29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 146y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
5-10 over hurdles, including wins under Freddie Keighley at Fontwell (2m1f) and Taunton (2m3f, good) on two of his last three outings; respected even though he's never raced over this far (he worked his way to the front late on for that 2m3f win) and has been raised another 5lb. |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Useful Flat stayer who won his first three starts over hurdles (2m-2m1f) last summer but he's been held back in this sphere in last three runs; mark is falling and he is still unexposed over hurdles but needs to raise his game back in trip; all of his hurdle wins have been on good but he seems versatile ground-wise. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won a maiden hurdle at Southwell (2m, good to soft) last February and he returned to form when third at Lingfield (2m3f, soft) in January; pulled up at Southwell (2m4f, good) since but not written off for a trainer who has a good recent record in this race; one of two for the yard. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |

Won his maiden here 13 months ago when making all; twice placed in four subsequent handicaps but does look a tad high in the ratings. |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Made all in Southwell maiden (2m, good to soft) last February but unable to build on that performance in three autumn handicaps (2m-2m4f), albeit his penultimate run was fairly good; reportedly not suited by soft, heavy in places ground when pulled up last time; has a point to prove. |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Both wins over hurdles came at Fontwell; having just her second go over fences when solid sixth in well-contested mares' handicap at Cheltenham (about 2m4f, good to soft) in December; disappointed at Huntingdon over further next time but had wind surgery shortly afterwards and might be worth another chance dropped back in trip. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Almost denied Easy To Follow in a heavy-ground hurdle once, but best figures win or lose have been returned on no worse than the good to soft of last month's tidy 5l sixth in a Cheltenham mares' 0-125; still early days for her as a chaser, appears to jump fine and holds strong claims. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Modest form in six Flat runs and he's 0-11 over hurdles; beaten 11l when fifth at Taunton (2m, good; 15-8 favourite) in March but he went close there on his penultimate run and has claims if he recapture that form. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |

Remains winless after 16 races (six Flat, ten over hurdles) but the last four, latest over C&D, all suggest a major role today. |

3rd 9 |
9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |

Remains winless but he was running well (still close up) when falling two out in 2m Wincanton handicap in January; he ought to be thereabouts off an unchanged mark. |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Placed on Irish point debut in 2024; well held in a bumper and maiden hurdle in next two runs but he found plenty of progress when second of 13 at Worcester (2m, good to soft) last month; split the two market leaders in that race and he's an interesting contender now switched to a handicap. |
2/1 |

15th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Placed on Irish point debut in 2024 but made underwhelming rules debut in a bumper in May and was just a respectable third of five over hurdles at Stratford (2m, good to firm) in July; can improve but needs to. |
11/2 |

3rd 3 |
13th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |

Third in an Irish point in April 2024; sold the following month and had wind surgery at turn of the year, before a poor last of five when favourite for a bumper at Warwick (2m, good; set steady pace) nine weeks ago when a respiratory noise was reported; same equipment as last time; some concern after that display. |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Ran okay when seventh in this last year and he reappeared with a win at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to soft) in October; however, his subsequent form has been mixed (fences/hurdles) and Top Jimmy looks the yard's chief hope. |
33/1 |
|
7th 4 |
12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 104y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Made a winning reappearance in Newton Abbot handicap hurdle (2m1f, good to soft) in October; switched to fences subsequently, matching his peak RPR over timber when fourth in 2m3f Exeter novice handicap (good to soft) five weeks ago; won his previous outing on heavy. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Two wins during his novice campaign included a handicap (2m, soft); 0-5 last season but ran well at the weights behind Constitution Hill at Cheltenham in January and comfortably regained the winning thread on his reappearance at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to soft) three weeks ago; up 4lb but he's bred for fences and looks a player on debut in this sphere. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won good-ground maiden and novice hurdles last spring but he hasn't fired in handicaps, including in a tongue-tie on his last two starts and with added cheekpieces (now swapped for a visor) at Plumpton a fortnight ago; handicapper is trying to help but others look safer. |
14/1 |

5th 2 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won good-ground maiden (C&D) and novice hurdles last spring but he ran poorly on handicap debut here in between and his form at this level since hasn't borne much fruit (first-time tongue-tie latest, blinkers now added); however, he may well do better on second run back from a break with Sam Twiston-Davies taking over. |
6/1 |

8th 2 |
9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
French recruit who scored twice (at around 2m) for his current yard last spring; not discredited when fourth at Newton Abbot on his return in October but he came in last of seven in 2m Exeter handicap the following month; needs to take a big step forward in a first-time tongue tie. |

10th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |

Got off the mark on his fifth attempt over fences, over C&D (good) last month; nowhere near that level here (2m3f, good) eight days later but maybe he can return to form back to his winning distance. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |

6th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |

Lengthy breaks are a feature in his profile; beaten at least 10l in all four runs over fences (2m5f-3m1f) and brought up the rear last time at Plumpton; unconvincing. |

Not obviously well treated judged on what he produced in his two handicap hurdles in the spring but this point runner-up and novice hurdle winner (2m, good) represents a trainer who has a much better strike-rate with chasers than hurdlers; possible improver now going over fences. |
