20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Bounced back from two falls over fences to win pretty much as he liked over hurdles at Doncaster (3m, good to soft); this looks a better race and he's 7lb higher, but this gelding hasn't had a lot of racing. |

11st 10lb |
8yo who is lightly raced for his age; he's fallen over fences this winter on his first two chase starts and remains a maiden but before those he kept on for an encouraging third over hurdles at Ludlow (3m, good to soft); not ruled out each-way now back in this sphere. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Got off the mark over hurdles at Carlisle in February and made a winning chase debut over C&D (good) 17 days ago; only four of the 13 managed to complete but a 3lb rise may not be enough to stop him following up. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Won a novice handicap hurdle at Carlisle in February (2m3f, soft); creditable second over 3m at Doncaster next time but was disappointing with cheekpieces tried at Musselburgh last time (3m, good to soft; reportedly never travelled); headgear retained for chase debut. |

10st 9lb |
Won at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) last month on third handicap start and 14l second of seven at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) 13 days later; kept to a similar trip, today's sharper track could be a positive, and this lightly raced 6yo wears first-time cheekpieces; remains open to improvement. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 10y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Exposed and only 1-13 over hurdles, while his latest third at Doncaster three months ago is nothing to shout about; however, as a winner off 1lb higher 12 months ago (2m7f, good) he commands respect. |
6/1 |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Won at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) last May following wind surgery; soundly beaten in sixth on both starts towards the end of last year but may have needed the first outing, and soft going might not have suited last time; not written off with better ground forecast this afternoon. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Good-ground bumper scorer; had wind surgery prior to a resurgent effort, finishing 5l third and one place behind Star Turn, over C&D (good to soft) last month in only his second handicap attempt; warrants respect off same mark, with a step forward possible. |
5/1 |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Bumper winner; remote when fourth on handicap debut at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in February but was given a wind op last month and remains open to improvement over hurdles for his respected stable. |
14/1 |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Course bumper winner (good) who ran okay when fourth of six on hurdle debut at Lingfield (2m3f, good to soft) in November; well beaten on both starts since (2m5f/2m3f, soft) but there's stamina in his family and he could be a different proposition now up in trip and back on better ground in a first-time tongue-tie on his handicap debut; monitor the betting. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Off the mark at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) in January; inconsistent, however, and she was tailed off when tried over 3m at Doncaster on latest outing, despite the stamina in her family; connections turn to 7lb claimer. |
8/1 |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Third of 16 at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) in November on second handicap start and bounced back from lesser run to win at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) last month; has also shown promise elsewhere; her useful dam stayed 3m and is related to stayers and she could have more to offer now up in trip. |

27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Two good efforts in the autumn included a close third of 11 finishers to Crossbeau over C&D (good to soft) but she finished remote at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft; has acted on that surface) in December; needs to return to earlier level. |

24th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |

Won two of his four handicaps over hurdles and wasn't beaten far when fifth two months ago (over 3m on good); may prefer softer ground but brings potential to his chase career. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Launched handicap career with two soft-ground wins over 3m2f this year (one under Freddie Robson); fell when last in action and needs to prove he's fully effective on good ground but could still have significant further improvement to come. |
5/2 |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Well-backed winner when upped in trip on handicap debut at Fontwell (3m2f, soft) in January and easily followed up in conditionals'/amateurs' handicap at Warwick (3m2f, soft) last Friday; in a more competitive race today but escapes a penalty for last time and he could be tough to beat. |

Won off 4lb lower at Worcester (2m7f, good) last August under usual rider Eleanor Williams but out of form since; needs to be back to his peak. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 5 |

Won over hurdles at Worcester (2m7f, good) last August and he's versatile ground-wise; however, he hasn't shone over fences/hurdles on his two starts since and needs to get back on track. |
