21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 183y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Ran at Hereford for bumper win and both hurdle races, comfortably on top in a 2m4f maiden (soft; worst result was on good) last time; this handicap debut demands plenty more but he's lightly raced and should retain potential. |
7/1 |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won bumper here (2m, good to soft) on debut in December 2024; made a pleasing start to his hurdling career when runner-up here (2m, good to soft) last month; should be suited by this step up in trip and must be on the shortlist. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Irish point winner on deep ground; placed in all his hurdles races from good to soft to heavy; clear of the rest last time over this trip at Hereford and this looks a good opportunity. |
7/4 |
|
2nd 6 |
22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Maiden Irish point winner who made a pleasing start over hurdles when third of seven finishers at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft) in October; had wind surgery subsequently and showed improved form when beaten half a length in a Ffos Las maiden (2m4f, heavy) last month; looked a winner in waiting that day and should be hard to beat. |
6/4 |

2nd 7 |
30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Irish point winner whose sole rules effort, namely third at Newton Abbot (2m5f) three months ago, has received a few boosts; had wind surgery since; interesting with progress plausible. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Has stamina in his pedigree but didn't strictly improve for a step up to 2m7f at Bangor (handicap debut) most recently; however, still ran respectably and may build on that effort. |
8/1 |

4th 4 |
31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Definite improvement when beaten about 13l into third in a soft-ground maiden at Hereford (2m3f) and the front two that day have progressed to better things; this gelding might do likewise now sent further for his handicap debut. |
5/1 |
|
4th 5 |
22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Ran okay in two bumpers last season but was tailed off when 150-1 for hurdle debut at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) in November; had wind surgery subsequently but was then beaten 48l in a Ludlow maiden (2m5f, good to soft) last month and doesn't look the answer here. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
2m AW Flat winner for Tom Ward; unexposed as a hurdler, best run when 13l third in a Hereford novice in March (2m3f, good; wore a hood); wasn't suited by the drop back to 2m when pulled up on handicap debut last time; cheekpieces now tried again (no improvement with them on the Flat). |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has taken time to come to hand over hurdles but his recent third over 2m4f here last month represented by far his best effort, appreciating the better ground; opening mark is no gift, but he remains capable of better in this sphere; interesting contender. |
7/1 |

3rd 5 |
18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Fair Flat performer who was bought for 32,000gns; at least completed when hooded here last month but he was well beaten; has raced only on soft/heavy as a jumper and these conditions should suit him better. |
