British challenger is 2-2 since tackling handicaps; won a three runner race at Doncaster (16.5f, gd-sft) off 106 then won in emphatic style at Wincanton upped to 2m4f (gd-sft) off 2lb higher; hiked up 10lb and moves up in grade but could be more to come; cheekpieces go on. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 179y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Built upon the promise shown in junior hurdles last year (including on soft ground) when winning on handicap/seasonal debut at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) in December; had just two rivals to beat on that occasion but the form still looks solid and he's open to further improvement for top yard. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 110y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Made most for two game wins in four-runner C&D races (good to firm) last summer, latterly in this race off 2lb higher than today; second to Baileys Khelstar over C&D on latest outing was in just a three-runner race but easily his best Flat effort this year, so he could be on his way back. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Comes into this off the back of winning a three-runner race over hurdles at Fontwell, but he is equally adept on the Flat with two wins in four-runner contests over C&D (good to firm) last summer, including this race off 1lb lower; respected. |

10st 12lb |
Flat winner is 1-17 over hurdles, the win coming in a Sedgefield maiden on latest (2m4f, good); previously proved no match for Laughing John in a handicap at Wincanton and work to do to turn that form around in new headgear. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
A fairly useful maiden hurdler/chaser for Denis Hogan; went too keenly on his first three outings for his current yard but bounced back to form when (refitted with tongue strap) third of 15 in 2m4f Wincanton handicap 35 days ago; the clear form pick back in maiden company; headgear retained. |
5/4 |

3rd 7 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 179y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
0-15 over hurdles and needs to produce more than he's managed this term; however, his reduced mark appeals on his useful form up to last March and Harry Cobden is 4-9 this season for Faye Bramley, whose stable is in good form; no surprise to see a bold show now back in a handicap. |

11st 9lb |
Followed up four Flat wins with a maiden hurdle win in Jersey in June 2024; had a long absence afterwards but signs of running back into form when a near 10l third of 15 at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft); wouldn't be certain to stay this far, however. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 179y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Four Flat wins in a row prior to completing five-timer on hurdle debut in Jersey in June 2024; following a long absence she's been handed some tough tasks this season in her first three chases, and she has far more realistic claims now in a handicap on her second hurdle start; interesting. |
20/1 |

5th 3 |
14th Jan 2026 Good 2m 7f 91y Class 1 |

Completed her five-timer (Flat/hurdles) at a modest level on the mainland and in Jersey; limitations exposed in a couple of Listed chases since, finishing last of five latest; similar outcome is on the cards. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
2m7f winner at Market Rasen in March for previous yard and not disgraced at Plumpton on stable debut last time; had wind surgery since and now goes in tongue-tie, with cheekpieces reapplied; interesting, with a bigger effort plausible. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
26th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Dual hurdle winner for James Owen, most recently at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft) in March; backed that up with a solid effort next time but was beaten 22l when favourite back there 18 days ago, which leaves him with a bit to prove; makes stable debut with the booking of Sean Bowen catching the eye. |

C&D scorer in March (good to soft) on his first realistic staying assignment, and 3lb badly in when not quite up to defying a penalty next time; of renewed interest after a break, and a winner on good also. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Hooded when solid third over C&D (good) at the end of last year and scored at Plumpton (about 2m4f, soft) on next start in February; revised mark has seen him held in two subsequent starts but that doesn't tell the whole story as they were seriously competitive series qualifiers; cheekpieces (worn once over hurdles when second here 13 months ago) are reapplied and he needs a firm second look. |
10/1 |

27th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 56y Class 4 |

Knocking on the door on good ground this season prior to gaining a deserved win at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) recently; 6lb higher in a more competitive race today but he did it comfortably last time and has solid claims. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
1-9 over hurdles; makes chasing debut from a workable mark but has become very inconsistent and was well beaten in first-time cheekpieces last month (2m7f); drops back in trip with visor tried here; not easy to predict. |

Mixed form last season; peak efforts included third at Market Rasen (2m2f) on Boxing Day and second off this mark at Hereford in April latest; not guaranteed to back that up but he's in the mix if repeating that effort with cheekpieces now added. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 179y Class 4 |

Tailed off at Hereford (2m3f, good to soft) in December on latest start but prior to that he caught the eye when runner-up in a novice hurdle at Lingfield (2m3f, good to soft); could be a contender on handicap debut if tapping back into the promise shown on that penultimate start. |

Won 4yo hurdle at Hereford (2m, soft) last February on second start and he's been runner-up in both handicaps, most recently over C&D (soft) last month; that latest form reads well and he's a strong contender up 3lb. |

Fair bumper performer who has matched that form in this sphere, still not foot perfect when a good second of five in 2m Fakenham novice last month; this return to further should suit so he's very much one to consider, especially if hurdling better. |

He's not obviously well treated off his opening mark but this 5yo has been consistent across his six starts (all at 2m) and his pedigree provides optimism that he'll improve for the step up in trip; possible player. |

Soft-ground bumper winner who showed plenty of ability on first three hurdle starts (two at about 2m4f) before a poor show on handicap debut at Wincanton (9-1) last time; needs to rebound and also to find improvement over this new trip; others have a bit less to prove. |
