direction when second over hurdles last time and Probert is back in the saddle for the first time since that win. |

22nd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y |

Bits and pieces of form, notably Sligo third over this trip in August (good-to-yielding); didn't count back hurdling later in month and has had a break since; ground could now suit and jockey booking encouraging. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Campaigned over further for the past year or so and gained sole win at 2m (AW); not crying out for this marked drop back in distance. |

7th 4 (5) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Overall record of 1-19 but his win was off 2lb lower at Kempton (2m, AW) in June and he's posted some creditable efforts since; finished a remote second on turf here (1m5f, good) last time but that was behind a major improver and he's respected back up in trip; cheekpieces added. |
5/1 |

2nd 3 (5) |
9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Sole success in 18 starts under rules came at Kempton (2m, AW) last month, but he does act on turf and the form of his latest fifth of eight at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft) is working out quite well; best form would give him a chance. |

27th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Triple hurdle winner at around 2m but last success was 17 months ago and he was a remote second on chase debut at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good; 25-1) last month; looks worth another try at this trip but he needs to leave that latest form behind. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Not disgraced in 2m hurdle on stable debut in June but two underwhelming Flat runs have followed and he looks risky over this new trip on his chasing debut. |
20/1 |

6th 5 (6) |
30th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Didn't run badly over hurdles here on this month's stable debut but was well beaten on the Flat here (1m6f, good to soft) eight days ago and is difficult to enthuse over after that performance. |

28th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
He's just 1lb higher than when winning over C&D last December but he returned from a break with a heavy defeat over C&D in May and was again well beaten at Ffos Las last month; a major turnaround is required. |
12/1 |
|
8th 3 (3) |
30th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Scored on Tapeta during the winter (1m6f) but returned from break with very disappointing run on that surface last month and switches back to turf with a point to prove; usual hood removed from headgear ensemble. |
