28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
0-5 over hurdles but he made it fourth time lucky over fences when scoring at Stratford (2m7f, soft) 19 days ago; was left clear at the second-last but he still hit a personal best with that success and should have more to offer in this sphere; respected up 3lb. |
5/2 |

9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Yet to build on his bumper success in April 2024 but was still in contention when falling four out at Wetherby (3m, soft) in December and may not have got home when last of four finishers at Doncaster (3m, soft) the following month; drops back down in trip and is not out of this. |

Started favourite for the Wetherby event won by Chasingouttheblues, only to fall four out; consistent otherwise and looks a possible danger with a clear round in this third chase attempt. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Lightly raced 6yo who made it 2-3 over fences when completing a double in a Newbury handicap (2m, good to soft) last month; up another 5lb but he rallied well for that cosy success and is open to more progress on this step back up in trip; key player. |
11/4 |

1st 3 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 92y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Left clear when beating an exposed veteran at Southwell (2m, good to soft) but this 6yo hasn't had much racing over hurdles or fences so he's probably on the upgrade; an 8lb rise might not be the end of the world. |
15/8 |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won 2m maiden hurdle here (good to soft) in December 2024 and was a creditable fourth over 2m4f here on chase debut in November (soft; third-placed Whatsyourproblem runs in the 1.02); unexposed and is a potential improver so one to consider. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Both wins over hurdles were here; runner-up in two of his four chase starts, the latest here on Saturday when no match for the winner over 3m1f; fine over this far and has clear claims. |
6/4 |
|
2nd 4 |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
A two-time hurdles winner here last summer; started well over fences this spring when placed at Newcastle (2m7f) and Uttoxeter (2m4f) but pulled up at Ayr last month; has since had wind surgery and no surprise to see him bounce back here. |
7/1 |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Prominent racer; beaten just a neck over hurdles at Haydock (3m, good to soft) in December and ran well in defeat last month in his first two chases (2m7f/2m4f, good to soft); has won on soft; each-way possible. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Some lengthy breaks in his lightly raced profile but it was a positive first run back from wind surgery when beaten 3.5l at Uttoxter three weeks ago (2m4f, good to soft); the burning question is whether he'll be as good again. |
100/30 |
|
4th 6 |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Promising as a novice hurdler last season but, following a walkover in November, he's been disappointing in last three runs over fences; had wind surgery last month but this is highly competitive and he needs a transformation after a short break; cheekpieces added. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 214y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Promising as a novice hurdler last season but, following a walkover in November, his last two chase runs were very disappointing; still has plenty of time to get career back on track but arrives with a point to prove. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Came good over fences with small-field win at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in February but was not in the same form on his latest outing and ran poorly the only previous time he wore cheekpieces; others look safer. |
8/1 |
|
5th 4 |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Dual bumper and hurdle winner; mixed results in his first three runs over fences but he really got his act together when justifying favouritism at Bangor (2m5f, soft) last month; that was a four-runner race but he forged clear in the closing stages and a 6lb rise looks fair; shortlisted. |
9/4 |
|
1st 3 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Useful bumper horse and hurdler but has always struggled with consistency, a pattern that's threatening to continue over fences; however, if in the same form as when second to a sharp improver at Southwell two runs back (2m4f, good to soft; fine on soft) he'd have every chance. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Low-mileage 9yo who completed a hurdle hat-trick when landing a Plumpton handicap (2m4f, good) in November; his winning streak came to an end at Taunton (last of five) in January but that was a Class 2 event and he travelled well to a point; returns after another break but he's out of a useful chaser and should have a future at this new discipline; needs a close look. |
7/1 |

5th 4 |
17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Low-mileage and consistent 9yo; odds-on in winning two minor races last spring (heavy/good) and back from 170 days off to take a Plumpton handicap (2m4f, good) without too much fuss; only 5lb higher and subsequent break might be a good thing. |
5/4 |

17th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |

Easy Newton Abbot maiden winner in the returning hood latest (2m3f, heavy), running back up to his previous best form level; more on under a penalty, but player assuming good ground is coped with. |

Chance on last year's peak form but he appears to have lost his way; quiet so far for current yard. |

5th 4 |
18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Has the form to feature off this mark but in two runs for this yard he's been tailed off over hurdles and pulled up on chase debut. |
33/1 |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Ended last season with string of good efforts over hurdles for the Newland-Insole stable; sold for 18,000gns last spring; may have needed his reappearance run here in October but he now returns after another break and this is a tough assignment on his chase debut. |
