7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Returned from long absence with good-ground wins at Market Rasen and Warwick for new stable last month; should cope if the ground is softer here and might still be on the upgrade; must be considered. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Made light of a 538-day absence to win for the first time on his stable debut at Market Rasen (2m, good) 12 days ago; handicapper has reacted by raising him 9lb but that may not be enough to stop him following up. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |

Offered nothing during the briefest of comebacks in autumn 2024, and another long absence since; now 25lb lower than when first entering handicaps, however, and remains in the same ownership now as then; check for market confidence ahead of this stable debut. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Built on the promise of his seasonal return when a close second at Warwick (2m, good) last month, despite making a mistake at the last; a 5lb rise asks a little more, though Lewis Stones's 3lb claim helps offset that, and he still looks favourably treated on his best Flat form; with further progress likely, he's high on the shortlist. |

Sole success came on the Flat in a Sandown maiden in 2023 when trained by Alan King; beaten 29l on stable debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good) 18 days ago in his first handicap hurdle; best watched. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
15-race maiden under all codes but has reached the frame on all three occasions since switched to handicap hurdles; down another 1lb and back in trip, but needs to find more to open his account. |
7/1 |

4th 6 |
1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Third in both his handicaps and finished with a rattle in the latest at Perth (2m, good); on the back of that and raised in distance, he's firmly in the reckoning. |
11/4 |

3rd 8 |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Over 8l behind Alibaba when third at Warwick (2m, good; refitted cheekpieces) last month but that was still a pretty good start to his handicap hurdle career and further progress is possible. |

Showed modest form for Max Young, including in two handicaps; it will be interesting to see if the switch to this major stable can eke out any improvement; betting may well be significant. |

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 |

9th 2 (8) |
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 |

6th 3 |
20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
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. |

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

Modest form in five runs over hurdles, pulled up in handicaps on last two; first-time tongue-tie worn last time is persevered with, joined by first-time blinkers; hard to fancy. |
20/1 |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |

Modest form in four starts over hurdles, latest when pulled up at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in March on handicap debut; first-time tongue-tie is now fitted on this step up in trip; hard to fancy. |

11th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 145y Class 5 |

Yet to make the frame in a trio of runs over hurdles, seventh in 2m Hereford novice four weeks ago; needs this switch to handicaps to spark some progress. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Three wins on the Flat; 0-8 as a jumper but was clear of the rest when a 7l runner-up at Stratford (2m, good) recently and something similar will see him on the scene. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Three-time Flat winner; returned from break with disappointing run four weeks ago but was close up in two handicap hurdles (both 2m, good) in this month last year and has good claims if back on song. |
9/2 |
|
8th 2 |
20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

All three wins under rules on AW Flat; returns from a break and best watched unless the market speaks favourably. |
