19th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Pulled up in a hunter chase in 2025 on previous run over regulation fences; this multiple point winner can be given another chance and he's performed okay in two maiden hurdles for this yard. |
5/1 |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Multiple point winner who made an encouraging start over hurdles when runner-up at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) 16 days ago; should be suited by this step up in trip and should run well. |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Runner-up in a maiden hurdle over this far (on soft) and that's just about his best run; 0-4 over fences and has twice pulled up, though the third at Uttoxeter was encouraging and 1m7f would have been too sharp last time. |
10/1 |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Ran well against a hotpot in 2m7f hurdle at Lingfield (soft) last January; pulled up in first two chases but he wasn't too far away at Uttoxeter (2m4f, heavy; first run since wind surgery) in December, where a couple of late mistakes spoiled an otherwise sound round of jumping; blinkers are now tried and he needs a close look after another break. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Maiden hurdler but he's been a big improver since switched to fences, winning over 3m at Warwick last month before following up over about 2m4f here (both on good) two weeks ago; up another 7lb but he won going away last time and is a major player again in his bid to make it 3-4 as a chaser. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Maiden hurdler who is already doing better over fences, having stayed on well to win at Warwick (3m, good) in June on his second chase start; had run well over a similar trip to today's the time before and, although back up 5lb, he should have more to come. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Dual Irish point winner; off the mark at the sixth attempt over fences at Ffos Las (3m, good to soft) last month in first-time tongue-tie (retained); should have more to offer with that first win under her belt. |
3/1 |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Dual point winner; it was only her fourth run over fences when second at Warwick (3m, soft) and she could rebound from her Ludlow run now fitted with a tongue-tie; hard to dismiss. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Limited hurdler; unconvincing point form before finishing tailed off on second run over fences at Newton Abbot (2m5f); he was only 7-2 that day so better was perhaps expected, but he's risky. |
8/1 |
|
5th 5 |
19th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Limited hurdler who was pulled up on chase debut in January; subsequent pointing exploits aren't overly compelling. |
10/1 |
