3rd 9 |
21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Upwardly mobile 6yo; won three handicaps in 2025 and posted another personal best when beaten a head at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) last month, pulling well clear of the third; strong candidate off just 2lb higher. |
4/1 |

27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Progressive 6yo who made it 3-3 in handicaps when keeping on strongly to lead close home on seasonal debut at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) in November; fell mid-race last month but remains very much of interest. |

27th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |

Displayed big jolt of improvement on handicap debut 23 days ago, winning readily over C&D (soft); went up 8lb for that but could still have a lot more to offer; good chance. |

6th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
0-17 but she was a fair third on her first two starts this year (2m5f/2m3f, soft) then went close off this mark when upped to 3m at Taunton (heavy) last Thursday; also effective on good to soft; she could have more to offer over this sort of trip and is one to consider in first-time cheekpieces. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
13-race maiden who has been pulled up in both runs over fences (2m3f) and was tailed off back over hurdles at Exeter (2m, good) last time; opposable. |
33/1 |
|
5th 8 |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 161y Class 5 |

Placed in a bumper and a novices' hurdle (heavy) when with Seamus Mullins; has failed to complete in all three starts for his current trainer. |

11st 9lb |
After being placed 12 times he gained an overdue success around here (2m3f, good) in March; let down by his jumping at Warwick since but looks sure to be thereabouts. |
7/4 |
|
3rd 2 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Mostly consistent in defeat over hurdles and the same again over fences until digging the deepest under a positive ride at Stratford (2m3f, good; first-time cheekpieces); must have every chance off 4lb higher. |
4/1 |
|
1st 5 |
28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Consistent over hurdles/fences but she's still to register a victory, runner-up for the third time this season in 2m Leicester handicap chase in December; can't be discounted after a break with cheekpieces added, though. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Two wins over fences at about 2m4f (soft and heavy) during early 2024; hasn't matched that in ten starts since and was never competitive when pulled up at Ffos Las (2m, soft) on his reappearance ten days ago; new headgear combination needs to spark a revival. |
12/1 |
|
5th 1 |
10th Apr 2025 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
2-13 over fences, with the wins over about 2m4f in the mud last February and March; second off a career-low mark at Lingfield (2m, soft) this February, followed by a respectable show in first-time cheekpieces, but today's trip and forecast good ground both ask major questions. |

Maiden who fell in consecutive chases last autumn and was tailed off in 3m handicap hurdle on latest outing in November; has something to prove after a layoff; had wind surgery in March. |

7th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
0-13 over hurdles but was runner-up three consecutive times in the spring (2m3f-2m7f, good); in contention for a place behind a handicap blot before penultimate-fence fall on last month's chasing debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good); good chance here if his confidence has not been dented. |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |

Has shown only the odd sign of ability over hurdles and pulled up on chase debut last month; 5lb out of the handicap back hurdling; cheekpieces (tried once) join the tongue-tie of last three starts. |
