28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Displayed considerable improvement when winning easily by 12l on last month's handicap hurdle debut at Hereford (2m, good); managed only third under 7lb penalty here (2m2f, good) eight days later and is another 5lb higher today, but he moves up in trip again and remains of interest. |

Fair maiden on the Flat who greatly advanced his form on his handicap hurdle debut when scoring easily at Hereford (2m) eight days ago; major shout under a 7lb penalty. |

10st 13lb |
Won at Southwell (2m, good) in October but looked set to be second when left in the lead at Bangor; however, only 2lb higher now and he reportedly finished lame in November on his final run. |

27th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 5 |

Watch the weather as all his best form is on good ground, including latest comfortable win at Southwell (2m); could deal with the 6lb rise under suitable conditions. |

Four chase wins last season and he's well handicapped on his best form; however, he's struggled this term; cheekpieces go on. |

Four chase wins last season and well handicapped on his best form; however, pulled up on first two runs this term and 200-1 when unseating early at Ludlow last month; plenty to prove. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Hit prolonged flat spots before keeping on for modest fourth over 2m on latest two appearances, the latest at Warwick this month; on a good mark now and this step back up in trip could be the right move but it remains to be seen whether Jack Quinlan can keep him in touch this time. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 4 |

Only 1-9 over fences but runner-up four times; seems best at Doncaster but on a fair mark and he's able when fresh; Cobden booked. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Very inconsistent for Dan Skelton last season but ran well from the front when third here (2m4f, good) on stable debut three weeks ago and won't mind if the ground is much slower today (has won on heavy); unexposed over this sort of trip; a possible if in the right mood again. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Heavy-ground 2m hurdle winner when with Dan Skelton; changed hands for 1,000gns since being beaten more than 16l in a Stratford seller in March; 2lb lower for chase debut but can only suggest a watching brief at present. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
£130,000 buy after runner-up in an Irish point in 2023 and showed promise over hurdles, but his two efforts since switched to fences/handicaps this year have been disappointing; wore this headgear when a remote fourth of four at Wetherby (3m, good to soft) in March and has since undergone wind surgery. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Point runner-up who also showed ability over hurdles; tailed off at 17-2 on last month's chase/handicap debut at Chepstow but that was his first run since last April and he may have needed it; wears first-time cheekpieces and the step up in trip could be a firm plus; interesting for in-form yard. |

Four-times winning hurdler making a belated debut over fences after six-month break; hard to fancy unless there is a move in the market. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |

3-6 since returning from long absence for new stable this spring; only fourth off today's mark at Worcester (2m, good) last month but possibly had a bit too much use made of him there; remains very much of interest. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Good-ground bumper winner who has made the frame on all five hurdling starts, most recently when third of 13 (just behind Lady Kara) in Stratford maiden (2m, good) a fortnight ago; her tendency to race too freely remains a nagging concern but she's a contender if her stamina holds out over this new trip. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |

Good-ground bumper winner who has made the frame on all four hurdling starts; managed only fourth of six on handicap debut at Fakenham (2m, soft) in December but the forecast faster ground here ought to suit better; shortlisted. |

11st 0lb |
0-6 over hurdles, having been well beaten in three handicaps this spring (2m1f-2m4f; cheekpieces added last time); last year's Irish point second offers a ray of hope on this chasing debut but it still takes a big leap of faith to support him. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Hasn't raised his modest profile in two handicaps, pulling up in both; the tongue-tie tried last time is joined by cheekpieces; risky. |

10st 3lb |
Well-bred mare; kept on for a respectable third on handicap hurdle debut at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) last month and shaped reasonably well on chase debut at Stratford (2m1f, good to firm) where she jumped soundly; pedigree suggests this longer trip should suit and a first-time hood may also eke out a little more, now eased 2lb. |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |

Well-bred mare; made a low-key start to her hurdling career but kept on for respectable third on recent handicap hurdle debut at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) and could easily have more to offer over fences. |
