17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Ridden by Aamilah Aswat in his last five races; he's won the last two, though a 19l margin of victory at Newbury last time (2m4f, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) provided the handicapper with the ammunition to hit him with a 10lb hike; he still rates a likely contender as a 6yo firmly on the up. |

|
1st 1 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Scored under Aamilah Aswat at Kempton (2m5f, good to soft) this month, drawing clear of the others with a progressive rival; 6lb higher here but, after only eight hurdle runs, further progress is possible; tongue-tie added. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Not yet off the mark but the step up to 3m didn't work for him last month and he was rarely far away over similar trips to today's in 2025 (on soft and good ground); probably needs some weight off his back though. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Low-mileage 6yo; no match for clear winner when second on handicap debut at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago but that was still a good effort and he's open to improvement over this longer trip; respected. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Irish point winner who posted his most encouraging of three runs over hurdles when third in Ffos Las (2m4f, heavy) in January latest; unraced on ground faster than soft but should have more improvement to come in handicaps. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Irish point winner and went close in a bumper; couple of modest efforts over hurdles, latest over C&D; may still do better but seems likely to be more interesting in handicaps shortly. |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Odds-on winner of a Warwick maiden (2m, good) in May 2024 and he returned after a long absence with an encouraging third on handicap debut at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) last month; that was behind a major improver and he's a player if he can build on that. |

3rd 10 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Justified odds-on favouritism in run-of-the-mill Warwick maiden (2m, good) in May 2024 but this handicap debut comes after a mammoth absence and he'll be of interest only if lively in the betting. |

28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Lightly raced 6yo who has failed to build on a promising Doncaster second in November, making some mistakes when fourth of 13 on his handicap debut at Newbury (2m4f) 29 days ago; cheekpieces are reached for now. |
7/1 |
|
4th 5 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Belied 40-1 odds when second in Doncaster novice (2m, soft) in November but was no threat to the easy winner there and tailed off next time; back up in trip for handicap debut; opening mark demands improvement. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 218y Class 3 |

Others in here achieved more in bumpers but this well-bred 5yo should make a better hurdler and a tongue-tie is added for his first attempt; the market could be instructive. |

12st 0lb |
Ex-French 7yo who won three-runner Ffos Las maiden (2m4f, good) on British debut in October; wasn't beaten far in a Sandown handicap next time but he finished a remote fifth at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) in February; dropped another 2lb but he needs to kick on again to make a big impact. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Ex-French 7yo who won three-runner Ffos Las maiden (2m4f, good) on British debut in October and didn't run badly when last of four finishers in Sandown handicap (2m4f, heavy) last month, albeit finishing tired; back on a less testing surface here; no surprise if he features. |
14/1 |

4th 3 |
31st Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 178y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Made the frame several times in France in 2024; 1-1 in Britain, having beaten two rivals in maiden hurdle at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) in October 2025; may build on that success and show further improvement; enters the reckoning. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Displayed improvement to score on heavy ground at Ffos Las (2m6f) last month but raced too freely and was a disappointing favourite when well-held third at Lingfield (2m7f, heavy) three weeks ago; others appeal more. |
14/1 |

3rd 1 |
5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Outpaced when 11l behind second-placed Getaway With You on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, heavy) before devouring the near-2f longer distance at Ffos Las (heavy); sharper track than either of those isn't necessarily a plus, but this latest step up in trip is and a 6lb rise looks about right. |

Four-time hurdle winner; bounced back from a poor run when second at Plumpton (2m4f, soft; tongue-tie refitted) this month and new jockey Rian Corcoran claims a useful 6lb; shortlisted. |
7/1 |

9th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |

Four-time winner over hurdles and ran okay in his first two races after a wind operation before failing to give his running at Fontwell a month ago; would have a chance if he's back to anything like his best. |

Veteran who has won three of his last five starts and was as good as ever when scoring on the step up to 3m at Wincanton (good) last month; up 4lb but he should have more to offer over staying trips and he's an interesting contender. |

Soundly beaten in three Irish maiden hurdles (2m-2m4f) for Edward O'Grady in 2024 and makes stable/handicap debut after a 425-day absence; however, he's hugely unexposed and will need to be taken very seriously if strong in the betting; tongue-tie added. |
