28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won twice here last summer and some sign of a return to form when fourth at Warwick last week; this mark isn't a gift but has each-way claims. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Won twice at Worcester last summer but below his best on his last two starts and needs to come down a few pounds. |

11st 7lb |
5lb out of the weights and 50-1 when well beaten in the Welsh Champion Hurdle on final run in October; his earlier races were more realistic than that and he ran well; solid chance if fitness doesn't hold him back. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won at Worcester (2m, good) last July and he ended last year with two close calls over 2m4f; well-held fifth on reappearance at Market Rasen last month but he may have needed that run and has claims if he can get back near best. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Scored at Worcester (2m) last July and posted a very good second of 11 in 2m4f handicap there when last seen out in October; this course winner has gone well fresh so must enter calculations. |

4yo who won here (2m, good) in July on his third handicap start and was beaten just a neck when upped to 2m4f at Southwell (good) three weeks ago; unexposed at the trip and entitled to respect. |

6th Sep 2024 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Made the frame in two juvenile hurdles for Donald McCain in early part of last season and, following a layoff, belied 33-1 odds when placed on stable/hurdle debut at Southwell (2m, good) in June; struggled on soft ground in July but is back on a quicker surface here and could have untapped potential over the new trip. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Won over hurdles at Bangor in August 2023; should strip fitter for his first run in 616 days when sixth of eight at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) last month but may be best watched for now. |

Consistent once sent into handicaps until disappointing on his final outing in September 2023; something was evidently amiss given subsequent absence and trainer can get them fit at home; on a good mark. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Needed considerable help from the handicapper before winning twice last year and has looked badly out of sorts on both appearances this year; usual cheekpieces (left off last time) are refitted; can't be supported with any confidence. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Disappointing on last two starts but he won twice in the second half of last year (2m, good to soft/good) and the fact his stable is enjoying a very productive month suggests he is well worth a second look. |

11st 1lb |
Completed a four-timer when winning at Worcester (2m4f, good) in September; well beaten following an 11-week absence at Wetherby (3m, soft) last month and looks a tad high in the weights. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Front-runner who won four in a row last July-September (2m4f/2m2f, good) and his Newmarket trainer does very well here; however, he went off the boil on his final two outings last year and he's unproven on slow ground. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 111y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Had wind surgery prior to posting one of her better efforts last time (2m4f) but isn't guaranteed to build on it, being an inconsistent maiden; again out of the weights. |

18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Struggled last May-August in her first four handicaps and 8lb wrong at the weights today; a transformation is needed following wind surgery. |
