Five-time winner; first run since March when a rallying third over C&D three weeks ago; thereabouts. |
6/1 |

23rd Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Effective on good to soft; most recent AW form is not overly inspiring but on a perfectly good mark and can go well when fresh. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |

Three AW wins last year, the latest over C&D in October and he's now back to that mark for the first time since; bits of encouragement since give him a place in calculations. |

15th Jul 2026 Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual C&D winner on fast ground, including when 2lb higher last August; backed that up with success from 5lb higher at Salisbury (1m2f) next time but has been nowhere near that level since; well beaten here latest and plenty to prove at present. |
25/1 |

5th 3 (3) |
1st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won four times on fast ground last summer, two of them over C&D; possible to make excuses for most of his runs since (the latest on ground slower than ideal and after 164 days off) and this race, under optimal conditions, should be a better guide as to just where he stands at present. |
20/1 |

11th 4 (2) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 13lb |
Won four times on good to firm/firm ground last summer, latterly off a 1lb higher mark; lost his way since a fall over hurdles last autumn and has achieved little on going that includes the word 'soft'; needs to bounce back following a layoff. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has modest strike-rate in recent years and ought to have coped better with the heavy ground when safely held on last two starts at Ffos Las (1m2f/1m); needs to up his game. |
14/1 |

1 (7) |
28th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole handicap win over 1m on good ground but he has form on soft and heavy; signs of a revival two starts ago but he failed by a long chalk to confirm it on this track since; still capable of going well off his reduced mark if refitting cheekpieces helps. |
8/1 |
|
4 (6) |
9th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Has dropped to a handy mark, but he didn't get going until it was too late when fourth of eight over C&D (good to soft) 12 days ago; capable of playing a part if things drop right; stable also runs Zambezi Magic. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Reliable sort with five wins in the bag; a beaten favourite on his last two starts, his turn may be near once more but he is 2lb higher than his last winning mark. |
13/2 |
|
6th 3 (11) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Easily best known for exploits at Bath, where he's been runner-up three times this season; 0-10 here, admittedly twice runner-up and also third of 15 in May (1m2f) but he may have to settle for another place return. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 6 (1) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Four course wins over 1m2f on fast ground; three solid efforts in defeat this year, again over 1m2f, and he has handled slow ground in the past; unlikely to be far away back at 1m. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won over 1m on reappearance at Bath and has run respectably on four of last five outings; no reason why he shouldn't give a good account. |
4/1 |

20th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made all to make a winning handicap debut at Bath in June (1m, good); not used that as a springboard to better things and he wasn't at his best last time but no doubt he has the ability to feature. |
4/1 |
|
3 (8) |
23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Resumed with 1m victory at Bath in June and largely in good form since, fifth of eight in 1m2f Ffos Las handicap 26 days ago; he ought to be thereabouts once more. |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Runner-up in a Southwell novice in January when with James Ferguson; rather disappointing on turf since; on a good mark back on the AW; could run well. |
8/1 |

17th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Seven-race maiden but with less to prove than some of these after finishing well for second over this far in a Ffos Las handicap three weeks ago (good to soft; unraced on slower); should be in the thick of it off the same mark. |
5/1 |

28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Promising runner-up on AW (1m) in January but she hasn't looked to be crying out for a step up in trip in the meantime and others have less to prove stamina-wise. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Best effort in six outings for Hughie Morrison was her win in a handicap at Ffos Las (1m2f, good to soft) in August, the first of two starts in cheekpieces; first-time hood when pipped in 15-runner race at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) four weeks ago, which was a bright start under Ashley Lewis for new yard; up 3lb but a player if she's as effective on today's ground. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 9 (12) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Best effort in her six outings for Hughie Morrison last season when winning 1m2f Ffos Las handicap (good to soft) in cheekpieces; a first-time hood is the choice of headgear setting out for a new yard after 197 days off; less exposed than most of these and would need considering if the betting vibes are positive. |

23rd Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Loves it here and loves the mud, so this dry spell has done him no favours; probably one for another day. |

5th 6 (3) |
4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 5 |

Ran okay after a break on the AW and he loves it here, especially when the mud is flying; the recent rain has helped his cause no end. |
6/1 |

7th 6 (11) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Prolific at Ffos Las in the mud but just 1-40 away from that track; easy enough to look elsewhere now returning from an absence and from a wide stall. |
33/1 |
