2nd May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Dual purpose sort who hasn't stood much racing since winning here (2m4f, soft) in July 2024; first run in this sphere since when a faller at Hereford in December; may need further and softer conditions to be at his best. |

9st 4lb |
Won over C&D in April last year after which he scored twice over hurdles; not beaten far into sixth of 12 here (1m6f) seven weeks ago, but that race was run at a crawl; others are more convincing. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Safely held when fourth over fences at Fontwell (2m2f, good) this month but that was his first run since November (also his first after a wind op); reverts to hurdling on mark just 2lb higher then when winning this race by 14l on good ground a year ago; must be considered. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Sole success came when wide-margin winner over hurdles at Fakenham just under one year ago but he's finished runner-up on 12 occasions, including five times in succession over fences between September and November; had wind surgery after heavy defeat over hurdles at Windsor over five months ago; market might guide on this return. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Won over hurdles at Fakenham (2m4f, good) in June and was runner-up in two chases last month, latterly behind King Of The Story at Warwick (2m4f, good); also ran well back over hurdles at Fakenham on Friday, but the forecast rain is a worry. |

13th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Not beaten far at Ludlow in April (2m5f, good to soft) but early mistakes cost her when pulled up on final start for Fergal O'Brien; probably best watched on this occasion in first-time headgear. |

15th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 210y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Front-runner who is 5-10 over fences but the handicapper is beginning to look in charge and he worryingly refused to race last week at Market Rasen; cheekpieces are soon turned to. |
9/2 |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Free-going front-runner with 5-9 strike-rate over fences; unable to justify favouritism but still ran well before weakening into third at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last month, after a break, and could be hard to catch here if that run has brought him on. |
5/2 |

3rd 6 |
4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Front-runner who is 5-8 over fences and he found more progress when runner-up in the Durham National (3m5f, good) in October; this is a different test on his return but he still looks on a workable mark and was successful over 2m4f last spring; has worn a hood in all of his chase runs but the headgear is missing today. |

Won a Ludlow claimer last November; beaten in eight handicaps but only 4l and 7l away in her last two; Will Featherstone's 10lb claim comes in handy; possible. |

22nd Aug 2023 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |

Won a claimer last November; handicap form for current yard has been moderate, finishing behind three of these when seventh at Worcester two starts ago; fair third at Stratford since but this looks tougher. |

23rd Jul 2023 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Won a claiming hurdle for previous yard; respectable 10l fourth over C&D in June before a lesser effort at Worcester; not overly convincing. |
