28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Bumper winner for Don Cantillon; fair third at Hereford (2m maiden; 15-2) in April, but has struggled to replicate that since, beaten 15l (seventh of 11) at Uttoxeter five weeks ago; competes from easing mark in added cheekpieces. |

Kept on for third of 13 in Hereford maiden (2m, good) in April but safely held when filling same position in two subsequent handicaps (both 2m, good) and needs improvement here. |

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. |

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 |

1st 6 |
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. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Struggled in four novice/maiden hurdles last year and was beaten nearly 33l when 9-4 second favourite for last month's stable/handicap debut; needs significant improvement over this new trip but it will be interesting to see whether he's strong in the betting again. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |

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. |

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. |

Has been running well over hurdles and this dual AW winner hasn't had many Flat chances on turf (0-3); on a competitive mark and Hugh Horgan takes off 5lb. |

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. |

11st 10lb |
Placed on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) in October but has disappointed on all three starts this season, most recently when pulled up on stable debut at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good to firm) on Saturday; upped in trip again here; needs to get career back on track. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Bumper winner in July 2025 but his efforts over hurdles have been underwhelming, including in three handicaps; needs to recapture his earlier promise for Robert Stephens but a change of scenery may help as he makes his debut for Henrietta Knight with Sean Bowen booked. |
5/1 |

8th 7 |
1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
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. |

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. |
