23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Initially disappointing for new stable this year but easily landed gamble in Bangor handicap (2m7f, good) in March, and did not need to be at same level to justify skinny odds in Uttoxeter novice (2m7f, good) this month; has a big penalty but should still be hard to beat. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Miles clear with one other when beaten just over 1l in a Market Rasen 0-125 handicap latest (3m, good; RPR 118), and this novice contest isn't anywhere near as deep; yet to register form of that calibre with give underfoot, but possible he could get away with it here even if rain arrives. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
The same combination of a sharp track, good ground and stayers' trip of his peak Irish effort similarly worked the oracle at Bangor last time; a 9lb re-raise demands another big step forward, though that's not impossible having won with far more in hand than the near-3l verdict may infer. |

31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Entitled to win his maiden at Plumpton last time (2m4f, good to soft) and unlikely that represented significant improvement, if any; however, has shown he can be competitive off this mark so has to be on the radar. |

16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Shaped promisingly when ridden with more restraint and finishing runner-up back at a similar trip at Southwell last month; more exposed than most but sets the standard with a mark of 110 and a leading contender with no ground concerns. |
6/4 |

2nd 6 |
18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Ran himself into the ground over 2m at Huntingdon (soft) a fortnight ago but previously finished a solid third of 14 in Catterick handicap (about 2m3f, good) in December; that better form gives him claims. |

31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Not really bred for this huge rise in trip but the form of his third in a 3m point has worked out well so there's hope that he could display improvement on this handicap debut; market needs checking. |
11/2 |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
His third in an Irish point last February was particularly strong form, with plenty of winners emerging from the race; however, he's been disappointing in a bumper and over hurdles on varying ground and looks one for further down the road. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Has stamina in his pedigree but didn't strictly improve for a step up to 2m7f at Bangor (handicap debut) most recently; however, still ran respectably and may build on that effort. |
8/1 |

31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Definite improvement when beaten about 13l into third in a soft-ground maiden at Hereford (2m3f) and the front two that day have progressed to better things; this gelding might do likewise now sent further for his handicap debut. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Ran okay in two bumpers last season but was tailed off when 150-1 for hurdle debut at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) in November; had wind surgery subsequently but was then beaten 48l in a Ludlow maiden (2m5f, good to soft) last month and doesn't look the answer here. |

31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Has regressed since chasing home a class act on hurdle debut at Sedgefield and finished weakly over 3m at Haydock last time after a wind operation; others safer. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Fair effort on hurdles debut when second at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) in December but it's been downhill since, including when pulled up in this headgear combination last time; reported to have made a respiratory noise that day so maybe subsequent wind surgery will help; handicap debut. |

9th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 71y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Form dipped last time (kept to 2m4f) but gave the impression he may well improve for this combination of longer trip and fitting of headgear (tongue-tie also added); has shown consistent promise (point/bumper/hurdle) otherwise; possibilities. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Just one win in 24, and Ffos Las near-miss on second outing for current handler likely owed something to the drop to 0-105 company (3m, heavy); limitations exposed again since and this is tougher still. |

31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Had plenty of racing in Ireland where she was effective on good ground; conditions were heavy when going close at Ffos Las a month ago (3m) and she travelled strongly deep into that race; possibilities off 4lb higher. |

2nd 5 |
1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Had plenty of racing in Ireland, winning just the once; made a quiet start for this yard at Chepstow but in a Class 3 handicap over 2m3f and this is easier; should handle the ground and has form over this far. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |

Displayed ability in Ireland last spring and this very lightly raced 5yo is one to watch in the betting; however, he was tailed off at big odds last month in his first two handicaps. |

31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |

Didn't last long with Gordon Elliott; 100-1 for handicap debut at Stratford (2m) and never got involved; raised in trip. |

9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Showed ability for Gordon Elliott, finishing third on Cork debut (2m maiden, soft; 14-1); remote fourth on first start for this trainer at Uttoxeter last September; still early days but this represents a tough handicap debut off a 174-day absence. |
