10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 11lb |
Has failed to maintain an unbeaten hurdles record since returned this sphere, sweating and well beaten in the Imperial Cup (2m) last time; penultimate effort (2m5f) wasn't bad but this is a stiffer task. |
25/1 |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
3-3 over hurdles last season, including a Listed novice win at Exeter (2m, good to soft), and following a stint over fences he reverted to this sphere with a promising second at Warwick (2m5f, heavy) four weeks ago; travelled strongly on that latest start and not ruled out now back down in trip. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 5y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Chasing this season; eyecatching behind Lulamba first time out before finishing alone after Phantomofthepoints had come down at Uttoxeter; wasn't overly fluent that day, nor when third at Ayr, and now defends an unbeaten record over hurdles (3-3); his novice form has worked out well and potentially on a good mark for this handicap debut; unraced over this far but should stay. |

12st 0lb |
Rattled off a hat-trick at Ludlow (2m) in February but he beat only one off a 7lb higher mark in 2m1f Newcastle handicap six days ago; could bounce back off a 2lb lower mark. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 190y Class 4 |

Weakened when third of five (13-8 favourite) in this last year; back to form, completing a February hat-trick (Sedgefield twice and Ludlow, rising steadily in the weights); reportedly "ran flat" when pulling up at Ayr (2m5f, soft; from 5lb lower) latest; needs to bounce back. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Made a bad mistake on penultimate outing but he won starts either side and latest was the 4m2f Midlands National at Uttoxeter (soft) in which he was always prominent and asserted by 8l on run-in, with Git Maker in third; up 7lb but his only attempt at a marathon trip brought a clear career best. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Beat none other than Haiti Couleurs over hurdles; their respective careers have headed in very different directions and this 8yo is only 1-7 over fences, the win coming in a small field at Exeter two runs back (3m, heavy); since then he lost his position after a bad mistake at Wincanton (3m2f); may yet have more to offer over an extreme distance such as this but he certainly needs it. |

10st 9lb |
Just the one good run over hurdles this season, having missed all of 2024 and most of 2025; however, she was nominated as a future chaser by her trainer back in 2023 and she's not discounted in first-time cheekpieces on this first outing over fences. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 111y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Lightly raced 8yo who had wind surgery prior to a resurgent effort at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) last week; due to go back up 1lb in future and remains particularly well treated on peak performance, namely a success off 7lb higher in 2023 (sole attempt over 2m2f); respected. |
5/2 |

2nd 7 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Just her second handicap when she beat 15 others to win at Stratford (2m2f, soft; 50-1) in late 2023; two-year absence followed and she hasn't threatened in two starts this term; 7lb below that winning mark and the tongue-tie goes on following wind surgery but she'd be of interest only with market support. |

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. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |

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. |

Signs of progress when finishing 11l-third of seven at Fontwell (2m5f, heavy; cheekpieces on for second time) in February but Stratford was disappointing under similar conditions. |

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. |

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. |

Not wholly straightforward, but appreciated the return to hurdling sufficiently to record a new personal best in victory at Uttoxeter latest (2m7f, good to soft); blinkers debuted there will need to work at least as well now returned to his previous highest mark; has won on good. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |

Completed a double over hurdles at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in November 2024 but he's been up and down since and was pulled up over fences at Chepstow (11-4 favourite) last month; new headgear is now tried and he comes with risks attached back in this sphere. |

Won over C&D (good) last season and has made the frame all three hurdling starts this term, the latest here (2m7f, good to soft) in December; seems versatile ground-wise and, from a workable mark, probably won't be far away. |
