19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Did well for Tom Lacey in early part of last season, winning three times over hurdles, and reappeared with fairly encouraging chase debut in May; failed to build on that when well-held fourth over C&D last month but still enters calculations in this lower grade. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Much improved for Tom Lacey last season when a three-time 2m hurdles winner; off six months and made a promising start in this sphere with third of five in 2m1f handicap at Stratford 32 days ago, running on late under a patient ride; one to be interested in off a 2lb lower mark. |

Four-times winning hurdler making a belated debut over fences after six-month break; hard to fancy unless there is a move in the market. |

Second of two wins over hurdles came over C&D in October 2024; has been a beaten favourite eight times since and not one to have maximum faith with. |

19th Jul 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |

Consistent 7yo but not well handicapped and again came up short when third over Fontwell's extended 3m1f when last seen; James Robottom has claimed his 10lb on this gelding's last three starts. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
No longer the force of old but returned from break with C&D (good) win off much reduced mark in June and subsequently ran well over fences here; still well handicapped over hurdles and seems versatile regarding ground; no surprise if he features. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Capitalised on a reduced mark over hurdles here (2m1f, good) ten days ago when back from a break; he wasn't running well over fences towards the end of last year but he's a three-time chase winner who is able to run off the same mark as for that recent hurdle win, so is entitled to respect. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Nine-time winner over jumps, including over C&D last July; out of form over hurdles and fences afterwards but the booking of James King catches the eye and, having dropped to a career-low mark, this 11yo could be a player back from a break. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Been around a bit and has regressed sharply for this yard, mainly over hurdles; Sapphire Sirocco looks the more likkely of the stable pair. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |

Out of form over a range of trips for new stable this spring (five runs; including one on the Flat); drops back to 2m after 42l defeat over 2m7f in refitted cheekpieces (retained) ten days ago; revival needed. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 75y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
6yo who has been a big improver since switched to fences and he made it 4-8 in this sphere when completing a four-timer over C&D (good to firm) on Saturday; has a penalty but that was a comfortable success and he's unbeaten in three chase runs at at Newton Abbot; strong contender. |
11/8 |

1st 1 |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 75y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Hat-trick (2m-extended 2m3f) before the break included two C&D wins in July, latest when scoring convincingly off an 8lb lower mark and the runner-up has run well since; this mark demands more but he's thriving and a bold bid can be expected for the four-timer. |

13th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Probably fortunate when left clear to score at Stratford (2m3f, good to firm) last month but readily followed up in four-runner C&D (good) contest ten days ago and is evidently in prime form. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Resumed from a layoff in good nick, her stamina carrying the day over 1m on comeback before a solid effort off her revised mark over C&D last time; one to consider under Billy Loughnane in first-time headgear. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Far too inconsistent to rely upon heavily but just did enough to cause 22-1 surprise on recent seasonal debut at Salisbury (1m, good to firm; front pair clear), and could be seen to even better effect now back up in trip. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

0-15 under all codes and absent since well-held fourth over hurdles in October; will probably find this trip too sharp; best to look elsewhere. |

5th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Front-runner who won twice at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) and once over hurdles in the spring; up another 4lb on this return to the Flat and may not be allowed his own way this time. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |

Carried the good cheer of a successful spell on the Tapeta back across to hurdles at Fakenham latest (3m, good), winning as he pleased; 8lb rise looks about right, and has stamina to spare down in trip. |

1st 2 |
31st May 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |

0-5 over hurdles, having been pulled up in both handicaps last year (2m1f/2m3f), but returns to this code after two 1m6f AW wins this spring and is evidenty in good nick; tries a new trip; likely contender. |

0-8 over hurdles and twice disappointing since a third of six at Newton Abbot in September (2m1f, good to soft); wouldn't be the obvious answer on this switch to fences. |

21st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 5 |

0-7 and down the field at Taunton in November last time, but looked stretched by 2m3f; prior to that he ran okay when third of six at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to soft); might have each-way chance now back down in trip. |

Hasn't got a lot going in his previous four chases but well handicapped on some of his hurdle form and didn't run too badly in that discipline last time. |

5th 12 |
4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |

Very opposable on this season's exploits but he has dropped to a dangerous mark and this 6yo could stage a revival at some point; worth checking the betting. |
14/1 |

8th 10 |
16th Sep 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Made disappointing start to chasing career this season (three attempts) and reverted to hurdling with a heavy defeat and a fall last month; lurks on a good mark but needs to turn a corner. |
