6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Front-runner who bids to complete a Fakenham hat-trick after two wide-margin wins in two-finisher contests this year (3m5f, soft/3m, good to soft); the value of his form is tricky to evaluate and today's faster ground may not be ideal but, nevertheless, another bold bid seems likely. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Saw out the longer trip well to get off the mark here (3m5f, soft) four weeks ago; 6lb higher but has obvious claims and looks the one to beat. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Four good-ground chase wins this year, the latest from the front at Worcester (2m7f) last month; didn't fire at Perth a fortnight ago, though, and needs to kick on again to overcome this mark. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Made all for clearcut success at Worcester (2m7f,) last month and has now won four good-ground chases this year; should also be suited by this right-handed track but latest 6lb rise might leave him vulnerable. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 5f 24y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Tailed off two runs back but the season had started okay given the company he was in and it was a solid enough run to be beaten 6l last time at Fontwell (3m2f, soft); same career-low mark here and firmly in the reckoning. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Makes seasonal debut from a tempting mark and won't fail through lack of stamina but looked out of sorts on both outings at the start of this year and has done all his winning on soft ground; needs combination of wind surgery and first-time tongue-tie to prompt a revival. |

25th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Gained last two wins over fences; not in the best of form since joining this yard in the spring and stable's other runner, Mi Sueno, looks to hold a better chance. |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Gained last two wins over fences; has refused to race; ties in with two of today's rivals on C&D form last time (third start for new yard) but isn't certain to back up that effort, having become unreliable. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 5f 24y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Thorough stayer but he was a remote third in this 12 months ago and nowhere near his best this campaign; an 11yo now and age seems to be catching up. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Began this year with some respectable efforts, most notably when second in first-time blinkers at Chepstow (3m6f, good); should be fine on the slower ground here but has fitness to prove after 224-day break and others appeal more; cheekpieces refitted. |

3rd 4 |
9th Apr 2025 Good To Firm 3m 4f 85y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
2lb out of the weights; he was 3lb wrong and didn't jump that well but stuck to his task to be second at Chepstow (3m6f, good) in the first-time blinkers 20 days ago; thereabouts with something similar. |
