27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Point winner who was 1-8 over hurdles but he made a smooth transition to chasing when scoring over C&D (good; 13-2) three weeks ago; up 3lb but he travelled well for a long way last time and hit a personal best with that convincing success; interesting contender. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Landed a Southwell maiden hurdle (2m4f, soft) in March 2024; largely out of form in limited starts since but there were signs of a revival here (3m2f, good) last month in first-time cheekpieces; needs to back that up but could improve for this switch to fences. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Won a Southwell maiden (2m4f, soft) in March 2024 but he's had only six runs since and has struggled in his last three handicaps; may have needed his comeback run (2m7f) in February but he needs a major revival back up in trip; cheekpieces added. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Appreciated better ground when opening his chase account at the fourth attempt at Exeter (3m, good to soft) in March, but took a heavy fall back there the following month; still has more to offer in this sphere and he's respected if that latest effort hasn't dented his confidence. |

7th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 54y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Didn't hang about over hurdles and seemed to appreciate getting away from slow ground when edging home in a C&D good-ground handicap three weeks ago, on only his fourth run over fences; up 5lb but probably improving. |

12st 0lb |
Unseated rider on seasonal/chase/handicap debut in December and was safely held on next two outings (both on slow ground) but he'll appreciate this ease in grade and may yet come good for his top stable. |

3rd 2 |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Suffered a couple of heavy defeats after a long absence but then went very close to a first chase win in first-time blinkers at Southwell (3m, soft) last time, with the winner running well since; remains on a competitive mark and is one to consider if the headgear continues to have a positive effect. |

2nd Mar 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Well treated on best chase efforts; has suffered a couple of heavy defeats since returning from sizeable layoff but the fitting of blinkers may prompt a resurgence. |
13/2 |

9th 5 |
16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 6f 50y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Tailed off at Chepstow three weeks ago after an absence and this 9yo needs to prove how much ability he retains; however, he's in top hands and is on a dangerous mark; not discounted with the step back up in trip a plus. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
0-4 over fences this term but far from disgraced on a couple of starts and ran respectably when fourth back over hurdles at Plumpton (3m1f, good) last month; yet to win in handicap company but drops in class returned to fences and warrants respect. |
7/2 |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Record of 0-4 switched to fences this term, albeit far from disgraced on two occasions; 2-6 over hurdles and finished a creditable second at Plumpton (2m4f) last April in most recent attempt; each-way possibilities. |
9/1 |

3rd 6 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Younger than most of these and posted a career best when second at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) in February; stiffer task in C&D non-handicap next time; unexposed over this trip and beyond, and drying ground may suit (last win came on good); definitely of interest in first-time headgear. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Didn't appear to stay 3m5f at Bangor two starts ago but fared little better when pulled up at Exeter last month back at a trip that should have suited; had been in good form prior to those runs and would hold at least place claims if able to rekindle that earlier spark. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 137y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
In good form over fences prior to heavy defeat at Bangor where he failed to stay 3m5f; could go well now back down in trip on first hurdle start since December 2024. |
16/1 |

6th 8 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 5f 142y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
0-7 over fences but has been running well, not beaten at all far the last twice in races at about 3m; however, although a 3m2f winner over hurdles, 3m6f appeared too far at Exeter in December. |
