22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Three wins at around 2m in Ireland and latest was over fences for Willie Mullins in June 2023; record of 0-8 for current yard but he rallied well when a creditable third here (2m, good) last month; this is a different test at this new trip but he's well treated on his old form and needs watching in the market; tongue-tie back on. |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 212y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Another previously useful ex-Mullins horse who's yet to score for this yard; some fair efforts, though, including when second of six at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft) at the start of the month; drops back in trip and also needs considering from a career-low mark. |

1st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Hurdles/chase winner for Willie Mullins but is 0-6 since joining current stable and returning from long absence; failed to derive benefit from going back over fences the last twice; current mark reflects a decline in his form (20lb higher at his peak). |

18th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Never really got competitive at Aintree festival in April but his front-running win at Newbury (2m, good to soft) two starts ago makes him of interest here and, after only nine hurdle runs, he's not yet fully exposed. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
All five wins over hurdles have been at 2m; hasn't won since his return to action in October and ran poorly when eighth of nine finishers at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) last month; handicapper is at last relenting but his best chance of success in the short-term may be back at 2m. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Record of 5-23 over hurdles and placed a few times as well; a bit up and down this season but ran respectably in the new blinkers at Fakenham last time and now regular cheekpieces return over a longer trip that may suit him better. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Prolific between November 2024 and June 2025, with his four wins in that spell including two here; his progress seemed to stall subsequently but he ran well when second of five to a progressive winner at Chepstow (2m, good) last time and could be in the mix; effective on good to soft. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Taunton win this time last year was the first leg of an eventual hat-trick (2m1f-2m3f) all recorded on good or quicker surfaces, so drying forecast is all to the good; chance, assuming he's not goaded into making the same sorts of errors as on his recent return here. |
6/1 |

4th 2 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has won five of his last seven races and he might be high in the weights now having come up well short (beaten 13l) on final sighting at Newton Abbot in October (2m1f); on the plus side, he's back at Class 4 level and has won over this far; others are preferred. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
5-14 strike-rate and steadily progressive form, gaining his latest success over this C&D (good ground; three of today's rivals behind) in convincing fashion; a 6lb rise does not look harsh, and with further improvement on the cards he has solid claims. |
7/1 |
|
1st 5 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 144y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
6yo who has shown improved form this season, winning at Ascot (1m7f, soft) in December then runner-up at Sandown (2m, good); well-beaten fifth in the gruelling William Hill Hurdle at Newbury (2m, heavy) in February; has had a break since and could play a leading role if back to his best. |
4/1 |
|
5th 16 |
7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Just held on from strong-finishing All In You at Ascot (1m7f, soft) and was unable to confirm the placings, albeit far from discredited, at Sandown (2m, good); that rival has the upper hand with further progress plausible; however, this consistent sort should go well. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Won back-to-back handicaps at Taunton (2m3f, good) and Warwick (2m, heavy) during the winter but he flopped at Newbury in final run for Stuart Kittow; new headgear is now tried and he has a bit to prove on first run for new trainer. |

5th 4 |
20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
2-2 since the cheekpieces went on, winning narrowly at Taunton (2m3f, good) but easier when making all at Warwick (2m, heavy); a collective 9lb rise demands more but should give himself every chance under a positive ride. |
11/2 |

1st 3 |
7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Just held on to score in first-time cheekpieces at Taunton (2m3f, good) in December and now 2-11 over hurdles; only 3lb higher here but the slower ground is probably not in his favour. |

3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Fairly useful Flat racer with 2-6 strike-rate over hurdles; gave good account when third of eight at Kempton (2m, good) last month and is probably still on a workable mark but has something to prove on the much slower ground here. |
3/1 |

18th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Useful Flat racer who was 2-3 in novice/maiden hurdles for Paul Nicholls in the spring; tackles much stronger opposition on this handicap hurdle debut and his tendency to race too freely is a nagging concern but, nevertheless, he's still very unexposed over jumps. |
5/2 |
|
1st 1 |
14th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Won Flat handicaps at about 1m1f (AW) and 1m4f (good; RPR 83) and he's found a new calling over hurdles judged by the way he won at Chepstow (dropped to 2m, good) recently; he shouldn't have a problem with this sharp 2m and is the one to beat. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Modest form in six Flat runs and he's 0-11 over hurdles; beaten 11l when fifth at Taunton (2m, good; 15-8 favourite) in March but he went close there on his penultimate run and has claims if he recapture that form. |
9/2 |
|
5th 3 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Remains winless after 16 races (six Flat, ten over hurdles) but the last four, latest over C&D, all suggest a major role today. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 9 |
9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Remains winless but he was running well (still close up) when falling two out in 2m Wincanton handicap in January; he ought to be thereabouts off an unchanged mark. |
