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 |

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. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Far too inconsistent to rely upon heavily but lost out only narrowly to Buck Barrow when clear second in C&D classified (good to soft) in June and is 1lb better off with that rival today. |

A regressive 9yo who last won in 2021, a 1m4f Group 3 in Germany; well beaten after a break and probably wants 2m ideally. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran who won over hurdles in June and ought to have finished second here (2m, good; rider dropped hands in closing stages) when back on the Flat later that month; may need further than 1m4f nowadays, though, and younger rivals appeal more. |
10/1 |

3rd 7 (11) |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Veteran who's done a lot of his winning in the summer and always liked it round here; back in form over hurdles last time and is 2lb lower than when going in here last July, so he needs a second look. |

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. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
2m AW handicap winner for Dominic Ffrench Davis last June; still early days with current yard and he has run well in a visor in last two races, at 2m and 1m6f; thereabouts. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Sole win came in a 2m AW handicap for Dominic Ffrench Davis last June but he went very close to a second on just his second outing for Michael Wigham when short-headed at Lingfield (extended 2m, good to firm) under Alexandra Egan 17 days ago; the first-time visor he wore at Lingfield is retained. |
5/1 |

2nd 2 (7) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Sole win came in a 2m AW handicap for Dominic Ffrench Davis last June; also acts on turf but he was beaten a long way in a basement event at Epsom (1m4f, good) on his stable debut three weeks ago; goes back up in trip in an added visor. |

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. |
12/1 |

2nd 1 |
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 |

30th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
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. |

Modest form in two minor handicap hurdles this year; not easily recommended back on the Flat. |

It's now 12 starts since his last success (2022) and he came in a below-par fifth of seven in 2m4f handicap at Leicester in November; others are preferred. |

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. |
