23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Confirmed previous promise over hurdles when an easy winner of a maiden at Fakenham last time; stiffer task here but looks the stable's number one and he's a possible player. |

1st 3 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won twice on the Flat in Poland in 2024 and once in France last year; has shaped with promise on his three hurdle starts and this looks an ideal opportunity for him to get off the mark. |

2nd 4 |
21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won twice on the Flat in Poland in 2024 and once in France last year; sometimes races a bit too freely but has made the frame on both hurdling starts, more recently when keeping-on second at Leicester (1m7f, heavy) last month, and probably still has potential over jumps; likely contender. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
A dual 2m hurdles winner at Kelso last winter and back in good nick of late, finishing third of six at Perth (2m) nine days ago; not out of things off a 2lb lower mark. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Both British wins have come at Kelso, comfortably seeing off Joltin And Jiving there (2m, soft; 13-8 favourite) last November; slowly edging back down the weights (2lb above last winning mark); second-best to another Olly Murphy-trained runner over C&D (25-1, beaten 11l) latest. |
8/1 |

2nd 8 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |

Runner-up in the 2m4f mares' handicap here last April when rated 13lb lower; won twice over 2m at Kelso in the autumn (good/soft) but hasn't done as well since; bit to prove now. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Exposed 14-race maiden over hurdles (placed on seven occasions) who has some fair form to his credit, including when second in a C&D handicap last month (good); likely to find a couple too good. |
7/2 |

2nd 8 |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |

0-3 on the Flat and 0-13 over hurdles, having had a few chances now in maidens and handicaps; has to raise his game. |

Ex-Irish; 12-race maiden over hurdles but placed in three of his four for current yard, last time finishing third of 12 in C&D handicap (good) 21 days ago; each-way claims again. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 5lb
|
Second reserve; after a stint over hurdles (1-5) he's back with his former trainer for whom he finished fourth in the 1m4f 3yo handicap here two years ago (off 3lb lower); seems to retain all his ability and would have each-way prospects if getting a run; well beaten on the Flat in sole attempt in cheekpieces. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |

Useful handicapper on the Flat for George Boughey; off the mark on fourth hurdle start when taking Ludlow handicap in good style last time; drying ground suits; should go well despite 9lb rise. |
9/4 |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Four wins for George Boughey at 1m2f/1m4f and useful in that scene; wouldn't have won but displayed some ability until falling at Sandown on hurdles debut in January; also offered something to work on in two starts the following month; Flat form makes this opening hurdle mark look dangerous. |

C&D winner who hasn't found her form in three starts following a break and there are stamina concerns to overcome at this trip. |
8/1 |

4th 2 |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
C&D winner who remains 4lb above her last winning mark (Hexham); low key in two C&D starts this year, beaten 19l and 17.5l respectively; this race is easier but she still needs to raise her game. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Four C&D wins, the most recent when justifying favouritism from 2lb higher in May 2025; Flat winner since (last September); reportedly never travelling when only fifth of 12 (Ravenscraig Castle third) here on latest start. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |

Fourth of six on the Flat last time out and beaten 22l here the time before that; a four-time winner in this discipline but reservations at the minute. |
20/1 |

4th 6 (6) |
21st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Four wins over hurdles; had few chances on the Flat but she won at Ayr in September (1m5f, soft) and showed better form when third over 1m7f 11 days later; still has some potential in this sphere and a hurdle run last month should have sharpened her up; might need more of a stamina test than this though. |

24th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Without a win since scoring over fences in September 2023 and he was 2-7 favourite on that occasion; however, hasn't had a lot of racing since and produced three fair runs during winter off his lower hurdle mark; last run was a backward step but he's no forlorn hope with cheekpieces added. |
8/1 |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Hasn't won since scoring over fences here in September 2023 (2m4f, soft; 2-7 favourite); decent run after a wind op when second to a subsequent winner in a 2m handicap hurdle at Doncaster last time; chance on that form. |
10/1 |

2nd 2 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 4 |

9yo who has returned from a long absence this season and hasn't recaptured his considerable 2023 promise, but he ran well when third off his reduced mark at Haydock (1m7f, good to soft) last month; has had wind surgery since and he could be in the mix. |

1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 4 |

Winner of a C&D novice hurdle in September (good to soft); mainly fair form since, although only third of four at 1-2 in a Newcastle handicap last time (2m1f, good to soft); tongue-tie now tried; each-way chance. |

In two 2m novices he won at Perth before a rallying third at Ayr; handicap debut was underwhelming but that was over 2m4f and perhaps this is his trip. |

Not quite at his best this year but last month's Hexham third was respectable and she remains only 2lb higher than when beating Saligo Bay to win this race under Thomasina Eyston in 2025; can't be ruled out. |

29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |

Dual AW Flat winner who has won a chase and a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick since joining Gordon Elliott; hasn't been at his best since winning over hurdles in October (2m1f, yielding); stable has a fine record here. |
