5th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Has stamina in his pedigree but didn't strictly improve for a step up to 2m7f at Bangor (handicap debut) most recently; however, still ran respectably and may build on that effort. |
8/1 |

31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Definite improvement when beaten about 13l into third in a soft-ground maiden at Hereford (2m3f) and the front two that day have progressed to better things; this gelding might do likewise now sent further for his handicap debut. |
5/1 |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Ran okay in two bumpers last season but was tailed off when 150-1 for hurdle debut at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) in November; had wind surgery subsequently but was then beaten 48l in a Ludlow maiden (2m5f, good to soft) last month and doesn't look the answer here. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
6yo maiden who ran well, one place in front of Les's Destiny Star, in first-time visor over C&D (good to soft) last month on debut for new stable and return from lengthy layoff; likely player provided that effort is backed up and the bounce is avoided. |
4/1 |

2nd 9 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
0-11 under all codes and absent since pulled up in 2m2f chase in February 2025; given a chance by the handicapper but could be considered only if lively in the betting; first run beyond about 2m3f; the visor is new. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Maiden who has failed to complete in two starts since handicapping; otherwise interesting on bits of bumper/hurdles form and this is a drop in class. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Just the one good run in his three novice hurdles but that was when 11l second at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) in December; early faller when 18-1 for recent handicap debut at Newbury (3m, good to soft); his stable is in excellent form and he could run well in first-time cheekpieces. |
16/1 |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Best run was an 11l second of eight in a 2m7f novice at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) two starts back; that race didn't have a lot of depth, however; handicap debut. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Low-mileage 8yo who opened his account in Chepstow event (2m7f, good to soft) then finished midfield, not disgraced, over C&D (good) later in April; reasonably solid in current form. |
10/1 |

6th 11 |
21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Beat well-handicapped, odds-on favourite when staying on well to open account at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) 19 days ago, his eighth start over hurdles; 6lb higher here but may yet have more to offer. |
4/1 |

1st 7 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
0-7 over hurdles; not disgraced when sixth of 17 at Exeter (2m7f, good to soft) last month and remains unexposed over this sort of trip but others have more pressing claims. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Lightly raced 6yo who is a bumper winner; respectable third at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft; handicap debut) in latest hurdles attempt; may show progress, provided he stays this new trip. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Good-ground bumper winner last March and has made the frame in two novice hurdles this season; this nicely bred 6yo is open to progress in handicaps; interesting contender. |
4/1 |
|
4th 2 |
16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 140y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Won three-runner course bumper (good; runner-up has done well over hurdles since) last March and made quite promising seasonal/hurdle debut when second (no match for winner) at Hereford (2m, good) in November; moves up in trip today and has a big role to play. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Good-ground bumper scorer; had wind surgery prior to a resurgent effort, finishing 5l third and one place behind Star Turn, over C&D (good to soft) last month in only his second handicap attempt; warrants respect off same mark, with a step forward possible. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Bumper winner; remote when fourth on handicap debut at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in February but was given a wind op last month and remains open to improvement over hurdles for his respected stable. |
14/1 |
|
4th 4 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Course bumper winner (good) who ran okay when fourth of six on hurdle debut at Lingfield (2m3f, good to soft) in November; well beaten on both starts since (2m5f/2m3f, soft) but there's stamina in his family and he could be a different proposition now up in trip and back on better ground in a first-time tongue-tie on his handicap debut; monitor the betting. |
