8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Highly fruitful in his two and a half years with this yard, including two wins (Flat/hurdles) this February/March; needs to bounce back from a rare flop but the chief concern is his 0-15 record on Flat turf. |

Thriving at present and he followed up 1m6f Chelmsford success in February with an emphatic victory over hurdles at Huntingdon last month; big shout once more. |

Yet to win over hurdles but has filled the runner-up berth on his last three starts, latest when beaten a neck at Uttoxeter (2m, good) 20 days ago; looks sure to be thereabouts. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Yet to score over hurdles but has finished runner-up on his last two starts, the latest over C&D (good to soft) in March; needs to brush up his jumping but should run well. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Won on the Flat in Germany and France in his youth; 0-7 over hurdles but he was a creditable second off a reduced mark at Huntingdon (2m5f, good) 17 days ago; would have finished closer if he didn't make mistakes at the last two hurdles and he's a player if he can repeat that form back in trip. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
0-9 over hurdles; suggested his turn was near when placed twice over 2m3f during the winter but wasn't quite at same level when fourth on final two starts last season; needs a boost from the new cheekpieces. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 169y Class 5 |

Last run wasn't his best but likeable efforts prior to that in handicaps at about 2m3f (good to soft); has more pressing claims than most in here. |

In excellent hands but he's yet to show any form of note, pulled up in 2m Southwell novice last month; significantly more is required on his first go in handicap company. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |

Modest form in two bumpers for Paul Webber; no improvement in two 2m4f hurdle runs at Fakenham for this yard; needs to improve for drop in trip. |

11th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 145y Class 5 |

Only modest form shown for his current yard this term and he was tried in cheekpieces/tongue tie when pulled up in 3m handicap at Newcastle in January; not easy to make a case for. |

27th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 149y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Ex-French maiden who has failed to threaten on his three British starts; however, this 5yo kept on for a 24l fourth of seven at Uttoxeter (2m4f, heavy) last month and could benefit from today's longer trip and first-time headgear; dropping down the weights and not discounted. |

Poor five-race maiden over hurdles but this winning pointer was a different proposition when winning by 5l on chase debut at Bangor (3m, good; second run in this headgear combination); could cope with the 10lb rise. |

11th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 145y Class 5 |

Point winner who hinted at promise in a first-time hood on his stable/handicap debut when a keen-going seventh of 11 at Southwell (2m4f) last month; tried in a tongue tie now and he can't be discounted if taking a step forward. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Runner-up over 2m5f here last April and returned to that sort of form when third over that trip at Exeter (good); she was beaten nearly 7l and is off the same mark here, but perhaps this longer trip is what she needs. |

11th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 145y Class 5 |

Failed to build on earlier promise when only seventh at Chepstow (3m) on his first go in handicaps last month; he may still do better though with very few miles on the clock. |

7th 7 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Well beaten on first two hurdling starts but his keeping-on fifth in first-time cheekpieces at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) last month was more encouraging and further progress is possible in handicaps. |
16/1 |

5th 5 |
15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |

Pick of his two bumper runs clearly a 14l fifth of 12 behind No Drama This End on debut, but he's failed to progress since and has been well beaten on both runs over hurdles (2m4f/2m5f) this season; cheekpieces need to bring a major step forward. |
