5th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Proved well suited by the step back up to 3m1f and good ground when keeping on well to score at Ffos Las last month; faces a different question here off 5lb higher but likely to be thereabouts if reproducing the effort. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Inconsistent over the last 12 months or so, but second at Exeter in November showed that he stays 2m7f and his best effort since was on latest outing (a rallying third over 2m4f three weeks ago); much more to prove if the ground is not softer than good, but he has to be considered. |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Pulled up on chasing debut in January (wore cheekpieces) and did not see out 3m on heavy ground when back over hurdles here (first-time blinkers) last month; current mark is workable and this drop back in trip looks the right move but others in the field have much less to prove. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Third at Market Rasen (extended 2m2f, good to soft) on Boxing Day has been the only bright spot in his four races this autumn/winter; now has a 2lb lower mark and goes beyond an extended 2m4f for the first time. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 179y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Pulled up on two of last three runs, so isn't a reliable proposition; however, in between he kept on for a good third at Market Rasen (extended 2m2f, good to soft) and he is of interest on that form, if on a going day. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Ten-race maiden; sent handicapping for last four starts, on last two occasions finishing runner-up on soft going over 3m2f at this track and Fontwell; different ground is forecast today but he's in serious calculations. |

18th May 2025 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
From a very good jumping family; struggled in two slow-ground maiden hurdles in February (2m6f/2m3f) but took huge step forward and belied triple-digit odds wen very respectable fourth at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft) last month; has strong claims here if he handles the quicker conditions (ran okay in a good-ground bumper last spring). |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
19 races for two wins, the latest in January 2025; creditable minor honours on all four starts this season, albeit as favourite on first three occasions; one of those was under Harriet Tucker; stays 3m2f and will probably be thereabouts. |
5/1 |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Two wins overall (latest in January 2025) and ran creditably for third on her three starts this season, albeit as favourite on all three occasions; tried a visor last time but her usual cheekpieces return today; should have another prominent finish. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Five-time hurdle winner who ended last year with a brave success at Hereford (3m2f, good to soft); well held there in both runs this spring but he got involved in a battle up front last time; a player if he can get back near his best. |
13/2 |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Steadily worked his way back to form this season, culminating in a narrow win over C&D (good to soft; 5lb higher today) in December under 7lb claimer; reverted to a lesser show 19 days ago but perhaps he needed that run after more than three months off. |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Had been struggling but has steadily got himself back on track and prevailed narrowly over C&D in December on latest appearance; 6lb higher for this and connections claimed another 7lb last time through Isabelle Ryder, but he had dropped to a fair mark anyway. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Veteran whose last win under rules was in 2020 (won a point early in 2024); fourth of 16 at Chepstow in January may look the only positive result in his nine races this season but he was beaten 35l, so that does not persuade; not even with his 37lb fall in the weights this term. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
In poor form over hurdles and fences for new stable this season and getting very long in the tooth now but has plummeted down the weights and may yet stage some sort of a revival; watch the betting. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |

One-time smart hurdler/chaser but very much on the decline these days and is best watched after some ordinary efforts this season. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Now only 1lb higher than when winning at Huntingdon (3m1f, good to soft; also suited by good) in November but has become inconsistent and was pulled up on latest outing seven weeks ago; not easy to predict. |
8/1 |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
5-27 over hurdles, the latest win gained at Huntingdon (extended 3m1f, good to soft; 2lb higher today) in November; has a shout on that showing but there have been backward steps in his two starts since. |
5/1 |

4th 3 |
15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
5-26 over hurdles, the latest win gained at Huntingdon (3m1f, good to soft) in November; not in same form when third of four at Fakenham (2m7f, good to soft) last month and may not have much margin for error off current mark but still enters calculations. |
