3rd 3 |
5th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Record of 6-17 over fences after doing it comfortably at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) where Buckna was back in third; a likeable type who looks sure to give his running and be heavily involved; 5lb rise is fair. |

1st 6 |
11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Record of 5-16 over fences and he defied today's mark with a 12l win in this race (good) last year; has not seen much action since but he returned after four months off with a creditable fourth at Newbury (2m6f, good to soft) last month; should benefit from that run and he's an interesting contender back at this track. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 93y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
He wasn't in the best form coming into this race last year (good to soft), yet he battled hard for a narrow win and then followed up by 12l at Chepstow (good); only 2lb higher than for the latter win and could very easily stage a revival. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Lightly raced 6yo who has made a big splash on his switch back to hurdling this season, winning soft-ground handicaps over about 3m at Cheltenham and Sandown; the form of the Sandown win is particularly strong but he couldn't reproduce it back on good ground in the Pertemps at Cheltenham and conditions may once again not be as soft as he prefers. |

18th 6 |
12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Lightly raced 6yo who has made a big splash on his switch back to hurdling this season, ridden prominently when winning over about 3m at Cheltenham and Sandown (under Callum Pritchard last time); up another 8lb today; those wins were on soft ground, which probably helped him, but he keeps finding more and probably has deeper reserves, so cannot be passed over at all lightly. |

26th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 149y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Lightly raced French 2m1f hurdle winner who improved upon British hurdle form to win on chase debut at Newbury (2m4f, soft) in February and stayed on for a close second at Newbury (2m6f, good to soft) in March; lower mark to work with now back hurdling and looks a good prospect for this longer trip. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Runner-up behind Broomfields Cave over C&D in December but his form has slumped in two subsequent runs (2m7f/3m5f); overall record is now 1-18 and he has something to prove again. |
6/1 |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 54y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Record is only 1-17, the success over 3m1f, but he is largely consistent having made the frame in most starts; chance of doubling his tally partly depends on whether the new trip sparks a new level of form. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 |
14th Jan 2026 Good 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Just one win from his 16 starts but he's consistent and has been runner-up in this visor on his last two outings (3m, good/good to soft); there's every chance he'll be bang there. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Easily defied a 7lb rise for his Exeter win when strolling clear at Ascot (2m5f, good), albeit in a race that completely fell apart in behind; unlikely that this will be so straightforward off 8lb higher but arrives with his tail up. |
13/8 |

1st 3 |
29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 13y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Consistent 10yo; he beat only two other finishers at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft; fine on good) and his pursuers appeared to underperform; however, the 7lb rise shouldn't be too damaging given he's performed well off similar figures in the past; solid contender. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 48y Class 4 |

Ran respectably at Taunton last time and remains a consistent sort; scored off 1lb higher, beating Bonza Boy, on most recent attempt at Exeter (13 months ago); solid chance. |

His second to Lowry's Bar at Exeter in December (2m3f; stays 3m+) reads really well and it wasn't a bad effort last time at Taunton (2m7f); an 11yo now but goes on any ground and he can't be discounted. |
