2nd Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Generally disappointing in handicaps since winning 2m maiden a year ago and steps up in trip off a career-low mark; worth a look in the betting. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Beaten about 35l when third in 2m maiden here in June and struggled in Stratford novice last month but moves up in trip for today's handicap debut and remains very unexposed; worth a glance in the betting. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |

Last in a point-to-point bumper in April last year; only modest form over hurdles and looks more one for handcaps. |

25th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Displayed minor promise before coming to grief just after penultimate flight over C&D (good) last month, his second hurdling start, but is probably one for a bit further down the line. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Modest 7f/1m handicapper on the Flat; pulled hard when tailed off on only previous run over hurdles in November 2023 (2m, good to soft); best watched for now. |

7f and 1m course winner, the latter coming when 4lb lower in March; has been competitive from this mark in two of his three subsequent starts; each-way player. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
No match for Filibustering when second at Cartmel (2m1f, good) on stable debut in June and has since been well beaten on the Flat but is well handicapped on some of his form for Alan King and will be suited by today's trip/ground; could have a say. |

5th 2 (1) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Minor honours over 1m3f/1m4f in his two Flat handicaps this term (his last runs for Alan King) prior to his creditable second 19 days ago for new yard over hurdles; should be a serious player. |
3/1 |

Formerly with Alan King; creditable second at Warwick on latest hurdles start (2m, good) and has since finished third in a 1m4f handicap at Salisbury; stable debut; each-way chance. |

10st 6lb |
Dual hurdle winner (2m4f/3m) who was well beaten on last month's chase debut at Market Rasen (3m, good); improvement needed. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Won over hurdles at Hexham (2m4f, good) and Musselburgh (3m, soft) last season; only 1lb higher than for his last success but he's struggled in his last three runs and has something to prove on chase debut. |
12/1 |

12th 8 |
5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Completed a turf hat-trick (11.5f-2m) last month and gained the last two wins by very wide margins, latest in a match race; respected in current form, assuming she's as effective back on AW. |

18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Refused to race on last visit here when due to contest a handicap hurdle in October; won over an extended 1m3f and 2m back on the Flat this month, scoring by 19l last week at Nottingham when 2lb well in under a penalty; that was an apprentice race so has no penalty. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Reluctant at the start on a few occasions over hurdles in recent times, refusing to jump away on one occasion; has been fine at the stalls in two runs back on the Flat, though, and like Free World is well treated under a penalty following an easy win last Tuesday. |

Dual 1m6f AW Flat winner for Joseph Parr; didn't jump that well when pulled up on hurdles debut; should improve. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |

Won two low-grade 1m6f AW handicaps for Joseph Parr when fitted with cheekpieces in February; changed hands for 8,500gns in May; goes without headgear on stable/hurdle debut but will be fine stamina-wise; market may guide. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Won small-field Ludlow novice (2m5f, good) in the autumn and returned from layoff with two pretty good handicap runs this summer; only faded out of contention on run-in when fourth of 13 at Worcester (2m4f, good) 12 days ago and can go well again; raced mainly on good ground. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

2m5f novice winner in October; made handicap debut at Stratford last month (2m2f, good to firm) and ran as though that race was needed after a break of 252 days; better expected. |
16/1 |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |

Showed improvement in the autumn when last seen, winning at Luldlow (2m5f) then running well under a penalty at Huntingdon (2m3f), both times under James Bowen; may do better still; interesting handicap debutante. |
13/2 |
