1st 2 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Four-time winner over fences including here (about 2m 3f, good) in 2024; last ran over hurdles when second at Wincanton (about 3m, good to soft) and he returns to this sphere after a couple of errors at Plumpton last month; respected. |
7/4 |

3rd 2 |
16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Four-time chase winner (2m3f/3m1f) in 2023 and 2024, two of them here, and shaped promisingly on hurdles return in December after a long absence; left behind a below-par run over fences later that month with a short-head defeat at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) last month; back up 2lb but needs respecting with course form. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Won three out of four chases in October-December 2024 (including C&D, good to soft; handles softer) and was an encouraging second over hurdles here (about 3m) on his comeback from a year's absence; return to fences didn't go well at Taunton later that month but could bounce back following two months off. |

2nd 3 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Dual AW winner on the Flat who was 61l adrift when beating one home on his handicap hurdle debut at Kempton (2m) last month; just a fair effort on the Flat a fortnight ago; upped markedly in trip for his second go in this sphere. |
8/1 |
|
8th 10 (7) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Mainly seen over hurdles lately and is just 2-33 under rules, but one of his wins came over C&D and his last few efforts on the AW off similar marks would give him an each-way chance here. |
13/2 |
|
5th 2 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Goes handicapping for the first time in this sphere but probably doesn't have anything in hand, with opening hurdles mark roughly in keeping with his Flat ability; that doesn't necessarily mean he can't run well. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Not too much encouragement in three maiden hurdles at up to 2m4f but there was a whiff of something on penultimate start and this new trip might help on her handicap debut. |
10/1 |
|
5th 1 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |

Has no form claims and was 500-1 when tailed off in a C&D maiden last time. |

16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Well held in both bumpers and fared no better when tailed off on last month's switch hurdle debut; goes up in trip but big improvement needed. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Losing run is mounting up, as are a string of big defeats; has won over hurdles and fences but she needs to get back on track. |
7/1 |
|
4th 7 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
2-31 over hurdles (soft/heavy) but the losing run is mounting up, as are a string of big defeats; the latest of those came at Hereford just eight days ago and she's out of the weights again. |
12/1 |
|
7th 7 |
16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won twice over hurdles in 2023 (about 2m7f) and once over fences (2m4f) in Feburary 2025, all in the mud; beaten at least 20l on all completions this season, she's opposable despite her fall in the weights. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Matched his previous best when beaten 17l in fourth at Lingfield (about 2m3f, good to soft) in November but pulled up then last (first-time visor) in two subsequent outings; cheekpieces now given a whirl and might come on for latest outing; 6lb 'wrong', though. |
20/1 |

9th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Ran well for a long way when fourth on seasonal debut at Lingfield (2m3f, good to soft) in November but was pulled up over that C&D the following month and is now 0-10 over hurdles; swaps blinkers for first-time visor here; 5lb wrong; others look much more likely. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Hereford winner over fences (2m5f, good to soft) in 2024 who was also second over hurdles at Plumpton (3m1f, good) that year; missed 2025 and fell on his stable debut in February but there were signs he retained ability despite finishing last of five here (about 2m5f, soft) last month; possibilities in a thin event. |
9/2 |
|
5th 4 |
14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Chase winner for Pat Murphy; was entitled to have needed his recent stable debut after almost two years off but was weakening out of it at Plumpton, behind Junior Des Mottes, when coming down at the second last. |
8/1 |
|
4 |
23rd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
2m5f chase winner and has the better form in that discipline, but he's not yet fully exposed over hurdles and his 7l second over C&D in May 2024 was a fair effort on final start for Pat Murphy; makes stable debut returning from a long absence and probably best watched. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Not the biggest and her form figures are uninspiring but there were hints of ability before unseating in Wincanton novice in January; subsequent efforts suggest that might have been a false dawn and she's out of the weights again. |
40/1 |

16 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Soundly beaten in her first two handicaps (2m6f/3m2f) and competes from 5lb out of the weights here; needs to take a big step forward. |
50/1 |
|
6th 7 |
26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Signs of promise prior to unseating in Wincanton novice (2m5f, heavy) in January but tailed off/pulled up on both runs since, most recently when 40-1 for handicap debut at Stratford (2m6f, soft). |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Dual chase winner for Suzy Smith in 2021; returned from 881-day absence with heavy defeat over hurdles here (3m2f, good) for new stable three weeks ago but ran well to a point and may benefit from this drop back in trip; 2lb wrong but worth a second look. |
8/1 |
|
8th 6 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Dual chase winner in the spring of 2021 but he'd lost his form when last seen in November 2023; impossible to predict what this stable debut will produce but he's on a dangerous mark and the market should give firm indications. |
