21st Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 161y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Capable Flat performer who ran okay in maiden hurdles during the summer before losing her way; had wind surgery but others look safer. |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Fair Flat racer who made the frame in two of her first four hurdling starts for new stable this year, more notably when third over C&D (good to firm) in July; below form last time, though, and has a point to prove on this handicap hurdle debut. |

Fair Flat racer who has made the frame on two of her three hurdling starts for new stable this year, more notably when third at Stratford (2m, good to firm) in early July; well beaten when back on the Flat last time but still enters calculations here. |

4th Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
0-13 in points and 0-8 under rules; seemingly aided by headgear (cheekpieces then blinkers) when running well on both starts last month (2m3f/2m) but probably needs to find something extra in first-time visor here and is not entirely straightforward. |

10th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
0-18 over hurdles and not reliable but has twice gone close at Newton Abbot this summer, latterly when upped to 3m2f a fortnight ago; won't be far away if able to transfer that form to chasing at the first attempt; refitted cheekpieces replace blinkers. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
17-race maiden and not easy to predict; went close over C&D in June but has finished tailed off twice since, including in this headgear last time; tackles his longest trip to date and others are more persuasive. |

16-race maiden and not easy to predict but went close over C&D in June before finishing 54l behind Mi Sueno back here next time; needs the first-time blinkers to prove a positive addition. |

11st 3lb |
Only won over fences and he made it 0-10 over hurdles when beaten 12l at Kelso a month ago; however, was running fairly well in this discipline before that and certainly has each-way claims. |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Chase winner who is 0-9 over hurdles but he went close over C&D in May and has been placed at Bangor (2m) and Stratford (2m2f) in his last three starts; usually races prominently and has each-way claims again back up in trip. |
4/1 |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Battled on well for second over C&D before a heavier defeat at Stratford, where again runner-up but beaten 11l; only 1-20 overall and vulnerable to horses on handier marks but one of the more solid contenders nonetheless. |

9st 9lb |
Gained a first win of the season at Lingfield (1m1f) in August and in good form until beating one in 11.5f handicap at Windsor 15 days ago; needs to get back on track. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |

Fifth career win when 2l to the good over 1m1f at Lingfield in August (good to firm); just okay since then but he does stay this far and hard to dismiss. |
7/1 |

5th 4 (6) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |

Dual C&D winner (good to firm/firm) who was also successful at Lingfield (1m1f, good to firm) last month; backed that up with another solid effort at Epsom (1m2f, good to firm) 19 days ago and is now 1lb lower; steps back up in trip with good claims. |

Runner-up over 2m7f at Fakenham last month, since when she's finished 12l behind at Stratford; only 1-33 overall and others preferred for win purposes. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Got off the mark at the 27th attempt under rules at Exeter (2m, good to firm) last October; ran her best since when runner-up at Fakenham (2m7f, good) 26 days ago; her versatility distance-wise holds her in good stead but her win-record is off-putting. |

2nd 6 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Scored off today's mark in first-time cheekpieces at Exeter (2m, good to firm) in October and posted a good effort over 2m4f the following month but was pulled up three weeks ago, after a break, and her Flat pedigree raises doubts over the suitability of this trip. |

21st Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 161y Class 5 |

Flat winner over two years ago; the odd piece of form over hurdles offers hope but current wellbeing is a big issue. |

28th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
11st 8lb |
Placed off lowly mark over hurdles in first-time cheekpieces in March but is very inconsistent in that sphere and has not run on the Flat since 2023 (albeit did win over C&D in that year); not the percentage call. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
0-16 over hurdles but came good over fences at the third attempt, making most at Hereford (2m, good); jumped to her left that day but to her right when beaten 4l at Worcester since; still ran well and she's in the mix. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
0-16 over hurdles but came good over fences at third attempt, making virtually all at good pace at Hereford (2m, good) six weeks ago, despite jumping slightly left throughout; 4lb higher here but this switch to an anti-clockwise track looks the right move. |
5/1 |
