2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
A regular here in this first season over fences and might have won for a second time in this discipline but for unseating three out over Christmas; never really sighted when 33-1 for the Jack Richards at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) in which he was 5lb out of the weights; retains potential and a tongue-tie is added. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
10st 6lb |
Has shown most of his form on Welsh tracks, latterly Chepstow since switched to chasing; ran well when bidding for a 2m3f double and was in a narrow lead, albeit being challenged, when falling three out last time; faces a much stiffer task from 5lb out of the weights at this level. |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Made a promising start over fences when runner-up here (2m5f, good to soft) in December but he flopped when favourite at Warwick (2m4f) later that month; still has low mileage but he's been up and down so far and needs to bounce back at this new trip. |

Both starts over 2m on heavy ground, finishing fourth in Uttoxeter bumper (for Mel Rowley) then sixth in Chepstow novice hurdle; needs major improvement on bare figures. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Chased home short-odds favourite in Ludlow novice (2m, good to soft) in February but safely held in both subsequent handicaps (2m3f/2m); needs a boost from the new cheekpieces here. |

6th 4 |
10th Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |

Best of the rest behind a long odds-on winner in Ludlow novice (2m, good to soft) in February; disappointing second favourite on handicap debut at Taunton (2m3f, good) one month ago but the trip might have stretched him. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Only stepped up to 3m in his last three races and went close in two of those; looked as though he'd win at Newbury last time (good to soft) only to get outbattled; the cheekpieces could be significant. |
2/1 |

2nd 4 |
20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Won seasonal/handicap debut at Newton Abbot (extended 2m6f, good to soft) in October; good C&D third (soft) next time but a flop as favourite at Doncaster (3m, good) in December when last seen; needs to resume improvement. |
6/1 |

1st 3 |
29th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 122y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Bumper winner who made the breakthrough over hurdles when landing a maiden at Exeter (2m5f, good) in March; had to work hard to seal the deal in that match but he's still unexposed in this sphere and should have more to offer in handicaps this season; had wind surgery since last run. |

11st 11lb |
Runner-up at Warwick (2m5f, good to soft) in December on second handicap start and bounced back from lesser run to win at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) last month; up 5lb but he's still unexposed and is open to more progress in staying handicaps; big player. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |

December's Warwick 2m5f handicap second (good to soft) suggested he has races in him, but he didn't improve for a stayers' trip as expected back there latest; form of 2m6f maiden third on sole previous visit here a year ago needs improving on significantly. |

11st 7lb |
Kept on for third in soft-ground Down Royal bumper for Gordon Elliott in 2023 but left that stable after two very disappointing runs; now back over hurdles for new yard; hooded for first time; probably best watched. |

Off a reduced mark she finally showed more when a 3l third over 3m at Southwell last month (good) and she would appear to have found her level; respected. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |

1st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |

Seven-race maiden; edging down the weights and has shown her stamina over 3m2f at Hereford (soft/good) but others look more compelling for the win; 7lb claimer replaces 3lb claimer. |

31st Dec 2024 Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Second in an Irish point; returning from 564 days away, she went off 12-1 for a 2m3f maiden at Lingfield and ended up tailed off; perhaps one for handicaps. |
33/1 |
Verdict
Having bounced back last time, J J MOON could well build on that effort and open his hurdles account. Ben Solo (second choice) and Libre De Choeur are the chief threats on form. The market signals should be helpful with regard to rules debutant Pragnell.[Steve Boow]
