20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won by 15l at Salisbury (1m2f, heavy; 5-2 fav; first run as a gelding) last September, and posted another solid effort at Newbury (1m2f, soft) next time; now 14lb above that winning mark and seemed to need recent Musselburgh comeback run/stable debut (31,000gns buy from Roger Teal). |

12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Considerable improvement over 1m2f in the mud once gelded last August, but well beaten in both his hurdle races this winter; this is first run since leaving Roger Teal for 31,000gns in February and given wind surgery; not as solid as some of these but stable is among the winners. |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Displayed considerable improvement on the Flat once gelded and, although eventually finishing well held on last month's hurdle debut at Newbury (2m, good to soft; 4-1) following a break, there were positives to take and an improved effort would be no surprise; hooded latest but not today. |

9st 2lb |
Beaten 15l when second on handicap debut at Salisbury (1m2f, heavy) in September; tailed off on both starts since, wearing cheekpieces back on heavy going last time; lightly raced but she lacks solid claims. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Fair on the Flat at around 1m2f for the Kublers last year and made satisfactory stable/hurdle debut when fourth (albeit well held) against own age-group at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft) in March; ideally needs to settle better but the forecast faster ground here ought to suit; each-way claims. |

5th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Sole win came here on the Flat over 1m2f; has shaped well enough in three hurdle runs to believe he could have a future off this sort of mark. |
5/2 |

12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Has shaped with some promise, without making a major impact, in juvenile hurdles at Doncaster and Chepstow; may show improvement returned to Ffos Las, having gained sole Flat win here (soft); interesting. |
12/1 |

27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Class 6 Flat handicap winner (1m2f, soft) whose hurdle debut fourth at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) last month gives him something to build on; however, others in this line-up have achieved considerably more. |

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. |

29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Scored at Chelmsford (1m5f) for Roger Varian in January; not disgraced for his new yard with third of six in 1m6f Yarmouth handicap nine days ago, so he's one to consider. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
The winner of one of his 11 starts for Roger Varian, namely a 13.3f handicap at Chelmsford in January; sold for 8,500gns last month; still to prove as good on turf as AW but that is perhaps circumstance, rather than a marked preference for artificial surfaces. |
7/1 |

8th 8 (10) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Looked on the up when gaining a breakthrough victory at Chelmsford (1m5f) in January; hasn't matched that form both runs since but he failed to last home when fifth in 2m Lingfield handicap last time; not out of things in a change of headgear over this shorter trip. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-12 but very nearly got off the mark at Bath (1m, heavy) last month and again ran well when 2l third of 11 at Kempton (1m, AW) last time; can be in the mix and very testing conditions would boost her claims. |
9/1 |

3rd 8 (6) |
24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Ploughed through deep ground when upped to 1m at Bath this month, finding just a stablemate too strong; 1m2f on similar ground was perhaps a step too far last time; can get back on track if taking to AW. |
16/1 |
