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. |

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. |

10st 10lb |
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. |

Big player on her form during the first half of last season but neither run this year was anywhere near that level; reservations for now. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Close third in Cheltenham Grade 2 novice (2m good to soft) in October and again ran commendably well when third in Newbury Listed race (2m, soft) a few weeks later but was tailed off when reappearing in a handicap last month and it's hard to know what to expect from her here. |

11st 11lb |
Absent since late November but was in a good run of form back then, finishing close up in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham before again placed in a Listed race for mares; beaten off lower marks in her previous handicaps but looks a better horse now. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |

Pulled up when 150-1 for hurdling debut at Worcester (2m4f, good) in July; had wind op during 12-week break and now drops back in trip. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Dual Flat winner (AW) for previous yard but well held in two runs for current one, on the Flat and on hurdling debut. |
66/1 |

29th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Fair Flat racer who won twice on AW for Archie Watson this spring (1m6f/1m4f); should be fine stamina-wise over hurdles but probably best watched today; refitted cheekpieces replace blinkers. |
25/1 |

4th 6 (3) |
3rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Wins at Wolverhampton in April (1m6f) and June (1m4f); dropped right away in a Class 3 at Wolverhampton five weeks ago but this company should be more manageable; well beaten in two previous Lingfield visits. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

Relatively unexposed, but mainly modest efforts, including on stable debut at Ayr last time (2m7f, good to soft); may do better. |

5th 5 |
31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
A whiff of ability before he flopped badly in his two handicaps (2m4f); has since changed hands and left the Twiston-Davies yard; tongue tied first time for this chase debut after four months off. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |

Well beaten in two bumpers for this stable in March 2024 and also struggled on both hurdling starts for Steph Cameron last autumn; now back in the Twiston-Davies yard; huge improvement needed. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Maiden hurdle winner and competitive in handicaps for his previous yard, which he left for £22,000 and then underwent wind surgery; built for fences so no great surprise to see him justify favouritism at Uttoxter four weeks ago (2m4f, good); beat an in-form horse and would have done so more easily but for one notable mistake; big chance despite being raised 9lb. |
2/1 |
|
1st 7 |
26th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Won a maiden hurdle (2m, good) last year and was runner-up in all his three handicaps (1m7f-3m) in 2026; has joined the Skeltons for £22,000 and had wind surgery; now goes over fences and he has the scope and pedigree for it; Harry Skelton's chosen one from three stable runners. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
2-13 over hurdles; placed off mark 1lb higher than today's on consecutive appearances in June (2m, good/good to firm) but was below that form on latest hurdling start and has since performed poorly on the Flat; recently given a wind op; needs to get back in the groove. |
7/1 |

4th 2 (1) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Had placed form at 1m4f and 1m7f in France; 2-13 over hurdles for this yard but she hasn't looked well treated since her March win and wasn't at her best three weeks ago; her Flat mark doesn't look anything special either. |
9/1 |
|
4th 1 |
10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Not one to rely upon that heavily but scored off today's mark at Huntingdon (2m, good) in March and creditable third of 14 at Stratford (2m, good to firm) 11 days ago; features prominently in calculations. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Consistent sort who got off the mark up in distance at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) in February and has found one too good on all three occasions since, latest at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last month in first-time cheekpieces (retained); should be thereabouts. |
9/2 |

2nd 1 |
14th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Off the mark at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) in his third handicap, before two creditable efforts when finding one too good; the step up trip could eke out further progress, especially if the cheekpieces prove a positive addition. |
6/4 |
|
2nd 9 |
20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Off the mark at the third attempt in handicaps over C&D (good to soft) last month and 8l second to thriving winner at Sedgefield (2m4f, soft) subsequently; this unexposed 5yo is in good hands to continue to progress. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Tailed off on hurdle/yard debut last autumn but proved a different proposition after a break when successful back on the Flat at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in May, pulling over 4l clear and posting his peak RPR; evidently capable when fresh so being off for a further three months isn't a concern but he'll require another career best off 7lb higher. |
4/1 |

1st 4 (2) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up off 1lb higher at Kempton (1m, AW) last July but he's been well held in last two Flat runs and was tailed off on his hurdling/stable debut in September; overall record is now 0-15 and has something to prove on his return. |
16/1 |

29th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |

0-14 on the Flat but placed a few times, most recently when close second at Kempton (1m, AW; RPR 72) for John Gallagher in July; stamina might be an issue over hurdles but he joined a good stable for jumping career. |

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. |
