11st 0lb |
The dead-heat victory and (off today's mark) a close fourth in 2m3f Carlisle 0-110s on his last two outings rate personal best efforts; more needed again up in class, and didn't convince over 3m in Irish points. |

Strong in the market and showed improved form when sharing the spoils with the reopposing Three Brothers in a C&D handicap (good to soft) 13 days ago; in the right hands to keep on improving. |

The form he showed last summer/autumn has been franked by the winners since; faded into fourth, seeming in need of the run, last month on handicap debut and return from break; worth another chance. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Initially disappointing for new stable this year but easily landed gamble in Bangor handicap (2m7f, good) in March, and did not need to be at same level to justify skinny odds in Uttoxeter novice (2m7f, good) this month; has a big penalty but should still be hard to beat. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Miles clear with one other when beaten just over 1l in a Market Rasen 0-125 handicap latest (3m, good; RPR 118), and this novice contest isn't anywhere near as deep; yet to register form of that calibre with give underfoot, but possible he could get away with it here even if rain arrives. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
The same combination of a sharp track, good ground and stayers' trip of his peak Irish effort similarly worked the oracle at Bangor last time; a 9lb re-raise demands another big step forward, though that's not impossible having won with far more in hand than the near-3l verdict may infer. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Runner-up at Warwick (3m2f, good to soft) in March under regular rider Cameron Johnstone-Baker and she's firmly in the picture on that form but two lesser performances have followed and she needs something extra. |
7/1 |

3rd 3 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Found a warm Haydock class 2 stayers' handicap a step too far last month (22l last of nine), breaking a run of place finishes dating back to the autumn; races off her last winning mark back down in class. |
10/1 |

9th 6 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Never better than when placed under Cameron Johnstone-Baker at Ascot (2m7f), Kempton (3m, again on good) and Warwick (3m2f, good to soft; behind Super Survivor) on last three outings; a bit extra is needed to win this warm race. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Ran below his mark even when placing over the winter, and none the wiser as to his staying credentials after a subdued effort behind Tiger Orchid at Wetherby latest (3m); tongue-tie added on this stable debut. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Didn't threaten on his two runs last month (2m/2m3f, heavy/good to soft) but those weren't bad performances and it's possible this half-brother to a 3m-3m2f winner will be suited by the step up in trip; on a reduced mark and he's not discounted in first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces). |
8/1 |

4th 2 |
24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
He hasn't kicked on since going close off 2lb higher on his reappearance at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in October; also effective on soft/good to soft; however, he didn't run badly at Taunton recently and is not ruled out. |

10st 4lb |
Worcester record of 3122U1 includes last month's 2m7f win off 6lb lower (good); no margin for error back on his highest mark, but place claims if now able to return to the consistency of his 2024-25 campaign. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Dual hurdle winner (2m-2m5f, good) but yet to win in handicap company and was out of sorts in a light campaign last season; shaped as though the run may have been needed on last month's reappearance but remains with something to prove on recent evidence despite a further ease in the weights. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
2m7f winner at Market Rasen in March for previous yard and not disgraced at Plumpton on stable debut last time; had wind surgery since and now goes in tongue-tie, with cheekpieces reapplied; interesting, with a bigger effort plausible. |
8/1 |

26th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Dual hurdle winner for James Owen, most recently at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft) in March; backed that up with a solid effort next time but was beaten 22l when favourite back there 18 days ago, which leaves him with a bit to prove; makes stable debut with the booking of Sean Bowen catching the eye. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 3 |

C&D scorer in March (good to soft) on his first realistic staying assignment, and 3lb badly in when not quite up to defying a penalty next time; of renewed interest after a break, and a winner on good also. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Not wholly straightforward, but appreciated the return to hurdling sufficiently to record a new personal best in victory at Uttoxeter latest (2m7f, good to soft); blinkers debuted there will need to work at least as well now returned to his previous highest mark; has won on good. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Completed a double over hurdles at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in November 2024 but he's been up and down since and was pulled up over fences at Chepstow (11-4 favourite) last month; new headgear is now tried and he comes with risks attached back in this sphere. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |

Won over C&D (good) last season and has made the frame all three hurdling starts this term, the latest here (2m7f, good to soft) in December; seems versatile ground-wise and, from a workable mark, probably won't be far away. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Won maiden at Downpatrick (2m6f, good) last August; tough task in Listed novice in October on final run for Stuart Crawford, before sold for £26,000 and tailing off when 150-1 for stable/handicap debut at Wetherby (3m, good to soft) two weeks ago; may have needed that run but a dramatic turnaround is needed. |

Bumper runner-up who won maiden hurdle at Downpatrick (2m6f, good) last August; has shown promise on yielding to soft; tough task in Listed novice in October when fifth of six on final run for Stuart Crawford; subsequently sold for £26,000; improvement necessary on stable/handicap debut. |
