2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
0-11 under rules; didn't run badly when back over hurdles in March but was safely held in both chases last season (2m7f/3m) and has become disappointing. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
No worthwhile form in his handicaps over hurdles and last two chase runs were also underwhelming. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Struggled in handicap hurdles last season and soundly beaten at 40-1 on his chase/seasonal debut at Kelso in November; however, this point winner could improve for that latest outing and take a step forward today. |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
1-9 over hurdles; shaped with clear promise on chase debut when second at Uttoxeter (3m, good) 24 days ago; drop in trip shouldn't be an inconvenience and a bold bid to go one better can be expected. |
13/8 |
|
2nd 4 |
2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Battled well to win over hurdles at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in January and also ran well when clear second to next-time-out winner at Southwell (2m4f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in March; moves back up in trip for this chasing debut and has Irish pointing experience to call upon; high on the list. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 11 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Game in winning at the eighth attempt at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft; 11-4 favourite) two months ago; subsequent 4lb rise looks fair and cheekpieces go on (has twice worn a hood in the past); should be thereabouts. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Still unexposed after only nine races but he was safely held in all three handicap hurdles (2m-2m4f) then pulled up when upped to 2m7f for last month's chasing debut; needs new tongue-tie to make a big difference. |
7/1 |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Showed promise in novice hurdles but he's been well held in three handicaps in that sphere; still has low-mileage but this is his first attempt beyond 2m4f and he needs a transformation on chase debut. |
12/1 |
|
12th 10 |
8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Hasn't progressed in handicaps (2m4f/2m) but still early days and he's unexposed on this sort of ground; hard to dismiss. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Unplaced all six hurdle runs; might improve over fences at some stage but was well beaten when 33-1 for chasing debut at Bangor (3m, good) in March and could be considered only if much stronger in the betting here; swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers. |
14/1 |
|
9th 9 |
31st Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Forgettable form over hurdles, including three handicaps from 2m to 3m; there's a chance he could turn out better over fences but a watching brief seems best on this first attempt. |
12/1 |
|
6th 8 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
In a respected yard but has offered little in either of his handicaps, at 2m and 3m (latterly with cheekpieces added); hard to make a case. |

Longstanding maiden who has been struggling over fences and he's out of the weights here. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Quite well handicapped on last spring's form but was well beaten when back on good ground at Hereford in March and is now 0-24 under rules. |
16/1 |
|
6th 8 |
25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Didn't run badly when last of four finishers at Leicester (2m4f, good to soft; just behind Jack Doyen) this month, after a break, and will be suited by this forecast good ground but he's 0-23 under rules and remains difficult to enthuse over. |

Ex-Irish maiden whose overall record is now 0-12 and he's not finished closer than 10l to a winner; opposable. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Ex-Irish maiden who has failed to complete over fences (fell/pulled up) in the last two of his three runs for current yard; overall record is now 0-11 and he's not finished closer than 10l to a winner; opposable. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |

Ex-Irish maiden; made low-key stable debut in October (breathing issue reported) then looked beaten when falling on latest outing in December; returns with quite a bit to prove. |

11th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |

Has won over hurdles and finished second as a chaser; however, pretty poor in both disciplines since returning from a long absence. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Runner-up on chase debut in summer 2024 but returned from long absence with two disappointing hurdle runs towards end of last year and was also well beaten when back over fences in March (2m5f; first run after wind op); upped to 3m for first time under rules; needs to prove his ability remains. |

Runner-up on chasing debut in summer 2024 but returned from long absence with two disappointing hurdle runs towards end of last year; had wind op during latest 113-day break and now sports first-time cheekpieces; current ability hard to gauge. |

Modest form over jumps so far and has been pulled up on last three chase starts; can only watch from 9lb out of the weights. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |

21st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |

Pulled up/tailed off on all six chase starts and he would be a shock winner from 10lb out of the handicap. |
