26th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 219y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
5-11 over hurdles for Paul Nicholls and arrives on the back of a wide-margin success in a seller at Hexham (2m, good) 24 days ago; bought for £26,000 and commands major respect on chase debut for his new stable. |
3/1 |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Four hurdle wins at trips ranging from 2m-2m4f; was running well in handicaps in the autumn after chancing her arm over fences last September and this is a very winnable race given the favourable terms; strong claims for top yard that's 4-5 here. |

31st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
In good form when last seen on the Flat, going down narrowly over 1m3f at Southwell last March, and successful three times over hurdles since; however, she ran poorly in that sphere in November and has stamina to prove on her return to the AW. |
6/1 |

13th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Four and three-runner races when she won over 2m here in April and May; came up well short, however, in her hat-trick bid when 5-4 favourite at Warwick nearly six weeks ago, which dents her claims. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Irish challenger whose sole success came in a Limerick maiden on his hurdles debut in May 2024; placed five times last term and returns to this discipline after a couple of unsuccessful runs over fences this month; win record is offputting. |
8/1 |
|
3 |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Sole success came in a Limerick maiden hurdle in May 2024; placed several times since and made a promising debut over fences when fourth of 12 at Wexford (2m, good to yielding) 16 days ago; should win races but up against a serious rival here. |
9/4 |
|
4th 2 |
7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Sole win came in 2m Limerick maiden hurdle two years ago; consistent placed form in handicap hurdles last year, well below best last month at Plumpton; straight into handicap company for chase debut and inexperience a concern. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won two juvenile hurdles for Anthony Charlton last season but largely disappointing in handicaps for new stable this term, albeit not running badly when fifth at Taunton (2m, good) this month; needs to up his game. |
7/1 |
|
5th 1 |
9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
On a losing run but was perhaps ridden too aggressively (in a visor) when pulled up in 2m4f Wincanton handicap hurdle in January; yard is going really well so this C&D winner could bounce back off a reduced mark with headgear now dispensed with. |
25/1 |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 179y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Four wins divided between the Flat and hurdling; didn't run too badly in a first-time visor at Cheltenham (2m1f, good to soft) but may have been flattered by how that race panned out (soon led); others perhaps safer. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Both wins over hurdles came when making all; yet to convince as a chaser, falling in two of her three starts in this sphere; a clear round would be a priority. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 |
7th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Returned to form with front-running win at Warwick (2m3f, good) in September and caught the eye at Stratford (2m, good) last month, after a break, making good headway from a long way off the pace before fading into fifth on the run-in; back up in trip here and it will be interesting to see whether she reverts to much more positive tactics. |
5/1 |
|
5th 6 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Returned to form with front-running win at Warwick (2m3f, good) in September but absent since tame finishing effort in November (breathing issue reported) and remains on fairly tough mark. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Ran respectably at Taunton (2m3f) in April when last seen, taking record under Olive Nicholls to 13134; shapes as if this step back up in trip is worth exploring; solid claims. |
7/2 |
|
4th 1 |
23rd Apr 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Recorded his second hurdle win when scoring over C&D (good) in December; had a break after that but he returned to action with a 2l third back over C&D last month; should be sharper this time and he's still unexposed at this trip; respected. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Multiple hurdle winner at up to 2m5f on a sound surface; 1-2 over fences; won a three-runner chase at Wincanton (1m7f, good) when last seen in March; encouraging record after a break; up 3lb and is unexposed as a chaser over this trip; player. |
6/1 |
|
1st 2 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
5-19 over hurdles, with all wins gained on good/good to firm; well beaten on last month's chasing debut at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) but will be much better suited by today's quicker conditions and may yet have a future over fences. |
6/1 |
|
6th 9 |
21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
5-19 over hurdles, the latest win gained at Taunton (2m3f, good to firm) in November; makes chasing debut from fairly tough mark, though, and does not have a good record on soft ground. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Made it 2-3 for Joe Tizzard when scoring back from another break at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good; 100-30) two weeks ago; up 5lb but that was a comfortable win from off the pace and this step back up in trip should be fine (first hurdle win was over 2m4f); big player. |
11/8 |
|
1st 3 |
13th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
First run for Joe Tizzard when justifying market confidence at Wincanton (2m4f, good) in March last year and unlikely he gave his true running when well beaten after a 7lb rise at Taunton in November; could be given another chance, though lengthy breaks have become a feature in his profile. |
