31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 59y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won a low-grade Flat handicap last summer but has modest record over hurdles and was well beaten at Taunton (2m, good) last month, after a layoff; might be aided by refitted cheekpieces on this chasing debut but is not bred for fences; risky. |
14/1 |

9th 2 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Won over a mile on the Flat last summer but has yet to transfer that ability to hurdles, last seen pulling up at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) in October on handicap hurdle debut; returns from a 184-day break off 3lb lower, but still with a bit to prove. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Won on the Flat this summer (wore cheeklpieces) and belied 66-1 odds when fourth in Stratford maiden hurdle (2m, good; no headgear) last month; well beaten on recent handicap hurdle debut, though, and difficult to enthuse over after that performance; cheekpieces refitted. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple wins include four over C&D; his losing AW run goes back two years but he's on a handy mark now and showed he can make it pay when close up at Bath (1m) recently after getting checked in his run; blinkers return and Oisin Murphy rides for the first time; can be involved. |

Multiple winner; goes well at this track and was outstayed over 1m2f here 15 days ago; this trip is a better fit for him. |

13-time winner who has frame possibilities returned to Bath with AW reappearance under his belt; record here comprises a 2l fourth in this race last year and two wins over 1m. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |

Just 1-8 over hurdles but returned from break with creditable second behind in-form stablemate at Ffos Las (2m, good) last month and remains on a workable mark; respected. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
21st Apr 2026 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Improved to win good-ground Worcester maiden (2m, good to soft) in September and subsequently made the frame in two 2m Huntington handicaps (good/good to soft); returns from four-month break on workable mark but riding arrangements suggest Trust House is the stable's main hope. |
7/1 |
|
5th 5 |
15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Fair Flat racer who has improved with experience over hurdles and was seemingly relaxed by first-time hood when winning a Worcester maiden (2m, good to soft) last month; that form has recently been given a good boost by the runner-up and this fellow could have a lot more to offer in handicap hurdles. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
0-14 on Flat turf and a beaten favourite at Musselburgh two weeks ago; his hurdles record (2-7) is better but he had no obvious excuse when fifth to Indemnity at Plumpton (33-1) last month; others appeal more. |
20/1 |

3rd 2 (4) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won on Kempton AW (1m3f; not proven over this far) in February and latest start was up with his best hurdles form; 0-13 on Flat turf but that includes five seconds. |
7/2 |

5th 5 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Won twice early-season and better again when second in classy small-field races at Cheltenham and Wincanton, the latest a Grade 2; returned from a break with a win on the AW so his run in the Morebattle at Kelso goes down as disappointing; the return of a hood is no bad thing; enjoys good ground. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

Still a maiden and isn't particularly solid on his form (Flat/hurdles) for current yard; first-time blinkers need to make a difference. |

23rd Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
15-race maiden under rules but didn't shape without promise when sixth of 11 finishers on hurdling debut at Stratford (2m, good) 17 days ago; needs to improve but holds place claims. |
16/1 |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
14-race maiden who showed some useful form as a 2yo and 3yo in Ireland but has become disappointing; has the stamina for hurdling but still makes only limited appeal on debut over jumps. |

Runner-up in an Irish bumper and again in his two runs over hurdles; latest Stratford conqueror isn't a bad sort and this 5yo brings potential into handicaps after a break. |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |

11st 6lb |
A bumper winner for Henry Daly in October 2024, he ran his best race over hurdles when beaten half a length at Taunton (2m, good) last month following a six-month break; looks sure to pay his way in the coming months and holds claims. |
9/2 |

9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |

Debut bumper scorer who was shaping up well over hurdles until coming in a below-par third of 12 in 2m Stratford novice in September; off since but no surprise if he took a step forward now going handicapping for shrewd yard. |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Ran as though something was amiss on last of six Flat starts for Owen Burrows, but some of his form in that sphere was very promising and he'll be fine stamina-wise over hurdles for new stable; interesting to see how well he takes to this game. |

31st May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Brother to Arc winner Waldgeist; this 4yo, contrastingly, is a five-race maiden but he's placed on AW over 1m6f and 1m4f in his two handicaps and this longer trip is plausible; sole turf start was debut last August (tailed off on heavy); cheekpieces go on. |

Showed some ability remained when fifth at Chester in June (7.6f, good) but well held Flat and hurdles since; tailed off in the faces of a stiff task at Chester on Saturday. |

Dual AW winner; beaten 5.5l over C&D (good) a month ago on first run for 187 days and could be sharper for that outing, and benefit from the new cheekpieces; one to consider. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Dual 1m4f AW winner for Michael Bell in March; soundly beaten in three maiden hurdles (2m-2m4f) for new stable last month but now makes handicap hurdle debut from a lowly mark and it won't be a surprise if she gets much more competitive this time. |

10st 10lb |
Returned from break with respectable fourth on handicap debut at Taunton (2m3f, good) last month but that form leaves her with a bit to find here and she needs to bounce back quickly from a poor run 12 days ago. |

12th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Low-mileage 5yo who returned from six months off with a solid fourth of nine on her handicap debut at Taunton (2m3f) 20 days ago; she can do better off a 2lb lower mark. |

4th 7 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Finding her feet over hurdles and October's third at Hereford (2m, good) when last seen was quite encouraging; pedigree suggests this new trip can unlock more and she's one to be interested in on this handicap debut despite the absence. |
