7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
0-16 over hurdles but came good over fences at the third attempt, making most at Hereford (2m, good); jumped to her left that day but to her right when beaten 4l at Worcester since; still ran well and she's in the mix. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
0-16 over hurdles but came good over fences at third attempt, making virtually all at good pace at Hereford (2m, good) six weeks ago, despite jumping slightly left throughout; 4lb higher here but this switch to an anti-clockwise track looks the right move. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Still winless after 20 starts but placed over hurdles and fences at up to 2m4f (all on a sound surface); did too much too soon when failing to see it out at Exeter (2m, good) last time but had been running consistently well beforehand from this sort of mark and could have a part to play back over fences. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Six-race maiden over hurdles but already shaping as a better proposition over fences, building on an encouraging second on debut to get off the mark at Plumpton (2m1f, good) last month; 4lb rise looks fair given the likelihood of further progress and he can make his presence felt. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 219y Class 5 |

Still a maiden over hurdles; inherited second place on chase debut at Taunton (2m, good) but that was a decent first attempt as he wasn't beaten far; same mark for this. |

9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 12y Class 5 |

Still a maiden over hurdles but he posted a respectable fifth in 2m Windsor handicap on New Year's Day; goes chasing after a break here and no forlorn hope. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Now 9lb lower than when going close over hurdles at Plumpton (2m, soft) in January but was safely held in both chases this spring (2m3f/2m), and cheekpieces didn't appear to help much when used once previously. |
33/1 |

3rd 2 |
5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
0-7 over hurdles though reaching the frame on three starts at Plumpton this year, all over 2m; made an underwhelming switch to fences last month at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) trailing in last of the five finishers; needs to raise her game. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |

Beaten between 15l and 58l in seven starts for this yard, six of those handicap chases; the blinkers did nothing last time. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Best effort for current stable came when a well-held third at Taunton (2m2f, good) in March but her overall profile remains disappointing; the blinkers need to spark significant improvement. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |

Not disgraced when third (well held in the end) at Taunton (2m2f, good) last month but generally disappointing for new stable this season and now 0-10 under rules. |

£26,000 3yo; second foal; dam multiple AQPS Flat/hurdle/chase winner; stable is 0-26 in bumpers during the last five seasons, so it's probably wise to wait for some encouraging signals from the betting. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Four-time hurdle winner; runner-up on two of his three chasing attempts this spring but was no match for the winner at Fontwell (2m2f, good) last time and others in this line-up have more compelling form. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Turned his attention to chasing fairly late in life but made a solid start when second of six at Wincanton in April; didn't back that up when never travelling at Hereford (also 2m, good) nine days ago and has a question to answer after that. |
16/1 |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Four-time hurdle winner, all at around 2m; made a belated switch to fences last month and shaped with plenty of encouragement when runner-up at Wincanton (2m, good), which also represented a return to some form; needs to back that up but he remains well treated and is one to consider. |

11st 8lb |
Fifth foal; closely related to 2m4f chase winner Thunder In Milan, half-brother to very useful chaser Kiltealy Briggs; dam unraced sister to Grand National winner Ballabriggs; likely to need longer trips to be seen to best effect and probably best watched on debut. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Asserted readily on run-in at Stratford (2m2f, good to firm) on Tuesday and is now 2-3 for Nick Scholfield; effectively only 6lb higher under 7lb penalty here and won't mind the forecast rain; respected in current mood. |

25th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |

Won twice for Paddy Butler in the spring of 2024 on soft; made an immediate impact when scoring for the first time since at Newton Abbot (2m3f, good to firm) last month on stable debut in returning cheekpieces (retained since); not disgraced when runner-up back there on Saturday and remains in decent form; claims. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |

Returned to form with a C&D win on last month's debut for Nick Scholfield, having a few of these in behind and scoring a shade cosily; remains well treated despite a 5lb rise and is the one to beat if backing up that effort. |
