9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Low-mileage 5yo who made winning stable debut when back under rules at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good; first-time cheekpieces) last month; drew well clear of the others with the runner-up there and could still be well treated after a 6lb rise. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Ex-Irish; best run over hurdles when 6.5l-fifth in a Limerick handicap last December (2m, heavy); has since finished third in two British points (2m5f/3m); quite interesting back over hurdles on stable debut. |

Ex-Tom Lacey; well beaten in two handicaps for present yard following a long absence; needs to improve. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |

Down the field in four runs for Tom Lacey and she returned after long absence with well-held fifth on handicap/stable debut at Exeter (2m2f, good to soft) last month; still early days but she needs improvement on this drop back in trip; hood reapplied. |

Dual novice winner for previous yard; building up some momentum for this one after beating all bar an improver at Bangor (2m7f, good); considered. |
4/1 |

2nd 1 |
23rd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won two novice hurdles (2m3f/2m) for Alistair Ralph in 2023-24; struggled in first three runs for current yard but she showed signs of a revival when third of 12 at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last Saturday; was no match for the first two in that race but her mark continues to fall and she looks worth another try at this trip; could be dangerous. |
10/1 |

3rd 4 |
16th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |

Won two novice hurdles (2m3f/2m) for Alistair Ralph in 2023-24; rather disappointing since, including on her three starts for this yard after wind surgery last season (pulled up over fences last time); bit to prove. |

Weak 16-1 chance on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie) and never counted; cheekpieces are added. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Unexposed; second in two maiden hurdles (beaten 43l last time) but best effort when fifth in a Perth maiden in October (2m4f, soft); improvement likely on handicap debut with a tongue-tie tried; chance. |
8/1 |

2nd 2 |
10th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Didn't show a huge amount in two points; second of five at Plumpton on rules debut (2m4f, good); improved on that before running out of steam at Perth (2m4f, soft) last October when last seen; likely to need another significant step up to win this and a sound surface should help. |

Looked out of sorts when pulled up in two hurdle races this spring (wore cheekpieces last time) and his best Flat form has been shown on Polytrack; others have much less to prove. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
2m AW Flat winner for Tom Ward; unexposed as a hurdler, best run when 13l third in a Hereford novice in March (2m3f, good; wore a hood); wasn't suited by the drop back to 2m when pulled up on handicap debut last time; cheekpieces now tried again (no improvement with them on the Flat). |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has taken time to come to hand over hurdles but his recent third over 2m4f here last month represented by far his best effort, appreciating the better ground; opening mark is no gift, but he remains capable of better in this sphere; interesting contender. |

Third foal; half-brother to bumper winner Lionnar; dam unraced sister to winners Level Neverending (useful bumper/2m3f hurdle) and Kalopsia (bumper/1m4f Flat/2m hurdle), half-sister to useful bumper/2m-2m4f hurdle winner Lunar Display; well-bred newcomer and no surprise if he proved difficult to beat here. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |

Useful on the Flat in his prime but suffered heavy defeat in that sphere last month, after a layoff, and also struggled in a handicap hurdle three weeks ago; sports refitted cheekpieces; others have much less to prove. |

Seven-time Flat winner who has also scored over hurdles (2m1f, soft) and fences (2m, good); on dangerous mark back over jumps but he's not seen much action in the last 12 months and has been tailed off in his last two Flat runs; risks attached. |

Safely held in low-grade Flat handicap on stable debut in August but ran surprisingly well when 150-1 for hurdle return at Stratford last month, holding every chance before fading into fourth after final flight; has a fighting chance if in similar form here. |
