21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Came good when switched to handicaps in the autumn, winning over 2m at Worcester (good) and Cheltenham (soft), but is yet to make any further progress; flopped badly when warm favourite at Exeter (2m) a fortnight ago and has a point to prove on this first venture beyond about 2m4f under rules. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Kicked off the season with handicap wins at Worcester (good) and Cheltenham (soft); has looked in the grip of the handicapper since but this is a drop in grade, so certainly not dismissed. |
6/1 |

3rd 4 |
27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Won on handicap/seasonal debut at Worcester (2m, good) in October and followed up in big field at Cheltenham (2m, soft) in November; slightly disappointing when favourite at Cheltenham last month but could still have more improvement to come over today's longer trip. |

25th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Returned to form with two placed runs towards end of last season (2m7f/3m, good), and wasn't beaten far when eighth, behind Al Sayah, at Haydock (3m, good) this month; Sean Bowen rides here; can make presence felt. |
11/1 |

8th 10 |
9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Inconsistent and only 1-18 under rules; placed twice from four starts over C&D, including when third to Serious Chat on latest start, but there appear to be more potent options among his rivals. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 10 |
15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Only 1-17 but has flashes of smart form in good handicaps and easily his best run for ages when a rallying second at Bangor last month (2m7f, good; effective on softer); weighted to win races and seriously considered. |

25th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Won twice over today's trip at Warwick for Dan Skelton last season (soft/good to soft); started off for Christian Williams with two pretty good efforts on good ground towards the end of that campaign but may find others in this line-up better handicapped. |
12/1 |
|
4th 11 |
24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 127y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Won races for Dan Skelton (2m1f/2m3f) and Olly Murphy (3m1f); now on a career-high mark, off which he was no match for the front two on stable debut at Bangor (2m7f). |
9/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Won twice over hurdles for Dan Skelton last season (2m1f/2m3f) and twice for Olly Murphy this term (3m1f); ran poorly on latest outing five weeks ago, though, and remains on career-high mark for this stable debut. |

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. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Promising over hurdles last season and he's well handicapped on his chase form from the end of last year; however, he's finished down the field over fences/hurdles on his last two starts; blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
12/1 |
|
5th 3 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Dual 2m hurdle winner (once here) last season who showed considerable promise over fences towards end of last year; suffered a fall and a heavy defeat last month but now reverts to hurdling on a tempting mark; completely unexposed over this sort of trip under rules; interesting. |
5/1 |
|
8th 10 |
14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Fairly useful bumper/hurdles scorer who shaped well on his chasing debut when third in 2m Aintree handicap in October; has failed to build on it though in three subsequent outings, falling at the ninth fence at Doncaster (2m4f) nine days ago; has something to prove now. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Career-best form came here in December when scoring over 3m2f (good to soft); hasn't really approached that level since, in cheekpieces and blinkers (new) the last twice. |
15/2 |

6th 1 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Posted career-best effort when scoring at Warwick (3m2f, good to soft) in December but two laboured efforts have followed this year; wore refitted cheekpieces last time; first-time blinkers are given a whirl here. |
9/1 |
|
7th 4 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
3-15 over hurdles, latest win at Warwick (3m2f, good to soft) on New Year's Eve; below form on latest outing, though, and needs to bounce back with career-best effort here; cheekpieces (absent this term) are refitted. |
8/1 |
