25th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Made all the running to win a 1m classified event here two weeks ago; not so good at Chelmsford two days later; drops back in trip with cheekpieces given a go; not ruled out. |
6/1 |

12th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Built on her return from a short break when making virtually all in a classified event at Lingfield (1m, AW) on Tuesday; carries a 5lb penalty for that success but she's been competitive off higher marks in the past. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
A fair 2m2f hurdles winner at his best but he ended his time with Gary and Josh Moore out of sorts before Christmas; pulled up on his yard debut over C&D recently and tongue-tie is added here. |
50/1 |

6th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Hurdle winner in 2022 whose latest success came in a classified event (1m2f) last August when with the Moores; minor hurdle form in the autumn and up against it for new yard after a break. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Won basement-grade Flat race this summer and returned to hurdling with very respectable fourth on handicap debut at Fontwell (2m1f, good) last month; still unexposed over hurdles after only two attempts and has possibilities here; first ride over jumps for 10lb claimer Ben Pollard (three Flat wins). |

Won the penultimate renewal of this race in 2022 which was his last success; the closest he's come this year was at classified level but could still run well with the ground in his favour. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |

0-11 but has shown she can be competitive in low-grade handicaps when reaching the frame on her last three outings, including AW; each-way claims again. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 5 (7) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |

0-10 but has shown ability as when third of 14 at Windsor (11.4f, good; first-time blinkers) last month; will need to settle better than when fourth of seven at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) 12 days later, but each-way claims if she does. |

9st 13lb |
0-14 but six times a runner-up and he also ran well in a similar race over C&D last year; his form dipped last time but that was his first run on soft ground; likely to go well. |
3/1 |

5th 5 (1) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-13 and his six runner-up placings may suggest something's afoot; did dead-heat at Kempton (1m4f, AW; demoted to second) in November and he comes here in form having chased one home again at Southwell in April and Bath last time; handles good to soft; can make his presence felt. |
4/1 |

Beaten 12l or more in all five runs including two handicaps (11.4f/1m4f); dropped another 3lb but he needs to show a lot more on this drop back to 1m. |

8th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |

7th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |

Far from consistent at up to 1m4f in Britain and it remains a very long time since his French win; has failed to back up his June classified effort; new trip needs to have major effect. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

19-race maiden who is usually seen over further; struggled on turf last time but he'll be happier back on AW; tongue tied for the first time but not a solid option. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

17th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

11st 13lb |
Caused 66-1 shock in Worcester novice (2m, good to soft) in June but very little has gone to plan since; struggled in two recent handicaps (2m1f/2m) and is not bred to benefit from this big hike up in trip; too risky. |

Dual 11.5f Windsor winner last summer and it was a good comeback when second under Billy Loughnane over that C&D one month ago; unraced at two and he's likely got further progress in him this term; leading contender. |

2nd 5 (10) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Tongue tied all starts; won his first two handicaps, over C&D (good to firm) last August/September, and a below-par effort on her final outing was probably down to the soft ground; returns from seven months off and the market should be most informative. |
7/2 |
