16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
3-4 under Liam Harrison, gaining this year's Newcastle (good to soft) and Huntingdon (good) hurdles wins from the front but earlier bumper and point gains came under patient tactics; no chasers in immediate pedigree but his mark looks about right for this chasing/handicap debut. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Soft-ground 2m4f point winner who landed a valuable Kelso bumper for this yard; off the mark over hurdles on third attempt when taking Newcastle maiden (2m1f, good to soft) in January but pulled up on handicap debut at Haydock (2m3f, good to soft) last month; drops back in distance here and warrants another chance. |

Soft-ground 2m4f British point winner who landed a valuable Kelso bumper for this yard; off the mark on third hurdle start when taking Newcastle maiden (2m1f, also good to soft) seven weeks ago; up in trip and carries plenty of potential into this handicap debut. |

10st 4lb |
Bumper winner who was runner-up on her first two hurdle starts (2m/2m1f, soft/good to soft); disappointing favourite at Hereford (2m, soft) since but she failed to settle and was hampered a couple of times; retains potential and she's not ruled out each-way on handicap debut. |

Bumper winner for Laura Morgan in 2024 (2m, soft); runner-up on both runs over hurdles, last time finishing a long way clear of the remainder at Newcastle (2m, good to soft); should go well again. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Good-ground bumper winner who was placed in a 2m3f novice hurdle last season; ran poorly on recent handicap hurdle debut (2m4f) and now has a point to prove but might be aided by first-time tongue-tie and connections are evidently keen to switch him to fences. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Bumper winner on good ground; two underwhelming runs over hurdles but the middle effort was respectable and he now enters handicaps; this mark is no gift, however. |

11st 10lb |
Twice a runner-up in bumpers; failed to build on earlier promise in this sphere when pulled up on his handicap debut at Bangor (2m4f) three weeks ago; cheekpieces are retained and he could still do better for good yard. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |

Couldn't make a compelling case on this handicap debut and others preferred even if he is backed in the first-time cheekpieces. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |

Early switch to chasing hasn't gone entirely to plan; looking a bit more realistic now, but needs to tease out his resources longer. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |

Lightly raced hurdler; ran well in his first chase and was doing likewise when falling at Sedgefield, though wouldn't have won; others preferred. |

19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |

4-1 for last month's chase and handicap debut at Musselburgh (2m4f, soft), beaten about 6l in third of six; this unexposed 5yo is open to improvement if finding greater fluency over his fences; chance. |

17th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won three times (once from rear, twice making all) at up to 2m last term on the Flat for Paddy Butler; remote this year in his two hurdle races (three-runner race last time) but he was a fair third over C&D (a head behind No More Bolero) in between and peak form gives him a good shout. |

2nd 3 |
6th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Won three times at up to 2m on the Flat for Paddy Butler; bought for 36,000gns in October; third in a 2m handicap at Ripon 11 days ago having disappointed in a Newcastle maiden hurdle on jumps debut in January (2m1f, good to soft; cheekpieces on instead of visor); visor back on, this longer trip should suit, and improvement likely. |

3rd 6 (3) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won three of his last five Flat runs for Paddy Butler, including a clearcut success at Bath (2m1f, soft) in October; no impact on hurdle debut for new yard in January but could fare a lot better back on the Flat. |

Well beaten in two bumpers and he's struggled at massive prices in his three races over hurdles, two of them over C&D; handicap debut should offer improved prospects but he has no solid claims. |

Remains winless and he has been well below form in handicaps at Perth (2m4f) and Hexham (2m) this spring since undergoing wind surgery; others appeal more. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |

Ordinary form in bumpers; has improved since going hurdling, best run when third in a Carlisle novice in October (2m1f, good); bit disappointing this year, including on handicap debut on first run after a second wind op last time (2m4f, good); bit to prove now. |

Disappointing in maiden hurdles on his last two outings but showed a bit of promise in similar races prior to that and has had wind surgery ahead of this handicap debut; also refitted with the tongue-tie he wore in bumpers. |
