10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 103y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Second 2m novice hurdle success when comfortably seeing off 11 rivals at Huntingdon 23 days ago; third in a 2m Kempton race (again on good) which has worked out well in his sole handicap; respected for a stable which has had a few run well in this in recent years. |

18th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won at Stratford (2m, good to soft) in October on second hurdle start and, unlike Dream Diamond, has kept his form in his three starts since, including on good ground; leading form claims. |

3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Won at Stratford (2m, good to soft) in October on second hurdle start; similar form in defeat since in warm novice hurdle at Kempton (2m, good) and handicap at Kempton (2m, good); up in trip on different ground but showed promise in a 3m point on heavy; leading form claims under a 7lb penalty. |

29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 123y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Brother to high-class Envoi Allen; all starts on softer than good; heavy-ground bumper winner who has not made a serious impact in his four hurdle races (bled from the nose on first two occasions) but showed his best form when beaten about 19l at Taunton (2m3f) on last two outings; looks set to face very different ground here but the step up in trip and handicap debut could reveal him in a new light. |
3/1 |

3rd 8 |
3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Heavy-ground bumper winner who took a step forward when eighth of 13 over C&D (good to soft) last month on his third hurdle start; this race isn't so deep and he's a place contender, but he needs something extra if he's to come out on top. |
12/1 |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Began 2024 with two very promising runs (one win) in heavy-ground Exeter bumpers but wasn't seen again until two disappointing hurdle runs this autumn (2m/2m4f; bled from the nose both times); in good hands and still has plenty of time to get career back on track but comes with obvious risk. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Not disgraced in useful Newbury maiden on Flat debut in 2023 but wasn't seen again until pulled up (albeit on heavy ground) over hurdles for new stable six weeks ago. |

3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
His dam was useful on the Flat and this 6yo showed some ability for Alan King in May 2023 on his sole Flat start; however, absent since (wind/gelding operations in interim) and he's probably best watched on his hurdle and stable debut; wears a first-time tongue-tie. |

12th Jul 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Showed some promise with his sixth of 14, albeit beaten about 13l, in Newbury maiden (1m2f) eight weeks ago; looked green and should improve for the experience; out of an AW winner. |

3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Displayed signs of ability in bumpers and also on hurdle debut in September 2022; however, this 11yo has been absent since and a watching brief is probably the best option on his return to action. |
66/1 |

3rd 5 |
16th Sep 2022 Good To Soft 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
in rear, pushed along and headway from 3 out, went modest third before 2 out, ridden approaching last, no match for first two |
