10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
2m bumper and maiden hurdle wins (good) among his course record of 121P; exited too far out on this month's Cartmel chase debut (2m5f) to know how close he'd have run the prolific Passengerontheship, but he was traveling easily at the time; remains of interest. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Three bumper wins included Listed honours and he won a maiden hurdle last summer; goes chasing on the back of a close fourth at Ffos Las (2m4f, good to soft; perhaps better on good ground) and should have a role to play if finding some fluency. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
0-4 over fences for new stable this year but ran well over 2m1f here on last two appearances, losing out only by half a length on latter occasion; should be fine over this longer trip; good chance. |

2nd 5 |
16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
0-3 over fences but ran well when clear third over C&D (good to firm) last month, despite making two significant jumping errors in the closing stages; competes off same mark today; one to consider. |

Remote when second of three on stable/chase debut but ran well for a long way before weakening into third at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) last month and could be better suited by the forecast dryer ground here. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Improving with experience over hurdles and won 2m maiden here (good) last month, his third attempt; the bare form isn't anything to go wild about but there's a good chance today's longer trip will enable further progress. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

All of his starts have been on good ground; this point runner-up has improved with each of his four runs under rules, finishing third over C&D last time; he's high on the list this afternoon. |

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

Second in a point; trailed the smart winner by 17l when third in a 2m maiden at Market Rasen (good) but that was a forward step; won't need much more (if anything) to be bang there. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Showed significant improvement when fourth in Worcester maiden (2m, good) last summer but safely held in all four subsequent handicaps, the latest here (2m6f) last month; needs to turn a corner. |
33/1 |

8th 3 |
28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Fourth in a maiden at Worcester last July but he's struggled in three handicaps since; Flat bred and this is a radically new trip, after all previous starts over about 2m, but he rallied well in that Worcester race; could be interesting if strong in the market. |
16/1 |

11th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 5 |

Backed at prices when showing more at Worcester last summer but has struggled in two handicaps since; yard has been quiet and he's not obviously fancied back from four months off. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
11-time AW winner; quiet for Chelsea Banham this year but dropping down the weights and he is one of four runners on the card for connections that all require close market surveillance. |
9/1 |

9th 13 (1) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
11-time AW winner but he's been out of sorts for new yard since December and was last of eight over C&D last time; mark is tumbling but he has lots to prove and needs a major revival. |
66/1 |
|
8th 6 (8) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
All 11 wins on the AW, including one over C&D, though his latest success for the Moores was in a Newcastle seller (1m, Tapeta) in October; out of the frame in all four starts for this yard since then and may be best watched despite his declining mark. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Two wins over hurdles last October (first over 3m) and creditable runs since; quite interesting on her chase debut. |
13/2 |

2nd 3 |
1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Made a winning start for this trainer at Wetherby (2m5f, good) in October; hasn't really built on that since (beaten 17l when second over just short of 3m at Newcastle latest) but this is a weak race and being dropped another 2lb can only help. |
3/1 |

2nd 7 |
3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Made a winning start for this trainer at Wetherby (2m5f, good; 4-1) in October, but she has found a few stronger since, including when a weakening third at Southwell (3m; beaten 12l) a fortnight ago; place possible, but no more than that from this mark. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Respectable efforts since switching to handicaps, notably a fourth at Aintree on Boxing Day (2m4f, good to soft; fine at 2m and on good); had a break since her no-show at Ludlow the following month; not dismissed. |
14/1 |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Has produced two respectable efforts since switching to handicaps this season, most recently when fourth over 2m4f at Aintree last month, though that did appear to stretch her stamina; dropping back in trip should help, but she does appear to be on a tough mark. |
16/1 |

31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |

Outran 80-1 odds when second in run-of-the-mill Worcester maiden (2m, good) in August and was running well before falling on both subsequent outings but today's race is much stronger. |

18th Feb 2026 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Distant third at Worcester (2m, good) in September probably the best of her qualifying runs; no impact when 33-1 for a Hereford handicap in October and came down at the first when back in maiden company a fortnight ago; it's still relatively early days but others are far more solid. |

4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |

Modest form so far; was a bit keen when beaten 20l last time and has further to go on this handicap debut, so will need to settle better. |
