19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Justified favouritism at Wincanton (2m4f, good) last time, recording a first win over hurdles since 2023; fairly consistent and looks worth a crack at this new trip so may remain competitive; whether he can follow up is a different matter. |

1st 7 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Not quite in peak form this season but has still made the frame in some good-quality contests, most recently when close fourth of 15 at Ascot (2m3f, good to soft) last month; in calmer waters here and will be suited by the faster ground; leading claims. |
7/2 |

14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 63y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Largely consistent record at Ascot includes a sixth-place finish in this contest last year and placed effort in latest start; on a 13-race losing sequence but should give his running. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Yet to make any significant progress since winning hurdle debut in autumn 2024 but still has fairly low mileage and gave good account when keeping-on third in first-time tongue-tie at Chepstow (2m7f, soft; first run after wind op) last month; should be okay over this shorter trip; each-way claims. |
5/1 |

3rd 8 |
21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Runner-up at Newton Abbot (extended 2m6f) and Exeter (extended 2m2f) on his first two runs this term; weakened right out of it when upped in trip for King Of The Lake's C&D race at Christmas and had wind surgery soon afterwards; also now tongue tied first time and needs to resume progress. |
10/1 |

2nd 5 |
29th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 122y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Exeter maiden winner (2m2f, good to soft) but he struggled on handicap debut at Plumpton (2m4f, good) in April; has good pedigree and is still unexposed in this sphere but he needs to resume his progress after a break. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Scored with a tongue-tie added at Plumpton (2m4f, good to soft) last month and he ran to a similar level when a 2l third at Wincanton (2m4f, good) last time; has been as good as ever in those last two runs and he won this race last year; respected. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 8 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Back in prime form when scoring in first-time tongue-tie at Plumpton (2m4f, good to soft; front pair clear) a fortnight ago and now 4-10 over hurdles; recent 4lb rise does not look excessive and he should be fine on the faster ground here; likely contender. |
4/1 |
|
1st 2 |
9th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Pulled up on seasonal debut but fared better when fourth (albeit tired and well held in the end) at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) in January and is now only 1lb higher than for last spring's Fontwell win (2m5f, good); contender if aided by new tongue-tie. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Mixes chasing with hurdling and is largely consistent; didn't fire at Kempton last month but is now 3lb lower than when second to Celtic Art at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) two starts ago and won't be far away if quickly back on song. |

5th 5 |
21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Mixes chasing with hurdling and holding his form well, making most of the running when 3l second of five at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) five weeks ago; firmly in the mix again. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 2 |

Mixes chasing with hurdling and consistent in the main; solid enough efforts in this discipline the last twice and Rian Corcoran's claim will come in handy; fine on all ground. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Very useful hurdler/chaser in his prime; well below best during a fairly light campaign last season (four hurdle runs; cheekpieces added last time) but will appreciate this ease in grade and has slipped to a dangerous mark. |
12/1 |
|
5th 4 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Made a quite encouraging seasonal debut in November but well beaten twice since, albeit on heavy ground last time; drops back in trip on a dangerous mark but needs to be perked up by the first-time cheekpieces. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Useful bumper performer (course winner on good ground) who opened hurdling account in maiden here (1m7f, soft) in December; big player on this handicap debut if judged on that evidence but two rather disappointing efforts have followed (2m/2m4f); tongue-tie added. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 1y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Good bumper form; fell in a strong Chepstow maiden when running well and then won in a big field at Wincanton (1m7f, soft); well held when penalised at Kempton (good) but the winner is well above average; bred for this far. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Six-time hurdle winner who hit a personal best when scoring at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) in January but his form has slumped in two subsequent runs; has bit to prove again and this is competitive on this drop back in trip. |
14/1 |
|
8th 2 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Showed career-best form when comfortably winning from Bourbali at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) in January and a subsequent lesser effort on heavy ground there is not viewed harshly; has been ridden by a good 7lb claimer lately, though, and might find others better handicapped. |
9/2 |
|
5th 5 |
12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 104y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Has done very well over 2m3f here in recent months, winning twice and second in between; those results were achieved on good/good to soft and today's much deeper ground is a slight concern given he's been below par on both hurdle outings on heavy. |
