17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 26y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Remote third over hurdles 12 days ago but had been running quite well on the Flat prior to that, including fifth of 13 over 1m2f here (good to soft) in August; his peak RPRs have been achieved over that trip so his stamina isn't assured. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
With Roger Teal when well beaten in two runs over hurdles last winter; had wind surgery since and has been running quite well at a fair level on the Flat for current yard; could run well getting plenty of weight fromf the three previous winners. |

Right back on song with second of 18 at York (1m2f) in June but only fifth of eight at Southwell (1m3f) since; needs to bounce back if he's to double his tally here. |

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 |

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 |

5th 12 |
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. |
