2nd 4 |
15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Back-to-back hurdle wins in May (2m-extended 2m2f) on good or quicker ground, but was most disappointing when a remote third of three on handicap debut at Stratford last month; that effort was too bad to be true and he's not ruled out if bouncing back. |

3rd 1 |
16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Useful on the Flat in 2024 and a dual hurdle winner last month, latterly here (2m2f, good to firm); ought to make a bold bid from the front on this handicap hurdle debut. |
15/8 |

1st 1 |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who scored twice on Flat over 1m2f in 2024 for Harry Charlton; returned from a 359-day break to open his account over hurdles in a weak Hereford maiden (2m, good) 25 days ago; has clearly had issues but possesses plenty of talent and should go close. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Low-grade winner on the AW who has shown some aptitude for hurdling, making the frame in run-of-the-mill 2m maidens at Hereford (good) and Huntingdon (good to firm); not obviously well treated for this handicap debut but should feature in a weak race. |
3/1 |

3rd 5 |
19th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Low-grade AW winner; did not achieve huge amount when well-held second of seven behind short-odds favourite at Hereford (2m, good) a fortnight ago, his second hurdle run, but might collect another minor prize here. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Record of ten wins from 34 starts on the AW; goes particularly well here, gaining fourth course success when scoring by 14l over 2m nine days ago; this trip no problem; will be hard to beat with a 5lb penalty. |
5/4 |

1st 1 (2) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nine wins on the AW including two over C&D (course record reads 22111544); would have finished closer with a clear run when fifth of eight at Bath (2m1f, good) 15 days ago and very much of interest back here. |
5/2 |

5th 2 (1) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Added another two AW wins to his haul this winter; rated 7lb lower on turf but with some justification given his record on grass, including a heavy C&D defeat in April; not solid. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Regressive 6yo who has not run on the Flat since midfield finish in 1m6f Wolverhampton handicap in April; ran okay in two handicap hurdles last month but others have more pressing claims. |
16/1 |
|
5th 6 |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Three-time AW winner (1m6f-2m) but he's been well held in four hurdle runs since April including a Worcester handicap (2m, good; 33-1); this stiffer stamina test could help but he needs to show a lot more. |
14/1 |

6th 12 |
11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Three-time AW winner (1m6f-2m); well beaten in three spins over hurdles; lowly rated for handicap debut but he needs a spark; stablemate of Strong As Steel. |

11-race maiden under both codes and only recently changed hands for 1,200gns after pulling up on his handicap debut over hurdles. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Well beaten on both Flat starts for this stable in the autumn and showed nothing more than minor promise in three maiden hurdles this spring; may fair better now handicapping but others have more obvious claims. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 |
5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Hasn't progressed from a good 2yo effort and he holds weak claims on Flat/hurdles form for current yard; however, may be capable of a resurgent display, with this contest being far from strong. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Brings the worst form having achieved virtually nothing (Flat/hurdles); moreover, has failed to complete in three attempts under this code. |
150/1 |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |

Dismal claims on form; combination of physical tweak (wind surgery) and fitting of tongue-tie/hood needs to make a huge difference. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
