6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Form for new yard comprises a staying-on third at York (1m4f; first Flat start since 2024) and career-best success, with visor applied, in notable 2m handicap hurdle at Market Rasen; may have more to offer in the retained headgear; respected. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Useful Flat performer and also 2-15 as a hurdler (regularly placed); left Harry Fry for £15,000 and was a 6l third over 1m4f at York on last week's stable debut (no headgear); first-time visored now (effective in tongue-tie/cheekpieces). |

Quite useful on the Flat at the start of his career; similar standard over hurdles for Harry Fry in more recent times; sold for £15,000 in July and joined a stable with excels with new recruits. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Maiden hurdler but he's been a big improver since switched to fences, winning over 3m at Warwick in June before following up over 2m4f at Worcester (both on good); disappointing when favourite in his hat-trick bid at Worcester last month but he's still unexposed over fences and remains feasibly treated on his penultimate form; big player if he can bounce back. |

4th 2 |
16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Maiden hurdler but he's been a big improver since switched to fences, winning over 3m at Warwick last month before following up over about 2m4f here (both on good) two weeks ago; up another 7lb but he won going away last time and is a major player again in his bid to make it 3-4 as a chaser. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Maiden hurdler who is already doing better over fences, having stayed on well to win at Warwick (3m, good) in June on his second chase start; had run well over a similar trip to today's the time before and, although back up 5lb, he should have more to come. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Has improved for good ground in winning her last two races (2m3f/2m5f), both with plenty in hand; raised 10lb for last time but she's only raced 13 times and is clearly on the upgrade. |

1st 6 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Would have found conditions too soft when seventh behind Pretending at Market Rasen and she then justified market confidence with a narrow win at Bangor (2m3f, good); she travelled much the best in that race but the handicapper went with an 11lb rise and that asks major questions in this loftier grade. |

1st 1 |
31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Both her novice wins came on good ground and she'll appreciate a return to such conditions after running fairly well on soft last time at Market Rasen (2m4f); considered off her lowest mark in a handicap. |

Switching to fences has reaped benefits, backing up his opening Stratford win with an authoritative display under 5lb claimer at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good; evens favourite); another 5lb higher today; Sean Bowen is back aboard; strong likelihood of better to come, and stable won this last year, so he is the one to beat. |

Safley held in his three completed qualifying races but caught the eye when travelling well for a long way on penultimate appearance and is open to improvement on this handicap debut. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-13 over hurdles and has struggled a little with consistency in the past, with his better efforts coming over further; however, he went close off a similar mark at Hereford (2m3f, good) in November and, despite the drop back in trip and returning from a break, he still warrants respect. |

10th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |

0-11 over hurdles; runner-up on consecutive 2m4f starts this summer but was pulled up (albeit in a competitive series final) last time and is not the most obvious answer to this competitive race. |

Close second to Service Minimum over C&D (good; first-time tongue-tie) last month but a lesser effort behind Intosomethinggood followed three weeks ago and he's now 0-10 over hurdles. |
