14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
3-4 over fences, the last two wins gained by wide margins in small fields at Doncaster (2m3f, good/good to soft); shooting up the weights but evidently in very good nick. |

1st 2 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 31y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Got right back on the up when making it 2-3 over fences in C&D handicap two weeks ago; hiked up 8lb but well on top at the finish there so he's a big player for stable well among the winners. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 31y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Disappointing at Taunton (2m, good to soft) last month but reportedly unsuited by that tight track; prior to that he won here (2m, good to soft) on his chase debut, and his last two hurdle wins came over 2m3f; has a strong record at this course and could play a leading role now back here. |

3rd 2 |
29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 13y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Listed bumper runner-up who failed to win over hurdles (0-4) but went in at the first try over fences at Wincanton in December (2m4f, soft), when well on top late on to collect by 6l (5lb lower); since then he'll pulled up and finished 13l behind the winner when only three completed at Doncaster (2m3f, good); he's not crying out to be backed after those efforts but there's no depth to this. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 31y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Listed bumper runner-up who showed improved form to win by 6l on his chase and handicap debut at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) in December; flopped at Hereford (2m5f, soft) subsequently but perhaps paid the price for chasing a strong pace and he could bounce back with a bold show. |

29th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 122y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Bumper winner who flopped as favourite in his two hurdle runs (2m/2m3f) last season but he bled from the nose on both occasions; had wind surgery since his last run and interesting to see if the money arrives for him again after 284 days off. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 93y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
French chase winner at this trip on soft ground; he hasn't really got a lot going over fences in Britain, with two 14l defeats as good as it's got; he has at least dropped 13lb for his troubles and he'll probably come good sooner or later. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 31y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
French chase winner (2m6f, soft) who hasn't threatened across his three British starts, and this expected return to better ground may be against him; however, there was some promise in his 14l third of five at Sandown (2m4f, soft) last time and that race is working out very well. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 6 |
31st Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 15y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Needs improvement on his good-ground efforts for new yard but may show the benefit of the return to forecast slower conditions, having gained his French success (chase) on soft. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 31y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Hasn't fulfilled the promise shown when winning his first two hurdle starts in late 2024 but Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) in December was a step back in the right direction in a first-time tongue-tie (retained) and this point winner could be suited by the switch to fences; possible player. |
3/1 |

24th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Dual 2m4f novice winner towards end of 2024, beating a useful rival at Sedgefield (good to soft) on latter occasion; returned from break with disappointing run in April (raced too freely) but still looks interesting on this handicap debut; had wind operation during summer break. |
