22nd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
9yo who wasn't at his best in the summer, following some time off, but his fifth of 16 at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) in July last time was a step back in the right direction and he continues to edge down the weights; his course form figures read 212 and he could be a contender back here. |
5/1 |

5th 4 |
24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
In good form in the autumn, most notably when winning in first-time visor at Stratford (2m6f, good), but failed to build upon a satisfactory reappearance run when well beaten back at Stratford last month (wore cheekpieces); goes without headgear here; has a point to prove. |
16/1 |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Returned to form in the autumn, landing a deserved C&D success in October and running well in defeat on two subsequent starts up to around 3m; remains on a tough mark but should be all the sharper for this month's reappearance. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 100y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Highly progressive for new yard this season and has won handicaps on her last four hurdle starts (2m7f-3m1f, good-soft), most recently in comfortable fashion at Ludlow last month; this is a much tougher test of her credentials but it remains to be seen where her limitations now lie. |
9/1 |

1st 4 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 174y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
3-7 for new stable since last summer, with one win gained over C&D (good) and the latest at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) last month; this race is more competitive but she might still be on the upgrade. |
9/2 |
|
1st 2 |
26th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won on yielding ground in Ireland but her two hurdle wins (2m7f and 3m) in October were both on good ground and good to soft is probably as slow as she wants it; fell on her return to fences before Christmas and needs to justify a career-high mark, 7lb higher than her latest win. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
0-13 over hurdles and he was tailed off in a minor handicap at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) when last seen in June; can only be watched now switched to the Flat after 104 days off. |

7th 3 |
23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
0-12 over hurdles but returned to form with creditable second of ten at Worcester (2m, good) this month, after a break; remains on a good mark; major player if in similar mood again. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 8 |
11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Runner-up over C&D on final start for Nicky Henderson last May, and again on first start for this trainer (6-4 favourite) the following month; badly out of sorts since and remains winless; handicap mark has plummeted accordingly; clear risks attached. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Has regressed since landing a C&D event off 6lb higher in September last year and has suffered heavy defeats on both starts since returning from a break; plenty to prove at present and the first-time visor needs to have a positive effect. |
10/1 |
|
6th 10 |
1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Resumed winning ways at Newton Abbot (3m2f) last September but below par all three subsequent runs, beating one in a 3m2f Warwick handicap four weeks ago; needs to take a big step forward. |
20/1 |
|
7th 5 |
3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Absent since two below-par runs in November but returned from a break to win five-runner contest at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) in September, and is now back on the same mark; seems best on good ground but once won a point on soft; can't be ruled out. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Stopped too quickly at Cartmel latest (2m6f, good to soft) for either the 4lb rise for her previous Newton Abbot success (3m2f, good) or the quirky course to seem the issue; step back up in trip is a plus, but questions to answer again; cheekpieces discarded. |
8/1 |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Kept on well for narrow success at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) this month, opening her hurdling account at the eighth attempt; will be fine on the forecast slower ground and further progress is possible if combination of drop back in trip and first-time cheekpieces has positive effect. |
5/2 |

4th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Third in a mares' bumper here (good) on debut last year; unable to improve on that level of form but was third over hurdles at Chepstow (2m3f, heavy) in January; below that level twice since; half-sister to a 3m winner, so this longer trip might see her find some improvement. |

Not as far out of the weights as when an outpaced fifth on this month's handicap debut, and the longer trip may prove a plus; still a lot to find with the best of these, however; cheekpieces already discarded. |
50/1 |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |

Limited promise thus far and finds herself 11lb out of the weights for handicap debut; cheekpieces added. |
33/1 |
