10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Just nabbed on his chase debut (good) in October but stayed on strongly to pick up Newbury Grade 2 (also 2m4f, good to soft; Regent's Stroll third, Crest Of Fortune fourth) the following month; outpaced throughout but never stopped trying when third in Kempton Grade 1 (3m, good; Salver fourth, Crest Of Fortune behind) over Christmas and that was also the case until he fell at the last when 6l down in the Brown Advisory (3m1f, good to soft; Salver third) last month; solid claims. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Fifth in last year's Albert Bartlett here and very smart form over fences, winning Grade 2 at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) in November; easy winner of novice at Ayr (3m, soft) 41 days ago and looks the best of the British hopes, although he may find one or two too good unless he improves again. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Yet to score in this sphere but has made the frame on both starts since fitted with blinkers, albeit remote when third of six in 3m1f Catterick handicap chase 36 days ago; possibilities. |

3rd 6 |
24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Two novice hurdle wins last term (2m/2m4f, good) and he returned to form in first-time blinkers when going close here (2m3f, soft) last month on third chase start; kept on well last time so this step up in trip is worth a go; could have a part to play if the blinkers maintain their effect. |

30th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 51y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Two-time novice hurdle winner (2m/2m4f, good), the latest last March; however, he's struggled since, including on both chase starts; the first-time blinkers need to prompt a major turnaround. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
RPR of 99 for his early-2025 Wetherby novice third (2m4f, soft) increasingly looks an outlier; wind surgery hasn't been able to prevent two further weak finishes since, and hopes now rest with the tongue-tie. |

28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Placed in a pair of 2m4f Wetherby novice hurdles in 2024-25; very lightly raced since and has failed to go on, undergoing breathing surgery before coming in a well-held fifth of seven in 2m4f Sedgefield handicap 18 days ago; not easy to make a case for. |

Absent since very disappointing seasonal/chase debut in November (had wind op soon afterwards) and not easy to weigh up here but all three hurdle runs last season (2m3f-2m4f) were encouraging and he remains lightly raced. |

Ran a tad better in his second handicap hurdle last time at Stratford (2m2f, good) and the runner-up made all there on Saturday evening; dropped 4lb and might have a say if taking to fences. |

Has won two of her four handicaps and responded well for pressure to collect over C&D last month (good to soft); off only 2lb higher her claims are crystal clear, provided she's okay on soft. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Not easy to make a case for but she didn't run badly when fourth on handicap debut at Wetherby (2m, good) last March and may have needed the run on her reappearance there (2m, soft) last month; there's stamina in her pedigree and she might be able to take a step forward now up in trip. |

In the frame in two of three points in Ireland; fair hurdles debut in slowly run affair at Uttoxeter in December (2m, soft), but ran out next time and was well beaten on latest start at Wetherby (2m3f, soft); chase/handicap debut. |

Pulled up in series final at Carlisle (2m, good to soft) three weeks ago; however, he's won twice this season (2m4f/2m5f, soft), the latest two starts ago; won on good ground last term and there can be hope that he's still okay at this sort of trip; in the mix if swiftly bouncing back. |

Unexposed 5yo who encountered traffic in the straight when close third of 14 on last month's handicap debut at Huntingdon (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie); moves up in trip here and probably still has potential. |
