1st 4 |
25th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 80y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Benefited from a patient ride when wide-margin winner of two-finisher contest at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) last month and has performed well twice since, more recently when staying-on third here (3m1f, good) on Saturday; will be fine stamina-wise if he makes a quick reappearance. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Useful chaser at his best for Paul Nicholls; in good form this spring for his current yard since undergoing wind surgery, scoring at Sedgefield (3m2f) before finishing a good fourth over 3m6f at Perth when set a lot to do; can go well eased 1lb here. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 6f 121y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Not as good as he was but has turned a corner following wind surgery and came home clear at Sedgefield (3m2f, good); that race fell apart in behind but he would probably have won anyway; raised 8lb but had become very well handicapped. |

24th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won by 5l at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) but after a bold ride she was comfortably reeled in on her return visit; probably able off this mark if this race pans out more effectively. |
4/1 |

2nd 2 |
1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Reliable sort who capitalised on a slipping mark when getting off the mark over C&D 22 days ago; back up 6lb but she can go well again. |
7/4 |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
0-8 over fences but made the frame three consecutive times towards end of last year, perhaps most notably when third of ten at Lingfield (2m6f, good) on second occasion; contender if suited by this new trip. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Won a maiden hurdle at Ffos Las in February 2025 (2m6f, heavy); two fair runs over fences this term (fell at the fourth last time) but taking on stronger company here. |
3/1 |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Quick to show fairly useful (winning) form over hurdles and he's made a promising start in this sphere after 13 months off, runner-up in 3m1f handicap at Hereford 25 days ago; this lightly raced son of Mount Nelson looks to have more to offer; merits serious consideration eased 1lb. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 3 |
7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won 2m6f Ffos Las maiden hurdle (heavy; second in a bumper on good) last February; switched to fences for his chase and handicap debut at Exeter (3m, heavy) 16 days ago and weakened as if that first outing for over 12 months was needed; open to improvement. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Yet to score in this sphere but has made the frame on both starts since fitted with blinkers, albeit remote when third of six in 3m1f Catterick handicap chase 36 days ago; possibilities. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 6 |
24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Two novice hurdle wins last term (2m/2m4f, good) and he returned to form in first-time blinkers when going close here (2m3f, soft) last month on third chase start; kept on well last time so this step up in trip is worth a go; could have a part to play if the blinkers maintain their effect. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 3 |
30th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 51y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Two-time novice hurdle winner (2m/2m4f, good), the latest last March; however, he's struggled since, including on both chase starts; the first-time blinkers need to prompt a major turnaround. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Shaped well when a debut hurdling second at Hexham in October 2024 but very lightly raced since and has failed to build on it, beating only one on his handicap debut at Newcastle (2m4f) in January; this winning pointer could still do better now going chasing though. |
10/1 |

6th 2 |
27th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Point winner (3m, heavy) who was runner-up on hurdle debut at Hexham (2m4f, soft) in October 2024; underwhelming on both outings since (good to soft/good), most recently her stable debut 67 days ago, but she could be a contender if tapping back into her initial promise on this handicap debut. |
13/2 |
|
10 |
23rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Irish point winner; solid second, splitting subsequent scorers, in Hexham maiden hurdle (2m4f, soft) six months ago in sole rules attempt; open to progress and respected. |
