3rd 8 |
13th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Twice narrowly beaten at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in the winter but he has struggled to get competitive at Musselburgh, Ayr and here in his last three starts; mark is manageable and trainer won a division of this last year with Follow Charlie but he needs a revival in fortunes. |
12/1 |

6th 9 |
24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Dual Flat winner who showed best hurdles form when going very close at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in January/February, latterly to The Coffey Boy; does need to shrug off two lesser runs since, though. |
11/1 |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Dual Flat winner who showed best hurdles form when going very close at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in January/February and ties in with The Coffey Boy on the latter effort; had excuses (unsuited by the track and/or removal of hood) at Musselburgh since; has been taking a good hold and may benefit from this drop back in trip; possibilities. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Has been hurdling for this new yard but yet to make an impact in that sphere; runner-up three times for Rae Guest (1m6f/2m, AW) but others hold greater interest on her return to this code. |
14/1 |

7th 7 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |

0-14 on the Flat; showed first glimmer of hurdling promise for new stable when fifth in C&D maiden three weeks ago but needs further improvement on this handicap debut. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 44y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Gained his only career win in this 12 months ago when 3lb lower and perhaps unlucky not to have won last week at Lingfield (2m AW) given the trouble he found in running; good or quicker ground might be ideal but effective on good to soft. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 6 (8) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win was at Salisbury (1m6f) last August but he's a reliable type who has hasn't been beaten far in his two runs this season including a clear second at Salisbury; looks worth another try at this trip and he's still unexposed on AW; shortlisted. |
7/2 |
|
5 (1) |
6th Jun 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Well suited by a stiff 1m6f and his clear comeback second at Salisbury a month ago has been boosted by the winner going in again since; only 1lb higher and his claims are obvious. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Well held on soft turf a fortnight ago but seems to save his best for AW, including runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m6f) and Lingfield (2m) in the spring; penultimate fourth of 13 back at Lingfield was also respectable and he's well treated on peak form. |
11/2 |
|
8th 1 (11) |
3rd Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Two seconds on AW and back-to-form fourth in that sphere on latest start; however, towards the rear on good ground on his only two turf starts, latterly when tailed off in a 1m6f handicap in June; a hood (absent this year) returns. |
8/1 |
|
4th 5 (13) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up off 3lb higher over C&D in May but his form has nosedived with heavy defeats in both subsequent runs; record is now 0-12 and others are more convincing; visor is removed and cheekpieces return. |

Bit of promise at a modest level on the Flat; hung badly right but opened her account at Fakenham (2m7f) in latest hurdles start; respected off current mark assuming she transfers the form back to this code. |

Veteran; seven-time C&D winner, but latest success was back in 2024 and he hasn't been at his best on the Flat this year. |

9th 9 (2) |
18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |

Seven wins over 2m on the AW here; getting on and lacks consisency now; hard to recommend having twice been pulled up over hurdles latterly. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |

Had lots of Flat racing and won eight times; has yet to offer a great deal over jumps (0-7) but soft ground was no good to him here last time; others are still far more convincing. |

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 |

22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |

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. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Dual Polytrack winner who scored twice over this trip on turf last autumn; wasn't helped by being pestered for the lead when a well-held third of four at Salisbury (1m,6f, good to firm) last month, but still 3lb above his last winning mark; more will be needed. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Gained his most recent success in C&D event (good) last October; best effort this term when going close at Salisbury (1m4f) on penultimate start; not disgraced in higher grade here latest; fighting chance returned to Class 5 and back up in trip. |
13/8 |

4th 6 (5) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |

Perhaps better over further and when going close over C&D a month ago he was edged out by a 66-1 chance who wasn't in much form before that race and has disappointed since; may need a tad more here, though Taryn Langley takes off a handy 5lb. |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |

4 (6) |
31st Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Completed a Southwell double (1m6f, AW) last autumn; 0-10 on turf but although he was beaten just over 14l at Lingfield (1m6f, good) 13l were taken up by the easy winner last time; edging down the weights. |

Won two in a row on the Flat (2m1f/2m, soft) last autumn and running well when falling three out on hurdle debut in December; always in rear back on the Flat last month but that came after a 109-day break and she could leave than run behind this afternoon. |

Won her last two Flat starts in the autumn (2m1f/2m, soft) and she was running well when falling three out on her hurdle debut at Fontwell in December; this is her first run since and she's struggled on AW previously, but she could be a different proposition now; wears first-time hood; could go well. |
