18th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Has more chasing experience than many of these and with a strike-rate of 4-15 things are going well; those wins have been from 2m to 2m4f so the are stamina questions to answer, for all that he has won a 3m point. |

1st 4 |
26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Kicked off 2026 with a hat-trick (2m1f/2m, soft/heavy) and he's gone close on his last two starts (2m/2m3f, heavy/soft); has shown promise on good ground in the past and he could be bang there once more. |

2nd 4 |
16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Began this year with three slow-ground wins (2m-2m1f, one here) and lost out only by a head when second here (2m, heavy; front pair well clear) on latest outing; continues to climb up the weights but should be fine over today's longer trip and can make his presence felt again. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 40y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Course winner who was in good form until a below-par fifth of six in 2m Warwick handicap chase 16 days ago; cheekpieces go on now and she's the sort to bounce back. |
7/4 |

5th 5 |
8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won two 2m chases last season (soft/good) and this season's largely consistent record includes a good second over C&D; current mark is workable; likely to be in the shake-up. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
24th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Largely consistent efforts this term, most recently close second at Lingfield (2m) behind a rival who was completing a hat-trick; won this race in 2024 (on heavy ground) and has solid claims despite being on a much higher mark now. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
No joy in four goes over fences and made a winning return on his handicap debut in this sphere at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) in March; bumped into an improver when second at Hereford (2m, good) last month and should be on the premises. |
6/1 |

2nd 6 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Hasn't taken to fences this season but came right back to form reverting to hurdles last time, gaining a hard-fought win at Plumpton (2m, good to soft), his first success of any kind; handles most ground and 3lb rise leaves him still well treated on the pick of last season's hurdling form; leading contender. |
4/1 |

1st 2 |
9th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Very well handicapped if judged on pick of last season's hurdling form but chasing has not gone to plan this term (four attempts) and his overall strike-rate is now 0-14; needs to turn a corner. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won handicap debut at Bangor (2m3f, soft) last February 2025 but he's been well held in eight runs this season and latest was at Hereford last week; out of the weights again and he can only be watched. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won handicap debut at Bangor (2m3f, soft) in February 2025 but safely held on all seven starts this season; chasing debut latest; 4lb out of the handicap. |

5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made a winning handicap hurdle debut off today's mark at Bangor (2m3f, soft) a year ago but safely held on all six starts this season; considered only if lively in the betting before this chasing debut. |
