10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
10st 13lb |
128-rated hurdler for Nicky Henderson; remote second in 2m6f Fairyhouse novice his best run over fences for current yard, most recently pulled up after never travelling in 2m5f Fairyhouse handicap on Saturday; hard to fancy unless quicker ground brings serious improvement. |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 45y |
10st 13lb |
Bumper winner and fair 128-rated hurdler for Nicky Henderson, stayed 2m5f; beaten 14l in second over C&D in January before being pulled up in a 3m event at Navan; suffered the same fate in a Limerick race won by Kings Hill; questions to answer. |

12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 1f 185y |

Bumper winner and fair 128-rated hurdler for Nicky Henderson, stayed 2m5f; ran well up to the point of his fall two out over C&D on his second Irish start; fair second at Fairyhouse before being pulled up in a 3m handicap at Navan; out of his depth in a 2m Grade event on latest. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Accounted for Peckforton Hills when getting off the mark over hurdles at the 12th attempt at Doncaster (2m4f, Class 5 conditionals'; good to soft) in February; down the field (from 8lb higher) in a stronger contest at Newbury subsequently; now drops back into a more suitable looking novice. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 183y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Runner-up in nine of his first 14 races, before finally off the mark when well backed for 12-runner handicap at Doncaster (extended 2m3f, good to soft) three weeks ago in second-time cheekpieces; drew 12l clear for that breakthrough but this 8lb higher mark seems to demand another step forward. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-14 but runner-up on nine occasions and he ran well for a long way in first-time cheekpieces (retained) here (3m, good to soft) in December before fading into fifth; could be in the mix now back down in trip. |

Promise in bumpers for Harriet Dickin last spring; yet to achieve much over hurdles and no significance in the return of cheekpieces; 7lb out of the weights. |

Promise in bumpers on good to soft for Harriet Dickin last spring; yet to achieve much over hurdles, held back by his jumping, but getting back on a sounder surface may help and new blinkers could spark extra too. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Won well at Hereford (3m1f) last December; absent since creditable second at Huntingdon in February; has a modest record when fresh but market support should be noted. |

20th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 10y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Won here last April and registered his second handicap win when comfortably in front at Hereford (3m2f, good to soft) in December; the latter was his first attempt at this sort of trip but he flopped when 7-4 favourite at Wincanton five weeks ago; major player if bouncing straight back. |

Cannot be accurately assessed on his bumper effort here six months ago (lost his action, pulled up); now wears hood; market may prove best guide on this second run. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Dual 2m3f hurdle winner on good ground; pulled up on soft at end of last year but returned from a break with a quite encouraging fifth of 12 at Warwick (2m5f, good) this month and enters calculations here. |
5/1 |
|
5th 2 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Hereford (2m3f, good) winner under Fern O'Brien in April last year and virtually matched that effort on her comeback run at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in November; best forgiven her follow-up effort back there in December as the soft ground went against her; wouldn't want any rain but returns on a competitive mark and not ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
1st 3 |
10th Apr 2025 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Won hurdle debut at Doncaster (2m3f, good) in December 2023 but a long way below that level on her six starts since; down the weights and more competitive under Fern O'Brien over C&D latest; in most circumstances she would need to improve on that but this could be a very weak race. |
