24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
C&D seconds either side of January's Leicester win (1m7f, heavy) speak well of his effectiveness around galloping tracks with at least some give underfoot; drying forecast worries more than latest 1lb rise. |
5/1 |

2nd 8 |
21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Close second over C&D (good to soft) just after Christmas and went one better at Leicester (1m7f, heavy) last month; up in grade today but latest 3lb rise does not look excessive and he's evidently in good nick. |

20th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Just 1-9 over hurdles but has performed well on both outings this season, more recently when a close second at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) last month; likely to be suited by this stiff, right-handed track (gained his win at Sandown) and the soft ground; commands respect. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Low-mileage 5yo who won a good-ground Ffos Las maiden (2m) in the autumn and has finished second in two heavy-ground handicaps this year, the latter over 2m5f here; there's a good chance this new trip-and-ground combination will also suit, so he goes on the shortlist. |
3/1 |

2nd 1 |
14th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 5f 82y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper winner who landed the odds in a Ffos Las maiden (2m, good) in October; runner-up in two of his three handicaps since, including at Ascot (extended 2m3f) in November and Leicester (1m7f, heavy) last month; only 1lb higher than for that last run and he's respected at this new trip. |
7/4 |

2nd 4 |
20th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won Ffos Las maiden (2m, good) in October; went close on handicap debut at Ascot (2m3f, good) in November and form of last month's Kempton fifth (2m, good) has worked out well; big player if handling today's ground (raced only on good). |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
6yo who has been steadily progressive this season, winning at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) and Southwell (2m, good to soft) and posting a good third at Leicester (1m7f, heavy) last time; solid contender. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
20th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Progressive 6yo who won cosily at Southwell (2m, good to soft) last month and is now 2-4 in handicaps; 10lb higher here and not yet proven on ground slower than good to soft but still makes significant appeal. |
4/1 |

31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Unexposed 5yo who displayed significant improvement when clear third on handicap debut at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft) in February; not seen again since but open to further progress this season. |

11st 3lb |
Became disappointing for Harry Fry; competitive form over hurdles and fences for current yard but he bled three runs back and couldn't hang in there at Exeter (2m3f, good) last time; continues to drop down the weights but he's now 0-8 over fences and is untried at this trip. |

Bumper/hurdle winner in France; two fair efforts with cheekpieces on his last two runs over hurdles; needs to improve on chase debut. |

3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Bumper/hurdle winner in France in autumn 2022; pulled up in two British handicap hurdles last year but, following a wind op, ran well for a long way when fifth at Leicester (1m7f, heavy; first-time cheekpieces) a fortnight ago; back up in trip with tongue-tie refitted today; a possible. |

Bumper/hurdle winner in France in autumn 2022 but not seen again until pulled up in two British handicap hurdles last year; had wind op in November and now sports cheekpieces; big leap of faith required to support him. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won a similar handicap at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) in March and made another bold bid when runner-up at Ludlow (2m5f, good) 12 days ago; only just caught in that race and he's 4lb well in off the same mark here; strongly respected. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |

He only beat two other finishers at Huntingdon (about 2m3f, good) and the 6lb rise appeared to find him out when behind Midnight View at Warwick; he's back down 2lb but they did claim 3lb off his back last time. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |

Best effort for a while when beating two other finishers at Huntingdon (about 2m3f, good) last month; back up 6lb in a race that will take more winning but that recent success could have had a reviving effect. |

Showed promise in 2022 but was then absent until this January when pulled up in handicap at Leicester (200-1); a tongue-tie now goes on; she may be best watched for now. |

20th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |

0-6 over hurdles and absent since third in mares' novice at Catterick (1m7f, soft) in December 2022; given a chance by the handicapper in the meantime but it's wise to wait for some encouraging signals from the betting. |

Has dived 19lb in just four months since arrival from Ireland; jumping frailties again all too evident at Taunton latest (2m3f, heavy). |

3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |

Won Clonmel handicap (2m4f, soft) just over a year ago but has looked out of sorts on all four hurdle/chase starts for new stable since the autumn, and it takes a leap of faith to support him here. |

20th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |

Won Clonmel handicap (2m4f, soft) a year ago; well beaten over hurdles on seasonal/stable debut in October and pulled up in two subsequent chaes; may yet come good for Evan Williams but has a lot more to prove than some of these; tongue-tie added. |
