Ended last season in excellent form, winning twice here (2m/2m2f) on good ground, and is probably still on a workable mark; big chance. |

Readily gained a first victory in over two years when capitalising on a reduced mark in 2m handicap here nine days ago; carries a 7lb penalty but can go well again. |

Soundly beaten on first two starts for Gary Hanmer but his fifth of 11 at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) a fortnight ago was much more encouraging; could have a say if able to build on that recent effort. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Displayed considerable improvement when winning easily by 12l on last month's handicap hurdle debut at Hereford (2m, good); managed only third under 7lb penalty here (2m2f, good) eight days later and is another 5lb higher today, but he moves up in trip again and remains of interest. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |

Fair maiden on the Flat who greatly advanced his form on his handicap hurdle debut when scoring easily at Hereford (2m) eight days ago; major shout under a 7lb penalty. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Five-race Flat maiden; clear pick of his three hurdle runs when third of seven at Ludlow (2m, good to soft); needs to leave behind a lesser effort at Huntingdon (2m, good) last time when ridden more prominently, but he brings potential now stepping into handicaps. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Fair bumper performer who has matched that form in this sphere, still not foot perfect when a good second of five in 2m Fakenham novice last month; this return to further should suit so he's very much one to consider, especially if hurdling better. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has been let down by his jumping on his last two starts, latest on handicap debut when 13th of 15 at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) last month; can do better once his jumping technique improves. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 179y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
He's not obviously well treated off his opening mark but this 5yo has been consistent across his six starts (all at 2m) and his pedigree provides optimism that he'll improve for the step up in trip; possible player. |

11st 6lb |
Won at Worcester (2m, good) last July and he ended last year with two close calls over 2m4f; well-held fifth on reappearance at Market Rasen last month but he may have needed that run and has claims if he can get back near best. |

Scored at Worcester (2m) last July and posted a very good second of 11 in 2m4f handicap there when last seen out in October; this course winner has gone well fresh so must enter calculations. |

22nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

4yo who won here (2m, good) in July on his third handicap start and was beaten just a neck when upped to 2m4f at Southwell (good) three weeks ago; unexposed at the trip and entitled to respect. |

Ex-French mare; fortunate to win small-field Catterick novice (1m7f, good) for Paula Smith on British debut in March 2025 and soundly beaten in all five subsequent handicaps, the last four times for new stable this year; drops back in trip (from 2m4f). |
