13th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Multiple point winner who is now on a roll over fences, making it three wins in his last four starts when doing it comfortably at Warwick (2m4f, good); the 4lb rise seems fair and he's clicked with Isabelle Ryder. |

1st 1 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Multiple point winner who has got his act together over fences with two wins since January; the tongue-tie was new when holding on gamely at Wincanton last time (2m4f, good); just 4lb higher. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Record of 5-8 in points; made his breakthrough under rules when landing a handicap chase at Ludlow (2m4f, good to soft) in January but he was well held at Taunton the following month; has bit to prove again after that and he's now 1-7 over regulation fences; tongue-tie added. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Only three completed when runner-up last week at Plumpton (2m4f, good) and that extended his losing sequence under rules to 36. |

2nd 4 |
26th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
0-35, often placed; recent respectable efforts suggest he's on a tough mark but he's versatile regarding trip and Murray Dodd can claim his full allowance on this occasion, so he should still be competitive. |
5/1 |

4th 6 |
9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
0-30 over hurdles and fences but in the frame on last five starts, two of them here (3m1f/2m4f); deserves to find a race and he should be involved again providing this doesn't come too soon after his run on Tuesday. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
After being placed 12 times he gained an overdue success around here (2m3f, good) in March; let down by his jumping at Warwick since but looks sure to be thereabouts. |
7/4 |
|
3rd 2 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Mostly consistent in defeat over hurdles and the same again over fences until digging the deepest under a positive ride at Stratford (2m3f, good; first-time cheekpieces); must have every chance off 4lb higher. |
4/1 |
|
1st 5 |
28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Consistent over hurdles/fences but she's still to register a victory, runner-up for the third time this season in 2m Leicester handicap chase in December; can't be discounted after a break with cheekpieces added, though. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Bumper/hurdles winner who has posted mixed results since switched to chasing, best effort when third at Warwick (2m4f, good) on penultimate start; mistake contributed to her defeat there latest; still quite unexposed over this distance and not written off. |
15/8 |
|
4th 6 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Bumper and novice hurdle winner; 0-4 as a chaser but best form yet in this scene when a 3l fourth over C&D four weeks ago and entitled to build on that. |
7/4 |
|
3rd 2 |
26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Bumper and novice hurdle winner who is in top hands and has dropped down the weights; could rebound at some stage but she needs to produce more than she's managed on her first three chase starts. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Leads or races prominently; twice made all in the autumn (2m3f, good) and latest fifth at Kelso was a good run as he only weakened late on in a higher grade; respected in the new cheekpieces. |
16/1 |

5th 6 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Twice made all in the autumn (2m3f, good) but his progress has stalled on his last two outings and he needs something extra if he's to return to winning ways today. |
12/1 |
|
4th 3 |
21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Winner on good ground over 2m3f at Stratford and Catterick this season; another fair effort when third of four at Musselburgh last time (2m4f, soft) where he jumped left on occasions; return to a left-handed track should suit and he can go well (won a bumper on soft ground). |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won a bumper but beaten between 23l and 46l over hurdles (2m); 28-1 for last month's chase debut at Warwick (2m4f, good) where she was still in touch when falling five out; there was still a long way to go but this looks an even weaker race. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won her bumper here; beaten between 23l and 46l over hurdles (2m) so goes chasing/handicapping with much to prove on a few counts. |
15/2 |

11th 3 |
19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
All three starts over 2m on good ground; 15-2 and won small-field bumper at Warwick in May; beaten 23l on hurdles debut at Worcester in October but that form received an elephantine boost when the winner landed the Dawn Run at last week's Cheltenham Festival; had an excuse (bled) when last seen in November; requires a second look. |
