5th 7 (7) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Has three wins on AW, including two here (one over C&D); tends to race freely and needs to settle better to fulfil his potential; second over hurdles two weeks ago. |
8/1 |

2nd 4 |
7th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 111y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Gained a third win on the AW in February (1m6f) but regressed in his last four starts; 0-6 as a hurdler and returns to this discipline for the first time since pulled up in a handicap last summer for Chris Grant; hardly solid but this is a poor race. |
100/30 |

Successful three times (1m3f, 1m4f and 1m6f) this January/February, with the last two wins at this track; way below form on last two outings (headstrong on Saturday) but he has bounced back before. |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Now at the veteran stage but has won five times and been placed on nine occasions around here; twice finished runner-up in similar events over C&D at the start of the year and another big effort seems likely. |
5/2 |
|
8th 7 (2) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Six-time Tapeta winner who has finished runner-up in classified events at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in his last two starts; still looks feasibly treated back in a handicap and he's a big player if he can transfer his form back to Polytrack. |
7/2 |

2nd 4 (6) |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Not the easiest and plenty of short-priced defeats to his name but he won at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month and was a creditable third in another classified event at Lingfield (1m2f) three weeks ago; remains unexposed on turf and he needs a close look back in this sphere. |
4/1 |

3rd 1 (6) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Not the easiest and plenty of short-priced defeats to his name but justified good support when under Billy Loughnane for the first time at Wolverhampton (4-7 for the yard) last Monday; has only run once on Polytrack but will rightly be popular under a penalty. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Best of three hurdle runs for new stable this season when second of five in soft-ground Leicester seller (2m4f) in December; reverts to this code after going close off his basement Flat mark three weeks ago but others have more compelling claims; first ride under rules for Elizabeth Feakes. |

2nd 8 (2) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
This season's hurdling form for Fergal O'Brien was uninspiring and he was safely held when fourth in C&D classified race on Flat return in January; difficult to enthuse over. |
14/1 |

4th 1 (6) |
26th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

Triple hurdle winner but his last success was in 2023 and he was well held at Taunton last Saturday; now returns to the Flat for the first time in 16 months and he's 1-24 in this sphere; opposable. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Front-runner who came second twice at Bath (11.6f/1m2f, firm) last month; subsequent lesser effort there is probably best overlooked (slowly away after anticipating start), and she can give this a good shot. |
4/1 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
In-form mare whose record at Bath features wins in 2024/2025 and a couple of second-place finishes (over 11.6f/1m2f) since returned to turf from AW, the penultimate occasion behind Moon Over The Sea; weighted to reverse the placings; good chance. |
3/1 |

2nd 7 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Below her best on the AW this winter but she returned to some form when runner-up here at around 1m4f on Monday; that was her first start for 77 days and this dual course winner should have no issue with the drop back in trip. |

26th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
13-race maiden but he returned from a short break with a second in a C&D classified event (33-1) ten days ago; was no match for the winner but he kept on well in the closing stages and he's still unexposed at this trip; dangerous. |

2nd 8 (1) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

12-race maiden who has yet to be placed and he's failed to beat a rival here (2m/1m4f) in his last two starts; no appeal. |

12th 10 (7) |
4th Nov 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

0-11 under rules; best effort when fourth of nine at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) in August, but has blown hot and cold in three starts over 8.6f/16.5f here since; tongue-tie given a go. |

Five-time Flat winner who landed a novice hurdle last March; it's been slim pickings in the main since and he was soundly beaten on his recent stable debut at Southwell; however, he was sent off the 4-1 joint-favourite and it will be interesting to see if his backers return. |

25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |

13th 9 (4) |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Kept to AW in the main nowadays and winless since last March; however, he ran well last August when he last tackled turf and the return of cheekpieces (replacing blinkers) may well be in his favour; also has a first-time tongue-tie; could be involved. |

Went close on handicap debut at Lingfield (1m1f, good) last July but she's been up and down since and was a remote sixth behind Knight Of Magic (1m3f) at Southwell last time; now 0-9 and others are more convincing. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Has improved since going handicapping, best when second over 1m2f on turf here in July; disappointing on last two starts (tried in cheekpieces last time); a bit to prove now. |

9th 5 (10) |
12th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Unexposed filly who was nicely clear of the third (Estimaid) when close second to odds-on favourite on handicap debut here (1m1f, good) last month; didn't fire at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) two weeks ago but will be a danger to all if back on song in first-time cheekpieces. |
