2-4 on the Flat for Karl Burke and quite useful; no sign of that ability over hurdles but that could change now he's into handicap company; market confidence would be welcomed. |

Has failed to shine in two attempts over hurdles and may be more interesting in handicaps shortly; otherwise retains potential judged on Flat record (2-4; best RPR 85). |

15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Dual Flat winner whose best hurdling effort came with the switch to handicaps when third at Southwell (2m, good) in May, but he failed to match that form when well backed at Warwick nine days later; latest Flat run is best overlooked and he has claims if reproducing the Southwell effort. |
8/1 |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Well below market expectations over hurdles last time (potential stamina issues but has never been the most consistent) and returns to the Flat on a handy mark; course winner as a 2yo (good to soft) and he's considered under Fletcher Yarham. |
6/1 |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Dual Flat winner; ran his best race in this sphere when third of ten finishers at Southwell (2m, good) nine days ago on his handicap debut; has scope to improve further and should run well. |

10st 9lb |
Low-mileage 5yo who came from off the pace to win on last month's chasing debut at Market Rasen (2m1f, good; refitted tongue-tie); 6lb higher in a stronger race but should have more to offer. |
7/2 |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |

0-5 over hurdles but shaped well before fading into fourth of 13 at Southwell (2m, good; first run after wind op) this month and Ben Pauling is evidently keen to launch his chasing career; interesting. |
9/4 |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Ran against some useful novices in his qualifying races; again struggled on his handicap debut at Haydock, but he was only 9-2 for that 2m5f race (first-time tongue-tie now dispensed with) and has since undergone a wind operation; wouldn't be exposed just yet; market could be informative. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
1m Flat winner in September 2024 when trained by the Kublers; yet to make the frame in four starts over hurdles but has time on his side; hood worn on last two starts is left off; may do better at some point. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
1m Flat winner in 2024; has run three times over hurdles, on second occasion showing modest form on New Year's Day on debut for this yard; not so good when hooded on soft ground next time and he refused to enter the stalls for a Flat race four weeks ago; bit to prove. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Made fairly encouraging handicap debut over C&D (good) last month and his recent fourth in first-time cheekpieces at Market Rasen (2m, good) was also respectable; needs to find something extra today, though. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |

0-11 on the Flat and 0-4 over hurdles; made a fairly encouraging handicap hurdle debut when sixth of 13 at Southwell (2m, good) this month, though, and might be boosted by refitted cheekpieces here. |
7/1 |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Seems versatile as regards trip; good second at Hexham (2m7f) and successful at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) since joining Dan Skelton; better than ever and may improve further at this sort of level; respected. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Won a 2m3f handicap hurdle in April for Richard Bandey whom she left for £20,000; 13-8 for recent yard debut at Hexham and went down narrowly over a trip just shy of 3m; obvious contender here off an untouched mark. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |

Didn't fire when dropped back to 2m six weeks ago, her final start for Richard Bandey, but was in good form at about 2m4f beforehand, notably when making all at Hereford (good) in April; recently changed hands for £20,000 and now tackles a new trip on stable debut; interesting to see what Dan Skelton can do with her. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Has tended to race too freely and has been well held in all three handicap starts despite attracting market support, including after wind surgery; should be capable of better and this is a modest contest but he still needs to learn to settle. |
8/1 |

7th 10 |
9th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Unable to justify prominence in the betting when soundly beaten in first two handicaps, the latter over C&D last month, and his tendency to race too freely remains a worry; evidently thought capable of better, though. |

Maiden over hurdles and fences; back hurdling for his last three starts and has to raise his game; the cheekpieces may help. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |

Maiden over hurdles and fences; two good efforts in small-field Fakenham chases last year but his placed form over hurdles since back from a break suggest he'll be pushed to get off the mark today. |

Dual chase winner, latterly off lowly handicap mark in the autumn, but well beaten on both starts this spring (hurdle/chase) and faces tough task on these terms; hood removed from headgear collection. |

25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |

C&D winner in November and ran well when second at Newcastle (2m, good to soft) 11 days later; looked the likeliest winner before unseating late at Taunton in December and now needs to bounce back from a disappointing run at Fontwell on Boxing Day (jumped right); tough mark but remains of interest with Sean Bowen booked. |

Four modest runs over hurdles and endured a heavy defeat in handicap company; however, returns to this scene on the back of two competitive runs in 1m4f classified races on the AW, so at least he's in good nick. |
