30th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Progressive 3yo for William Haggas in 2024, winning twice over 1m2f on good to firm; hasn't reached those heights since and was tailed off at Killarney on hurdles/stable debut; hood worn that day now left off. |
50/1 |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
11st 12lb |
One of three for trainer; progressive 3yo on Flat for William Haggas in 2024, winning twice over 1m2f on good to firm; hasn't reached those heights since, including in latest two starts for Owen Burrows; purchased for 16,000gns in October and goes hurdling now in new headgear. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Progressive 3yo who ended that season with an excellent Goodwood win (1m2f, good to firm) in a strong handicap; topsy-turvy this year and never in the hunt on yard debut at Newbury following wind surgery but good to soft ground probably wasn't ideal; worth a good look off favourable mark. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Front-runner who's well suited by a stiff 1m2f, winning twice last summer and going close over C&D in the autumn off tonight's mark; soon gave way once headed on her recent AW comeback from eight months off and needs to improve a lot on that. |
16/1 |

8th 5 (8) |
29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Twice made all on turf (1m2f, good) last July but has been off for eight months and was well held in one previous go on the AW (Tapeta), while she remains 8lb above her last winning mark; market useful; stable also runs Crystal Mariner. |
14/1 |

6th 4 (8) |
24th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Improving in July, making all in good style at Sandown and Leicester (both 1m2f, good); creditable third over C&D (good to soft) last month and better still when beaten a head at Salisbury (1m2f, good) latest; her two runs on soft/heavy were offputting, albeit last season. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Not at his best in recent outings and still 6lb higher than for his successful reappearance at Goodwood (1m2f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in May; others preferred. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Returned from winter break with an impressive Goodwood win (1m2f, good) in May, when overcoming trouble in running; has had plausible reasons for defeats since and could well have more to offer back with what look ideal conditions. |
5/1 |

27th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Came up short in handicaps at major festivals the last twice; respectable form otherwise this term, winning at Goodwood then close second at Epsom; ran well here in sole AW attempt; not dismissed at this level. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Seven-race maiden who was beaten a head when 2-7 in a novice at Bath (1m2f, good to soft) last month; third of six in a handicap at Salisbury (1m2f, good) next time but he was below his best at Nottingham (8.5f, good; first-time cheekpieces) eight days ago; steps back up trip with headgear removed for his AW debut. |
7/2 |

15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Six-race maiden who was turned over at 2-7 in a novice at Bath (1m2f, good to soft) two starts ago, when beaten into second; however, he's since been third of six in a handicap at Salisbury (1m2f, good) and that form gives him leading claims; it's possible first-time cheekpieces will be a plus. |
7/2 |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Lightly raced 3yo with some good efforts in novice and maiden events (1m and 1m2f), just run out of a Bath event (good to soft) 19 days ago; probably needs a bit more off this mark now handicapping but that's possible. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Fairly useful on the Flat when based with Ed Walker; well beaten on stable/hurdle debut in January but his next two runs were much more encouraging, and there is still hope that more of his Flat ability can be transferred to this discipline. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Useful on the Flat, of similar ability to Road To Wembley; made hurdle debut in a race won by Sober Glory, after which he had wind surgery; chased home a promising horse at Kempton and shouldn't be far away. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Had wind surgery since finishing tailed off in Newbury novice hurdle for new yard; retains potential under this code, having proved fairly useful on the Flat. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
His last win was two years ago but he's been placed in all three runs this season including close calls over C&D (good to firm) and at Ffos Las (1m2f, good); remains well handicapped on his old form and he should make another bold bid. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 (8) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Losing run is mounting up but on a good mark and placed in his last two races (1m2f); goes on all ground; hard to rule out. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 9 (8) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
C&D winner whose losing run is up to 17 but he had dropped 14lb below his last winning mark when beaten less than a length into third of seven here four weeks ago; respected if building on that. |
11/2 |
