Registered an easy success in Class 5 contest at Doncaster (2m3f) on handicap debut when last seen four months ago, opening his hurdles account; now 12lb higher and upped in grade but may be capable of further progress in this sphere; not ruled out. |

British challenger won a novice at Market Rasen on his second start; third off this mark in both handicaps, over 24.5f at Haydock and 21.5f at Wetherby; needs to find a bit more. |

27th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 56y Class 4 |

3m Irish point winner in April who followed up on stable debut in Market Rasen novice in October before matching that form when second at Ludlow (also about 2m5f, good) the following month; below par on softer ground at Doncaster in December but drying conditions should help and goes up in trip for this handicap debut; unexposed and considered. |

Justified favouritism in 2m3f mares' handicap most recently, taking Wetherby record to 3121; faces a stiffer assignment in this field, back against males, but holds solid claims kept to this venue. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 4 |

She could do with settling better but perhaps the heavy ground was too much at Newcastle last month; won C&D maiden (good to soft) in December 2024 and runner-up to handicap blot in C&D handicap (soft) in November; could bounce back and play a leading role now back here. |

2m3f maiden hurdle winner who has shaped with promise in handicaps on both runs this season, most recently runner-up at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) behind a handicap blot; mark unchanged and she's a strong candidate. |

12st 2lb |
Hooded when solid third over C&D (good) at the end of last year and scored at Plumpton (about 2m4f, soft) on next start in February; revised mark has seen him held in two subsequent starts but that doesn't tell the whole story as they were seriously competitive series qualifiers; cheekpieces (worn once over hurdles when second here 13 months ago) are reapplied and he needs a firm second look. |

Finally took advantage of some leniency from the handicapper when winning at Sandown (2m4f, good) two weeks ago, always in the firing line; still well treated on old form but he's not sure to be so effective back over this shorter trip. |

Kept on for sixth of 21 in first-time visor at Aintree (2m, good to soft) a fortnight ago and will be suited by this move back up in trip, but his last win came in 2022 and he's patently not the force of old. |

Combination of handicaps, a wind operation and this headgear has made a different, delivering form figures of 132 in 2m5f-3m handicap hurdles before faring less well after 97 days off at Wetherby; hard to be confident on the back of that but no surprise should he run well now his attention is turned to fences. |

Maiden prior to showing improvement with solid performances (132) since having wind surgery and wearing cheekpieces, most recently beaten only narrowly at Ascot (2m7f) three months ago; that form has been franked by the winner since; goes well fresh and holds strong claims returned to the scene of his October win. |

Completed a hat-trick when winning at Kelso (extended 2m5f) ten days ago, making it 2-2 over fences, with all victories coming on good ground (handles soft); had a hard enough race there and shoulders a penalty here, so the booking of 5lb claimer William Shanahan looks a positive and another bold showing can be expected if this run doesn't come too soon. |

Low-mileage maiden whose form (point/bumper/hurdles) stacks up well; debut in this sphere was behind a horse who has since run well in the Turners; open to progress now handicapping over a new trip with tongue-tie fitted; interesting contender who could be on a very workable opening mark. |
