5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Still winless after 20 starts but placed over hurdles and fences at up to 2m4f (all on a sound surface); did too much too soon when failing to see it out at Exeter (2m, good) last time but had been running consistently well beforehand from this sort of mark and could have a part to play back over fences. |

0-19 but placed over both hurdles and fences at up to 2m4f (all on a sound surface); has been competitive from this mark on her last three starts and should be again. |

Longstanding maiden but was close up in her final handicap hurdle and ran okay in her first chase (2m2f, good), for all that she was no match for the clearcut winner; should have a role to play. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Six-race maiden over hurdles but already shaping as a better proposition over fences, building on an encouraging second on debut to get off the mark at Plumpton (2m1f, good) last month; 4lb rise looks fair given the likelihood of further progress and he can make his presence felt. |

1st 2 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 219y Class 5 |

Still a maiden over hurdles; inherited second place on chase debut at Taunton (2m, good) but that was a decent first attempt as he wasn't beaten far; same mark for this. |

2nd 2 |
9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 12y Class 5 |

Still a maiden over hurdles but he posted a respectable fifth in 2m Windsor handicap on New Year's Day; goes chasing after a break here and no forlorn hope. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
0-7 over hurdles though reaching the frame on three starts at Plumpton this year, all over 2m; made an underwhelming switch to fences last month at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) trailing in last of the five finishers; needs to raise her game. |
20/1 |

8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
0-7 over hurdles but made the frame on all three outings this year (all over 2m at Plumpton); moves back up in trip for this chasing debut with cheekpieces (worn once) removed; seems versatile regarding ground; can feature if he gets into a good jumping rhythm. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |

Beaten between 15l and 58l in seven starts for this yard, six of those handicap chases; the blinkers did nothing last time. |
14/1 |

5th 8 |
5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Best effort for current stable came when a well-held third at Taunton (2m2f, good) in March but her overall profile remains disappointing; the blinkers need to spark significant improvement. |
33/1 |

5th 4 |
14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Not disgraced when third (well held in the end) at Taunton (2m2f, good) last month but generally disappointing for new stable this season and now 0-10 under rules. |

£26,000 3yo; second foal; dam multiple AQPS Flat/hurdle/chase winner; stable is 0-26 in bumpers during the last five seasons, so it's probably wise to wait for some encouraging signals from the betting. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Turned his attention to chasing fairly late in life but made a solid start when second of six at Wincanton in April; didn't back that up when never travelling at Hereford (also 2m, good) nine days ago and has a question to answer after that. |
16/1 |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Four-time hurdle winner, all at around 2m; made a belated switch to fences last month and shaped with plenty of encouragement when runner-up at Wincanton (2m, good), which also represented a return to some form; needs to back that up but he remains well treated and is one to consider. |
6/1 |

2nd 4 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 149y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Three-time Flat winner and successful four times over hurdles; however, hasn't been running all that well under either code following a year on the sidelines and this is a belated first attempt at chasing. |

11st 8lb |
Fifth foal; closely related to 2m4f chase winner Thunder In Milan, half-brother to very useful chaser Kiltealy Briggs; dam unraced sister to Grand National winner Ballabriggs; likely to need longer trips to be seen to best effect and probably best watched on debut. |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |

Returned to form with creditable second at Taunton (2m, good) last month, his third start for David Brace, but was pulled up on recent chasing debut and has become hard to predict. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Dual soft-ground hurdle winner (handles good) in early 2024 but had been badly out of sorts prior to his second at Taunton (2m, good) last month; now switches to fences and needs to build on that revival, though he remains attractively treated on old form. |
9/2 |

2nd 10 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Dual soft-ground hurdle winner (handles good) in early 2024 but has struggled for form since, including on both starts for this stable; latest C&D effort offered a glimmer of encouragement and he's well treated on old form, but he needs another step forward today. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |

Has lost her way badly since her win/place form over fences last summer; cheekpieces tried last time are swiftly removed; couldn't trust. |
14/1 |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
2m1f chase winner at Stratford a year ago but has largely struggled to reproduce that level, including after wind surgery; continues to ease in the weights and cheekpieces are enlisted, but others arrive with much more persuasive credentials. |
