16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Easily defied a 7lb rise for his Exeter win when strolling clear at Ascot (2m5f, good), albeit in a race that completely fell apart in behind; unlikely that this will be so straightforward off 8lb higher but arrives with his tail up. |

1st 3 |
29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 13y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Consistent 10yo; he beat only two other finishers at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft; fine on good) and his pursuers appeared to underperform; however, the 7lb rise shouldn't be too damaging given he's performed well off similar figures in the past; solid contender. |

Ran respectably at Taunton last time and remains a consistent sort; scored off 1lb higher, beating Bonza Boy, on most recent attempt at Exeter (13 months ago); solid chance. |

10st 9lb |
Reserve; Venetia Williams and Lucy Turner combined to win this at 40-1 in 2022 and this fellow was in pretty good heart over 3m this winter; however, today's stiffer test of stamina poses a question and he was soundly beaten at Ascot (3m, good to soft) last time; wears first-time cheekpieces. |

14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 185y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Has posted consistent efforts over 3m of late but gives the impression he ideally needs a drop back in trip, especially when conditions are testing; yet to win beyond an extended 2m6f. |

2nd 6 |
31st Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 42y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Has done his winning at up to 2m6f; not disgraced over 3m the last twice but gives the impression he ideally needs a drop back in distance, at least when conditions are testing; strong suspicion he's going to be outstayed. |

Placed lots of times over hurdles but won only once in 24 attempts; hasn't been close to his best this season and he's not bred for fences. |

4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Just 1-23 over hurdles, the win gained in 2023; out of form at around 2m this season but this longer trip might suit him better now and he has slipped to a very good mark; worth a glance in the betting. |

12th Jun 2023 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Seven-race maiden; well-held fourth of seven at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft) last month but that was only his second run after a mammoth absence and he shaped as though this step up to 3m could suit; one to keep an eye on. |

30th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Five-race maiden; absent since finishing third at Warwick (2m5f, good) two years ago; represents major yard and may be capable of progress now handicapping; interesting on return to action, especially if the market speaks positively. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Well beaten before last-fence refusal on latest outing in February but has a largely consistent record over hurdles; will be suited by the trip/ground and has slipped to a good mark; each-way claims at least. |
8/1 |

17th Feb 2026 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has won three times over hurdles and finished third for the fourth successive time in that sphere at Southwell (3m, good to soft) 15 days ago; back over fences after a couple of failed attempts in November 2023 but tends to find at least one too good. |
9/1 |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Longstanding maiden but bang there in two 2m5f handicaps at Fontwell (good to soft; in cheekpieces) before struggling there last time on heavy (first-time visor); can be given another chance; 2lb wrong but a 3lb claimer takes over. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
0-15 over hurdles but was creditable second at Stratford (2m6f, good to soft) in March and caught the eye making headway from the rear on consecutive 2m7f starts in June/July; 1lb wrong here but could have a say. |

9th May 2024 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Both of her wins (bumper and maiden hurdle) were at this track and they have been her only two visits, the latter two years ago; fair fourth with first-time cheekpieces at Doncaster (3m) in December but back in the doldrums since; visor takes over and she returns to Huntingdon, so there are potential positives. |

24th Apr 2024 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |

Responded well to cheekpieces when fourth at Doncaster in December (3m) but soon back in the doldrums; much depends on what effect the visor might have. |

Should be well handicapped but was pulled up over hurdles and fences before departing early in a handicap chase here 12 days ago; best watched. |

25th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Back below the mark of November's mares' handicap win at Fakenham (2m6f, good to soft); rarely operated at that level since, with little about two latest runs suggesting April's wind surgery has done anything for her. |
14/1 |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Won over fences last season (2m5f, good to soft) but it was an up-and-down campaign in both disciplines; ran moderately on the back of wind surgery on return to hurdles at Southwell but certainly has a big run in her if she can rediscover her form. |

9th May 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Worcester bumper winner (2m, good to soft) winner a year ago who has finished well behind the winner in three starts over hurdles, but he wasn't disgraced when third of 11 at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) last time (winner has gone in again since); pedigree suggests he should relish this longer trip on handicap debut and high on the list. |

27th Mar 2023 Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |

Won a Worcester bumper last May but has been easy to back both times over hurdles and hasn't shown much at all; disappointing if he can't raise his game at some stage, but best watched for now. |
10/1 |

13th 10 |
27th Jan 2023 Good 2m 0f 128y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Out of a 2m4f-3m1f hurdle winner; justified favouritism in a Worcester bumper (2m, good to soft) on debut last May but was a weak 12-1 shot for a maiden hurdle there (2m4f, soft) in October and he finished tailed-off eighth of 12; returns from another break and has some questions to answer. |

10st 3lb |
Back-to-back 3m2f wins at Fontwell and Newton Abbot last October (good and good to soft) suggest he'll enjoy this sharp track but the drop back from a stayers' trip doesn't rate an obvious plus. |
14/1 |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-12 over hurdles but came good in C&D (good) chase this month, his second start over fences, and battled gamely to follow up in conditional jockeys' race at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good to soft) on Saturday; escapes a penalty here and has obvious claims. |
