23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Bagged a four-timer (around 2m) over hurdles/fences last winter; not at her best of late though and finished a remote second in 2m Hexham seller three weeks ago on her final run for Jennie Candlish; more needed in refitted cheekpieces for her new handler. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Four wins over hurdles and fences in 2025 (about 2m2f; ground ranging from good to soft); not in the same form since returning from a layoff in January, including in a Stratford seller in March, but this is easier and she's a viable option. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Landed maiden hunter chase at Cartmel in May 2023 and a prolific winner in points with 12 wins in that sphere; beat two rivals in a point at Stafford Cross 13 days ago and she should go close. |
4/5 |
|
2nd 5 |
30th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Cartmel maiden hunter winner two years ago at this trip, and largely irresistible in points since (has won last six, all under Anna Johnston); small bit to find with Captain Tommy on their March Ludlow clash, but in better heart than that one now and recent Cheltenham third was a tidy run. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
In good form for Alison Thorpe in early part of last season, notably when winning at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good); yet fully to convince stamina-wise at around 3m and has fitness to prove on this stable debut (same owners) but Sean Bowen (who has won on him before) is booked; swaps visor for first-time blinkers. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Only seen twice since making all in a 2m4f open point under Imogen Mathias one year ago, and would have run the winner closer than around 3l at Newton Abbot latest (2m5f, good to soft) but for whacking two out; 1lb rise is very fair. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
0-12 over hurdles and, while there have been hints of encouragement off a sliding mark, he hasn't looked like capitalising and now faces a stiff task from out of the weights on chase debut. |
16/1 |

4th 3 |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
0-14 under rules; sliding in the weights in four starts for this trainer and those efforts suggest he'll need a further favour or two from the handicapper to break his duck. |

3rd Mar 2024 Soft 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Fifth foal; closely related to 2m4f chase winner Thunder In Milan, half-brother to very useful chaser Kiltealy Briggs; dam unraced sister to Grand National winner Ballabriggs; likely to need longer trips to be seen to best effect and probably best watched on debut. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Two more chase wins in 2025, the latest at Windsor (3m, good to soft; suited by good) in November; often battled with unsuitable ground over the winter but 4lb lower than at Windsor so has a weights chance. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 7 |
9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Has five wins over fences including one over C&D; below form on his last two starts but may show improvement on this better ground. |
