15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Always behind in his last two qualifying races but shaped with significant promise before last-flight mishap on hurdling debut at Ludlow (2m, good) in November and remains open to improvement on this handicap debut. |

Stayed on well to go close in his second Irish point (3m, good to yielding); since purchased by former jockey Paddy Brennan who has been recruiting well; respected. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 218y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Not seen on the Flat since narrow AW win over this trip in October but placed twice over hurdles in recent weeks; probably won't be far away. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
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. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Flat winner who is 0-6 over hurdles but he won on chase debut at Fakenham (2m, good) in May before a creditable third at Uttoxeter 11 days ago; did well to hang in there after being pestered for the lead last time and he's been an improved performer since switched to fences; respected. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Low-grade Flat winner; 0-6 over hurdles but made a successful chase debut at Fakenham when too good for Getaway Jewel and one other finisher; this is deeper and he's up 5lb. |

11st 6lb |
0-14; close third over 2m1f here in June and wasn't beaten that far on his return visit; could be a factor. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
0-13 over hurdles but bounced back from a poor run when close third of six over C&D (good) 11 days ago and remains on a good mark; no surprise if he's on the premises again. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Hasn't beaten a rival on the Flat this year since switching stables and has been well held in three hurdle starts, although he wasn't beaten far when sixth of nine here (2m) in May; moves up in trip for handicap hurdle debut with something to prove. |
33/1 |

1st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
7f win for Ed Walker as a 2yo; modest form on Flat and over hurdles for new yard this year; Royal Ascot was fanciful latest and although this is more realistic, others still bring more compelling claims. |

11st 8lb |
1m4f/1m6f wins for Charlie Johnston; now 0-11 over hurdles and was disappointing in a low-grade handicap here only recently; however, there is placed form in her record and she could have some part to play. |
7/1 |

4th 3 |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Three Flat wins in 2023; 0-10 over hurdles but was only reeled in late on under James Robottom here three weeks ago (2m1f, good); clear claims off 1lb higher. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Soundly beaten on both starts in cheekpieces (now removed) during the winter and now 0-13 over hurdles; returns from break on tempting mark and will be suited by this return to good ground but has a bit to prove. |
8/1 |

4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
5yo who made the frame a few times last season and his mark continues to fall, but he hasn't got competitive this term and remains a maiden. |
