2nd 4 |
29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 172y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Only three runs over fences but already a better chaser than hurdler; well on top to win at Wincanton in November (1m7f, good; 5lb lower) and the softer surface at Ludlow (good to soft) was a feasible excuse next time; absent since December but likely to go well. |

2nd 3 |
18th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Returned from one-year absence with low-key run in 2m4f maiden hurdle last month (raced too freely) and is now 0-7 in that sphere; entitled to have benefited from that outing but needs this switch to chasing to enable improvement. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-12 over hurdles but he ran well to finished second off this mark at Huntingdon (2m3f, soft) in February; this is a deeper race but he's versatile ground-wise and has each-way claims again after a short break. |

5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |

Still a maiden over hurdles and he was beaten off current mark, having made mistakes, at Huntingdon (2m4f) on most recent attempt in this sphere. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 4 |

A fair 1m2f Flat scorer who has shown similar form in this sphere, collared only late on when a good runner-up in 2m4f Worcester novice three weeks ago; big shout. |

29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 123y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Two wins over 2m4f on good ground at Worcester (maiden/handicap) in the autumn and creditable fourth at Aintree (3m, soft) in December when his jumping lacked fluency and he didn't see the trip out that well; disputed favouritism at Newbury (2m4f) last month but clipped heels and slipped up before halfway; cheekpieces go on and he needs to resume improvement, with Sean Bowen (on board for those wins) back. |

17th Feb 2026 2m 4f 118y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Two wins over 2m4f on good ground at Worcester (maiden/handicap) and, although only fourth on soft off this higher mark at Aintree, he didn't run badly given his jumping lacked fluency; still lightly raced and by no means ruled out. |
5/1 |

22nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Improved upon his debut third at Chepstow (2m, good) in April to win a maiden hurdle over this C&D (good) last month; he begins handicap life on a fair mark and this very lightly raced 5yo could have more to offer. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Eight-race maiden who showed a bit more last time when beaten 8l in a 2m6f handicap hurdle at Stratford; that was his first run in cheekpieces as well; chase debut. |
14/1 |

6th 7 |
28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
No impact in any of his seven races, the last two of which were handicaps at Kempton (3m, good; hooded) and Hereford (3m2f, soft); hooded on penultimate start and now tries cheekpieces; fair bit to prove even though the move back down in trip may help. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Made all for two good-ground novice hurdle wins last November (2m, 2m3f); lesser form this year likely more to do with a refusal to settle under restraint than the move to handicaps, but a return to previous tactics may put him in a pace battle with a few here; chasers in pedigree. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 144y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Made the running when winning two novice hurdles in November (2m3f/2m, good); ridden with restraint and pulled hard when failing to threaten in February in his first two handicaps (2m, good to soft/soft); could yet be capable of considerably better for his top yard, and a return to more prominent tactics might be the catalyst for an improved performance. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Well held in a valuable Newbury bumper in March 2024 and beaten 38l and 47l in both starts over hurdles, most recently at Hereford (2m3.5f, good to soft) in November; lots more needed back from a 303-day absence. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |

Went close in a maiden point last spring but has not shown any worthwhile form under rules since (including two handicap runs). |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Modest point form, though he nearly won his final start in April; pulled up over hurdles at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good; 66-1) last month and easy to look elsewhere. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |

Nothing to show from two hurdle runs in France and modest point form earlier this year, for all that he nearly won his final one; very opposable. |

18th Feb 2026 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Merely sixth, beaten 15l, on last month's handicap debut at Newbury (2m, good to soft); however, it may well have been a warm race and prior to that he went close in a novice at Leicester (1m7f, soft); retains potential. |
12/1 |

14th Jan 2026 Good 2m 0f 69y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Good-ground bumper winner who was a close second at Leicester (1m7f, soft) in November on his third hurdle start; the winner followed up in a handicap, indicating this unexposed 5yo has a workable opening mark. |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Landed his second of two bumpers at Bangor (2m, good) in April; promising start over hurdles when third to one that has won again since at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month; steps back in trip and looks sure to run well. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Has shown some ability in his bumpers but made an underwhelming start to his hurdle career when a 46l fifth of eight over 2m here last month; needs to find considerable improvement for this longer trip. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Has produced two respectable efforts since switching to handicaps this season, most recently when fourth over 2m4f at Aintree last month, though that did appear to stretch her stamina; dropping back in trip should help, but she does appear to be on a tough mark. |

Outran 80-1 odds when second in run-of-the-mill Worcester maiden (2m, good) in August and was running well before falling on both subsequent outings but today's race is much stronger. |

11st 1lb |
Dual AW winner; beaten 5.5l over C&D (good) a month ago on first run for 187 days and could be sharper for that outing, and benefit from the new cheekpieces; one to consider. |

3rd 6 |
21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
A fair 1m4f Flat winner but she's yet to match that form in this sphere, fifth of six in C&D handicap in October; needs to step forward after her absence. |
12/1 |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Dual 1m4f AW winner for Michael Bell in March; soundly beaten in three maiden hurdles (2m-2m4f) for new stable last month but now makes handicap hurdle debut from a lowly mark and it won't be a surprise if she gets much more competitive this time. |
