16th Oct 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Won at Haydock and Bangor in March at around 2m3f; found out in more competitive contests at Aintree subsequently but is only 1lb higher than when last successful and holds claims if ready to roll following a break. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Won at about 2m3f at Haydock (good to soft) and Bangor (good) and the combination of a deep race and the drop back to 2m found him out at Aintree; better expected here off what should still be a realistic mark. |

On a hat-trick after 2m3f wins at Haydock (good to soft) and Bangor (good) under Charlie Maggs last month but the fact he failed to win at around 2m on his first ten starts in Britain hardly boosts confidence in him for this drop back in trip. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
An improving 5yo and it was never in doubt when making all for a wide-margin win at Worcester last month (2m7f, good; under Jamie Neild); whacked up 10lb for beating an exposed veteran but he has the wind in his sails. |

0-9 but was runner-up on handicap debut at Haydock (2m3f, good to soft) last month and he filled the same position behind an odds-on rival in a maiden at Ascot (2m3f, good) last time; needs to find more at this new trip but he still has potential and is a half-brother to a 2m7f chase winner. |

11st 6lb |
Won an Irish bumper and added an Ayr maiden hurdle last season; beaten seven times since that last win despite heading the market but did run well with the visor back on at Haydock (2m3f, good to soft) four weeks ago; should be involved once more. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 191y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Irish bumper winner who got off the mark over hurdles in Ayr maiden (about 2m3f, heavy) just over a year ago; expensive to follow subsequently and it was a moderate effort when sixth of eight over this sort of trip at Catterick (soft) last time; doesn't look the percentage call. |

Four wins since May divided between hurdles and fences; had a nice bit in hand when beating three rivals (including Sony Bill) over C&D 11 days ago and a 4lb rise could have been worse; on a roll and firmly in the mix. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 3 |

Two hurdle wins since May and he squeezed in a successful chase debut at Worcester (2m7f, good) in between; latest third over hurdles here (about 2m7f, good) was a solid effort last Tuesday and he's a firm candidate again; due to go up 1lb. |

Bids for a four-timer after two wins over hurdles and a chase success in between; had nothing in hand last time at Worcester (2m7f, good) and he'll need another career best off 4lb higher. |

On a dangerous mark and she returned to form with an encouraging third at Uttoxeter in March; in top hands and not written off but she's been underwhelming on both starts since, most recently over C&D last month. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Seemingly aided by first-time cheekpieces when close third at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in March, her fourth run after a long layoff, but was disappointing favourite on next outing; goes without headgear here; needs to up her game. |

Yet to match peak form since returning from long absence in the autumn but her third in first-time cheekpieces at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in late March was a pretty good effort, and she'll be fine on the forecast good ground here. |

Gained a breakthrough success at Wetherby (2m) in March 2024 for Mark Walford; very lightly raced since though and off 13 months before a well-held sixth for his new yard in 2m2f Haydock handicap 20 days ago; needs to take a big step forward. |

Ex-Irish 9yo who won a Wetherby maiden hurdle (2m, soft) for Mark Walford just under two years ago; signed off for that yard (same owner) after some poor efforts, however, so interesting to see what he can do for new stable after 397 days away. |

13th Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |

29th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 77y Class 4 |

Sole hurdles win came in a weak Worcester maiden (2m; 2-5 favourite) in August 2025; cautious on chase debut when 29l third of five at Uttoxeter (2m, good; Jet Of Dreams fourth) a fortnight ago; hood is now removed, so has the potential to do better. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |

Landed a maiden over hurdles on his stable debut at Worcester last August and has been generally consistent in that sphere over the summer; produced a lesser effort when beaten 33l at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month and makes his chasing debut with hood back on; one to keep an eye on. |

11st 0lb |
Solid start over hurdles when third at Fontwell (about 2m2f, good to soft) in November but diminishing returns were predicted by progressively bigger prices the following month; no immediate promise when beaten 21l on handicap debut at Ludlow a fortnight ago. |
25/1 |

18th Feb 2026 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Promise in bumpers (soft/good) before encouraging third on hurdle debut at Fontwell (2m1f, good to soft) in November; two lesser runs have followed but he now goes handicapping following wind surgery and it will be no surprise if he plays a leading role for his top trainer (who saddles three). |

2nd Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 5 |

Stayed on for near-7l fourth on debut at Wincanton (1m7f, soft; 11-1) in December and that form has been franked by the runner-up and the third; his best days probably lie over further but he's open to improvement for his top yard and is a key player today. |

Second start for this stable was encouraging despite bleeding from the nose, but subsequent efforts were disappointing before a better showing back in maiden company at Worcester last time; needs to build on that and has stamina to prove over this longer trip, although she's easing in the weights. |

Quick to get off the mark for his current yard at Leicester (2m) in December and he was still close up and running well when unseating rider two out on handicap debut at Haydock (2m4f) 20 days ago; firmly in the picture. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 191y Class 4 |

Wide-margin win in Leicester maiden (heavy) in December was a good start for this yard and followed that with solid third behind a useful sort here (also about 2m, good) three weeks later; set to post a lesser effort when unseating over further next time but it was a step back in the right direction when third in heavy-ground 2m Sandown novice in January; the experiment over further looks worth another go and he's a player on handicap debut. |
