2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Lightly raced maiden hurdle winner (on good ground); runner-up on last month's handicap debut at Warwick (2m, good to soft) when, under a 10lb claimer, he was unable to reel in the front-running winner; Tom Bellamy takes over and he's up in trip; player. |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
First run after wind surgery and in a tongue-tie when leading late on in a Huntingdon maiden (2m, good) and probably even better when second under a penalty next time; off since November but brings potential into handicaps. |

Half-brother to stable's smart chaser Does He Know; safely held in valuable bumper at Punchestown festival (yielding) in April but had wind surgery during the summer and is now fitted with a tongue-tie; has sights lowered on hurdling debut; market helpful. |

Flat winner but 0-11 as a hurdler and can race freely; has shown he can be competitive off even higher marks but has to bounce back from two below-par efforts. |

Won good-ground bumper on debut then posted consistent efforts over hurdles until form dipped last time (handicap debut); nothing out of the ordinary and looks below the likely required standard on Flat debut. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Course bumper winner who has finished in the first three on all four hurdle starts (2m/1m7f, good-soft); this lightly raced 5yo could give another good account on his first handicap start. |

2-11 on the Flat for Ed Walker, the latter win gained in April (1m6f, good to firm; RPR 77); ground slower than good would be new to him but he can be competitive here if he takes well to hurdling at the first attempt. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
This course scorer might have needed his recent reappearance and is well treated if bouncing back to his best, having returned to the mark he defied at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) last August; also went close over C&D last summer; cheekpieces off, visor back on; yard hasn't been as prolific as usual in the last couple of weeks but that's likely to change before long. |

Wore cheekpieces when just holding on in six-runner July course handicap (1m2f, good to firm) in August; visored when he stopped quickly on good to soft at Nottingham in October and not seen since a hurdles debut the following month; cheekpieces back on for this return. |
7/1 |

5th 10 |
2nd Nov 2025 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Fair Flat racer who held on gamely to win at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm; RPR 80) in August; needs to bounce back quickly from last month's poor run and probably won't be aided by any rain here but still considered on hurdling debut. |

10st 7lb |
Lightly raced 6yo but she's struggled in her four runs over hurdles, tailed off on recent handicap debut at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft; 15-2); probably did too much too soon in that race but she needs improvement on this switch to fences. |

11st 6lb |
Maiden under both codes; seemed to appreciate the return to good ground here 18 days ago (2m5f) and having the visor back on was no bad thing; needs a bit more off the same mark but hard to dismiss. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |

14-race maiden on Flat and over jumps; well beaten back over hurdles in her last three starts including in a handicap at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; still unexposed in this sphere but she needs a transformation back on good ground; visor reapplied. |

12st 0lb |
Nine-race maiden who has been inconsistent over hurdles but he was a close second in a Huntingdon handicap (2m, good; tongue-tie added) on his penultimate run; on same mark here and has possibilities if he can recapture that form on this switch to fences. |
3/1 |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Initially failed to show any immediate benefit from wind surgery in three subsequent runs (2m to extended 2m4f) but latest effort, fitted with a tongue-tie and going close at Huntingdon (2m, good) last month, was a marked step forward; it will be interesting to see if he can build on that and 3lb claimer is booked. |

11th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 5 |

Expensive to follow in maiden company, including twice at short prices over C&D last year; poor in two starts over further since undergoing wind surgery (reported to have stopped quickly last time) and the first-time tongue-tie will need to help. |

Four modest runs over hurdles and endured a heavy defeat in handicap company; however, returns to this scene on the back of two competitive runs in 1m4f classified races on the AW, so at least he's in good nick. |

Dual-purpose performer who got off the mark at the 19th attempt when landing classified event at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) two weeks ago; got an easy lead but he justified support in good style and they were strung out behind him; key player. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 59y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Second in a point before readily made all in good-ground Perth bumper for an Irish stable last spring; made underwhelming start to hurdling career for new stable last season, with best of three runs his well-held second at Catterick (1m7f, good) in January, but switches to fences for this handicap debut and has plenty of scope for improvement. |

Easy winner of a five-runner Perth bumper (good ground) last spring and later recruited for 60,000euros; fell when prominent in the market on hurdle/stable debut at Huntingdon in November and was well held in second when odds-on at Catterick last time; still early days in this sphere but he needs major improvement with equipment added after a break. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |

Built upon promising point debut when readily winning five-runner Perth bumper (good ground) for Irish stable in May, after which he changed hands for 60,000euros; it's hard to gauge what that form is worth but, nevertheless, he enters calculations on this hurdling debut. |
