2nd 1 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Hasn't quite built on a promising bumper debut since going over hurdles, including in a couple of handicaps; however, his recent 17l third when attracting support at Wincanton (2m4f, good) was more encouraging; easing in the weights and one to consider in a modest contest. |

3rd 2 |
1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Lightly raced 6yo but he has form figures of 6666 over hurdles and was beaten 34l on handicap debut at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) in February; dropped 3lb but he needs a transformation after a short break. |
12/1 |

6th 10 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Third in sole bumper (good) and has also shown ability when sixth (albeit without threatening) on all three hurdle starts (1m7f-2m3f, good/soft); this half-brother to the useful Ahorsewithnoname could have more to offer now moving into handicaps; in calculations, especially if strong in betting. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Impressed when winning readily on debut at Chepstow (good) for Toby Bulgin in October; tailed off (reportedly stopped quickly) when upped to Listed level at Ascot (soft) for new stable in December but was given a wind op afterwards; back in calmer waters and on better ground here; big player if his problems are behind him. |

12th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 11y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
First foal out of an unraced dam who was out of a 2m1f-2m5f hurdle/chase winner; trainer won a Cheltenham bumper in April with a newcomer who is now with Willie Mullins; definitely needs checking in the betting. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 209y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Favourite in both his bumpers, taking second at Chepstow (good) before going one better at Fakenham (soft); remains open to improvement but has plenty to find on the figures and Harry Skelton rides stablemate Risky Obsession. |
25/1 |

1st 2 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won his Irish point on heavy ground and the second has won over hurdles; beaten favourite in what's proved a modest bumper at Chepstow in October but that was still an encouraging run with a view to the future (well related). |
11/10 |

12th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 11y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Won his Irish point on heavy ground and by a length from Hot To Go who has since joined the Twiston-Davies outfit for £165,000 (yet to race for that yard); this 4yo has to be of interest. |

31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Not really bred for this huge rise in trip but the form of his third in a 3m point has worked out well so there's hope that he could display improvement on this handicap debut; market needs checking. |
11/2 |
|
6th 5 |
26th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
His third in an Irish point last February was particularly strong form, with plenty of winners emerging from the race; however, he's been disappointing in a bumper and over hurdles on varying ground and looks one for further down the road. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Modest form in bumpers (for Ed De Giles) and well held in three 2m maiden hurdles this year, beating one at Newbury last month; tongue tied for his handicap debut with much better required. |
11/1 |
|
7th 5 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Holds weak claims on bumper and hurdles form; should find handicaps more suitable shortly. |

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

Showed a little promise in bumpers for Ed de Giles; well beaten at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft; 50-1) on hurdles debut; more needed. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Maiden who has form figures of 0FP706 over hurdles and was a remote fifth at a big prices on his recent chase debut at Worcester (2m4f, good); has a lot to prove and he needs a tongue-tie to make a big difference. |
33/1 |
|
5th 6 |
11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Unplaced all six hurdle runs, most recently when beaten about 28l in Chepstow handicap (2m, good to soft) in March, but his Irish point second last spring offers a ray of hope on this chasing debut. |
33/1 |
|
6th 3 |
26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 16y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Tailed off when 100-1 for last month's handicap hurdle debut here (2m3f, soft; raced too freely) but came second in good-ground Irish point last spring and was running well before falling in good-ground novice hurdle in the autumn; back on forecast decent ground today; no surprise if he features. |

Clear of the rest when beaten just a head in a 2m4f British point (good) in March and now with Paul Nicholls who fits a tongue-strap and has won this bumper five times in nine years. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Tamely dropped out of contention in valuable series final at Kelso (2m, good to soft) last month but posted good effort when second at Taunton (2m, heavy) two starts ago and has possibilities if able to replicate that form on the quicker surface here. |
9/2 |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Fourth in warm novice hurdle against males at Newbury (2m, good to soft) in January and runner-up to Beauty In The Park at Taunton (2m, heavy) next time, beaten just over 3l; she's 6lb better off with the winner on this handicap debut and could have a part to play in a first-time tongue-tie. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 7 |
3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 104y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
She's finished fourth on all four starts, most recently against males at Newbury (2m, good to soft) on her second hurdle start; back against mares today and might not be far away. |
