3rd 4 |
20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Bumper winner who got off the mark in this sphere on his handicap debut at Plumpton (2m, good) last month; scrambled home that day but is lightly raced and may show further improvement off 5lb higher. |

1st 1 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won Southwell bumper in February 2025; bled from the nose at Lingfield in January but has been ready to run since February and an earlier run, a promising runner-up to a useful one at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft) in November, suggests he will be competitive on handicap debut. |

26th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Soft-ground C&D winner in February and, switched to handicaps, was only just denied back here in April (good); raised 4lb since that latest effort but remains open to progress and a leading contender, with a promising 5lb claimer booked. |
2/1 |

2nd 3 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Hinted at minor ability before having wind surgery and the operation seemed to help as she forged clear of A Tickatickatiming on handicap debut over C&D (soft) in February; should make a go of it off 3lb higher. |
5/2 |
|
1st 3 |
9th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Record of 0-5 on Flat and 0-3 over hurdles with modest RPRs under this code, including over C&D, but she may take a step forward now handicapping on first start since wind surgery; behind Penn Avenue on latest effort. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Second in consecutive 2m handicaps (one here) in February/March but wasn't quite in same form when well-held third on latest start and is now 0-9 over hurdles; unexposed at around 2m4f but needs to find something extra. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 4 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
French Flat winner in 2024; maiden hurdler who is proving hard to place in handicaps, albeit his latest defeat, over C&D last month, came at the hands of one who'd dropped a long way in the weights; needs more. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Beaten at short odds (well clear at one point) over C&D in January 2025; has fared better since, earning an RPR of 99 when runner-up at Fakenham (2m, soft; 4-1) latest; this lacks strength in depth, so he should have key role to play. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Well treated on 2023 form but hasn't raced on the Flat for over two years and recent hurdles efforts suggest he's not the same horse now; needs to prove he retains peak ability. |
25/1 |
|
5th 6 |
10th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Useful on the Flat in his prime; yet to win over hurdles, but has made the frame on his last three starts, since returning from a lengthy absence; down to a career-low mark and holds claims. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 4 |
17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Useful on the Flat in his prime; 0-8 over hurdles but posted best of three runs for new stable (since a long absence) when third at Taunton (2m, good; behind Mi Sueno) last month and is another 1lb lower here; respected. |

15th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice over hurdles for Anthony Honeyball in the spring of last year but lost his way and didn't show much on his return to the Flat on stable debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago; related to AW winners but probably best watched for now. |
20/1 |
|
9th 5 (8) |
1st Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Showed promise on the Flat in France in October 2024 and he won two novice hurdles for Anthony Honeyball in spring 2025; however, he struggled to get competitive in handicap hurdles subsequently and may be best watched back on the Flat on his stable debut; remains in same ownership. |
20/1 |
|
5th 3 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won good-ground maiden and novice hurdles last spring but he hasn't fired in handicaps, including in a tongue-tie on his last two starts and with added cheekpieces (now swapped for a visor) at Plumpton a fortnight ago; handicapper is trying to help but others look safer. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
A fair 2m2f hurdles winner at his best but he ended his time with Gary and Josh Moore out of sorts before Christmas; pulled up on his yard debut over C&D recently and tongue-tie is added here. |
50/1 |
|

6th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Hurdle winner in 2022 whose latest success came in a classified event (1m2f) last August when with the Moores; minor hurdle form in the autumn and up against it for new yard after a break. |
20/1 |

1 |
20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Won basement-grade Flat race this summer and returned to hurdling with very respectable fourth on handicap debut at Fontwell (2m1f, good) last month; still unexposed over hurdles after only two attempts and has possibilities here; first ride over jumps for 10lb claimer Ben Pollard (three Flat wins). |

19th Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Yet to add to her 2023 course maiden win and suffered mid-race mishap at Fontwell this month but her three runs in June/July (2m-2m3f) were all respectable and she probably won't be far away. |
7/2 |
|
9 |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Yet to add to her maiden win at Plumpton in 2023 but she's on a dangerous mark and ran respectably in her final two runs during the summer; not ruled out back from a break. |
6/1 |
