4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Built upon previous form when coming good at the fifth attempt over hurdles at Wetherby (2m, good to soft) last month; up 7lb but if the better ground was the reason for his improvement then he must also be considered here. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Encouraging third in maiden hurdle at Southwell (2m, good to soft) in December; pulled up on handicap debut here (2m3f, soft) since; might be back on better ground today which, along with the drop back in trip, could make him a different proposition; no surprise to see a good run. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 5 |

6yo who has improved with each of his three runs in novice hurdles, finishing third at Southwell (2m, good to soft) last month; placed in a 3m point and open to improvement now up in trip on handicap debut. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
5lb well in under a double penalty when completing a ten-day hat-trick over hurdles at Worcester (2m4f, good); 7lb higher this time but this 4yo is improving and seems game, so could well continue the good work as a chaser. |
5/4 |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Big improver who made it 2-3 in handicap hurdles when completing a double in smooth style at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to firm) on Tuesday; that was a three-runner race but he won with lots in hand and is 5lb well in under a double penalty here; leading contender. |

19th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 145y Class 4 |

Looked unlucky not to make winning handicap hurdle debut at Wetherby (2m, good to soft; made bad jumping error) in March but gained compensation with 21l win at Hereford (2m3f, good to firm) a week ago; ought to be hard to beat under 7lb penalty here. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Three-time Flat winner (including on good to soft) who got off the mark over hurdles at the seventh attempt over C&D (soft) last month; he did it comfortably and an 8lb rise may not stop him if he can back up that effort. |
9/2 |

1st 7 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
3-34 on the Flat and took a step forward in this headgear combination at Catterick (1m7f, soft) latest in his third handicap hurdle, finishing third of five; however, was 7l behind runner-up Voodoo Angel so has work to do. |
8/1 |

3rd 5 |
30th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
3-34 on Flat; lightly raced over hurdles and soundly beaten in November in first two handicaps in this code (2m1f, soft); the reapplied cheekpieces and first-time tongue-tie could help but others have more pressing claims. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Unexposed 4yo who is likely to have entered a few notebooks after last month's handicap debut at Wetherby (2m, good to soft), where he kept on steadily from the rear for a never-dangerous fourth; moves up in trip here; watch the betting. |
5/2 |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
His claims aren't compelling on what he's achieved on his three hurdle starts but he's not been devoid of ability and today's handicap debut at least provides him with a more realistic chance; watch the betting. |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
4yo who didn't run badly when fourth at 100-1 over C&D (soft) last month on second hurdle start but he's yet to make a serious impact across his first four starts and looks set for another supporting role. |

Out of form last season but seemed to have turned a corner when second off much-reduced mark at Hexham (2m, good) 16 days ago; player if in similar mood again here. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |

Took big step back in right direction and arguably ran better than bare form suggests when fifth at Wetherby (2m, good to soft) in March, but was generally very disappointing last season; others have more appealing profiles. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Still a maiden but could go well in refitted cheekpieces, having finished a close fifth in sole attempt in this headgear (penultimate start); didn't fare so well back in blinkers latest. |
12/1 |
|
4th 4 (2) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Touch disappointing over hurdles for this yard but fared better back on the Flat when fifth of 12 over 1m4f at Pontefract (good to soft) 25 days ago and three subsequent winners have emerged from that race; swaps the first-time cheekpieces he wore last time for blinkers he tried once over hurdles; his best RPR on the Flat was achieved over this trip. |

7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |

Not seen on the Flat since well-held third on heavy ground for Ed Walker last autumn and subsequent hurdling form for Jedd O'Keeffe was not particularly inspiring; sports first-time cheekpieces; others appeal more. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Bumper winner; cut little ice over hurdles but there were positives to take from chase debut at Ffos Las (2m3f, good to soft) where she made up some ground from off the pace; still needs more and Lunar Ocean was ahead of her last time. |
12/1 |

6th 4 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |

Lightly raced 8yo who may improve for this combination of switch to chasing and return to Ffos Las; sole course start resulted in bumper win in 2022 (peak form). |
14/1 |
|
7th 4 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Bumper winner who returned from a very long absence to make her handicap and stable debut at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) last month and ran well for a long way before fading into seventh of 12; could take a step forward now back down in trip and she's one to be interested in. |

10th 3 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Has shown promise in five runs over hurdles, but was beaten 35l on handicap debut at Wetherby (2m, good to soft) in March; has won low-grade handicap on the Flat since; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces; steps up in trip and not out of this. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |

Needed a drop to Class 6 to open his account in Catterick event (1m4f, good) last time; back up in grade but may build on that win and also have more to offer in the retained cheekpieces. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Runner-up twice in a row at Perth (2m4f, good) in September but struggled on final two starts for Olly Murphy and it was the same story on his stable debut in November; returns from a break with something to prove. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |

0-25 over hurdles but has posted some good efforts for new stable since the summer, most recently when second at Perth (2m4f, good) last month; also suited by slower ground; probably won't be far away. |

11st 6lb |
Soundly beaten at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) in November in her sole handicap and same story in Hexham novice (2m, heavy) in December; this lightly raced 5yo is in good hands and today's trip, on better ground than last time, could prove to be a good fit; not discounted. |
