25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 178y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Fairly useful Flat racer; runner-up on first three hurdle starts (all 2m) before cruising clear in four-runner Ascot maiden (2m3f, good) last month; could easily have more improvement to come in handicap hurdles; interesting. |

1st 2 |
29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 63y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Bumper winner who then won two Flat handicaps for Ralph Beckett; he's getting there over hurdles judged on his near miss at Taunton (2m, good) and this longer trip could trigger the improvement he'll need to trouble West Hill Verde. |

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

Bumper winner who then won two handicaps on the Flat for Ralph Beckett, the latest at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) in October; runner-up on both starts over hurdles, last time finishing 10l second at Kempton (2m, good; third has won since); contender. |

17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
4yo who has failed to progress this year but he got back on track with a nose second of six to High Point over C&D (good to soft) three weeks ago; there's every chance he'll be thereabouts once more. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Progressive in handicaps last term; hasn't continued in the same vein during a fairly light 2025 campaign but faced a tough task in the Old Borough Cup here most recently; this is easier. |

9th 15 (6) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Won two 3yo handicaps last spring (1m4f, soft) and ran well in defeat on first two starts this season (2m, good/AW); disappointing at Ascot (2m, good) last time but holds each-way possibilities if back on song. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
An improved performer this year, including when she emerged on top in good scraps for a Listed race at Pontefract and Group 3 at Newmarket (both 1m4f on good; from Inis Mor last time); also ran well for sixth in a hot German Group 1 in between but today's race looks another tough assignment. |
20/1 |
|
1st 3 (12) |
25th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Unraced at two; an improved performer this year, as befits her stature, and she swept to the front before holding on well in Pontefract Listed race (1m4f, good) in June; no disgrace when sixth in a Munich Group 1 two months ago, and that form was given a strong boost when the first and third fought out a hectic finish to this month's Irish Champion stakes; major player. |
7/1 |
|
1st 4 (7) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Has posted good efforts in 1m4f Listed event at Goodwood and 1m3f Group 3 at Carlisle this term, maintaining her solid record and steadily progressive RPRs; new rating gives her a leading chance in this field. |

19th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 2y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Record of 2-5 for new yard features 5l defeat of Maxident at Goodwood (2m, soft) that was his first success beyond middle distances; ran well behind easy winner in notable handicap at Haydock (1m6f, heavy) most recently; in the mix, assuming he stays the new trip. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Very hit and miss across his four starts this season and well beaten at York (2m, good) last month; however, he's posted two comfortable wins in small fields this term (1m4f/2m, good/soft) and this two-time course winner is not written off with the forecast slow ground in his favour. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 26y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Made all at Yarmouth (11.5f, soft) in June (final start for Ross Burdon) but has failed to beat a rival in three starts for Iain Jardine; the return to a softer surface may help but could only consider if lively in the betting. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
On a long losing sequence, being 0-21 since debut win; however, beat all bar a subsequent scorer last time, over 1m6f at Chester, and appears to hold a fighting chance off the same mark, which is 22lb lower than his peak one. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 2 (8) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 87y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
No wins since an odds-on debut success for Karl Burke back in 2023; well handicapped on his old form but he's been well held in his last three runs including over 1m6f at York (good) two weeks ago; down the list. |
9/1 |

4th 4 (4) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
No wins since an odds-on debut success for Karl Burke back in 2023 but he's run with credit on plenty of occasions; that wasn't the case at Chester last time, however, and on balance he's opposable despite this career-low mark. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Very much enjoyed the run of the race when making all over 1m6f here 13 days ago; may not have the same luxury this time, but is just 3lb higher and remains unexposed in staying handicaps on the AW. |
11/4 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Useful jumper; 25lb higher when joining this yard and, after five defeats at big prices, he's run well to finish third at Southwell (1m4f) and Wolverhampton (1m6f) in last two starts; should go well again and he could be a big factor if he gets a good pace. |
9/2 |

3rd 5 (7) |
3rd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Useful jumper; 25lb higher when joining this yard and, after five defeats at big prices, the money came for him at Southwell 17 days ago (1m4f); fared better in third on that occasion and he's handicapped to go well. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Bolted up at Chester (1m6f, heavy) last September and he's 1lb lower here; however, this year's form hasn't come up to scratch and he needs to turn things around. |
12/1 |
|
7th 7 (2) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Made all twice last season, latterly in good style over 1m6f here (heavy) in September; just 1lb higher today after lesser shows this term but the latest was a step back in the right direction and he stays 2m; case can be made. |
6/1 |

4th 2 (8) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made all in a big field here (2m) last July and he's on a handy mark on last season's best efforts; however, he's been well beaten on both outings this year and needs to turn things around. |
