10th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Seems a spring type and he prevailed at Huntingdon (2m) last month on return from break, adding to his wins last May and taking hurdles record to 3-6 (3-3 on good ground in this sphere); respected with further improvement plausible. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Got his hurdling career off to a perfect start when winning two in a row at Plumpton and Kelso last May; hasn't really gone on from that promise in handicaps and resumes following a five-month break. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Fair Flat stayer who launched hurdling career with two 2m wins in May; slightly disappointing when only fourth at Hexham in June and also below par on the Flat last month but remains unexposed over jumps; upped in trip for handicap debut; a possible. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
0-7 and was below form following a short break when eighth at Stratford (2m, soft) last month; needs to bounce back on this drop in grade on better ground. |

9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Yet to win (0-6) but he ran his best race yet when second at Fakenham (2m Class 4, soft; 6-1) on latest start; competes from the same mark on return from an 11-week absence; needs to his raise game further in this more competitive contest. |
9/1 |

1st Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

There's a suspicion he'll come into his own when tackling further and he'll be vulnerable if bumping into anything useful, but he was runner-up in a C&D maiden (good) in March when last seen and that form has been franked; has also run well on good to soft; strong claims. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Built upon previous form when coming good at the fifth attempt over hurdles at Wetherby (2m, good to soft) last month; up 7lb but if the better ground was the reason for his improvement then he must also be considered here. |
7/2 |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Encouraging third in maiden hurdle at Southwell (2m, good to soft) in December; pulled up on handicap debut here (2m3f, soft) since; might be back on better ground today which, along with the drop back in trip, could make him a different proposition; no surprise to see a good run. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
6yo who has improved with each of his three runs in novice hurdles, finishing third at Southwell (2m, good to soft) last month; placed in a 3m point and open to improvement now up in trip on handicap debut. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
A bumper winner for Henry Daly in October 2024, he ran his best race over hurdles when beaten half a length at Taunton (2m, good) last month following a six-month break; looks sure to pay his way in the coming months and holds claims. |
9/2 |

9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Debut bumper scorer who was shaping up well over hurdles until coming in a below-par third of 12 in 2m Stratford novice in September; off since but no surprise if he took a step forward now going handicapping for shrewd yard. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Free-going front-runner who won twice over C&D last season (soft/good to soft), both times by wide margins in modest mares' races; probably went off too hard when well beaten at Huntingdon last month but steadied the ship with respectable Flat run 24 days ago; sure to be suited by return to this track but stiil needs to prove she can cope with a mark this high. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced on the Flat in France, but she enjoyed a very good winter for her current yard over hurdles, bagging a pair of 2m handicaps at Fakenham; since undergone wind surgery and can make her presence felt back in this sphere. |
6/1 |

5th 8 |
4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Likes to dominate and got off the mark at Fakenham (2m, soft) in December on her ninth start over hurdles; followed up over the same C&D (good to soft) when making all last month; 12lb higher here but difficult to oppose while in this mood. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Productive autumn included a Carlisle hurdles win (2m1f, good) off 4lb lower; two flops either side of a late fall since March, however, and doesn't enter this chasing debut in the same good heart as some. |
12/1 |

6th 1 |
4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Landed his second win over hurdles on his reappearance at Carlisle (2m1f, good) in October and ran well on his next three starts; pulled up at Haydock last month but was in the process of running a good race when falling two out at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) 16 days ago in first-time cheekpieces (retained); decent ground looks to be the key and he should run well. |

19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Won on reappearance at Carlisle (2m1f, good) in October and ran well in defeat on next three starts (about 2m, good/good to soft); pulled up at Haydock only a fortnight ago, when more was amiss than just the 2m3f trip, but he's a player if bouncing back from that blip; cheekpieces go on. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Won over C&D and at Warwick (2m) on good ground in May last year but his two runs in cheekpieces this spring were underwhelming and he needs to respond well to a first-time visor. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |

Last of three wins over hurdles came at Warwick last May off 6lb higher; doesn't look ready to take advantage. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Put a disappointing run of form behind him when returning to winning ways over C&D (good) 11 days ago, making all; whether he can reproduce that effort is another matter but he is still well handicapped on his old form. |

1st 7 |
9th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
