2nd 5 (5) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Ran poorly last time, taking turf record to 0-6; broadly consistent on AW otherwise for current yard and he is 2-2 over C&D, the wins gained last autumn; 3-8 overall in this sphere; likely to be played late by Jamie Spencer (up for first time) and has possibilities back here. |
9/2 |

9th 8 (1) |
31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Headgear helped on AW last September-December, including for 1m6f/2m hat-trick; peak form was not repeated this year, including in two small fields this spring but they were at 1m3f/1m4f; returning to 2m should be a big help but none of his turf form (five races) approaches this mark. |
12/1 |

2nd 2 (4) |
1st May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Headgear helped last autumn, with him landing a hat-trick, including two over 2m round Southwell, latterly off a 4lb lower mark; solid effort there last Thursday, back from a few months off (1m3f), but he'll want a similarly strong pace this evening. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Looked out of sorts when pulled up in two hurdle races this spring (wore cheekpieces last time) and his best Flat form has been shown on Polytrack; others have much less to prove. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
2m AW Flat winner for Tom Ward; unexposed as a hurdler, best run when 13l third in a Hereford novice in March (2m3f, good; wore a hood); wasn't suited by the drop back to 2m when pulled up on handicap debut last time; cheekpieces now tried again (no improvement with them on the Flat). |
7/1 |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has taken time to come to hand over hurdles but his recent third over 2m4f here last month represented by far his best effort, appreciating the better ground; opening mark is no gift, but he remains capable of better in this sphere; interesting contender. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 208y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Better expected last time, after two poor efforts and back to the visor from cheekpieces, but ran below market expectations in finishing behind Merrijig; 2lb better off today but has work to do if he's to turn things round. |
3/1 |

4th 5 (4) |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
C&D win last August came off an 8lb higher mark; the booking of Billy Loughnane will draw some in, back to the visor worn for his two AW victories, but two poor efforts on turf lately will need overlooking. |
12/1 |
|
10th 4 (5) |
8th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Two 2m wins last year on good and faster ground; a return to hurdling stalled his progress and hasn't been at his best back on the Flat in his last two races, though 1m4f was on the short side after a break at Newbury; could stage a revival. |

19th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 133y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Well backed when winning here on the AW over 1m4f in December but never featured when beating only one rival home 19 days ago; 0-9 on turf and others are preferred. |
12/1 |

7th 3 (5) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

Well backed when winning over C&D in December off a 2lb lower mark (ridden by Myla Coppins); the odd solid effort since and he can't be ruled out. |
5/1 |

9th 3 (13) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Not the most consistent, but has won six times on the AW including five over 1m4f/1m5f at Lingfield; has run well here, but stall 13 isn't ideal even over this trip. |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |

Fair staying maiden; in decent nick over hurdles when last seen for Denis Hogan in May so she's no forlorn hope starting out for her new yard here. |
16/1 |
|
6th 16 |
12th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 166y |
10st 7lb |
Has placed form over 2m/2m1f on the level; favourite when runner-up in Limerick maiden hurdle in March; 2m5f was expected to suit last time, but it didn't; gets plenty of weight from her main rivals. |
6/1 |

16th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 100y |

Fair Flat maiden in Britain for James Horton; shaped okay on all three maiden hurdle runs over 2m, notably latest when (favourite) chasing home a ready winner here last month (soft); tries a longer trip here. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Veteran who hasn't won since 2023, stays a deal further and is on the downgrade now; patchy for his new yard this year and others make greater appeal back from seven weeks off. |
12/1 |
|
7th 1 (10) |
18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won his share in Ireland but has been on the downgrade for a while and has had three different trainers in the past nine months; however, he showed enough on the AW here last time to suggest he has each-way claims back up in trip and down another 2lb. |
12/1 |
|
6th 2 (4) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Losing run stretches back to May 2023 (hurdles); ended 2025 with some modest efforts for James Owen and fared little better when fifth of seven on his stable debut 11 weeks ago (2m, Polytrack); enough to prove. |

3rd Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Eight-race maiden; reached the frame in three maiden/novice events but he's been well held in three handicaps including in two runs for current yard; mark continues to fall but he weakened when upped to 2m at Kempton last time and others are preferred. |
14/1 |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Seven-race maiden who made no impression over 1m6f most recently; chance of winning depends on how well he reacts to first-time headgear and going up further in distance. |
12/1 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
5th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who has shown considerable promise; no threat on either start this season, most recently his handicap debut at Goodwood (1m4f) on final run for Raphael Freire; remains in same ownership; needs something extra now up in trip (not bred for it) but not written off. |
