11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Not at the top of her game in the Mares' Hurdle at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) last month but this sort of trip may be her optimum; neck second to Strong Leader at Wetherby (3m, good) in November and creditable third behind Impose Toi and Strong Leader in another Grade 2 at Newbury (3m, soft) later that month; ran well here 12 months ago; each-way claims if back on song. |

4th 6 |
12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 56y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Won Grade 2 mares' event at Ascot before finishing third to Lossiemouth in this and the Aintree Hurdle (Wodhooh 8l ahead in second) last spring; has slightly bettered those RPRs in defeat on all four outings this season and she's an each-way player again. |

3rd 3 |
16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Won Grade 2 mares' hurdle at Ascot (1m7f, good) last January and she's looked better than ever when running really well in defeat against males in Grade 2s at Wetherby (3m, good) and Newbury (3m, soft) on last two starts; she'll be fine now back down in trip and may well be in the mix. |

24th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Free-goer who ran big race from the front when fourth in C&D (soft) novice last March; safely held in both subsequent handicaps and has fitness to prove after 235-day absence but still worth a second look. |

3rd Jun 2023 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |

Free-going front-runner perhaps not seen to best effect over Chepstow's 2m3f the last twice (soft/good to soft), the latest his handicap debut; return to this trip looks a positive and interesting to see what effect the hood has. |

9th May 2023 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Enthusiastic front-runner who hasn't got home over 2m3f at Chepstow the last twice (soft/good to soft) including on handicap debut last time; return to this trip looks a positive and interesting to see what effect the hood has. |

11st 1lb |
Out of a sister to the stable's top-class chaser Cue Card but hasn't progressed since twice finishing runner-up in 2m5f non-handicaps here last summer; underwent wind surgery before falling at Wincanton when outpaced at the time, though that was on soft ground; tongue-tie tried last time is retained and he might yet turn a corner. |

Placed twice over hurdles but no match for easy winner when second in 2m novice here on seasonal debut in November and was pulled up when upped to 2m4f for last month's handicap debut; others have stronger claims. |

10st 13lb |
From a major yard but he struggled over hurdles including when pulled up on handicap debut at Ffos Las (2m4f, good to soft) 18 days ago; still lightly raced but he needs a transformation on this switch to fences. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 104y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Easy win at Wincanton (3m2f, heavy) in January and bounced back from Haydock flop to win at Exeter (3m6f, good) recently, despite a bad mistake; clearly on the up and his stable has won two of the last six runnings. |
9/2 |

1st 3 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Tended to jump left on last two outings but that didn't stop him beating recent Midlands Grand National winner Isaac Des Obeaux by 21l at right-handed Wincanton (3m2f, heavy; first-time tongue-tie) on first occasion; pulled up in valuable Haydock marathon since but will be fine on the forecast good ground here and is a contender if back on song. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
Running well in defeat this season, including over an extended 3m4f, before producing a career-best in a first-time tongue-tie to win easily at Wincanton (extended 3m2f, heavy); hit with a 9lb rise but he was impressive last time and could have more to offer in the tongue-tie; respected. |

3rd Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Made the frame on all four hurdling starts during 2023-24 season, most recently when third in Wetherby handicap (3m, soft); not sure to be suited by the quicker ground here but should cope with the drop back in trip; major player if fully tuned up after 507-day absence. |

Lightly raced 6yo who has posted some solid efforts, including on heavy ground and when fair third on handicap debut at Ascot (2m5f, good to soft) three weeks ago; he's a half-brother to Any Second Now, who has twice been placed in the Grand National, and could improve now up in trip again. |

He has had his ups and downs in the past but he won in fine style at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) in December and went close at Market Rasen (3m, soft) subsequently, when well clear of the third; key player. |

2-9 over fences; not one to rely upon heavily but looked in very good nick when winning readily at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) in December and today's 7lb higher mark may not be beyond him. |
