24th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Three Flat wins and he's 2-5 over hurdles; competitive in both disciplines since returning from a break and this scenario is ideal for him. |

4th 1 (6) |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Made good start to hurdling career in the autumn, including when going close in a Cheltenham novice (2m4f, good to soft; has won on good ground); reappeared with a creditable third at Plumpton last month and he's feasibly treated on his best Flat form last year, including a sequence of runner-up efforts over staying trips; respected back in this sphere. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Useful Flat performer who made good start to hurdling career in the autumn, including when going close in a Cheltenham novice (2m4f, good to soft; has won on good ground); flopped at Ascot (2m5f, good) in November but has had a break since and retains potential now in his first handicap hurdle. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 102y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
16lb below his last winning mark, but losing run now up to 15; might get more of a pace to run at than when fifth of nine over C&D last time, but others have more to recommend them; stable also runs Simiyann. |

5th 9 (9) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 3 |
8st 3lb |
Handicapper has been relenting and he showed a lot more with third of 14 in a Racing League handicap at Newcastle (about 2m, Tapeta; 25-1) one week ago; a repeat of that puts him bang there; 2lb well in. |
11/2 |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has got himself well handicapped for good reason and his recent thirds were none too threatening; doubts remain; another tweak on the headgear front. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Just 1lb above his last winning mark, but is 6-31 on the AW and 0-18 on turf, including six starts over hurdles; others more solid. |
20/1 |
|
9th 12 (2) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Made all at Kempton (2m, Polytrack) in January and head second to Berkshire Sundance at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) later that month; not quite at the same level at Southwell (2m2f, Tapeta) last month but he failed to settle; Newcastle form figures read 12139 and he has an each-way shout. |
16/1 |

6th 2 (5) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard 2m 2f 98y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Kempton winner (2m Class 4; 3-1, from 3lb lower) on penultimate start; went close to following up - pipped on the post - at Lingfield (2m; 9-2) subsequently; this asks a slightly sterner question over a new distance on the Flat; likely to give another positive account. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Chase/hurdle winner who won on the AW at Lingfield in February 2025; hasn't been in top form on his last couple of runs over hurdles; on a fair mark now. |
20/1 |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Useful on the Flat in his prime but suffered heavy defeat in that sphere last month, after a layoff, and also struggled in a handicap hurdle three weeks ago; sports refitted cheekpieces; others have much less to prove. |
25/1 |
|
6th 2 |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Seven-time Flat winner who has also scored over hurdles (2m1f, soft) and fences (2m, good); on dangerous mark back over jumps but he's not seen much action in the last 12 months and has been tailed off in his last two Flat runs; risks attached. |

14th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 216y |
12st 0lb |
Four-time Flat winner for Michael Bell, rated 78 at his peak; best form on good/good to firm and has been soundly beaten in three hurdle starts for this stable; potentially interesting if the ground is not too slow. |
5/2 |

2nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Four-time Flat winner for Michael bell achieved a rating of 78 in that sphere; best form on good/good to firm and has been soundly beaten in both hurdle starts for new stable; may be of more interest on better ground. |

Four-time Flat winner for Micheal Bell achieved a rating of 78 in that sphere; best form on good/good to firm and was soundly beaten on hurdles debut at Down Royal last month (2m1f, yld-sft); may need better ground. |

6th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Quite lightly raced since 2023 (when a fairly useful 1m6f scorer) but he took a step back in the right direction when fifth of 11 in 1m4f Southwell handicap two weeks ago, doing best of those coming off a steady pace; very much one to consider off a 2lb lower mark. |

5th 1 (8) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |

Rated a good bit higher in the past but has lost his way and was never involved here three weeks ago when behind Pleasant Man. |

6th 1 (6) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Has been a useful handicapper in his time but he was pulled up lame at Newbury in August and then tailed off over 2m here last month; tumbling down the weights but comes with risk attached. |

24th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Form figures of 121611 in his six handicaps, with 2m aiding the cause at Newbury (good to firm) when he made all in cheekpieces on last two outings; up another 5lb but no shock if he again proves very tough to pass. |
13/8 |
|
8 (7) |
5th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Sent handicapping this term and has won three of those five starts, last time upped to 2m when making all to justify favouritism with first-time cheekpieces in a five-runner race over C&D (good to firm) 12 days ago; raised another 5lb but he's the only 3yo in this field and he's progressing. |
13/8 |
|
1st 4 (1) |
24th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Up in trip to score on reappearance/handicap debut in June (Wolverhampton, 1m4f) and doubled his tally when winning at Chelmsford (1m5f, also AW) at the start of this month; beaten on turf over 1m6f (good) either side of that but first time was creditable effort and it was a much better race than this 19 days ago; cheekpieces go on and he should stay this far. |
