10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 103y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Seems versatile as regards ground; highly progressive sort whose overall record is 7-9; has looked best over hurdles when making the running and impressively defied a big penalty at Newbury for his most recent success; good second in the Supreme at Cheltenham, despite a final-flight error and getting involved in some bumping on the run-in (bare form can be marked up); the pick on ratings. |
4/7 |

2nd 10 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Has seemed best over hurdles when making the running and met his sole defeat when those tactics weren't employed; impressively defied a big penalty at Newbury (2m, heavy) most recently, taking record in this sphere to 3-4 and overall strike-rate to 7-8, as well as achieving a very notable RPR; related to a Cheltenham Festival winner for his yard; worth his place at this level and should make a bold bid. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Acts on soft ground; flopped at Sandown returned to Listed level but progressive and unbeaten otherwise; rebounded in emphatic fashion over C&D last time, taking Newbury record to 2-2; easily beat Kadastral at Chepstow in the autumn; leading contender, even with a 10lb penalty. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Bumper winner who chased home Sober Glory on his hurdle debut and then made all for a novice win at odds-on at Carlisle in February (2m1f, good to soft); trainer could offer no explanation for his poor handicap debut at Uttoxeter but he's better than that. |
9/1 |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Bumper winner who scored at the second attempt over hurdles at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) last month when making all; steps up in trip on his handicap debut and while this looks tougher he could still be anything. |
6/1 |
|
1st 4 |
3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Won a point bumper in April 2024 and a Chepstow bumper on rules debut in November 2024 (2m, good to soft; form solid); made a promising hurdles debut on return from 327-day break when 13l second to a 2-13 shot at Newbury last month (2m, good to soft; first run after wind surgery); contender. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Posted consistent efforts prior to ready win in Newton Abbot maiden (2m2f, good to soft) last time; may improve further and can't be dismissed, even though Harry Skelton prefers Kadastral. |
16/1 |
|
1st 4 |
4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Third against useful rivals on first two hurdling starts and he ran another promising race when second of 14 at Exeter (2m, good to soft) last month; looked a bit tricky last time but that form puts him firmly in the picture and he would have finished closer but for a bad mistake two out. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 5 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Third against useful rivals on both hurdling starts, latterly behind recent Supreme Novices' runner-up Sober Glory at Newbury (2m, good to soft) two months ago; ideally needs to learn to settle better but he's in calmer waters here; leading contender. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Tamely dropped out of contention in valuable series final at Kelso (2m, good to soft) last month but posted good effort when second at Taunton (2m, heavy) two starts ago and has possibilities if able to replicate that form on the quicker surface here. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Fourth in warm novice hurdle against males at Newbury (2m, good to soft) in January and runner-up to Beauty In The Park at Taunton (2m, heavy) next time, beaten just over 3l; she's 6lb better off with the winner on this handicap debut and could have a part to play in a first-time tongue-tie. |
14/1 |

2nd 7 |
3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 104y Class 3 |

She's finished fourth on all four starts, most recently against males at Newbury (2m, good to soft) on her second hurdle start; back against mares today and might not be far away. |

Beaten twice as far but probably achieved a little bit more when recording his second successive Newbury hurdle fifth last time (2m, good to soft); ought to find his level in handicaps after this. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
0-5 over hurdles but shaped well before fading into fourth of 13 at Southwell (2m, good; first run after wind op) this month and Ben Pauling is evidently keen to launch his chasing career; interesting. |
9/4 |
|
4th 2 |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Ran against some useful novices in his qualifying races; again struggled on his handicap debut at Haydock, but he was only 9-2 for that 2m5f race (first-time tongue-tie now dispensed with) and has since undergone a wind operation; wouldn't be exposed just yet; market could be informative. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 50y Class 5 |

Safely held in three 2m novice hurdles this season but faced some useful opposition, and has much better chance to get competitive in this low-grade handicap if the new trip suits; tongue-tie added; shortlisted. |

10st 6lb |
0-7 under rules and a beaten co-favourite on his handicap debut when sixth of 12 finishers at Exeter (2m5f, good) last month; first-time cheekpieces now on and still lightly raced so cannot dismiss. |
7/1 |
|
6th 4 |
7th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 137y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Only minor promise in bumpers and beaten a long way in all three runs over hurdles, albeit two of those races were won by the first two home in the Supreme at Cheltenham; entitled to be far more competitive in this company on handicap debut. |
4/1 |

14th Jan 2026 Good 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |

Placed in final bumper attempt; modest record otherwise and two hurdles efforts (80-1 both times) suggest handicaps will be his ideal scene. |

11st 1lb |
Low-mileage 6yo who displayed significant improvement when winning on handicap debut for David Pipe at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in February; raced too freely and was disappointing favourite for new stable at Fakenham this month but remains of interest. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |

Low-mileage 6yo who displayed significant improvement when upped to 3m for handicap debut at Doncaster (good to soft) in February, winning by over 3l; now with a new stable (was with David Pipe) and could still have a lot more to offer. |

5th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 5 |

Tailed off at big odds in all three novice hurdles; however, she showed ability in bumpers and is one to watch in the betting now up in trip off a basement mark on her handicap debut, with her stable in fine form. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |

Useful on the Flat, of similar ability to Road To Wembley; made hurdle debut in a race won by Sober Glory, after which he had wind surgery; chased home a promising horse at Kempton and shouldn't be far away. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Took his Flat record to 3-14 with 1m2f success (RPR 82) on last appearance; sold out of Ed Walker's stable for 50,000gns later in October; market may give further guidance switched to this code. |

Bumper form comprises two solid efforts on good ground at Worcester and a lesser performance on soft at Plumpton; first foal of a winning hurdler and looks open to progress in this sphere; tongue-tie fitted. |

22nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Rare bumper runner for his Flat yard when narrowly outpointed by a fellow newcomer here in early September (good; 8-1); of those with experience, that form is probably up there. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

First foal; dam fair on the Flat (albeit a maiden) and subsequently a useful hurdler, half-sister to two Flat winners and a hurdle winner; rare bumper runner from Flat-oriented stable; market may guide. |
