14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Beaten a combined 70l in two soft-ground starts over fences but he won his third hurdle race when picking up a 12-runner Ffos Las handicap (2m, good) off this mark nine days ago; 5lb well in on handicap marks if he can transfer that form to chasing and there should be no ground excuses this time. |

5th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Well treated if going back far enough but achieved little for current yard, over hurdles and fences; finished last of three on final run. |

2nd Mar 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Well treated on best hurdles form but his record for current yard leaves a lot to be desired; switch to fences made no difference last time; the weakest contender. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Came second in a low-grade handicap hurdle in May but his two Flat wins for William Haggas last year came in plating company and he needs to prove he's worth his current mark in this sphere. |
9/2 |

2nd 2 |
5th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Needed sellers to win on the Flat for William Haggas; four runs over hurdles, the standout being his 7l third in a juvenile race at Stratford; struggled since, latterly on handicap debut. |
10/1 |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Signed off for William Haggas with a brace of selling wins (1m3f/1m2f) on the Flat late last summer; three goes over hurdles but his fair third at Stratford (about 2m2f, soft) in March wasn't matched either side of it; will need to have his Stratford hat on for this handicap debut but it's still early days and that's possible. |

13th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Kept on for third on handicap hurdle debut at Ffos Las (2m, good) in May but may not have stayed 2m4f when below that form last month; tongue-tie is fitted and this drop back in trip could see him in a better light. |
10/1 |

4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Better round of jumping inspired a major uplift on last month's handicap debut at Ffos Las (2m, good), shaping as if this longer trip might give him more chance of defying a still ungenerous-looking mark. |

5th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Kicked off his handicap career with a promising second at Taunton (2m, good) in March and never really figured when held up over 2m4f a week later; back in trip after a month off, he could easily be very competitive. |
5/1 |
|
6th 6 |
1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Struggled in first three runs over hurdles but he kicked off his handicap career with a promising second behind Victory Shout at Taunton (2m, good) last week; was only beaten 2l in that race and he has a 7lb swing in the weights in this rematch; interesting contender. |
100/30 |

Only win came in a novice back in 2023; nearly added a handicap in March (good to soft) but he has his share of off days. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |

1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |

Just one win from starts over hurdles but he returned after a short break with a close second here (1m7f, good to soft) last month; up 2lb but he seems effective at this trip and he's on the shortlist. |

5th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Dual Flat winner; no easy task in a maiden last time and has run well in a couple of handicaps; could have a part to play if reacting positively to the new tongue-tie. |
7/1 |
|
5th 8 |
17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Dual Flat winner; 0-6 over hurdles and the worst of those runs was the latest in a handicap at Carlisle; gets all the allowances as a 4yo filly but others probably have greater upside even if she is back to something like her best. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 5 |

13th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Completed a spring double last year off 8lb higher; struggled for form after returning in December from a break but fared better when back to front-running tactics at Stratford (extended 2m2f; good to firm) a fortnight ago and a repeat of that effort would put him in the mix. |
11/2 |

3rd 3 |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Completed back-to-back wins last spring, including over 2m here, but has been badly out of form since returning from a break in December and failed to justify market support when pulled up at Newton Abbot this month; on a good mark but hard to recommend in current form. |
25/1 |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |

Completed back-to-back wins last spring, including one here, but has been badly out of form since returning from a break in December; now 4lb below his last winning mark, but hard to make a case for in current form. |

Sole win came here on the Flat over 1m2f; has shaped well enough in three hurdle runs to believe he could have a future off this sort of mark. |
5/2 |

12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Has shaped with some promise, without making a major impact, in juvenile hurdles at Doncaster and Chepstow; may show improvement returned to Ffos Las, having gained sole Flat win here (soft); interesting. |
12/1 |

6th 1 |
27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Class 6 Flat handicap winner (1m2f, soft) whose hurdle debut fourth at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) last month gives him something to build on; however, others in this line-up have achieved considerably more. |

Fairly useful bumper scorer last July; yet to match that form in five runs over hurdles, going too freely after six months off when ninth of 12 in 2m Ffos Las handicap in May; should strip sharper here. |

5th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Won good-ground Worcester bumper in good style this summer and ran well to a point on hurdle debut there (2m, good to soft) in September but both runs this month were disappointing and he needs to up his game in this first handicap. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Well beaten (bled from the nose) on penultimate outing but showed ability in her other two qualifying races, more recently when fourth in race won easily by 1-25 favourite; it's tricky to gauge what that form is worth but she's open to improvement in handicaps. |
