19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won a point in the spring and is 2-4 since returned to racing under rules for new stable, the latter win gained off today's mark on chasing debut here (2m6f, good to firm) a week ago; likes to make the running, and could be hard to catch on this quick return to hurdling. |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won the second of two points in April before being sold for £10,000; got off the mark over hurdles at Southwell (3m, good) last month when making all; well held at Worcester subsequently but must be of interest on chasing debut. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Three-time hurdle winner, all at around this trip on good ground; he needs things to fall right and remains on a challenging mark, though a reproduction of his Southwell second last month would give him place claims. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |

9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Unexposed 5yo who was clear second when upped to 3m1f and fitted with first-time cheekpieces for last month's handicap debut at Warwick (good); could still have more to offer; high on the list. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
9th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 5 |

Made a promising start in bumpers but has shown little in three runs over hurdles; still early days and wears first-time cheekpieces on handicap debut up in trip; may well show improvement. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |

Started off well as he was second on bumper debut and then beaten only 6l in a Listed event; however, now has a regressive profile and needs to get back on track. |

Won off a 7lb lower mark at Newcastle in March (2m4f, good to soft); fair run when fourth stepped up to 3m at Southwell last time; each-way chance. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Came good over hurdles at 14th attempt, with clear success at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in March, but ran poorly when dropped back to 2m last month and it's hard to know what to expect from him on first attempt at 3m under rules. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Came good over hurdles at 14th attempt, with clear success at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in March; should be okay back at 2m on this stiff track but 7lb rise demands more from him. |

Beaten 9l and 5l when twice runner-up in May but didn't appear to give his true running when a beaten favourite at Southwell (behind Indian Sunbird); could be given another chance. |
7/1 |

5th 3 |
9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Came from off the pace to take second twice last month (2m4f/2m3f, good; tongue-tie added), after a long layoff, and is likely to be suited by this move back up in trip; must be considered. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 10 |
23rd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Record of 1-18 over hurdles but he returned after 510 days off with a second at Southwell (2m4f, good) two weeks ago; that was a good effort behind an improver and he's a player if he can build on that. |

11st 6lb |
Won over 2m3f on hurdle debut in April 2025 but lightly raced and disappointing since; positives can be drawn from last month's reappearance sixth at Southwell (3m, good) but he needs to have come on for the run. |

0-6 over hurdles but put in good front-running shift when third at Fakenham (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie) last month and is open to more improvement over this longer trip. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Unplaced all five hurdling starts but was given a lot to do before keeping on steadily for fifth of 13 on handicap debut at Stratford (2m2f, good) a fortnight ago; remains open to improvement and is one to watch closely in the betting; tongue-tie added. |
5/1 |

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

Did not get seriously competitive in four 2m novice hurdles, although attracted the stewards' attention when making steady late headway on one occasion; up in trip for handicap debut; worth a glance in the betting. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Drew clear to clear by 9l over C&D (good) in April, his third hurdling success, and is now only 2lb above that mark but looked out of sorts on his latest outing and is not one to rely upon heavily. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Showed career-best form when scoring by 9l at Stratford (3m2f, good) in April and also has a C&D success on his CV but was unable to land a telling blow on his two starts at Hexham last month and needs to kick on again to overcome current mark. |
12/1 |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Reliable 6yo who has continued in good heart since scoring at Catterick (3m1f, good) in January and produced a career-best when back on the scoresheet at Stratford (3m2f, good) last month; failed to land a blow over C&D latest and has something to find with My Boy Christy, though he remains one for the shortlist in the context of the race. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |

0-13 over hurdles; ran a big race at a massive price when fourth in a Fontwell maiden (2m3f, good to soft) last month but her mark shot up 41lb after that and she struggled back in a handicap at Fontwell (2m5f) last week; opposable. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
