20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
At his best as a hurdler when gaining his second win in this sphere, at Kempton (2m, good) in March; touched off at Ludlow next time but below his best up in trip at Plumpton (2m4f, good) last month; ridden on four of last five starts by Ciaran O'Shea; back to 2m and needs to return to form. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Began to look exposed in the second half of last year but he showed improved form to win at Kempton (2m, good) on March 23 and was short-headed at Ludlow (2m, good) last Monday; he should be fine now back up in trip and could again be thereabouts. |

30th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |

Classy on the Flat back in the day; it had been a struggle in handicaps this season but, back from a break and dropped in grade, he won readily enough under Ciaran O'Shea at Kempton (2m, good) last week; escapes a penalty. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
0-7 over hurdles but was close up in a 2m3f handicap off 5lb higher; ran okay when 8l off the winner on chase debut here in March (2m4f, good) and worth another go at 3m. |
6/1 |

5th 5 |
26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Lightly raced 6yo who could be suited by the drop back in trip on this chase debut; he's not written off today but needs to take a step forward from his hurdle form if he's to come out on top. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
13th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Thoroughly uncompetitive in novices at about 2m4f; steps up in trip for handicap debut but would need to see some confidence behind him. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Has improved for good ground in winning her last two races (2m3f/2m5f), both with plenty in hand; raised 10lb for last time but she's only raced 13 times and is clearly on the upgrade. |
11/4 |

1st 6 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Would have found conditions too soft when seventh behind Pretending at Market Rasen and she then justified market confidence with a narrow win at Bangor (2m3f, good); she travelled much the best in that race but the handicapper went with an 11lb rise and that asks major questions in this loftier grade. |
7/2 |

1st 1 |
31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Both her novice wins came on good ground and she'll appreciate a return to such conditions after running fairly well on soft last time at Market Rasen (2m4f); considered off her lowest mark in a handicap. |

Showed only minor promise in two points this year and was unable to land a significant blow when 80-1 for last month's rules debut at Worcester (2m4f, good). |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Stacks of minor honours and his second in a Doncaster maiden last time, after 101 days off, was one of his best efforts; another was in November on his only go at about 2m6f; the lack of a win is a touch disconcerting, though. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Responsible for some of the best form on show but he's now 0-10 over hurdles so had his chances; probably found the ground too soft last time; might be vulnerable to rivals with lower mileage. |

Safley held in his three completed qualifying races but caught the eye when travelling well for a long way on penultimate appearance and is open to improvement on this handicap debut. |

Five-race maiden who hasn't shown enough to suggest he'll be getting off the mark today. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-13 over hurdles and has struggled a little with consistency in the past, with his better efforts coming over further; however, he went close off a similar mark at Hereford (2m3f, good) in November and, despite the drop back in trip and returning from a break, he still warrants respect. |
7/2 |

10th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
0-11 over hurdles; runner-up on consecutive 2m4f starts this summer but was pulled up (albeit in a competitive series final) last time and is not the most obvious answer to this competitive race. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |

Close second to Service Minimum over C&D (good; first-time tongue-tie) last month but a lesser effort behind Intosomethinggood followed three weeks ago and he's now 0-10 over hurdles. |
