10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Ex-French 1m3f Flat scorer; a fair 2m winning hurdler for her current yard in 2025 but she was tailed off in 2m Ludlow handicap hurdle last month; needs to take a big step forward on her first Flat run since 2023. |

10th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Skelton mare who had excuses (faced stiff task, bled from nose) in notable handicap returned to favoured good ground last time; quite progressive last spring to autumn and looks interesting off a workable mark back down in class. |
4/1 |

5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
All three hurdle wins have been on good ground so drying conditions are a positive, and she has had to deal with soft surfaces the last twice; however, this is by some way the strongest hurdle race she's contested to date. |

18th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won a four-runner maiden here (2m3f) on hurdle debut last March; beaten about 3l on all his three starts since, in handicaps over about 2m5f on last two occasions; absent 101 days but plenty about him suggests a brighter future over fences and that he will stay this trip. |

4th Nov 2025 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Unexposed 5yo who won four-runner Huntingdon maiden (2m3f, good) on hurdle debut in March and returned with respectable second to short-odds winner here (2m, good) in September; upped in trip for this handcap debut and probably still has potential. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Has shown ability over hurdles but she's struggled in her last three runs including when pulled up in a handicap at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) last month; overall record is now 0-9 and others are more convincing. |
16/1 |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Never travelling when pulled up at Hereford last month, and no more encouragement returned to novice company since; new career-low mark still insufficiently tempting. |
16/1 |
|
4th 8 |
24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
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. |

23rd Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
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. |
50/1 |

15th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
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. |

Four AW wins, the last two over 9.5f here for James Owen; having first run for new yard after 304 days on the sidelines; could go well if fully wound up. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Still a maiden and isn't particularly solid on his form (Flat/hurdles) for current yard; first-time blinkers need to make a difference. |
25/1 |
|
5th 8 |
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. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 82y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Has done well since raised to 2m4f and narrowly beaten at Ascot on his penultimate start by one who was well handicapped; beaten too far out at Uttoxeter last time to blame the longer trip (2m7f) but definite chance at this level if he's back on his game. |
100/30 |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Has a solid record (1212) since upped to about 2m4f, the wins at Uttoxeter (3-3 here overall); good effort at Ascot most recently; bred to stay this longer distance and may improve further; strong contender. |
7/1 |

14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 63y Class 2 |

Second-season hurdler who has form figures of 121 since upped to 2m4f, both wins at Uttoxeter (good to soft); goes into deeper waters but may improve further at this sort of distance; respected. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Bumper winner for Olly Murphy in 2024 but has failed to complete in all six hurdle starts, including when pulled up in two handicaps for current yard; still has low mileage but he's hard to recommend. |
40/1 |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |

Bumper winner for Olly Murphy in 2024 but has failed to complete in all five hurdle starts, including when pulled up on last month's handicap/stable debut; swaps hood for first-time cheekpieces but hard to recommend. |
