14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Won easily on handicap debut at Bangor (2m3f, soft) in November and has continued in good form, finishing third of 15 at Windsor (3m, soft) latest; he has something to find if his opponents are at their best but that isn't guaranteed, and his current wellbeing and proven stamina are both positives. |

18th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Has a solid overall record; fairly useful form switched to handicaps (at about 2m4f on soft) this term, winning by wide margin at Bangor then solid third at Newbury; remains open to further progress; major contender, provided he stays this new trip. |

Reappeared with all-the-way win in Bangor novice (2m7f, soft) and bounced back from chase debut flop with well-held second in novice hurdle at Leicester (2m4f, heavy), behind subsequent Grade 2 runner-up Ubatuba; this unexposed 7yo has potential off his current mark, especially now up in trip. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
0-5 over hurdles but a different proposition since switch to fences and fitted with cheekpieces, winning his last three, all right-handed and the latest by a wide margin when left clear mid-race at Hereford (2m5f, soft); 8lb rise in the weights will ask a question now back up in class, but still respected. |

1st 1 |
26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 194y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
0-5 over hurdles last term but has got his act together over fences since the application of cheekpieces and adopting front-running tactics, getting off the mark at Ludlow (2m4f, good to soft) last month and following up at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft) 17 days ago; 6lb rise makes it tougher but looks sure to be the one to catch. |

16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Winning pointer who shaped with significant promise on first two hurdling starts, more recently when fifth of 14 in Wetherby maiden (2m3f, soft) in February; worth keeping an eye on with the future in mind but seems an unlikely winner today. |

Bought for £72,000 after winning a British maiden point (2m4f, good to soft); on the retreat when taking a heavy late fall at Warwick when 28-1 for a 2m5f maiden (good to soft); tongue-tie now added; perhaps best watched. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Seemingly boosted by new cheekpieces when placed twice at Ludlow (2m5f, good) in the autumn; has claims if judged on those efforts but finished tired on soft ground last month and is now 0-11 over hurdles. |

Ten-race maiden who is struggling to gain a foothold in handicaps and these aids when worn separately have offered little previously. |

Unplaced all six hurdle starts for Micky Hammond last season and tailed off for new stable at Stratford (2m, good to firm; tongue-tie added) last month; needs this much longer trip to show her in a much better light. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Early casualty behind Touquet two runs ago and 2m3f looked too far for him last time out, but he appeared value for a greater rise than 5lb for his Lingfield success (2m, good to soft; Touquet over 1l third) before all of that; remains of interest. |

9th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 51y Class 5 |

Off the mark on third chase start when scoring at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) in December; fair run over this trip at Ffos Las on previous start but he fell last time out; a possible on earlier form. |

In good form over fences here since wind op in April, most notably when winning over 3m1f (good) three weeks ago; should be fine back over this hurdles and over this shorter trip; respected in current mood. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Won twice over hurdles at Cartmel in 2025; following a wind operation, he's finished runner-up in 3m1f/2m5f handicap chases here, last time only reeled in late on; clear claims off an untouched mark. |

Both wins over hurdles were here; runner-up in two of his four chase starts, the latest here on Saturday when no match for the winner over 3m1f; fine over this far and has clear claims. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |

Consolidated rather than improved upon previous best efforts during last season, despite the addition of cheekpieces; remains on a tempting mark, but significant rain wouldn't be welcomed. |
