9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Easy winner at Chepstow (2m, good) last October and he took a big step back in right direction when seventh of 23 in the County at Cheltenham (2m1f, soft); missed the Scottish Champion Hurdle last month due to heavy ground; still only five and he's 1lb lower than in the County; major player. |

All three wins in maiden/novice company (2m and 2m3f) but not far away in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham (3m, good to soft) in December and soft ground was a query when pulled up in that grade since; below market expectations in his sole handicap (2m) but capable of better back at 2m5f. |

11th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Useful Flat racer who took pretty well to hurdling last season, winning at Warwick (soft) and Huntingdon (good to soft); pulled up in Aintree festival Grade 1 in April and made low-key reappearance on the Flat last month but can feature here if aided by first-time cheekpieces. |

11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 3 |

Fairly useful on Flat for Charlie Johnston, winning over about 1m2f at Ayr and Chester last term; also won two 2m juvenile hurdles early this year, by 20l on second occasion, but pulled up when 28-1 in the Aintree Grade 1 in April; off since and needs to be in peak Flat form. |

Fairly useful on Flat for Charlie Johnston and going the right way over hurdles, winning 2m juvenile races at Warwick (soft) and Huntingdon (good to soft) in recent months; stable jockey Paul O'Brien partnered him at Huntingdon but is on Filibustering this time. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Won at about 2m3f at Haydock (good to soft) and Bangor (good) and the combination of a deep race and the drop back to 2m found him out at Aintree; better expected here off what should still be a realistic mark. |
10/1 |

11th 9 |
10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 103y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
On a hat-trick after 2m3f wins at Haydock (good to soft) and Bangor (good) under Charlie Maggs last month but the fact he failed to win at around 2m on his first ten starts in Britain hardly boosts confidence in him for this drop back in trip. |

It was a Class 4 he won at Haydock (good to soft; raced prominently) but that was his first time over this far since arriving from France and he's a willing partner; Charlie Maggs rides again off a 5lb higher mark. |

2-5 over hurdles, the latter win gained on handicap debut at Sandown (2m, good to soft) in March; may still have more to offer but some of the others here have stronger form. |

10th 8 (2) |
11th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Unexposed on the Flat and he scored on handicap debut when winning the Student Derby at Curragh (1m2f, good) for Andrew Slattery just under a year ago; largely campaigned over hurdles for this yard and he won at Plumpton (soft) and Sandown (also 2m, good to soft) in February/March under Conor O'Farrell; turned over at odds-on in a three-runner Plumpton handicap when last seen in April but far from ruled out on this Flat return. |
9/1 |

3rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 114y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Good-ground Flat winner who is improving over hurdles; won easily here on soft and did well to follow up in a steadily run race at Sandown (again 2m; good to soft); he's now 2-2 in the hood and probably still on a fair mark despite latest 5lb rise; the step up in trip is the grey area. |

2-3 over hurdles in France last year but didn't fire on any of three British starts in February/March; had wind surgery during summer and may yet come good for Harry Derham but riding arrangements suggest he's not the stable's main hope today; cheekpieces removed after one use. |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won over hurdles and showed clear promise over fences in France last season; unplaced in four handicap hurdles for new stable in Britain this term but significant positives can be drawn from his fourth at Newbury (2m4f, soft) last time and he continues to slip down the weights. |
10/1 |

17th Feb 2026 2m 4f 118y Class 4 |

Did well in France, winning over hurdles and competitive as a chaser; has yet to get anything going over hurdles for current yard (hooded last twice) but on good or good to soft and getting back on the mud could make a difference. |

9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |

On a losing run but was perhaps ridden too aggressively (in a visor) when pulled up in 2m4f Wincanton handicap hurdle in January; yard is going really well so this C&D winner could bounce back off a reduced mark with headgear now dispensed with. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 179y Class 4 |

Four wins divided between the Flat and hurdling; didn't run too badly in a first-time visor at Cheltenham (2m1f, good to soft) but may have been flattered by how that race panned out (soon led); others perhaps safer. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |

In the reapplied blinkers he beat a fair yardstick at Huntingdon just before Christmas (2m, good to soft) but no shows since then, in a visor and blinkers; looks risky with cheekpieces now turned to. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |

Got off to a flyer when winning two of his first three starts over hurdles in 2024; has drawn a blank since but he's on a reduced mark and wasn't beaten far when fourth at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) three weeks; has possibilities if he can build on that and he's in the mix. |

Winning hurdler who remains a maiden over fences after seven attempts, making the frame on all six completed attempts but without suggesting she's particularly well treated; back in trip but likely needs to find more off current mark to get her head in front. |

Winning hurdler who has finished runner-up in four of her six races as a chaser; fell at the 14th fence when upped to 3m1f at Wincanton (soft) last month but was travelling well at the time and she still has potential in this sphere; in the mix. |

Refused to race on last visit here when due to contest a handicap hurdle in October; won over an extended 1m3f and 2m back on the Flat this month, scoring by 19l last week at Nottingham when 2lb well in under a penalty; that was an apprentice race so has no penalty. |

Reluctant at the start on a few occasions over hurdles in recent times, refusing to jump away on one occasion; has been fine at the stalls in two runs back on the Flat, though, and like Free World is well treated under a penalty following an easy win last Tuesday. |
