14th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Ran a big race at a big price when fourth of 17 in last season's Champion Bumper at Cheltenham (good to soft); well held in two hurdle runs this season but he had wind surgery in December and tongue-tie is now added; still early days in this sphere and he's a possible improver back from a short break. |

12th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |

Unlucky not to finish closer when fourth in a Listed event here on New Year's Day (soft) but that wasn't a strong race and this has never been won by a maiden. |

1st Jan 2025 Soft 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Encouraging second at Huntingdon but the third (5.5l adrift) was some 21l behind Gnomon the time before; has to step up on that form to stand any chance. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Bumper winner (2m, soft) who has run well all three starts over hurdles, last time getting off the mark in a maiden at Chepstow (2m, soft) when beating a subsequent dual winner who is now rated 16lb higher; interesting on handicap debut although unproven on this better ground. |

1st 3 |
21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won a soft-ground bumper for another stable last season; beaten odds-on favourite when second on both hurdling starts, the latter at Wincanton (1m7f, heavy) one week ago, but has each-way claims at least here. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 |
14th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won the first of his three bumpers and that was on soft at this track; turned over at short odds on hurdle debut at Sedgefield (2m4f, soft) in December but he was only narrowly denied in a clear second; that was a promising start in this sphere and he's respected on this drop back in trip. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
0-9 but was runner-up on handicap debut at Haydock (2m3f, good to soft) last month and he filled the same position behind an odds-on rival in a maiden at Ascot (2m3f, good) last time; needs to find more at this new trip but he still has potential and is a half-brother to a 2m7f chase winner. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 3 |
29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 63y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Has something to find on all the figures with West Hill Verde but this eight-race maiden probably ran his best race yet in a Haydock handicap (2m3f, good to soft) and the winner is an improver who has followed up; effective on good ground so should give his running. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 10 |
5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 191y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Went close in his final two bumpers last season but has been set some stiff tasks and looked a work in progress over hurdles; step up in trip should help and a better effort could be in the offing now handicapping. |

Unexposed; showed improved form on handicap debut when second at Sedgefield last time (2m1f, good); further progress likely; a possible. |

2nd 6 |
19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Improvement needed based on what he's shown in two bumpers and three maiden hurdles but there's potential in his pedigree and he's travelled from Devon to make his handicap debut; interesting, especially if well backed. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper winner who has shown significant improvement since fitted with a tongue-tie and cheekpieces in handicaps over fences, winning over C&D (good) 16 days ago; further progress looks nailed on and he should be hard to beat. |
5/6 |

1st 9 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Lightly raced; first run in this headgear combination when runner-up over C&D and late mistake didn't help; up 2lb but should run well. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 3 |
26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Lightly raced since winning a bumper on debut in October 2024 and has struggled to get competitive on his three hurdle starts; sent straight over fences in first-time headgear for this handicap debut and a market check is advised, but others arrive with more compelling credentials. |

10st 7lb |
Some light at the end of the tunnel after a 13l defeat here in March (2m1f, good to soft) and this longer distance should suit as she's got a stout pedigree; quite interesting with that in mind. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 111y Class 5 |

Holds very weak claims on form but this switch to handicap level may enable her to post a bigger effort; check the market signals for further guidance. |

Placed in three of her four points but she was beaten 46l at a big price on hurdling debut at Chepstow (2m, soft) last month; has good jumping pedigree but she could be one for longer trips later on. |

27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |

Ran as though something was amiss when making rules debut in a bumper last spring but was placed in all three of her points and evidently has some ability; makes hurdling debut. |

16th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 3 |

Out of a sister to top-class chaser Cue Card; placed in two maiden points this spring (2m4f/3m) but probably needs this different test to enable some improvement. |
