11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 104y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Back off the same mark as when successful at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) last September; Flat form since has been patchy but still one for the shortlist, especially if the ground stays on the soft side. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Achieved little twice over hurdles before his third of five from the front over C&D two months ago when last seen; that was comfortably his best show on AW but he needs to find extra. |

25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |

Achieved little over hurdles the last twice; four-time winner on Flat turf but is less solid on AW form and doesn't seem set to defy top weight. |

17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
4yo who has failed to progress this year but he got back on track with a nose second of six to High Point over C&D (good to soft) three weeks ago; there's every chance he'll be thereabouts once more. |
9/2 |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Progressive in handicaps last term; hasn't continued in the same vein during a fairly light 2025 campaign but faced a tough task in the Old Borough Cup here most recently; this is easier. |

9th 15 (6) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Won two 3yo handicaps last spring (1m4f, soft) and ran well in defeat on first two starts this season (2m, good/AW); disappointing at Ascot (2m, good) last time but holds each-way possibilities if back on song. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Still a maiden but could go well in refitted cheekpieces, having finished a close fifth in sole attempt in this headgear (penultimate start); didn't fare so well back in blinkers latest. |
12/1 |

4th 4 (2) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Touch disappointing over hurdles for this yard but fared better back on the Flat when fifth of 12 over 1m4f at Pontefract (good to soft) 25 days ago and three subsequent winners have emerged from that race; swaps the first-time cheekpieces he wore last time for blinkers he tried once over hurdles; his best RPR on the Flat was achieved over this trip. |
5/1 |

7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Not seen on the Flat since well-held third on heavy ground for Ed Walker last autumn and subsequent hurdling form for Jedd O'Keeffe was not particularly inspiring; sports first-time cheekpieces; others appeal more. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Comfortably justified 4-6 favouritism in a maiden at Carlisle (1m3f, soft) last month; has very low mileage and, although 6-4 favourite, his fourth of six at Haydock (1m6f) on handicap debut three weeks ago was his best form; looked stretched by 1m6f and better may still be forthcoming. |
11/4 |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Brings staying potential, having comfortably justified favouritism in maiden over a stiff 1m3f on soft ground at Carlisle last time; has very low mileage and could well improve further; respected handicap debutant. |
2/1 |

1st 8 (10) |
9th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Encouraging third behind two Gosden-trained inmates at Windsor (1m2f, good) last month following seven-month absence; should be suited by the step up in trip and one of the likelier ones. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Hurdles debutante whose Flat efforts for new yard leave a doubt over her current form; previously a fairly useful sort (peak RPR 87) so brings potential provided a resurgent display materialises. |
14/1 |

10th 11 (9) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won on AW and turf for Hughie Morrison at up to this trip; not that competitive in two runs for current yard and all headgear is now removed; bit risky. |
16/1 |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
2-13 overall and 1-8 in handicaps, the handicap win in a four-runner race (1m2f) last November; probably stays 1m6f but did not show it on latest outing; 5lb lower today than at start of this season but the first-time tongue-tie seemingly needs to make a difference. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Well treated judged on peak form (AW in spring 2025) but it's a serious concern that his latest start (five weeks ago; made most) so seriously damaged his record of going well when back from a break; that was the first time he's been tongue tied (as he is today) and also his first race at Kempton. |
8/1 |

11th 3 (3) |
27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Goes well fresh (twice recorded a personal best when back from a break) and will appreciate this return to an artificial surface; fitting of a tongue-tie for this return could be a sign of intent; of interest. |
12/1 |
|
6th 2 (2) |
27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Bounced back to form in this grade at Windsor (11.5f, soft) last time, while shaping as if this step back up in trip will suit; 1-1 over 1m6f (AW win) and enters calculations. |
