24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Rampant in sub-3m good-ground hurdle races and chases last summer, and has the beating of Yippee Ki Yay on a line through Macklin, whom he trounced at Exeter last time (3m, good); still fairly lightly raced over this sort of trip, and drying forecast rates a big plus. |

7th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 54y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
Bought out of Olly Murphy's yard for £26,000; on the retreat but had run well when falling three out at Taunton in January and was close up behind respected opposition in his latest point; could go well. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Kicked off for this yard with three wins in handicap chases and added a 2m4f novice hurdle at Worcester; not sure what happened back there last time in a handicap hurdle but it wasn't his true form; does have to carry a penalty. |

2m6f winner at Stratford last October; another good run to be fourth at Ludlow in January (2m4f) but bit below that level since, last time sent to France. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Made all to open account at Stratford (2m6f, good to soft) in October, his eighth chase, and has performed well off today's mark on both subsequent outings (2m4f, soft/good to soft); up in grade today but still enters calculations. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 5 |

Made all to open account at Stratford (2m6f, good to soft) in October, his eighth chase, and also ran well when second to very progressive rival at Warwick (2m4f, soft) the following month; had wind op during 57-day break; can give this a good shot. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
6yo who has been a major improver back over hurdles this season, winning three times (2m-2m5f, good-soft); having shot up the weights she again ran well when second of four at Chepstow (2m7f, soft) in February, but she needs to prove her current mark isn't beyond her; 1lb wrong today. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Would surely have completed a hat-trick had she not unseated at Fakenham last month and strolled home by a wide margin at Hereford (2m3f, soft) next time; however, she went up 14lb for winning that uncompetitive race and her improvement has come at shorter distances (unproven beyond 2m5f). |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Improved form back over hurdles in the autumn, winning in good style at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) and Ludlow (2m5f, good); looked set to complete the hat-trick at Fakenham (2m4f, good to soft) last Sunday but rider got unbalanced after the final flight and was unseated; turns out off same mark here and has leading claims if she can avoid any mishaps. |

10st 11lb |
Without a win since 2023 but was placed in three chases last season and continues to edge down the weights; beaten about 20l when third at Huntingdon (2m7f, good) on latest outing in March but this slightly shorter trip may suit him better; considered each-way. |

Ran quite well over hurdles here (2m4f, good to soft) on stable debut in November but not much has gone to plan since; well held when unseating rider on last month's return to fences and effectively 5lb higher from out of the weights today; others appeal much more. |
