14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Just four starts over fences and, after finishing tailed off in the first and refusing in the second, he showed he might be getting the hang of things when sixth of ten at Exeter (2m3f, good; weakened) last month; needs to take another step forward but that's not out of the question. |

Maiden hurdler who hasn't looked a natural over fences, refusing two runs back; opposable. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Ready win when beating seven others at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) on his second start chasing and looked set to defy a penalty when coming down at the last over C&D (good to soft) in October; jumping has been a bit of an issue since and he was narrowly in front when again coming down at the final fence back at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) one month ago; hood joins his regular tongue-tie. |
2/1 |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Won readily by 6l here (2m3f, good) in October and was unlucky not to follow up at Fontwell (2m2f, good to soft) soon afterwards; managed only fourth over C&D on last two appearances but current mark is workable if this race is run to suit his usual patient tactics. |
6/4 |
|
4th 3 |
15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won a novice handicap over 2m3f here in October (good); fair runs on last two starts, notably when second to a subsequent winner over 2m at Huntingdon (good to soft; didn't jump too well); good track record and one with a chance. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Safely held when fourth over fences at Fontwell (2m2f, good) this month but that was his first run since November (also his first after a wind op); reverts to hurdling on mark just 2lb higher then when winning this race by 14l on good ground a year ago; must be considered. |
15/8 |
|
4th 5 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Sole success came when wide-margin winner over hurdles at Fakenham just under one year ago but he's finished runner-up on 12 occasions, including five times in succession over fences between September and November; had wind surgery after heavy defeat over hurdles at Windsor over five months ago; market might guide on this return. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Won over hurdles at Fakenham (2m4f, good) in June and was runner-up in two chases last month, latterly behind King Of The Story at Warwick (2m4f, good); also ran well back over hurdles at Fakenham on Friday, but the forecast rain is a worry. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Down to this mark when nearly winning for the first time in seven years at Huntingdon in March and a slightly lesser effort when third at Hereford (also 2m, good) came just one week later; not ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Came very close to a first win in seven years when narrowly denied at Huntingdon (2m, good) seven days ago; can race keenly and unlikely to get an easy lead here, but worth considering if reproducing that effort off the same mark. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Dual C&D winner, latterly on good ground last April; her infrequent going days are difficult to foretell, though, and she was soundly beaten here (2m2f) ten days ago; 1lb out of the weights. |
25/1 |
|
6th 8 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Course regular who has won twice (about 2m3f, good) and been placed on another four occasions from 15 visits; last won just over a year ago but looked to have something to offer when unseating four out in April and it was too far out to tell how she'd have fared when falling, again here, last time; 2lb wrong but she's not dismissed. |
20/1 |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Pulled up on her final two outings in 2025 but looked in much better form back from a break here 16 days ago, moving well close to the pace when unseating four out; has won the last two runnings of this race off similar marks and could be set for another bold bid. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Went close on handicap debut over hurdles at Sedgefield (2m4f) in March before solid third at Taunton (3m, also good) one month later; drops sharply back in trip with cheekpieces enlisted and he remains unexposed on this introduction to fences. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 3 |
9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Brought along steadily before taking a big step forward on his handicap debut when a clear second of seven at Sedgefield (2m4f) last month; up 5lb but remains low mileage and has his first go over this trip. |
7/4 |
|
2nd 2 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Did not get competitive in first five hurdle races (1m7f-2m; one run attracted stewards' attention) but has now been given a handicap mark, and is open to improvement over this new trip; watch the betting. |

11st 1lb |
Beaten a combined 70l in two soft-ground starts over fences but he won his third hurdle race when picking up a 12-runner Ffos Las handicap (2m, good) off this mark nine days ago; 5lb well in on handicap marks if he can transfer that form to chasing and there should be no ground excuses this time. |

5th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Well treated if going back far enough but achieved little for current yard, over hurdles and fences; finished last of three on final run. |

3rd 3 |
2nd Mar 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Well treated on best hurdles form but his record for current yard leaves a lot to be desired; switch to fences made no difference last time; the weakest contender. |
