13th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Below form over hurdles here last month (2m, good) but had been running well over fences prior to that, with wins at Catterick (1m7f, good to soft; made all) and Southwell (2m, good); up in grade and 5lb out of the handicap, but could go well. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Won on stable/chase debut at Catterick (1m7f, good to soft) in February before bumping into progressive winner there (1m7f, good), and returned to winning ways at Southwell (2m, good) last month; 0-7 over hurdles but could be a very different proposition now; has same mark as last time. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Won on his chase/stable debut at Catterick (by 4.5l; 1m7f, good to soft) and bumped into a big improver back there 20 days ago (on good); seriously considered off the same mark. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Acts on good and soft ground; eight-race maiden but he's finished runner-up in chase handicaps in last two starts including a close call at Southwell in March; only 1lb higher here and he's a player if he copes with this step back up in trip. |
5/1 |

2nd 2 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Lightly raced maiden; two good runs after wind surgery, especially last time when going down by only 2l at Plumpton (2m1f, soft); ran well in a bumper on this sort of ground. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 3 |
23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 219y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Yet to be placed from six runs under rules but he made an encouraging start over fences when fourth of six in a C&D handicap (soft; first run after wind surgery) last month; was only beaten around 6l in that race and has possibilities if he can build on that. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won a C&D handicap in April and was runner-up at Southwell last month but he's not easy to predict and was well below form at Stratford last time; that took his chase record to 1-15 and he needs to bounce back again. |
9/1 |

4th 1 |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Record of 1-14 over fences but that win came at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) in April and he was a front-running second behind a major improver at Southwell (2m, good) last time; this is a different test but his hurdles win was over 2m4f and he still looks feasibly treated; interesting contender. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 2 |
9th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Front-runner who was left clear just after final fence to score at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) in April, opening his chase account at the 12th attempt, but needs to bounce back quickly from a poor run there 12 days ago. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Maiden who is 0-4 over hurdles and fences apiece (2m-2m6f); far from solid on form and chance largely depends on the effects of new trip. |
25/1 |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Looks a low-level maiden and beat only one in 2m3f handicap chase here nine days ago; tongue-strap is refitted here. |
25/1 |
|
10th 12 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Six-race maiden whose chance of getting off the mark depends on whether a change of equipment prompts improvement; cheekpieces replace usual tongue-tie. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Made a winning handicap/chasing debut at Kelso in November (2m1f, soft) and was then second of four on good ground; it was heavy when he pulled up and then, with a hood replaced by cheekpieces, he got back on track with another second over hurdles at this track; should be involved. |

2nd Mar 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Low-mileage 6yo who has raced over fences since switched to handicap level, winning the first attempt but let down by his jumping latest; possibilities back over hurdles, provided he takes well to new headgear. |
5/2 |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Unexposed 6yo who won on his chase debut at Kelso (2m1f, soft) in November and he ran into a major improver when runner-up at Catterick (1m7f, good) the following month; should have more to offer in this sphere and he's respected back on testing ground. |
