16th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |

Form dipped last time when bidding for a hurdles hat-trick; won his last Flat attempt but that was on turf in autumn 2024; AW record is 0-7. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Fair Flat racer who came good over hurdles at the fourth attempt when winning Fakenham maiden (2m, good) in April, but he jumped and ran poorly at Plumpton last month and needs to bounce back. |

Fair Flat racer who came good over hurdles at fourth attempt, digging deep to regain lead on run-in in Fakenham maiden (2m, good) in April; well held when fourth on handicap return in June, though, and needs more here. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Has been chasing, not beaten far when third at Worcester (2m, good) in September but rather disappointing over the same C&D last time; has four wins to his name over hurdles; not ruled out. |
6/1 |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
C&D winner just over a year ago and signs of a revival with two better runs returned here of late, including when not far behind Rocks Up Late and Alshadhian last month; player if reproducing those efforts on better terms. |

18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Longstanding maiden but has run some solid races in handicaps, including on her last four appearances (new yard on last two starts); handicap mark hasn't really gone anywhere so looks sure to be heavily involved. |
9/4 |
|

29th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Yet to win over hurdles (0-11) but shaped better than the bare form suggests when a rallying third at Stratford (2m, good; hood discarded) 11 days ago on second start for the stable and may have more to offer; worth considering with Theo Gillard back in the saddle. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
0-17 over hurdles but went close when runner-up at Market Rasen in January and again in a Cartmel seller in May; well below that level on both starts since, including when well held on the Flat 18 days ago; not ruled out if bouncing back. |
7/1 |
|
9th 13 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
1m AW winner for Tom Clover who has been mostly hurdling for this yard; went close in January and again in Cartmel seller on penultimate start; didn't shape with much promise in two turf handicaps (1m/1m2f) in between but his Flat mark has come down quite sharply. |
25/1 |
|
4th 5 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Still a maiden after 16 starts over hurdles, though he has plenty of placed form and looked set to score before being caught close home in a Cartmel seller (2m1f, good) 17 days ago; requires more back in handicap company but has solid place claims. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Belatedly opened his Flat turf account over C&D (good) last month; respectable third to Basilette here on firm since; course record reads 423213 so expect him to be in the shake-up. |
7/1 |

3rd 2 (5) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Belatedly opened his Flat turf account in similar event over C&D (good) last week, taking Bath record to 42321 and adding to his AW/hurdles wins; incurs 4lb penalty but defied this mark a couple of years ago; very solid chance. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Flat winner but 0-18 over hurdles and her thee runs this year have offered little encouragement; easy to look elsewhere. |

5th 7 |
3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
0-16 over hurdles with limitations well exposed, but last month's 25l third at Hereford can be marked up as she'd tried to make all (not her usual run style) off the back of a 170-day absence; place claims. |

13th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Returned from a break to register a third career success here (2m1f, good) last month, under Eleanor Williams; remains competitively treated with 3lb rise and capable of another bold showing if reproducing that performance. |
8/1 |
|
1st 4 |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Has a poor strike rate of 2-46 over hurdles, the last of those wins in January 2024; down to a career-low mark after an eight-month break and hard to fancy. |
6/1 |

7th 6 |
18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Made the frame twice in the spring (2m4f/2m5f) but was well beaten at Cartmel three months ago with no obvious excuse; just two wins from 45 attempts over hurdles and he's fully exposed. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
1-11 over hurdles and 0-4 as a chaser; runner-up in his first chase last November but hasn't kicked on and was well behind Alshadhian at Southwell last time. |
20/1 |
|
6th 3 |
9th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Kept on well for second on chase debut at Hereford (2m, good) in November but was pulled up on next outing and made low-key reappearance when third of five (probably only fourth best on merit) at Worcester (2m, good) last month; needs to up his game here. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
22nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won a 2m handicap hurdle here (good) in September 2024; pulled up in two of his four starts since but he was runner-up over fences at Hereford (2m, good) on his penultimate run; that form puts him in the picture and this unexposed chaser is not ruled out after another break. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Unplaced all nine runs in points and over hurdles but she has shown a glimmer of ability, and she finished ahead of two of today's rivals when fifth at Plumpton four weeks ago on her first outing for Fergal O'Brien, beaten only after a mistake two out; has since had wind surgery; quite interesting in first-time cheekpieces. |
5/1 |

5th 8 |
21st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
0-5 over hurdles when trained by Barry Brennan but the first of her two handicap runs this season was fairly respectable and it will be interesting to see what new trainer Fergal O'Brien can do with her. |
11/1 |
|
4th 5 |
21st Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Last month's 11l Worcester fifth (2m, good) represents her closest finish to date, but she didn't hit the line sufficiently hard to suggest further is required yet; tongue tie debuted there is retained. |

21st Mar 2024 Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |

7th Feb 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Minor promise in two Irish bumpers; 150-1 for British debut in a Listed mares' novice hurdle at Taunton (2m, good to soft) and not surprisingly finished a remote last; down in class but no solid claims. |

10st 2lb |
Gave good account when close fourth over C&D (good; also suited by soft) in November but was below that form at Taunton last month and is now 0-16 over hurdles; 1lb wrong; others preferred. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |

Made the frame twice (2m, soft/good) in spring 2024; now returns from a lengthy absence but he'll have possibilities if ready to roll. |
