18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Contrasting performances at Newton Abbot last month, winning well but then finishing last of four; cheekpieces fitted for this much tougher test. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 110y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Made it four wins since joining this yard with a wide-margin success in a higher grade over 2m1f here nine days ago, achieved in little more than a canter; well treated under his 7lb penalty and he's versatile regarding ground; leading contender. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Veteran who may still be up to winning races, having found only one rival too good at Fakenham (2m) last time; fighting chance off same mark. |
5/1 |

2nd 6 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Losing streak nearing three years, and he folded pretty quickly after a mistake at Doncaster latest; 19lb lower than when well held in this race in 2023, but wouldn't be certain he could capitalise. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Half-brother to stablemate Fransham who won this race in 2019 and 2020; his own five hurdle wins include one over C&D in October 2021 and he's now 20lb lower, but it's been a downward spiral since and he was tailed off on reappearance at Market Rasen (9-1) 18 days ago. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Minor honours over 1m3f/1m4f in his two Flat handicaps this term (his last runs for Alan King) prior to his creditable second 19 days ago for new yard over hurdles; should be a serious player. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 8 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Formerly with Alan King; creditable second at Warwick on latest hurdles start (2m, good) and has since finished third in a 1m4f handicap at Salisbury; stable debut; each-way chance. |
9/1 |

3rd 1 (7) |
23rd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three Flat wins at up to 1m2f; in the frame twice over hurdles since last seen on the Flat; drops into a 0-80 and should stay 1m4f; not discounted. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
All five wins over hurdles have been at 2m; hasn't won since his return to action in October and ran poorly when eighth of nine finishers at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) last month; handicapper is at last relenting but his best chance of success in the short-term may be back at 2m. |

8th 1 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Record of 5-23 over hurdles and placed a few times as well; a bit up and down this season but ran respectably in the new blinkers at Fakenham last time and now regular cheekpieces return over a longer trip that may suit him better. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Placed over hurdles this season and was third (albeit no match for wide-margin winner) in Cumberland Plate at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) when back on the Flat for new stable last month; respected off same mark in this easier race. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 7 (8) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Dual Flat winner for Harry Eustace (1m2f, good) who also scored twice over hurdles for Jedd O'Keeffe; became very inconsistent for latter yard, however, and he was picked up for £20,000 one month ago; refitted tongue-tie and first-time cheekpieces for this stable debut. |
25/1 |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Failed to win during rather mixed campaign last season but last month's keeping-on second at Newcastle (2m1f, good) was a good effort and the form has been well advertised by the winner since. |

Flat/hurdle winner for Joseph O'Brien; pulled up in two hurdle runs for his new stable and hard to know what to expect now back on the Flat. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |

Hurdles (2m1f, good) and Flat (1m4f, AW) wins for Joseph O'Brien last year; 12-1, pulled up in a Fakenham handicap (2m, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie, now removed) on stable debut in March; best watched. |
