13th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 119y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Achieved little in a previous spell over hurdles/fences but was unlucky not to go 3-3 in points this year, his only defeat coming by a head on stable debut in April; needs to carry that improvement back to hurdles but this looks a winnable opportunity. |
9/4 |

3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Runner-up in a 3m point; best rules effort when a weakening fifth of eight over 3m here (11-2; first-time cheekpieces) in December; now 8lb lower, having failed to shine over fences at Sedgefield and Carlisle recently; monitor for the time being. |

3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Point runner-up (seven attempts in that sphere); lightly raced under rules and sent off just 9-2 for recent chase debut at Sedgefield (3m2f, good to soft); however, he was well beaten and needs to be an entirely different proposition in a first-time tongue-tie here. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Delivered on earlier promise when winning four-runner Fakenham maiden (2m, good) last month, his fifth start over hurdles; contests much deeper race on this handicap debut but probably still has potential; one to consider. |
4/1 |
|
1st 1 |
13th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Irish bumper winner who has finished second on two of his four hurdling starts for Olly Murphy, latterly in 18-runner Lingfield maiden (2m, soft) in January; below that form on heavy ground in February but this much quicker surface ought to suit him better; good chance. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Penultimate defeat was over fences; again only third when bidding for a four-timer over hurdles in a selling handicap at Newton Abbot where there were no excuses; still a likely contender if continuing his good work for new yard. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 1 |
28th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Hasn't taken to fences in two attempts, the first in May and most recently after completing a hat-trick over hurdles at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to firm) in August; drops into selling company and has strong claims back over hurdles despite being 3lb higher. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won four times over fences last term but was tailed off on his return to action here (2m, good) last month; switches back to hurdles for the first time in 12 months and needs to rediscover his mojo. |
8/1 |
|
5th 3 |
15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Has taken well to fences and is 4-8 in this sphere; returns from a break and this front-runner may be hard to pass if he is ready to roll. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Has taken well to fences and completed a three-timer at Catterick in January; resumed winning ways at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) last month and this front-runner may prove hard to peg back. |

8th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |

Poor maiden who came in only 11th in 2m Hexham novice when last seen out in May; others appeal much more. |

3rd May 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |

Quite promising 3yo on the Flat in 2022 but has struggled since, including on his five starts over hurdles, and he's hard to fancy. |

Not completely disgraced in two spring bumpers but well beaten at huge odds in two spins over hurdles; hard to recommend. |

21st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Beaten about 7l by the winner Newport when fifth of ten at 9-1 on last month's handicap debut at Musselburgh (1m7f, soft); improvement is needed but he's raced only five times and could take a step forward at some point. |
12/1 |

8th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |

Brought down early on his debut and hinted at promise, despite making mistakes, when fifth of seven in 2m Warwick juvenile ten months ago; this son of Roman Candle should do better. |

29th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
C&D maiden winner (October 2025); back in better form, runner-up at Market Rasen in July and bang there when third to Saint Polo over C&D (good to firm) latest; yet to win a handicap but likely to give her best. |
9/2 |

3rd 4 |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Only win was in a C&D maiden hurdle in October 2025 (good); fair second of four at Market Rasen last time (2m, good); not out of it. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 3 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Only win in 12 hurdle starts was a maiden; likes to crack on with things and probably went off a bit too hot when a well-held fourth at Cartmel (2m1f; after 99 days off); has another front-runner to deal with in Hello Sweety, but the ability is there to win off this mark. |
