24th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Dual hurdle winner on slow ground; safely held on chasing debut in November and well beaten when back over hurdles in February; back from another three-month break with cheekpieces refitted; others have much less to prove. |

10st 13lb |
Mark and ground both fine, but have to hope confidence hasn't been dented by being brought down two starts back and enduring a rough race on November's chasing debut; unraced over this short since autumn 2024. |

3rd May 2025 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Won at Fontwell (3m2f, heavy) last spring and was also narrowly successful at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) in November; should appreciate the return to this sort of trip and a new headgear combination is given a go but he could do with rain. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Bagged a fourth success of the season at Chepstow (2m3f) in February; seemed unsuited by dropping back to 2m when a solid fourth of ten at Hereford 13 days ago and not out of things over this more suitable distance. |
12/1 |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Won three in a row in November/December (2m3f-2m4f) and scored at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) in February; well-held fourth eight days later at Ffos Las, possibly finding the quick turnaround too much; may resume progress, though the drop in trip is a slight concern. |

Won three in a row in November/December (2m3f-2m4f) and took his form to another new level when battling on well to score at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) eight days ago; latest 4lb rise does not look excessive and further progress is not out of the question. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
6yo who made it 2-12 over hurdles when winning in good style here in June; up 9lb but it was even more emphatic when disposing of 11 rivals on his chase debut back here (also 2m4f, good) on Sunday; same mark today and he stays this trip; the one to beat. |

6yo who made it 2-12 over hurdles when winning in good style here (2m4f, good) in June; also effective on soft/good to soft; not bred for fences but he's in good hands and is respected on his debut in this sphere. |

Mark over a stone in excess of that for last June's Uttoxeter win (2m4f, good) is owed to some good runs in defeat since; 142-day absence won't be an issue judged on last October's effort after similar. |

Dual C&D winner (soft/good) but not since December 2022, and is very inconsistent nowadays; tailed off at Stratford on latest outing in early July; 1lb wrong today; others have more pressing claims. |

Well beaten in all three hurdle races this season and now 0-12 in that sphere; swaps usual cheekpieces for first-time visor on this chasing debut; 4lb out of the weights; difficult to enthuse over. |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 110y Class 5 |

Maiden who would come into it on his best staying hurdle form but his chase efforts don't compare, including when soundly beaten on the return to fences at Fontwell last time out. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |

0-7 over hurdles; ran well when clear third here (3m2f, good) in May but has fitness to prove after five-month break and today's drop back in trip may not be ideal; others preferred. |

A soft-ground hurdle winner off this mark at Taunton last February for previous stable but well held on all starts this season for current connections, latest when pulled up back at Taunton last month; sliding down the weights but doesn't look like capitalising on that anytime soon. |

11st 0lb |
Just 1-17 over hurdles, the win gained at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last summer, but she made a satisfactory reappearance last month and her current mark is workable; considered each-way. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Opened account at Newton Abbot (2m6f, good) last July and runner-up in three of her four starts since, at up to 3m3f; on the premises on that evidence but the 163 days off ask a question. |

Runner-up twice at Stratford (3m2f/2m6f) since holding on well to open account at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in July; evidently in good nick and won't mind if the ground softens; leading contender. |
