11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Maiden winner and up to winning a handicap off this mark as he was a clear second last time at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft); thereabouts. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 |
8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Battled well to win Taunton maiden (2m3f, good to soft) last season but has not been in the same form in any of his four handicaps this term (2m4f-3m); drops back in trip here; needs to up his game. |
10/1 |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Maiden winner; only six ran when a 10l third in his first handicap (2m7f, good to soft) but should really have run better since then, for all that he was back over 2m4f. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Record of 1-18 over hurdles but he returned after 510 days off with a second at Southwell (2m4f, good) two weeks ago; that was a good effort behind an improver and he's a player if he can build on that. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 10 |
11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Sole win came in the summer of 2023, over 2m4f on good ground; chasing never went to plan two seasons ago but he ran well back over hurdles on final sighting in late 2024; what form he'll be in after an absence is anyone's guess, so best to let the betting guide; tongue-tie added. |

11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Runner-up in his last two races but those were at about 3m and over a year ago now; fully entitled to need this. |
10/1 |
|
10 |
15th Apr 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
0-6 over hurdles; evidently well suited by step up in trip when keeping on well for close second at Plumpton (3m1f, good) 12 days ago but that modest race was won in a slow time and others in this line-up have much more compelling form. |
8/1 |

11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Lightly raced and his third in a 1m7f maiden at Wincanton (good) was a step forward, and that form looks even stronger now; potentially on a nice mark and he's bred for this longer trip; appealing. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Made the frame in three bumpers but has yet to get anything going over hurdles; could do better in handicaps and he'll get a mark after this, but probably still has a place chance. |
4/1 |
|
5th 1 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Suffered a heavy defeat at Huntingdon on the switch to hurdles but could well rebound, having shown consistency by making the frame in three bumpers (including at Kempton) previously. |

11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Beaten 6l in his penultimate race but following run was a reminder of his inconsistency; others safer. |
20/1 |
|
6th 7 |
27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 3 |
10st 3lb |
Has inconsistent form for current stable but ran encouragingly last time (2m5f) while shaping as if this return to further is worth exploring; well treated on historical data, which includes wins off higher marks in 2023 and 2024. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 181y Class 4 |

Ex-Donald McCain; creditable third on stable debut in July (2m4f, good) but hasn't been in top form since. |

11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Won a maiden (2m, good) last spring and went close on handicap debut over C&D (good to soft) in November; off since lesser run the following month (2m7f) but still considered; tongue-tie added. |

Close fourth on bumper debut in April and won run-of-the-mill Worcester maiden hurdle (2m, good) the following month; probably needs to improve to overcome his penalty here but has the potential. |

11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Beaten 22l and 12l since the cheekpieces went on and has only dropped 3lb; opposable. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Made mistakes when third in a Newbury handicap (2m, good to soft) but his Southwell run over 2m4f (good) was disappointing when tried in cheekpieces (persevered with); already looking hard to predict. |
8/1 |
|
5th 6 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Placed in a maiden here and again on handicap debut at Newbury (2m) despite making some mistakes; a combination of this longer trip and first-time headgear could help him in that respect; can go well. |

11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Had won a bumper and a handicap, but his all-the-way win at Wincanton last month (2m4f, good) was a career-best and the first-time visor must have been a factor; the handicapper didn't hold back with a 13lb hike but still much respected. |
5/2 |

1st 4 |
1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Won a bumper on good ground and a handicap hurdle (2m4f) on good to soft; ran right up to his best when third in a Taunton handicap in January but he was disappointing after wind surgery there last month; bit to prove again after that and he needs new headgear to work. |
10/1 |

7th 4 |
9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |

Got back on track when third of 13 in C&D handicap in January; this fair 2m4f winner can't be dismissed off the same mark on the back of wind surgery. |

Chance on last year's peak form but he appears to have lost his way; quiet so far for current yard. |

5th 4 |
18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |

Has the form to feature off this mark but in two runs for this yard he's been tailed off over hurdles and pulled up on chase debut. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Ended last season with string of good efforts over hurdles for the Newland-Insole stable; sold for 18,000gns last spring; may have needed his reappearance run here in October but he now returns after another break and this is a tough assignment on his chase debut. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Runner-up twice for Dan Skelton in the winter (2m3f/3m1f) but left that stable after a disappointing run in March and was pulled up after performing poorly for new yard three weeks ago (2m3f); back up in trip with cheekpieces refitted. |
9/1 |

11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |

Placed in 2m3f/3m1f handicaps but left Dan Skelton for £4,500 and as a nine-race maiden; likely best watched. |
20/1 |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 137y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
4l runner-up on handicap debut at Warwick (2m3f, good to soft) on New Year's Eve and similar outcome in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) last month; this unexposed 6yo could continue to progress for his top stable and he's a possible player. |
