27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Thriving since the cheekpieces went on in December, winning six of his nine starts in them and that includes his last four races (on Southwell Tapeta four runs back); the big majority of those races were on AW, with a comfortable success at Lingfield last time (has never run at this track); up another 5lb and into a better race but he may well carry on the good work. |

10st 0lb |
Thriving in 2026 and he gamely made all when completing a hat-trick in 2m Goodwood handicap ten days ago; up another 2lb but this likeable dual C&D scorer is a big player once more. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Four-time hurdle winner (2m-extended 2m4f); has returned from a break with two solid Flat seconds but disappointed over hurdles at Fakenham in May in between; player if back to his best. |
5/1 |

2nd 4 (2) |
18th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice over hurdles (2m/2m4f, good) and twice on the Flat in 2025; looked as good as ever when second on the Flat over C&D (AW) last month, after a break, and is respected. |

12th May 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Looked rusty after seven months off when last of seven in 1m4f Wolverhampton handicap last month; this course winner can build on that now. |

4th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Soft-ground win last summer came off a 4lb lower mark and he's entitled to need this at his age back from seven months off; trainer also saddles Bulldog Spirit. |

13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won over 1m4f here in June (soft) and got upset in the preliminaries before finishing tailed off on his return visit; was running well when falling back over hurdles; entitled to be involved. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 145y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
3-36 on the Flat and 2-30 over hurdles after signing off for Paul Flynn with a Punchestown win last October (2m, good to yielding); has been running okay on the AW for this yard; not discounted. |
14/1 |

4th 6 (5) |
12th May 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won over 2m at Tramore last August for Paul Flynn; yet to reach that form for his new stable, just fourth of five in 1m6f handicap at Southwell 19 days ago; more is required despite an easing mark. |
14/1 |

4th 4 (5) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Five-time winner in Ireland (hurdles/Flat) but he was well held in two starts for this yard at the end of last year; however, he seemed to be going quite well at the top of the straight before weakening into seventh at Kempton (2m, AW) 17 days ago and may take a step forward from that return to action. |

14th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
On a good mark and knows how to win; however, three of his four runs since a break have been underwhelming. |
13/2 |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner last year, latterly off 4lb higher, who's running in a 0-65 for the first time; finished last on his latest start but wasn't beaten far and Cieren Fallon (0-5 for the yard) is a positive booking; ought to fare better. |

12th May 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Got off the mark here (1m4f) in January and added a Chelmsford handicap victory (1m6f) in March; below-par fifth off 7lb higher mark at Southwell (1m6f) last time though so more is needed here. |
6/1 |

15th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Successful under Kyle McHugh at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in January and Chelmsford (1m6f, AW) last month; ran another good race when second of nine off this mark at Kempton (2m, AW) nine days ago and has solid claims returned to this trip. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Best efforts, including two wins this year, have all come for Kyle McHugh; maybe unwise to take his latest Chelmsford victory at face value and he'll need more again if he's to overcome a 7lb rise. |
