12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Regained the winning thread at Leicester (2m6f) in January but back on the regress since, having performed below market expectations at Ffos Las (only third of four finishers) and Leicester (ran dismally). |
10/1 |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Added a second course win when back on track in cheekpieces over 2m6f (good to soft) in January but, while running creditably off 5lb higher, failed to quite match that level when third at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) last month; respected back at this venue on better ground; now tried in blinkers, with Rian Corcoran's claim a plus. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Chase career started well with two wins (2m4f; heavy/soft) and got it back on track when making it 2-3 at Leicester a month ago, winning by 2.5l (2m6f, good to soft); has form claims off 5lb higher but some concerns that he pulled up on previous visit here. |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Won at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last March and he finished in the first three in his next five starts; still looks on workable mark but he had a rare blip at Windsor (2m6f, soft) last month and he's never raced at shorter than 2m3f; bit to prove and others are preferred. |
9/2 |

7th 11 |
16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 6f 50y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Consistent sort who won at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last March and has been in the first three on all five starts since, most recently runner-up here (2m4f, good); stays this far and versatile ground-wise; each-way player. |
10/1 |

29th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
First-time blinkers did the trick when scoring at Fontwell (2m3f, good) in March and he was short of room at a crucial stage when close third at Plumpton (2m4f) the following month; now 8lb higher than for his last win but he's a reliable type who still has potential in this sphere; respected on his return. |

16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
11-race maiden with six of those coming over fences; mark continues to slide and he has the odd bit of form that suggests he could be competitive, particularly if the tongue-tie/cheekpieces prove a positive addition. |

31st Jan 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Runner-up three times as a juvenile hurdler in France but, following a long absence, has not shown a great deal on his four British starts; the last three of those were over fences. |

20th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Runner-up at Plumpton (2m3f, good to soft) in December and respectable fourth in his last two runs but this 13yo is now 1-24 over fences and that win was over two years ago; down the list. |

4th 11 |
31st Jan 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Veteran who scored over hurdles here (heavy) in 2019 and broke a long losing run two years ago over fences at Plumpton; no joy since but, even though he's 2lb out of the weights today, he's regularly shown enough to be given a place chance. |

23rd Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Won off a career-low chase mark at Fontwell (3m2f, good; refitted cheekpieces) in November and slower ground wouldn't have been ideal the last twice; none too reliable these days at the best of times. |
12/1 |

5th 5 |
31st Jan 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Very inconsistent this season and his win at Fontwell (good ground; 5lb higher today) on penultimate start was over 3m2f; his soft-ground form was two years ago and he pulled up on his only appearance on heavy. |

2m4f hurdle and 2m7f chase winner (both good to soft); has struggled with consistency, but a leading player if reproducing his latest third of eight at Exeter last month. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |

2m4f hurdle and 2m7f chase winner (both good to soft); versatile regarding going but yet to race on good to firm; on a competitive mark if he can shrug off a lesser effort over C&D latest. |

12st 0lb |
Course winner who was in good form until a below-par fifth of six in 2m Warwick handicap chase 16 days ago; cheekpieces go on now and she's the sort to bounce back. |
7/4 |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won two 2m chases last season (soft/good) and this season's largely consistent record includes a good second over C&D; current mark is workable; likely to be in the shake-up. |
5/2 |

2nd 1 |
24th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Largely consistent efforts this term, most recently close second at Lingfield (2m) behind a rival who was completing a hat-trick; won this race in 2024 (on heavy ground) and has solid claims despite being on a much higher mark now. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |

Sole success over hurdles came in January 2024 when trained by Archie Watson; she has offered little in three runs for current yard and it's easy to look elsewhere. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |

Left Archie Watson after string of disappointing runs last season and dropped out very tamely on last month's stable debut at Carlisle (2m1f, soft); needs to turn a corner. |

8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Put in pretty good front-running shift when third over C&D (good to soft) 12 days ago but he's a lot more exposed than some of these, and his two hurdling wins were gained on heavy ground. |
7/1 |

3rd 8 |
27th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Tailed off last time but had appreciated the return to hurdles with a second here (beaten 16l) before a 3l success at Lingfield (2m, heavy); he's able on good to soft ground if he can shrug aside that poor last run. |
7/1 |

4th 6 |
22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Badly out of form over fences last season but made all in a five-runner hurdle race at Lingfield (2m, heavy) this month, after a layoff, and remains on a good mark after 3lb rise; unexposed over this sort of trip; big player if able to build on that recent performance. |

Held on gamely to make all at Newton Abbot (2m5f, heavy) in April and returned from break in even better form ten days ago, drawing clear to score by 7l over C&D (soft); commands respect under 7lb penalty. |
