11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Completed a four-timer (soft/good to soft) and made it three handicap wins in a row when cruising into the lead in the 2m4f EBF Final at Sandown last month; highly progressive and could play a leading role up in grade. |

1st 3 |
7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 178y Class 1 |
11st 11lb |
Progressing rapidly and completed a hat-trick of hurdles wins at Windsor (2m4f, soft) in January, coming from rear; more improvement required off 7lb higher mark and that's entirely possible; high on the list. |

1st 2 |
18th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Only had four runs and won the last two, a maiden at Perth (2m4f, soft) and handicap at Lingfield (2m3f, good to soft; comfortably); 8lb higher now but clearly on the upgrade and commands considerable respect. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Novice hurdler who was let down by his jumping and eventually fell in the Imperial Cup when dropped back to 2m at Sandown most recently; has a solid record otherwise and some strong 2m4f form behind very notable rivals; may resume improvement, provided errors are avoided. |
14/1 |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Front-runner; won at Uttoxeter (2m/2m4f, good/good to soft) in October on first two hurdle starts before third of five in Grade 2 here (2m4f, soft); again ran well when runner-up on handicap debut at Windsor (2m4f, soft) in January, when clear with Scorpio Rising who is declared for the EBF Final at 1:50, and this unexposed 6yo may benefit from the return to 2m; big player. |
16/1 |

2nd 1 |
18th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Won two minor races at Uttoxeter before a credible third to top novice No Drama This End in a Grade 2 at Sandown (2m4f, soft); racing keenly up front ultimately told late on but he remains open to significant improvement and this mark might not be beyond him. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 93y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
His maiden win over hurdles came at odds of 1-3 in a small field and he's since tasted defeat in three handicaps, going up 2lb for the latest second at Ludlow (2m5f, soft); difficult to call him well treated but now goes over fences and he has the look of a chaser. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
18th Feb 2026 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Easy winner at 1-3 in a maiden at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) in December; didn't see out the extended 2m7f on handicap debut next time and his fourth at Windsor (2m4f, soft; bumped before two out) on latest was better; still needs extra but he's heading the right way. |
9/4 |
|
4th 6 |
18th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Bumped into a good one on his hurdling debut and then easily justified short odds at Plumpton (2m4f, soft); beaten 18l on his handicap debut at Ascot but he travelled with purpose for much of that race and didn't see out the extended 2m7f; this trip might be the right fit at this stage of his career; respected. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Good-ground bumper winner who got off the mark over hurdles at the third attempt over C&D (good) in November, when wearing first-time cheekpieces (retained) in a maiden that worked out extremely well; weakened into sixth on handicap debut at Windsor in January but that was on soft ground; firmly in calculations now back on a better surface. |

18th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Unexposed 6yo who won a bumper and added a maiden over this trip at Plumpton in November (good; first-time cheekpieces); unproven on slow ground but his yard won this two years ago with a handicap debutant; possibilities. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won a small-field bumper last season and made pretty good start to hurdling career when second at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft) last month; leading contender here. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Listed bumper winner who scored at Hereford (2m3f, heavy) in February on his third handicap start and was a close second to Mount Anglesby (2m5f, good to soft) four weeks ago; this 6yo could continue to progress now things are starting to click; possible contender in first-time cheekpieces. |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Prevailed narrowly in a duel with the runner-up, pair clear, at Hereford (2m3f, heavy) last time; Listed bumper winner in unbeaten 2023-24 campaign and remains open to further progress over hurdles; shortlisted. |
9/2 |

11th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won heavy-ground Listed bumper at the start of 2024 and soft-ground junior hurdle here (2m) the following month; looked ready for the step up in trip so it was a disappointing seventh of nine in Windsor handicap (2m4f, soft) last month, when his trainer blamed the track and testing ground; question to answer now but still warrants consideration. |
