8th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Placed in an Irish point but he's offered little in a pair of 2m novice hurdles for his current yard, undergoing breathing surgery before being pulled up at Wetherby on his return in January; has plenty to prove. |
50/1 |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Mixed form among his five (winless) point starts and absent since tailed off on hurdle debut at Hexham last March; however, he was just 11-2, he's had wind surgery since, and his stable has been enjoying an excellent season; interesting to see what the market makes of him on his return. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Quite useful on the Flat at his best; always behind on first two hurdling starts and didn't achieve huge amount when well-held third in slowly run Southwell maiden (2m, good) last month but is still worth a glance in the betting before this handicap hurdle debut; tongue-tie refitted. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
A fair 1m4f Flat scorer for David Menuisier but yet to fire for his current yard, including in two hurdles; can't make a case for. |

A fair 1m4f Flat scorer for David Menuisier but yet to fire for his current yard, including on his hurdling debut at Southwell (2m) last month; not easy to make a case for. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Four-time winner on the Flat for Richard Hughes and it's been a promising start over hurdles, winning a Southwell maiden last time without too much fuss (good); penalised accordingly but sets the standard. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Fairly useful four-time AW Flat winner in these silks for Richard Hughes and promising second of ten on his Warwick hurdle debut (2m, good to soft) for Olly Murphy 24 days ago; entitled to improve and the one to beat. |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Four-time AW winner at up to 2m on Flat for Richard Hughes, reaching an RPR of 85 (has shown a similar level of form on turf); remains with same owner; has the potential to become a fairly useful hurdler. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Did well in bumpers and came good at the second attempt over hurdles at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) in December; bettered that form when second at Wincanton (2m5f, heavy) in January; unable to make an impact in the EBF mares' final (handicap) at Newbury last month but bold show looks assured back in a novice. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 1 |

Did well in bumpers and going the right way over hurdles, on last two starts winning at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) and second at Wincanton (2m5f, heavy); needs further progress in this good race for handicap debut. |

8th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Well held in a Haydock bumper back in 2022 and was having his first run since when a remote sixth of ten in a C&D novice 20 days ago; in good hands but significantly more is needed from this son of Workforce. |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |

Half-brother to winners Copper Fox (2m hurdle; RPR 106) and Golden Chancer (3m/3m3f hurdle; 103); tailed off at 16-1 on debut in Haydock bumper (1m7f, good to soft) in 2022 and absent since; a watching brief is advised. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
0-11 on the Flat and 0-4 over hurdles; made a fairly encouraging handicap hurdle debut when sixth of 13 at Southwell (2m, good) this month, though, and might be boosted by refitted cheekpieces here. |
7/1 |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Modest maiden on Flat and a similar story over hurdles, all maidens; handicaps are now a better option but he's unconvincing. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |

Modest maiden on Flat; reached the frame on the first of two hurdle outings at Huntingdon in recent months but the form is barely modest; more needed. |
33/1 |
Verdict
This race has no depth and clear form pick STRONG RUN may have to worry about only the hurdling newcomer Road To Wembley and he would probably prefer drier ground.[Alistair Jones]
