25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Dual novice winner but came up well short at Newbury (2m3f) on handicap debut most recently and can be opposed in this competitive field. |
40/1 |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 183y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
0-3 in bumpers but he's won two of his four hurdle races and been runner-up in the others; second at Taunton (good) on penultimate start showed he stays 2m3f, before his narrow win at Exeter (2m, heavy) on latest; makes handicap debut on a reasonable mark. |

20th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Made a winning hurdling debut at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to soft) in October and has bettered that form twice since under a penalty, most recently when a 3l second at Taunton (2m3f, good) last month; should be competitive again back in trip if coping with more testing ground. |

8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Not disgraced in two slow-ground hurdles this year (2m/2m1f) and could plausibly be seen to better effect on this quicker surface but low-grade handicaps are probably next on his agenda. |
50/1 |

14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Nothing exciting in three bumpers; pulled hard before weakening late on his heavy-ground hurdles debut three weeks ago, and can't be recommended on that. |
50/1 |

20th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Has shown ability in three bumpers but will need a marked step forward now sent hurdling if he's to make an impact; likely to be of more interest further down the line. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Not the biggest and her form figures are uninspiring but there were hints of ability before unseating in Wincanton novice in January; subsequent efforts suggest that might have been a false dawn and she's out of the weights again. |
40/1 |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Soundly beaten in her first two handicaps (2m6f/3m2f) and competes from 5lb out of the weights here; needs to take a big step forward. |
50/1 |

26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Signs of promise prior to unseating in Wincanton novice (2m5f, heavy) in January but tailed off/pulled up on both runs since, most recently when 40-1 for handicap debut at Stratford (2m6f, soft). |

22nd Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 137y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Close second in small-field Irish point on heavy ground last February but well beaten in a bumper and two novice hurdles (2m5f/2m) since switched to racing under rules. |

20th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Narrowly beaten in a small-field Irish point (3m, heavy) a year ago but has offered little in two runs under rules, tailed off in a bumper and well beaten again when sent over hurdles; plenty to prove. |

Narrowly beaten in a small-field Irish 3m point (heavy) before changing hands for £5,000; trailed in a very remote last on bumper debut at Chepstow. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
1m2f Flat winner who has yet to show anything of note over hurdles, including on handicap debut at Wincanton (1m7f, good) ten days ago; needs this step up in trip and the tongue-tie to spark considerable improvement. |
25/1 |

12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
1m2f Flat winner who has been completely tailed off in all three runs over hurdles; at least goes handicapping off a lowly mark and drying ground would help matters, so watch the weather. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Bumper winner who went close in Cheltenham Grade 2 on hurdle debut before getting off the mark at Ascot (1m7f, good) in November; found to have bled when well held next time and played up at the start (deemed a non-runner) at Exeter eight days ago; wore tongue-tie on those last three appearances and cheekpieces at Exeter, but has neither today; unexposed handicap debutant. |

20th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Bumper winner who went close in Cheltenham Grade 2 on hurdle debut before getting off the mark at Ascot (1m7f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in November; found to have bled when well held at Doncaster since, which is a concern, but would have obvious claims if back to best with cheekpieces added. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Favourite for two of his three bumpers (good to soft or good), winning the first and on the latest occasion finishing third under a penalty at Chepstow where they didn't go much of a gallop; others in here have superior form but he's a likely improver over hurdles. |
