15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Four-time winner on the Flat for Richard Hughes and it's been a promising start over hurdles, winning a Southwell maiden last time without too much fuss (good); penalised accordingly but sets the standard. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Fairly useful four-time AW Flat winner in these silks for Richard Hughes and promising second of ten on his Warwick hurdle debut (2m, good to soft) for Olly Murphy 24 days ago; entitled to improve and the one to beat. |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Four-time AW winner at up to 2m on Flat for Richard Hughes, reaching an RPR of 85 (has shown a similar level of form on turf); remains with same owner; has the potential to become a fairly useful hurdler. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Acts on good and heavy ground; won off 2lb lower over C&D for Charlie Johnston last autumn and he ran well over hurdles last month, on his second run for current yard; seems tactically versatile and he's in the mix off a workable mark back on the Flat. |
9/2 |

2nd 7 |
1st Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Useful on the Flat for Charlie Johnston, proving reliable and winning 2m handicap at Goodwood (heavy) last autumn (sold for 165,000gns soon after); 9-2, weakened to finish a well-held sixth of ten in Ascot juvenile (2m, soft) on hurdle debut in January; should be capable of a lot better in this sphere. |
2/1 |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 157y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Not far off useful on the Flat for Charlie Johnston, proving reliable and winning 2m handicap at Goodwood (heavy) last autumn; changed hands for 165,000gns in October; likely to be suited by longer distances in due course but he commands respect on his hurdling debut even so. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Quite useful on the Flat at his best; always behind on first two hurdling starts and didn't achieve huge amount when well-held third in slowly run Southwell maiden (2m, good) last month but is still worth a glance in the betting before this handicap hurdle debut; tongue-tie refitted. |

3rd 4 |
1st Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
A fair 1m4f Flat scorer for David Menuisier but yet to fire for his current yard, including in two hurdles; can't make a case for. |

8th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |

A fair 1m4f Flat scorer for David Menuisier but yet to fire for his current yard, including on his hurdling debut at Southwell (2m) last month; not easy to make a case for. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
0-11 on the Flat and 0-4 over hurdles; made a fairly encouraging handicap hurdle debut when sixth of 13 at Southwell (2m, good) this month, though, and might be boosted by refitted cheekpieces here. |
7/1 |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Modest maiden on Flat and a similar story over hurdles, all maidens; handicaps are now a better option but he's unconvincing. |
20/1 |

4th 8 |
1st Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |

Modest maiden on Flat; reached the frame on the first of two hurdle outings at Huntingdon in recent months but the form is barely modest; more needed. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Not seeing out his races at all convincingly this year, beaten 54l in a 2m4f 0-125 handicap here latest (2m4f, good); overlooked. |

8th 9 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Fair form when reaching the frame in a bumper and two maiden hurdles (all 2m) in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell last year but below that form in two runs for current yard; needs to show more. |
9/1 |

1st Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Fair form when reaching the frame in a bumper and two maiden hurdles (all 2m) in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell last year but weakened quickly from two out when a remote last of six in 2m4f Hereford handicap for new yard a fortnight ago; quickly drops back in trip. |
