8th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Low-mileage 6yo scored easily on just his second run over fences at Market Rasen (3m) in February but he proved a big letdown under a 7lb penalty at Leicester (2m4f) 11 days later; possibly found that run coming too quickly so shouldn't be written off. |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
12st 5lb |
Lightly raced 6yo, who made it second time lucky over fences with an easy win in a Market Rasen handicap (3m, soft) 11 days ago; 3lb well in under a penalty for that success and he has plenty of scope for further progress on this drop back in trip; strong contender. |

1st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Low-mileage 6yo who made promising chase debut at Catterick (2m3f, good) just after Christmas, staying on well for third; moves back up in trip here and has plenty of scope for improvement; must be considered. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Runner-up twice at Market Rasen last season, but failed to finish on her other three starts; no easy task from 9lb out of the handicap. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Lightly raced 9yo who arrives in good form, runner-up to Scottish King in 3m Musselburgh handicap last month; this point winner needs considering despite being 2lb out of the handicap. |

6th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Maiden hurdle winner; 0-11 over fences but placed a good few times and his backward step last time was over hurdles; cheekpieces return with a tongue-tie added. |
8/1 |

1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Won a maiden over hurdles but tailed off in his two handicaps and chasing is more his game these days; has been running well in that discipline, though, so couldn't put a line through him. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
1st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
0-10 over fences but returned from long absence with two good seconds in the autumn, the latter at Southwell (3m, good to soft; cheekpieces refitted); remains well handicapped on older form and today's slightly slower ground ought to suit; a possible. |

1st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
0-8 over fences and 0-16 overall but went close on seasonal debut at Ffos Las (3m, soft) in November and bumped into a big improver when well-held second at Uttoxeter (3m, heavy) in December; this right-handed track may not be ideal (jumped left at Taunton last season) but, otherwise, his claims are pretty solid; cheekpieces removed after one use. |
4/1 |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
0-6 over fences but was placed twice over C&D towards end of last season, latterly when staying on for clear second behind an improver (soft ground); contender if in same form again after seven-month absence. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 11 |
16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
11-race maiden with inconsistent overall form but his three completions at Ffos Las (3m in the mud on last two occasions) were among his best ratings; fell back here on latest outing; needs to find a bit extra to get off the mark but he's considered each-way. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Ex-Irish; third in a maiden hunter chase in January 2024 (2m5f, heavy); didn't show much in two chases for new yard in the winter, nor in two points in April; others stronger. |
33/1 |

5th 2 |
1st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Placed in Irish hunter chase (2m5f, heavy) in early 2024 but struggled in maiden/novice hurdles for new stable last season and was pulled up when 66-1 for 2m4f handicap chase in December; upped in trip with tongue-tie/cheekpieces added today; leap of faith required to support him. |
20/1 |
|
10th 14 |
28th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Placed in points and good third in hunter chase at Clonmel (2m5f, heavy) last January, but tailed off this winter on first two hurdle runs. |
