22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Has a patchy profile but she made it 2-6 over fences when justifying favouritism here (2m4f, good) last month; up 6lb but that was a personal best last time and her other chase win came over this C&D; key player. |

30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Making stable debut when scoring comfortably over 3m here in January (good to soft) but has to get back on track after three lesser efforts (the latest in a first-time visor). |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |

Won easily over fences at Ludlow (3m) in January on debut for this yard but nothing since, latterly with cheekpieces back on; now tries a visor; risky enough. |

6th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-5 over hurdles and 1-14 as a chaser; clearly difficult to win with but arrives here in a good run of form and always a chance that new headgear might give him a lift; an assured stayer. |
6/1 |

4th 6 |
9th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 85y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
His sole success came when landing this race last year (good to firm) in first-time cheekpieces off 3lb lower mark; has ran with credit since when placed and his second at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) in February will have set him up nicely for a repeat bid. |
4/1 |

2nd 2 |
26th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |

Has 1-17 strike-rate and is not one to rely upon too heavily but he ran well when clear second over C&D (good to soft) six weeks ago and gets another chance off the same mark today. |

26th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Bettered poor seasonal debut when third over C&D (good to soft; 8l behind Anytrixwilldo) in refitted blinkers in January, but he ought to have been suited by the heavy ground when pulled up at Ffos Las on Friday and has become far too unreliable. |
10/1 |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |

Has become well handicapped and finally completed again when a 12l third at Ludlow (3m, good to soft); could build on that with yard having winners again. |
4/1 |

3rd 4 |
15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
No better for the 279-day break when registering yet another pulling up last month, despite having his preferred 3m on slow ground; 9lb below his one British winning mark now but hard to warm to; blinkers return. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Veteran who has turned things around over fences recently, with a win at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) followed by a second on similar ground at Plumpton (3m1f); now returns to hurdling but she's lightly raced in this sphere and looks interesting off the same mark as last time. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 6 |
16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Out of sorts initially this season but she wasn't without her supporters when back to form and winning at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) two weeks ago, and the 5lb rise looks manageable in her follow-up bid; leading contender if in the same frame of mind. |
4/1 |

1st 5 |
1st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |

Triple point winner but she's 0-12 under rules and hasn't been running well this winter; hard to recommend unless transformed by the cheekpieces. |

Recent point winner but a modest performer under rules these days and his Ludlow third was remote. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |

Won a small-field point recently but this veteran is a modest performer under rules these days and was pulled up in two handicaps (including over C&D) in February; opposable back in this sphere. |
14/1 |

26th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |

Veteran who has not shown a great deal (three runs) since returning in December from a long absence; cheekpieces the headgear of choice today; difficult to enthuse over. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Best at about 2m4f and he's looked to have stamina limitations in the majority of his runs beyond that trip; below his latest winning mark, last May, but he's failed to complete in two of his last three runs since back chasing and some reservations remain. |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |

Unseated rider when returned to chasing in January and has suffered a heavy defeat since; on a workable mark and suited by this C&D/slow ground but has some questions to answer. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Landed the odds in three-runner chase at Plumpton (about 2m3f, good; acts on soft/heavy) in May; solid hurdles second under Osian Radford in December and still on the premises when blundering that rider away over fences (also Ludlow, 3m, good to soft) last month; drops back down in trip; respected. |

10st 10lb |
Held every chance when unseating late on in a chase at Wincanton on Boxing Day (2m4f); again let down by his jumping at Ludlow; sold for £19,500 since; likely best watched after a change of yard, especially back over hurdles with stamina to prove. |

Seemingly back in good nick when second over fences in December but two lacklustre efforts have followed and it's hard to predict whether this first hurdle run since 2023 will rekindle his enthusiasm. |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Runner-up at Wincanton (3m1f, soft) in December but never going after an early mistake when pulled up at Ludlow since, taking his overall chase record to 1-18; first-time blinkers replace regular visor. |
11/1 |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Just 1-17 over fences, and last time's 5l second at Wincanton (3m1f, soft; kept on but never threatened) owed something to the late exit of Anytrixwilldo; mark unmoved but Rian Corcoran claiming 2lb fewer this time. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Can't judge too harshly on last month's pulling up in a Uttoxeter mudbath (only two of ten finished), but two efforts before that fall well short of the required here; blinkers need to prove transformative. |
40/1 |

5th 7 |
4th Nov 2025 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 5 |

Ended string of dismal performances with creditable fourth of 15 over C&D (good) in April 2024 but finished lame that day and we haven't seen him again since. |
