1st 10 |
20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Bumped into progressive winner when second on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) on New Year's Eve then went one better there (2m, soft) last month; could settle better now in a hood and he's in good hands to keep on improving; firmly in calculations. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Low-mileage 6yo who bumped into a big improver when clear second over C&D (good to soft) on last month's handicap debut; gets another chance off the same mark today and his penultimate run suggests he'll cope pretty well with the slower ground; respected. |

Comfortably held in a 3m Irish point and a 2m maiden hurdle at Ffos Las (good to soft); looks to be stable's second string. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
6yo who has been steadily progressive this season, winning at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) and Southwell (2m, good to soft) and posting a good third at Leicester (1m7f, heavy) last time; solid contender. |
5/1 |

3rd 5 |
20th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Progressive 6yo who won cosily at Southwell (2m, good to soft) last month and is now 2-4 in handicaps; 10lb higher here and not yet proven on ground slower than good to soft but still makes significant appeal. |
4/1 |

31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Unexposed 5yo who displayed significant improvement when clear third on handicap debut at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft) in February; not seen again since but open to further progress this season. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
His only win came over Fakenham's sharp 2m but his rallying third in first-time cheekpieces at Warwick last time (2m) suggested he probably needs further now; considered. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 2 |
20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won at Fakenham (2m, soft) in December on second handicap start and again ran well when third at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) last month; there's every chance he'll be in the mix in first-time cheekpieces. |
4/1 |

3rd 7 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Placed in points and off the mark over hurdles at just the fourth attempt when the clearcut winner of a 2m handicap at Fakenham (soft); this is a better race but he's likely to improve for going further this afternoon. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Fell mid-race on chasing debut last month; better 18 days later on second attempt in that sphere (albeit last of three) and peak hurdles efforts make this look an attractive mark, but they were all at about 2m and this sort of trip is totally new under rules for this 2024 Irish 3m point winner. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Fell mid-race here on chasing debut 18 days ago but twice ran well in today's headgear combination over hurdles last month and, with good ground suitable, has a good chance if able to transfer that form to fences. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |

Yet to take his form to any higher level since receiving a tongue tie and wind surgery, but he won't mind any drying ground as a hurdles winner on good and there's winning chasing prowess in the pedigree. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
On a hat-trick after justifying favouritism at Market Rasen and Ffos Las (both 2m); a combined rise of 16lb - 8lb for latest win - makes life more challenging as he moves into a Class 3 for the first time; however, he's improving and spearheads his yard's triple representation in this field. |
5/4 |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Rewarded strong market support when winning readily at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft) last month, on his second run after a layoff, and is now 2-8 over hurdles; 8lb higher here but still commands respect. |
11/8 |

Flat winner for Ralph Beckett in 2023 (1m4f, good); only hurdles win was a Leicester novice handicap (1m7f, heavy) in December 2024; lightly-raced and fair form since; a possible. |

Course winner last February; bang there when falling two out on handicap debut at Kempton (3m, good) in November but she's struggled since and been all over the shop trip-wise. |
9/4 |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Won mares' maiden hurdle at Bangor (2m, heavy) last February and was bang there when falling two out on handicap debut at Kempton (3m, good) in November; disappointing on both runs since (3m/2m4f) and has something to prove but perhaps the drop back in trip will help this headstrong mare. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 145y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Made all for Bangor maiden win (2m, heavy) last February; had every chance when falling on her reappearance (3m handicap) and was too free for comfort at Kempton over Christmas, again at 3m; probably on a fair mark and she's back in trip; chance. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Well held over hurdles in last three runs but he's won plenty under both codes including three over C&D; still 3lb higher than for his win here last June but he needs watching in market back on the Flat; effective on good/good to firm but most of his wins have come on slow ground. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Won plenty under both codes, including over C&D, and has slid to an attractive mark; this is less competitive than the races he's been contesting of late and he's one of the likelier winners back up in trip. |
3/1 |

7th 8 |
20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Five-time hurdle winner who returned to form with clear second at Leicester (1m7f, heavy) in December; only seventh of 12 at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) but didn't run badly and he's not discounted. |

11st 8lb |
Veteran who returned to form when landing a gamble with his smooth success over C&D (good; cheekpieces added) three weeks ago; up 6lb but he beat a clear second last time and he's still unexposed at this sort of trip; big player. |
2/1 |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Well handicapped on his Uttoxeter win (3m, good) last July but he's 0-9 since and has been out of sorts this year; has something to prove and he was pulled up in only go at this sort of trip; cheekpieces (last used in October) are reapplied. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |

Arrives in no sort of form but he has been running over 2m and he's won over nearly 3m in the past; back up in trip and off a reduced mark, there's some cause for optimism. |

12st 0lb |
Still unexposed after only nine races but he was safely held in all three handicap hurdles (2m-2m4f) then pulled up when upped to 2m7f for last month's chasing debut; needs new tongue-tie to make a big difference. |
7/1 |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Showed promise in novice hurdles but he's been well held in three handicaps in that sphere; still has low-mileage but this is his first attempt beyond 2m4f and he needs a transformation on chase debut. |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
