20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 93y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Weakened to be beaten 22l last time at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) and all his three wins have been at about 2m; wouldn't be the obvious answer no matter how well the new headgear works. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won for the third time over fences at Worcester in October (2m, good; by 18l); has a chance on that run but best form has been at shorter (jumped poorly when well beaten on last completed run at 2m4f); acts on good to soft but he's not a real mudlark. |

Consistent sort who won twice over fences last term; stable's first runner over fences this season and may have more to give. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
In excellent form over fences since undergoing a second breathing operation, scoring at Wincanton (2m4f) in February before a clear second of seven over that C&D last month; up 2lb but that form is working out well so he's a big player. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Pulled up in his first two starts this season but he returned after another wind operation with a win over C&D (good to soft; tongue-tie added; Hatos second) in February; up 6lb but he remains feasibly treated and has claims if he can back up that last run. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Went close here (about 2m, good to soft) in December 2024 but he's 0-9 over fences and his two runs this term have been troubling; has his first start following wind surgery, with a tongue-tie joining the cheekpieces of latest start; needs a revival. |

11th May 2025 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won at Worcester (2m, good) last June and continued in good form in the autumn; made early mistakes when 11l fourth on chase debut at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) in December; off since but ran well after a 107-day break last September and he could be in the mix. |

11st 12lb |
Placed on last two starts, though was some 23l and 11l behind the winners (tried a visor last time); still needs a second look with him back in some sort of form and he goes well in the mud. |

2-14 over hurdles; suited by this C&D but absent since a below-par run in April and others in this line-up have much more potential. |

10th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Low-mileage 6yo; below form when when favourite for 1m7f handicap chase in December but evidently well suited by combination of hike up in trip and return to hurdling when close second at Doncaster (3m, good) last month; must be considered. |

19th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
6yo who kept on well for close fourth on his handicap and chase debut at Taunton (2m2f, good to soft) in November; failed to back that up at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) but this 3m point runner-up could be suited by the step up in trip now back hurdling; intriguing contender. |

Inconsistent but has frame possibilities provided latest effort (ran creditably) is backed up; one of only two runners who already have winning form over fences. |

19th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 212y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Trailed Dunstall Rambler and Haafback on Wincanton's chasing debut, but he wasn't done with when falling two out at Sedgefield latest, despite which he's eased 2lb more; not ruled out; blinkers replace visor. |

Runner-up off 3lb higher over hurdles at Ffos Las last May but pulled up in November and tailed off when 40-1 at Wincanton on last month's chase debut; dramatic improvement is needed in a first-time visor. |

Finished second in 2m1f-2m6f chase contests on last three starts in France; sold for 130,000euros and had wind surgery since; likely player provided she maintains the consistency on British debut. |
