11st 1lb |
Last seen winning a 3m handicap hurdle at Ffos Las in April (good to soft) off a 5lb lower mark; bred to make a chaser so has to be of interest. |

11th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Off the mark at Leicester (2m7f, soft) in February before posting a good second of four in 3m1f handicap at Plumpton (good); the drop back to 2m4f was not ideal there last time; better expected here. |
7/2 |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Low-mileage 6yo who got off the mark at Leicester (2m7f) in February before posting a very good second of four in 3m1f handicap here two weeks ago; drops in trip but on the up so still rates a player for yard firmly among the winners. |
13/8 |

2nd 3 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |

Has improved for cheekpieces, following his second at Sedgefield (3m2f, good to soft) with a 3l success at Leicester (2m6f, soft) which was despite a mistake two out; probably still fairly treated off 5lb higher. |

2nd Jun 2025 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-9 over fences but twice runner-up; has another go in this discipline on the back of a comfortable win over hurdles here (2m4f, good) in a race he also won 12 months earlier; now rated 10lb lower as a chaser so has obvious claims. |

9lb lower when an easy winner of this 12 months ago but he can deal with this mark and latest close third at Ffos Las (good to soft) was commendable given he likes good ground; could very easily win this again. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Seemingly aided by new tongue-tie when gaining breakthrough win at Hereford (3m1f, soft) in December, his 13th hurdle run, and has been placed on three of his four starts since; would appeal more on ground slower than good but still enters calculations; swaps usual cheekpieces for visor. |
8/1 |

3rd 4 |
18th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
The tongue-tie went on for last four starts, breaking his duck in good style at Hereford (3m2f, soft) on first occasion and creditable runner-up in two of his three starts since; the exception can be forgiven on heavy ground at Ffos Las; the tongue-tie is removed this time and he's not proven on good, but otherwise he has solid each-way claims. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
23rd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Broke his duck in good style at Hereford (3m2f, soft) in December, fitted with a tongue-tie, and backed that up with another solid effort behind a big improver at Uttoxeter; can be forgiven recent Ffos Las run where the ground went against him and he's worth considering. |

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. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Has record of 11142132 for his current yard, with those first three wins over hurdles at Worcester (2m4f) and his last success over fences at Market Rasen (2m7f); up another 3lb after his second over hurdles at Warwick (2m3f, good) last month, but he went down fighting after making a mistake at the last; could still have more to offer and he's a big player. |
100/30 |

2nd 8 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Three hurdle wins (2m4f; good and good to soft) in the middle of 2025, then made a winning return to fences at Market Rasen (3m) in December; not so effective on soft next time but has a weights chance back hurdling. |
9/1 |

3rd 2 |
22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Record of PPPPF over fences in 2023-24 but travelled strongly and mostly jumped fine returned to them at Market Rasen on Boxing Day (3m, good to soft), he and the runner-up pulling 17l and more clear; this is a warmer 0-100, but a 5lb rise isn't prohibitive next to his recent RPRs. |

10st 12lb |
Won at Warwick (2m3f, good to soft) and then ran well behind next-time-out winner at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft); a chance on all that and his Ludlow run in February was too bad to be true. |
10/1 |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Came good over hurdles at eighth attempt on seasonal debut at Warwick (2m3f, good to soft) last month; ran well behind next-time-out winner at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; must be considered. |

Came good over hurdles at eighth attempt, on seasonal debut at Warwick (2m3f, good to soft) 12 days ago; 5lb rise does not look excessive and he could quite plausibly have more improvement to come. |

Won by 5l over C&D (good) this month but that was a surprise outcome at 66-1 and, rather typically, he couldn't replicate the form at Worcester since; that was under a penalty and he's now 4lb higher. |

Only his second win in 42 career starts when doing it easily last week at Ffos Las (2m4f, good), defying odds of 66-1; that was from out of the weights so only 3lb higher here with a penalty; whether he'll replicate the form is the glaring concern. |
