4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Completed a rapid hat-trick in handicap hurdles in May and got off the mark over fences at the third attempt at Uttoxeter (2m, good) recently; 10lb higher against much tougher opposition this afternoon but he made all in fine style last time and this 4yo could continue his rise up the ranks. |

1st 5 |
15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Recorded a three-timer over hurdles in May but has been turned over at short odds in first two runs over fences since; did little wrong on either occasion and remains a young chaser with potential; should be hard to beat. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 75y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Showed the benefit of wind surgery when winning three hurdle races on the bounce in May and very nearly defied a 4lb lower mark than this at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in July on chase debut; latest race was voided well before the finish; strong claims. |

Back on track to some extent when runner-up at Hereford (2m3f) in first-time cheekpieces, which are retained, albeit beaten 21l; more is needed again. |

12th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |

Only modest form shown thus far and he had breathing surgery before coming in a remote fourth of nine in 2m1f Exeter handicap 25 days ago; cheekpieces are now tried. |

12th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Scored twice (around 2m4f) at Huntingdon and Southwell late in 2025 but off since a below-par seventh at Doncaster (2m3f) in January when also not looking the easiest of rides; needs to bounce back after a layoff. |
5/1 |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Underwhelming when mid-division at Catterick last month; however, he was in fine form previously, winning twice in the autumn (2m3f/2m4f, good/soft) and finishing second of 14 at Exeter (2m2f, soft) in December; major player if leaving last time behind. |
6/1 |

21st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
In-form hurdler who is 2-4 in headgear since October, wins over about this trip at Huntingdon and Southwell (visored) followed by a keeping-on second of 14 in first-time blinkers at Exeter (about 2m2f, soft) last month; 1lb nudge won't stop him being a leading contender. |

8th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
All of his 13 Flat wins have been on turf and he's 0-9 on AW; returned to form with fair fourth at Bath (2m1f, good) in June but he's struggled in both subsequent runs (hurdles/Flat) and others are preferred; stablemate of Trooper. |

15th Jul 2026 Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
10yo who was tailed off over hurdles a fortnight ago but respectable fourth here (2m1f, good) last month and he won twice here last season (1m6f/1m5f, good to firm/firm); could give a good account. |
9/1 |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

A fair 2m1f winning hurdler who wasn't disgraced when fourth on the Flat at Bath 18 days ago; this veteran is no forlorn hope back in this sphere. |

12th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |

Course winner in 2024 but she failed to take to fences last season and came in last of seven back in this sphere at Newton Abbot (2m) last month; others are much preferred. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Close third over hurdles at Chepstow (2m, good) in October but she's not taken to fences this winter and has been pulled up in last two starts; bit to prove but she's on a dangerous mark back in this sphere and could be a big factor if she can revive; blinkers worn in last two starts are removed. |

9st 12lb |
Came good for Tony Carroll at third attempt, in Ffos Las classified (1m, good to soft) last month; has a bit more on his plate in this handicap but the move back up in trip ought to suit; might be the answer. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
0-8 over hurdles for Emma Lavelle but signed off for her with respectable third in Uttoxeter maiden (2m4f, good) in July and is on a workable handicap mark for this stable debut; no surprise if she features. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 6 |
15th Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Has shown ability over hurdles but she's struggled in her last three runs including when pulled up in a handicap at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) last month; overall record is now 0-9 and others are more convincing. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |

Never travelling when pulled up at Hereford last month, and no more encouragement returned to novice company since; new career-low mark still insufficiently tempting. |

10th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Seemingly on the downgrade now but has posted two good efforts over 2m7f here (good) this summer and might benefit from this drop back in trip. |
9/2 |

5th 15 |
19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Last won at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) in May 2025; while not so good over the last year, he has gone down the weights and third of six to The Great Escape over C&D (his first run beyond 2m5f) last time gives him a place chance. |
