1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Inconsistent but made it 2-3 for this yard when winning comfortably in the reapplied cheekpieces over C&D a month ago; raised 7lb but faces similar conditions here and that could count for a lot. |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Broke off from hurdles career to win a maiden point in March; off the mark in this sphere as well here (2m4f, soft; six ran) in November, staying on steadily to lead on run-in, but needs to put a poor show at Exeter (2m7f) in December way behind him; cheekpieces (last used in February) return. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
0-8 over hurdles and not seen under rules since below-par run in Plumpton handicap (2m4f, soft) in February; won a maiden point the following month, though, and the booking of Sean Bowen catches the eye today. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Held on gamely to make all at Newton Abbot (2m5f, heavy) in April and returned from break in even better form ten days ago, drawing clear to score by 7l over C&D (soft); commands respect under 7lb penalty. |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Bumper winner who is 0-10 over hurdles, but he made a promising start over fences when third of six at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) last month; that was eyecatching from an unpromising position and he wasn't far behind the runner-up Hawk Stone; interesting contender with cheekpieces added. |
9/2 |

3rd 6 |
30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Chepstow bumper winner who has made the frame several times over hurdles at Ffos Las; could go well off a reduced mark, provided he takes to fences. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
0-8 over hurdles and very inconsistent but kept on for respectable fourth here (2m, soft) on seasonal debut three weeks ago and is probably worth another crack at 2m4f. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Seemingly aided by new tongue-tie when gaining breakthrough win at Hereford (3m1f, soft) in December, his 13th hurdle run, and has been placed on three of his four starts since; would appeal more on ground slower than good but still enters calculations; swaps usual cheekpieces for visor. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
18th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
The tongue-tie went on for last four starts, breaking his duck in good style at Hereford (3m2f, soft) on first occasion and creditable runner-up in two of his three starts since; the exception can be forgiven on heavy ground at Ffos Las; the tongue-tie is removed this time and he's not proven on good, but otherwise he has solid each-way claims. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
23rd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Broke his duck in good style at Hereford (3m2f, soft) in December, fitted with a tongue-tie, and backed that up with another solid effort behind a big improver at Uttoxeter; can be forgiven recent Ffos Las run where the ground went against him and he's worth considering. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Irish bumper winner who got off the mark over hurdles at the ninth attempt in a handicap at Plumpton (2m4f, good to soft) last month; not far off that form when fourth on his Warwick chase debut (2m4f, good) ten days later; enters calculations back hurdling. |
7/2 |

4th 7 |
26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Irish bumper winner who got off the mark over hurdles at the ninth attempt in a handicap at Plumpton (2m4f, good to soft) last Monday; did it easily and has the same mark for today's chase debut (due to be 7lb higher in future); leading claims if transferring that latest form to fences. |
6/4 |

1st 6 |
16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Irish bumper winner; has proved disappointing for Christian Williams, including when well beaten in new cheekpieces at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft; 28-1) last November; now on 3lb career-low mark off a 117-day absence. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Pulled up when 40-1 for handicap debut in February but, having changed hands for £4,000 during the summer (was with Karen Jewell), it will be interesting to see if the betting market predicts improvement on this stable debut; hood removed after one use. |

6th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Kept on for third in modest Fontwell maiden (2m1f, heavy) on hurdling debut last March but returned from break with two dispiriting runs in December (2m/2m3f) and has questions to answer on handicap debut. |
