2nd Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Got off the mark in a Fontwell juvenile last December (soft); second on his handicap debut at Plumpton (2m4f, good) in April, he fell early on next time and was pulled up following a bad error last time; still has time on his side and not out of this on this step up in trip. |

25th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Won a weak race here on hurdling debut in December; second under Ben Ffrench Davis at Plumpton (extended 2m4f, good) early last month in his first handicap but only four of five finished and he unseated early here on latest outing; early days but he probably needs some improvement. |

11st 10lb |
Won 2m novice last season but safely held in first two handicaps this term (1m7f/2m), then pulled up when upped to 2m4f last month; needs to get career back on track. |

17th Feb 2026 2m 4f 118y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Exeter novice winner (2m, heavy); hasn't looked on a good mark in his two handicaps and that could still be the case, though Murray Dodd claiming 7lb will help in that respect. |

21st Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Never really got competitive when 150-1 for C&D maiden on last month's hurdling debut but kept on well for second against own age-group at Chepstow (2m, heavy) a fortnight later and has scope for further progress. |

10st 4lb |
0-8 over hurdles and twice disappointing since a third of six at Newton Abbot in September (2m1f, good to soft); wouldn't be the obvious answer on this switch to fences. |

21st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
0-7 and down the field at Taunton in November last time, but looked stretched by 2m3f; prior to that he ran okay when third of six at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to soft); might have each-way chance now back down in trip. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 81y |
11st 4lb |
British challenger is 2-2 since tackling handicaps; won a three runner race at Doncaster (16.5f, gd-sft) off 106 then won in emphatic style at Wincanton upped to 2m4f (gd-sft) off 2lb higher; hiked up 10lb and moves up in grade but could be more to come; cheekpieces go on. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 179y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Built upon the promise shown in junior hurdles last year (including on soft ground) when winning on handicap/seasonal debut at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) in December; had just two rivals to beat on that occasion but the form still looks solid and he's open to further improvement for top yard. |

22nd Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 50y |
11st 12lb |
In fine form for local yard; won off 13lb lower over C&D (heavy) in November; career best off 103 when a 1.75l runner-up in a C&D Listed handicap hurdle in December, although form not working out so well; nudged up another 3lb but clearly loves it here and he's a huge player in this modest grade. |

Has shaped quite well on both starts over hurdles, last time finishing 2.25l second of five to an interesting prospect at Doncaster (2m, good to soft); should go well. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 50y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Sole defeat in her last four races came at the hands of a progressive horse at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft); shrugged aside that minor blip with a workmanlike win at Chepstow (2m3f, soft); 3lb rise isn't the end of the world. |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
The hat-trick bid came up shy at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft; after two months off) but only went up 2lb despite finishing well clear of the third, and behind a progressive winner; considered. |

2nd 11 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Bids for a hat-trick, having made all in mares' contests over 2m4f at Uttoxeter (soft) and Aintree (good to soft) in December, taking record to 3-8; upped in grade and goes back against males but is a progressive contender. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Off the mark at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) in January; inconsistent, however, and she was tailed off when tried over 3m at Doncaster on latest outing, despite the stamina in her family; connections turn to 7lb claimer. |
8/1 |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Third of 16 at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) in November on second handicap start and bounced back from lesser run to win at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) last month; has also shown promise elsewhere; her useful dam stayed 3m and is related to stayers and she could have more to offer now up in trip. |
9/1 |

1st 5 |
27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Two good efforts in the autumn included a close third of 11 finishers to Crossbeau over C&D (good to soft) but she finished remote at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft; has acted on that surface) in December; needs to return to earlier level. |
12/1 |
Verdict
As regards the runners with experience, Doncaster runner-up WALLQUATARI has a particularly good chance at the weights while Lenjoleur De Palma and C&D winner Blue Moon Lady are also in the mix. Henderson runner Laughing John (second choice) is a distinctly interesting type among the newcomers, about whom the betting should offer further guidance.[Steve Boow]
