26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Kept on for third of 13 in Hereford maiden (2m, good) in April but was below that form when well-held third of six over that C&D on last month's handicap debut; needs help from the new tongue-tie here. |
11/2 |

3rd 3 |
5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Bumper winner who made the frame in his first two runs over hurdles before a disappointing effort at Fakenham (2m, good to soft) in October, after which he underwent wind surgery; returned from a break to finish a solid third over C&D last month and, still unexposed, may have more to offer now switching to handicaps. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |

Bumper winner; placed form over hurdles and he's had wind surgery since a poor run at Fakenham in October; has to be considered in this modest a race. |

Won four times on Flat AW; always behind before being pulled up on hurdles debut at Worcester (2m, good to soft; 80-1); best watched. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Four-time AW winner, always in low-grade handicaps at around 1m; struggled when upped to 1m4f for recent stable debut and looks too risky on this first start over hurdles. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 150y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Has a patchy profile but he's 2-4 since switched to handicaps and that last success was after a break at Exeter (2m7f, good to soft) last month; up 5lb but he rallied well last time and is open to more progress at staying trips; shortlisted. |
3/1 |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Flopped badly in cheekpieces (now removed) at Exeter when last seen; scored at Lingfield (2m7f, good to soft; second handicap attempt) earlier in November and may still have more to offer; not written off. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 10 |
22nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
He's struggled on his three hurdle starts (2m/1m7f) but wasn't devoid of promise in his sole bumper and now goes handicapping off a lowly mark in a first-time tongue-tie; his useful half-brother Harry Senior improved when he was upped to this sort of trip and it will be no surprise if he takes a big step forward; the betting may prove key. |

10st 2lb |
Placed on bumper debut in 2024 for Fergal O'Brien; struggled in four novice/maiden hurdles for Max Young last year but makes stable/handicap debut off a lowly mark and it will be very interesting to see what Ben Pauling can do with him. |
2/1 |

15th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

18th Feb 2026 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won at Stratford (2m2f, good) on handicap debut; pulled up at Cheltenham (2m4f) later in October after a mistake three out caused the saddle to slip and jockey to lose irons; he disputed the lead at the time of that mishap (albeit after earlier jumping issues as well) but did not run so well there in November (2m, soft); absent 96 days since but needs a second look. |
5/1 |

24th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Unexposed 5yo who is a half-brother to stable's top-class hurdler The New One; made all to beat six rivals on recent handicap debut at Stratford (2m2f, good); hiked up in grade here but still has potential. |
12/1 |

15th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Half-brother to stable's top-class hurdler The New One; awarded small-field Newton Abbot bumper a year ago and ran well for a long way when third on subsequent hurdling debut at Fakenham (2m, good); can feature here if ready to roll after 11-month break. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |

Deservedly got off the mark over hurdles at Newcastle (2m4f) in January and not disgraced under a penalty despite coming in last of five in 3m Musselburgh novice 41 days ago; must enter calculations with cheekpieces added. |
6/4 |

31st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |

Beaten on first four hurdle starts (good to soft/good) before winning recent maiden at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) when well backed; others have more substance to their form but this 5yo could have more to offer up in trip now things have clicked; interesting. |

Fairly useful bumper scorer last July; yet to match that form in five runs over hurdles, going too freely after six months off when ninth of 12 in 2m Ffos Las handicap in May; should strip sharper here. |

Won good-ground Worcester bumper in good style this summer and ran well to a point on hurdle debut there (2m, good to soft) in September but both runs this month were disappointing and he needs to up his game in this first handicap. |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Displayed significant improvement when fitted with cheekpieces for chasing debut at Fakenham (2m5f, good to soft) in January, making all to win by just over 7l; lacked fluency and was pulled up at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) the following month but has strong claims if back on song after 97-day break. |
5/2 |

9th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Maiden hurdler who was a very different proposition on her chase debut at Fakenham (2m5f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) three weeks ago when she scored easily by just over 7l; a 7lb rise could have been worse and there's stamina in the pedigree. |
11/10 |

1st 7 |
18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 44y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Unable to justify prominence in the betting when safely held in two handicap hurdles (2m4f/3m) towards end of last year but remains unexposed after only six starts and this switch to fences may prompt the improvement that has evidently been expected; sports first-time cheekpieces. |
