5th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Achieved nothing on return from layoff last time but may well prove resurgent returned to Hereford with the outing under his belt, being 3-3 here (2m/2m5f); new trip is the question mark. |

27th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Dual chase winner who has been running better than his recent heavy defeats may imply and he's on a good mark with Harry Cobden booked; off since October. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Dual 2m5f chase winner at Hereford (good) in the spring; well beaten over 3m at Ludlow 12 days ago and needs to rebound quickly from that, but ran much better than bare form suggests when last of six (behind Alien Storm) at Fontwell (2m3f, good) two starts ago and can't be ruled out. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Got off the mark over fences at Ludlow (2m4f, good to firm) last October and has been placed on all five starts since; drops back in trip which may not be in his favour. |

3rd 4 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Triple hurdle winner who made the breakthrough over fences in a Ludlow handicap (2m4f, good to firm) in October; that was a four-runner race but he's been placed in four runs since including when runner-up at Chepstow (2m7f) 11 days ago; should go well again and all of his wins have been on good/good to firm. |
9/2 |

2nd 4 |
11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Triple hurdle winner who made the breakthrough over fences in a Ludlow handicap (2m4f, good to firm) in October; that was a four-runner race but he's been placed in three runs since including over 3m at Taunton; should go well again and it would be a positive if the ground dries out. |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
His form during the opening half of last season included a Kempton win (on good) and a pretty good effort at Cheltenham, both over 3m; this year's two runs were nothing like so good but the ability is there. |
7/1 |

5th 6 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Below par last time at Ascot but Kempton win in November was off only 4lb lower and then ran fairly well at Cheltenham; if back to that level of form then he wouldn't be far away. |
25/1 |

29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 146y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
4-17 over hurdles, the latest win when 80-1 under Freddie Mitchell at Kempton (3m, good) in November on second start for this stable; respectable seventh of ten when 40-1 at Cheltenham (3m) in December last time but his old, markedly better form may now be out of reach. |
