23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Ran well in a bumper here last April on debut (good to soft) and, having had wind surgery, he made a winning handicap debut at 9-2 at Bangor (2m3f, good) last month; did it easily and a 10lb rise may not stop him. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
All runs on good to soft or soft; third in a bumper and has been showing enough to believe he'll pay his way in handicaps, last time finishing just ahead of Titanium Ring at Ludlow; likely contender after wind surgery. |

18th Feb 2026 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
All runs on good to soft; third in a Perth bumper and left his first run over hurdles behind when fourth in a 2m maiden at Southwell (fitted in a first-time tongue-tie); doesn't have compelling claims. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won a C&D handicap (good to soft) last April but he's not come close to that form in four subsequent runs and latest was back here in March; has some questions to answer and he's still 3lb higher than for his last win. |

Bang out of form in his last three races but only four starts back last April he won as he liked around here (good to soft) off 5lb higher; couldn't put a line through him. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won a 2m handicap in 2024 for Henry de Bromhead; back to form in November on first run for this yard and not discredited next time but, with tongue-tie fitted after wind surgery, she pulled up lame on chase debut in January and was well beaten when upped to an extended 2m3f three weeks ago; this trip is a big step into unknown territory. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Won a handicap hurdle for Henry de Bromhead whom she left for £5,500; they were perfectly respectable runs over hurdles for this yard in the winter and her non-completion last time (after wind surgery) was over fences; couldn't dismiss. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
In cracking form this season, with three wins and a second, until however he went down by 25l at Bangor (good) on latest start; maybe the ground that day was not soft enough; major player if bouncing straight back. |
13/2 |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
A lot more exposed than many in here but he's been in cracking form since returning from an absence and his defeat at Leicester was no backward step (2m4f, good to soft); firmly in the mix. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Has thrived since returning from a break in December, winning two of his three runs over hurdles before adding a third win of the season reverting to fences at Market Rasen (2m3f, soft) last month, each time under Benjamin Macey; he's up 4lb for last time but is very much a leading contender in current form. |

Unexposed after only four hurdle runs but was soundly beaten on last month's handicap debut at Bangor (2m3f, good); goes beyond about 2m5f for first time here. |

Signs of progress when fourth behind a useful winner in a 2m Ludlow novice last month (2m, soft) and handicaps were always going to be more like it; respected. |

27th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Veteran who returned to form when landing a gamble with his smooth success over C&D (good; cheekpieces added) three weeks ago; up 6lb but he beat a clear second last time and he's still unexposed at this sort of trip; big player. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Well handicapped on his Uttoxeter win (3m, good) last July but he's 0-9 since and has been out of sorts this year; has something to prove and he was pulled up in only go at this sort of trip; cheekpieces (last used in October) are reapplied. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |

Arrives in no sort of form but he has been running over 2m and he's won over nearly 3m in the past; back up in trip and off a reduced mark, there's some cause for optimism. |

Modest run last time but wasn't far away in his two previous runs after a wind operation and there are races in him off this mark. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
His three qualifying starts were over a trip that looked short of ideal; couldn't take a significant step forward when upped to 2m4f at Uttoxeter in June (good); returns from a break and wind surgery needing improvement to defy this mark. |

Twice a runner-up in bumpers; failed to build on earlier promise in this sphere when pulled up on his handicap debut at Bangor (2m4f) three weeks ago; cheekpieces are retained and he could still do better for good yard. |
