31st Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 103y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
All four wins in the mud and the latest was from the front on heavy ground at this track (2m4f) last February; made a creditable chase/seasonal debut over 3m in December but two muted performances (chase/hurdles) have followed and a big revival is needed in the first-time headgear. |

Dual hurdle/bumper winner on soft/heavy ground and could be happy to see the back of fences (last two runs); he's not handicapped out of it. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Dual chase winner who got himself back on track in the new cheekpieces when third to The Boola Boss at Chepstow; no good thing to reverse those placings despite a 5lb pull on the winner but definite each-way chance. |
6/1 |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Acts on good and soft ground; won two chase handicaps at Hereford (3m1f) late in 2025 but he's struggled in his last two starts; still has potential in this sphere but he needs to get back on track with cheekpieces added. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 93y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Very lightly raced 7yo who had wind surgery after a disappointing chase debut and then showed plenty more when a keeping-on fourth in a competitive Class 3 handicap here three weeks ago (good to soft); surely has more to offer. |
7/1 |
|

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Lightly raced 7yo; soundly beaten in sole start this season (chase debut; had wind surgery since) but may do better still and can't be written off; returns to the scene of his hurdles win. |
10/1 |

13th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 173y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Point runner-up who capitalised on the clear leader's fall to win on hurdle debut at Newbury (2m, soft) in December, before fair third at Hereford (2m5f, soft) last month; he could do with settling better than last time but it looked a good race and he could have potential off his opening mark. |

17th Mar 2025 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Irish maiden point winner who was pulled up on hurdle debut in November but offered something to work with, having been given wind surgery, when fourth at Hereford (2m6f, soft) in January; open to progress but probably one for handicaps in due course. |
12/1 |

15th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 5f 163y Class 4 |

Not sure he achieved all that much in winning an Irish point and those doubts now have substance after a forgettable hurdling debut; had wind surgery since. |

27th Mar 2025 Good 2m 5f 0y Class 4 |

There have been glimmers of promise in his three races (2m-2m5f) but he needs to raise his game to trouble the best of these. |

21st Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |

Hinted at some ability in a bumper at Warwick and novice hurdle at Hereford (2m6f, soft; 33-1) but others have much more solid claims. |

11th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |

Seven-race maiden who has inconsistent form but may show improvement for this switch to fences and return to Hereford; has recorded his best hurdles RPRs at this venue. |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Lightly raced 7yo; tailed off on handicap/seasonal debut (2m7f, soft) but, although he clearly needs a good deal better still, his sixth of 11 at Hereford (3m2f, soft; 7-1) six weeks ago was more like it. |

Has yet to fire over hurdles and well held in a Hereford handicap last time despite attracting interest in the market; that was over 2m and he's not bred to stay this far. |

Placed here in a soft-ground bumper but yet to really find his level over hurdles; pulled up on handicap debut (2m4f, good to soft) at Southwell latest; drops 4lb; more needed. |
