2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Bumper winner who chased home Sober Glory on his hurdle debut and then made all for a novice win at odds-on at Carlisle in February (2m1f, good to soft); trainer could offer no explanation for his poor handicap debut at Uttoxeter but he's better than that. |
9/1 |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Bumper winner who scored at the second attempt over hurdles at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) last month when making all; steps up in trip on his handicap debut and while this looks tougher he could still be anything. |
6/1 |

1st 4 |
3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Won a point bumper in April 2024 and a Chepstow bumper on rules debut in November 2024 (2m, good to soft; form solid); made a promising hurdles debut on return from 327-day break when 13l second to a 2-13 shot at Newbury last month (2m, good to soft; first run after wind surgery); contender. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Beaten about 13l when seventh of nine on handicap debut at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) in February; however, this 5yo showed promise previously and his pedigree hints that this step up in trip will be a plus. |
9/2 |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Ran well in a bumper here and has shown enough in his hurdle races to believe he can make a mark in handicaps; not that this is the easiest of starters. |
7/1 |

5th 8 |
3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Irish point second (3m, good); two fair runs over hurdles but likely to be seen to better advantage when going handicapping; tongue-tie fitted. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Didn't see out his race when seventh on handicap debut at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft; Gonnino second); it's possible he needed that (off a two-month break) but, equally, stamina might have been a factor; 3lb lower and claimer ridden; not impossible. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Unable to land a significant blow in three 2m1f novice/maiden hurdles, and might have been flattered by proximity in tactical race here last time; that said, he's open to improvement over this new trip on his handicap debut. |
11/2 |

0-9 and tried in cheekpieces when pulled up in 2m Wetherby handicap hurdle in February; it's easy to look elsewhere. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Son of Soldier Of Fortune who was fitted with cheekpieces but failed to build on earlier promise when sixth of seven on handicap debut over C&D 22 days ago; he's in good hands though and might be worth another chance. |
12/1 |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Unable to land a telling blow in three maiden/novice hurdles since his respectable bumper debut here last April but wasn't beaten all that far at Ludlow (2m, soft) three weeks ago; upped in trip and fitted with cheekpieces for handicap debut; one of two unexposed runners from the stable in this race. |

18th Feb 2026 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |

His third in a small-field bumper didn't amount to much and has been beaten 35l and 21l over hurdles; one for another day, perhaps. |

Handicap debutant who is far from solid on form and may be a quirky sort, having decided to run out approaching the final flight in Carlisle event when last seen (detached at the time). |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 50y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Bought for 25,000euros after his Irish point win in November but no show in three qualifying runs over hurdles (about 2m) and handicapper is yet to blink; goes up in trip for his fourth start in this sphere. |

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. |
