25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 178y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Fairly useful Flat racer; runner-up on first three hurdle starts (all 2m) before cruising clear in four-runner Ascot maiden (2m3f, good) last month; could easily have more improvement to come in handicap hurdles; interesting. |

29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 63y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Bumper winner who then won two Flat handicaps for Ralph Beckett; he's getting there over hurdles judged on his near miss at Taunton (2m, good) and this longer trip could trigger the improvement he'll need to trouble West Hill Verde. |

Bumper winner who then won two handicaps on the Flat for Ralph Beckett, the latest at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) in October; runner-up on both starts over hurdles, last time finishing 10l second at Kempton (2m, good; third has won since); contender. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Sole win came as a 2yo last August but he's been runner-up from off the pace on varied ground in three of his last five starts, over this sort of trip on last two occasions; each-way contender again. |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
No match for the progressive Bosphorus Rose at Catterick latest (soft), but didn't fail for stamina on that second 1m4f outing; new career-low mark despite that above-par run, and return to sounder turf is fine. |
6/1 |

23rd Jul 2025 Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Held up this season; second at Chester (1m2f) in May is easily the best of his five runs this season and he was tailed off at Epsom latest on first attempt at 1m4f; visored last four starts and tongue tied latest, but cheekpieces (tried once as 2yo, below form) return; unraced on softer than good. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
C&D winner last July who's never run on the AW off a mark quite this high (been in good form on turf lately, including a Nottingham win off 5lb lower); needs to find a bit more again. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Not seen on the Flat since signing off for Ed Walker with narrow success in first-time blinkers at Salisbury (1m2f, good) in October but won a recent handicap hurdle for new connections (no headgear) and is unexposed over this sort of trip in this sphere. |
7/1 |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Fairly useful on the Flat when based with Ed Walker; well beaten on stable/hurdle debut in January but his next two runs were much more encouraging, and there is still hope that more of his Flat ability can be transferred to this discipline. |

Flat winner in UK showed a hint of ability in four hurdle runs there; fell four out on stable/seasonal debut at Clonmel; only 10/1 that day so considered for a yard that does well here. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 113y |

Flat winner; no sign of winning potential in four maiden hurdles at 2m-2m1f but may improve for switch to a handicap on stable bow; check market. |

0-7 for James Horton but she finished second in turf handicaps over 1m4f and 1m6f last season; sold for 27,000gns in October; likely to stay 2m and she's not fully exposed; interesting. |
7/4 |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won three times here (1m) in his first four starts for this trainer in 2025; has found life tough from an elevated mark since; "stopped quickly" in added cheekpieces at Ayr (1m2f; 22-1, beaten 36l) latest; risky proposition. |
25/1 |
|
11th 4 (9) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Did well for new stable last season, winning three times over 1m at Ripon; also suited by 1m2f, but launched this campaign with two low-key runs (7f/1m) and needs a good boost from the new cheekpieces. |
12/1 |
|
8th 8 (5) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Never dangerous over 7f in sole outing this term; has a record of 3-3 over C&D (all on good ground last term; 0-17 elsewhere) and looks very interesting returned to this scenario; favourably treated off 1lb below last winning mark. |

16th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won two handicaps over about 1m4f last summer, in a mixed record; one of the lesser efforts was his AW debut (Kempton Polytrack) when last seen; left Richard Hannon for 20,000gns last October and this is his first run since (gelded in interim). |
20/1 |

6th 5 (1) |
10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
2-4 since switched to middle-distance handicaps, the latter win gained in three-runner race at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) in August; raced too freely and was well beaten in first-time cheekpieces (retained) last month; not easy to predict on this AW debut. |
7/1 |
|
8th 7 (9) |
5th Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Flopped at Thirsk on penultimate start but won over this sort of trip at Windsor and Newmarket in his other two handicaps, all three of them on good to firm; cheekpieces are installed after his narrow verdict in a three-runner race last time; lightly raced 3yo from whom more improvement is possible. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y |

Won 1m4f AW handicap for Ed Bethell in October 2024; no worthwhile form in three turf starts for Tim Easterby; folded tamely behind Church Mountain on stable debut last month. |
20/1 |
|
11th 3 (10) |
23rd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Won a 1m4f handicap on AW for Ed Bethell in October 2024; not so good in most recent runs, including three turf starts for Tim Easterby; makes stable debut now and perhaps return to AW can help. |
20/1 |
|
9th 6 (4) |
5th Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won a 1m4f handicap on AW for Ed Bethell last October; not so good on his last four outings, with new stable for last two, and his record in turf handicaps suggests he is opposable. |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Multiple turf winner at up to 11.5f; less effective on AW surfaces but her best such effort was when last tried at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in May; if able to repeat that form she would have claims from this 5lb lower mark but she's not easy to predict. |
12/1 |
|
10th 2 (10) |
5th Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
1m2f win here in April in a consistent season, bar one blip; raced freely in the lead when she last tried this sort of trip (penultimate start) but she did well over 11.4f on soft when held up last October; each-way player. |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 (3) |
14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Bar one blip she's been running well for George Scott and won over this trip at Haydock in April off the very same mark; last two runs weren't bad at all, having not got the run of things at Ripon and she raced freely when third at Catterick (1m4f). |

Three-time winner (including over C&D) last spring; failed to beat a rival on his last three outings and has lots to prove after a layoff. |

8th 2 (8) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
7-47 on AW but has struggled for form since finishing third at Newcastle (1m, Class 5; from 12lb higher) last November; failed to beat a rival in each of his last two starts (9.4f/1m4f) so it's difficult to have confidence. |
