11th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
A dual 2m hurdles winner last season; nowhere near that form sent chasing this season, a remote fourth of six in 2m handicap here 48 days ago; others appeal more. |
10/1 |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Won two handicap hurdles (2m, good to soft/good) towards end of last season but has not really convinced on his three chasing starts this term, with best run coming in race in which half the fences were omitted; the forecast ground here might be slower than ideal; others preferred. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Ended last season in good form, most notably when opening rules account at Newcastle (2m, good to soft), and was seemingly in process of running well before falling at Cartmel last month, after a break; no surprise if he features. |
8/1 |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Came good over fences at Newcastle (2m, good to soft) in March, her sixth attempt, and made brave bid from the front before fading into fourth at Warwick (2m, good) in April; big player if in same form after break. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Eight-race maiden who has been well held in two handicaps for his current yard and latest was at Wetherby (2m5f, good) in October; tongue-tie is now added and he needs to significantly raise his game after a break. |
25/1 |

31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 56y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
May have needed the run after a break when beaten 26l on handicap/stable debut at Hexham (2m4f, good) and was short in the betting at 9-2; remains relatively unexposed. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Unplaced all six hurdling starts for Billy Aprahamian, the latest in May (sold for £5,500 soon afterwards); needs significant improvement on this stable/chase debut but good market support will make him of interest. |
15/2 |
|
7th 7 |
20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
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. |

2nd 7 |
1st Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Off two years, made an encouraging start for Ben Case with second of seven in 2m6f handicap chase at Fontwell 34 days ago; can't be ruled out off the same mark in his bid for a maiden chasing success. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Absent since respectable fifth at Worcester (2m7f, good) for owner-trainer two years ago but resumes on a good mark and is worth a glance in the betting before this first run for Ben Case. |
10/1 |
