10th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Got off the mark on his fifth attempt over fences, over C&D (good) last month; nowhere near that level here (2m3f, good) eight days later but maybe he can return to form back to his winning distance. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
12st 7lb |
Made the breakthrough on his fifth start over fences when scoring here (3m2f, good) last Wednesday; back down in trip under 7lb penalty but not fully exposed and looks a key player. |
2/1 |

6th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |

Lengthy breaks are a feature in his profile; beaten at least 10l in all four runs over fences (2m5f-3m1f) and brought up the rear last time at Plumpton; unconvincing. |

10th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
No match for Ballyfinn when having to settle for second place over C&D (good) last month, but opened her account over fences at Worcester (2m7f, good) on Saturday; shoulders a 7lb penalty and this looks tougher. |

0-7 over fences but ran big race in defeat when second at Fontwell (3m2f, good) last month, looking the likely winner until collared on run-in; one of two for the stable and a player off same mark again today. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Four-time chase winner and has been in good form since May barring his penultimate race; never far away when runner-up at Bangor last week (3m, good) and must have every chance once more. |
8/1 |

2nd 5 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Four-time chase winner; returned from break with three good efforts this spring, including a C&D third (good), but looked very laboured when well beaten at Southwell 17 days ago; needs to bounce back. |
8/1 |

4th 5 |
9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |

Four-time chase winner; no longer the force of old but returned from break with three placed runs last month, losing out only by a short head at Fontwell (3m2f, good) last time; can make his presence felt again. |

6th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
This season's pointing form is uninspiring; 10lb out of the weights for recent yard debut at Ffos Las but was only 12-1 and he fell mid-race; only 2lb wrong this time and could be a lively contender. |
14/1 |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |

Seen only once under rules since 2021 and this season's pointing form is very uninspiring; 10lb out of the weights for this stable debut; could be considered only if lively in the betting. |

6th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Course winner; a lot of his form is over shorter but he proved his stamina for 3m when runner-up at Ffos Las two weeks ago (good); unlikely to be far away off the same mark. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 10 |
21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Produced a remarkable late surge to snatch what had looked an unlikely victory at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft; blinkers removed) last month but this inconsistent 9yo tends to race lazily nowadays and got going too late when back at Fontwell a fortnight ago; other are much less risky. |

11st 11lb |
1-15 over fences; runner-up twice in cheekpieces at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) at start of this year but didn't fire in first-time blinkers (retained) at Fontwell last month; others are more persuasive. |
14/1 |

6th 1 |
6th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-5 over hurdles and 1-14 as a chaser; clearly difficult to win with but arrives here in a good run of form and always a chance that new headgear might give him a lift; an assured stayer. |
6/1 |
|
4th 6 |
9th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 85y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
His sole success came when landing this race last year (good to firm) in first-time cheekpieces off 3lb lower mark; has ran with credit since when placed and his second at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) in February will have set him up nicely for a repeat bid. |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Maiden hurdle winner; 0-12 over fences but placed a good few times but took a backward step last time when beaten 45l at Fontwell (3m2f, good); first-time visor replaces cheekpieces with tongue-tie retained; has a bit to prove. |

1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |

Won a maiden over hurdles but tailed off in his two handicaps and chasing is more his game these days; has been running well in that discipline, though, so couldn't put a line through him. |

Three-time hurdle winner; fourth of ten on chase debut at Exeter where 2m3f was on the sharp side; should run well. |
5/1 |

7th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 48y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Record of 3-16 over hurdles and placed in both her races following a lengthy break; she's not the biggest to be jumping fences but she measured her hurdles well; respected. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Dual 2m4f hurdle winner last June and she's held her from well since, most recently back from a 151-day break when a 2.5l second at Hereford 18-days ago ridden by Aimee Jones; likely to make her presence felt again off an unchanged mark. |

6th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Not solid on his hurdling exploits (0-7) and he ran no race on chase debut last time (2m4f); this longer trip is probably a better fit for him so may leave that latest run behind. |
20/1 |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Mixed form over hurdles this season but runner-up at Plumpton (3m1f, good) two starts ago and stable has much better strike-rate with chasers than hurdlers nowadays; not ruled out on first run over fences. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |

Did not show a great deal in his qualifying races last season (2m3f-2m5f) and unseated rider at third flight when upped to 3m2f for handicap debut in March (race subsequently declared void); returns from six-month break. |

Returned to winning ways in the new visor at Taunton (2m7f, good) but whether he'll follow one good run with another is questionable and he's gone up 6lb. |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |

25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |

Dual chase winner; seemingly back in good nick when second at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) in November but ended 2025 with two non-completions and his record when fresh is not good; others preferred. |

Lightly raced hurdler; jumping was a bit iffy on chase debut at Newton Abbot (2m5f) but could be wiser for that experience, and he wasn't beaten all that far despite finishing last. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |

Only seen sporadically over hurdles the past two years, latterly when not looking to see out 3m a month ago; needs a deal of improvement on today's chasing debut. |
