1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Gained a first win in this sphere in five-runner handicap at Fakenham (2m) when last seen in January; up 3lb but has gone well fresh, so not ruled out after a break. |

18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Flat winner but 0-11 as a hurdler and can race freely; has shown he can be competitive off even higher marks but has to bounce back from two below-par efforts. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Improved for the switch to 2m good-ground handicaps, looking well placed to defy a 9lb hike for his earlier Stratford success when unseating at the last at Plumpton latest; up 1lb more but case is obvious. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
On the up since sent into handicaps and he readily landed 11-runner event at Stratford (2m) 22 days ago, forging clear from final flight; hiked up 9lb but still merits serious consideration. |

28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Lightly raced 7yo who has advanced his form since sent handicapping, runner-up (over 2m) at Fakenham and Plumpton this year; can go well again nudged up 1lb. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
1-16 over hurdles, having gained a hard-fought course win (2m6f, good) in May; evidently well suited by this track but will need to find hidden reserves to overcome a 4lb higher mark on this chasing debut. |
12/1 |

2nd 12 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Off the mark at the 15th attempt over hurdles, over C&D (good) last month; 4lb higher but should give a good account in her follow-up bid. |
6/1 |

1st 12 |
25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Gave good account when third at Plumpton (2m4f, good) last month but wasn't in quite the same form at Fakenham three weeks ago and is now 0-14 over hurdles; 4lb out of the weights; not the percentage call. |

11st 1lb |
Scored at Uttoxeter (2m) last May but this veteran has not proved easy to catch right since, last of ten on the Flat at Salisbury 17 days ago. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Only a modest hurdles winner for current yard and isn't convincing on his 2026 form in that sphere; not seen on Flat since 2021; others preferred. |
25/1 |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
AW Flat winner; only win in 14 runs over hurdles was off this mark over C&D last May (good) when wearing a hood for the first time (as well as cheekpieces); hasn't done quite as well since, with today's combination of headgear the last twice. |

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. |
