25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 216y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Had further wind surgery prior to Stratford success (2m2f, soft) last time, beating a solid yardstick in clearcut fashion and taking hurdles record to 2-3; improving in this sphere and looks one to consider. |

9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Failed to win from six attempts on the Flat but made a winning hurdles debut against her own sex at Warwick (2m, good to soft) in December; creditable second at Wetherby (2m, soft) the following month; has had wind surgery since and should run well. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Went very close to getting off the mark on final Flat start in October (1m5f, AW) and went one better on hurdle/stable debut at Warwick (2m, good to soft) last month; now carries a penalty against males but she could have more to offer in this code; possible player. |

1st May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
The last of four Flat wins was over this trip at Sandown last summer (good; 5lb lower); has since racked up a solid sequence over hurdles; in form, consistent and respected. |
6/1 |

3rd 7 |
30th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Useful four-time Flat winner at up to 1m6f; the penalty contributed to his undoing at Stratford last time (2m2f, soft) but he's proving consistent over hurdles and won't mind getting back on less testing ground; can lead. |
15/8 |

2nd 1 |
9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won four times on the Flat up to 1m6f and got off the mark over hurdles on his second start at Warwick (2m, good) in November; has continued to run well since, running his best race when third in a Listed contest at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in January; should have no issues with the step up in trip and sets the standard. |

5th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Needed sellers to win on the Flat for William Haggas; four runs over hurdles, the standout being his 7l third in a juvenile race at Stratford; struggled since, latterly on handicap debut. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Signed off for William Haggas with a brace of selling wins (1m3f/1m2f) on the Flat late last summer; three goes over hurdles but his fair third at Stratford (about 2m2f, soft) in March wasn't matched either side of it; will need to have his Stratford hat on for this handicap debut but it's still early days and that's possible. |
7/1 |

3rd 5 |
4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Won a couple of sellers (1m3f/1m2f) on the Flat for William Haggas last year; improved on hurdle debut when third of four finishers in a Stratford juvenile (2m2f, soft) last month and holds place claims. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Progressive on the Flat last year; tailed off on hurdle debut at Stratford last month before 32l third over this C&D (good to soft) three weeks ago, behind two useful sorts; this race should take a lot less winning. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
3-13 on the Flat for George Boughey, the latest win gained in October (2m, AW; RPR 78), but struggled (albeit on soft ground) when making stable/hurdle debut against own age group last month. |
33/1 |

4th 2 |
9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
His autumn progress on the Flat for George Boughey came at an ordinary level but he won three times (1m4f/2m) and there's every chance he'll make a hurdler; not ruled out on first run since changing hands for 20,000gns. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Flat winner whose hurdles form comprises a couple of second-place finishes and a late fall (beaten at the time); even off bottom weight, this looks a difficult task upped in class. |
33/1 |

9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won on the Flat at Brighton in September; has taken well to hurdling, finishing runner-up on both starts, latest when beaten a neck at Newbury (2m, good to soft; 5-2) ten days ago; looks a matter of time before he gets his head in front in this sphere. |

2nd 6 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
No great shakes on the Flat (1-11) but he did win his final run in that scene over 1m4f at Brighton in September (good to firm; also runner-up on soft); failed favourite backers when second on hurdling debut (Warwick; 2m, good) but the winner has since progressed to better things; absent since November but his yard has won two of the last four renewals of this; player. |
