16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Fine on all ground; in a good run of form since the blinkers went on four starts back and this might not be quite so demanding as the Exeter race he contested last time; in the mix. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Only blinkered this season and the aids are working well, registering a fourth hurdle win under a positive ride at Wincanton (2m, heavy); 5lb rise sees him on a career-high mark but he has to be considered; good to soft is fine. |
5/1 |

3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |

Two good runs in blinkers this season, latterly when clear second of 13 at Wincanton (1m7f, soft; unraced on heavy) in December; nudged back up to his career-high mark since but still commands respect. |

0-5 over fences and 0-16 overall but may have benefited from latest wind op when keeping on well for third behind Safe Destination over C&D (good to soft) last month; 2lb out of the weights today but still considered. |

30th Aug 2024 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Unplaced all six hurdling starts but, following a long layoff and a wind op, shaped with more promise than eventual 43l defeat might suggest at Stratford (3m2f, good) last month; might have needed that outing and is no forlorn hope if she takes well to chasing; 3lb wrong. |

21st Jul 2024 Good 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |

Weak form claims and hasn't been seen for a year, since when she's had wind surgery; well out of the weights on her first run beyond 2m4f. |

9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
C&D winner who had been running well in both codes until a well-held fifth in 2m4f Wincanton handicap hurdle 39 days ago; she's the sort to bounce back. |
12/1 |

5th 10 |
29th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Just 1-20 under rules but runner-up in two of her last three runs, including over hurdles at Hereford (2m5f, good) in November; sole win was on good to firm ground but she handles soft (more to prove on heavy) and has possibilities back in this sphere. |
10/1 |

4th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Well supported when scoring at Taunton (3m, good to firm) on penultimate start, her first after wind surgery; went up 5lb for that; couldn't match that effort when dropped back to 2m2f here latest; drops 1lb and the return to further should suit; player. |

22nd Jun 2023 Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Displayed minor promise in one of her three hurdling starts in 2021 but was pulled up in the other two, and today's handicap debut comes after a 589-day absence; remains unexposed but stable has much more obvious chance with Ma Belle Noire. |
20/1 |

17th May 2023 Soft 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Has shown very little in four starts and absent since being pulled up at Exeter 18 months ago; hard to fancy but Harry Fry persisting and needs a glance in the betting on handicap debut; stable also runs Danton. |

27th Apr 2023 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Placed off a reduced mark at Wincanton (2m5f, good; 33-1) in February; may have had stamina issues over 3m here last time but he's an inconsistent maiden (0-12) and others are more solid. |

17th May 2023 Soft 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Turned his attention to chasing fairly late in life but made a solid start when second of six at Wincanton in April; didn't back that up when never travelling at Hereford (also 2m, good) nine days ago and has a question to answer after that. |
16/1 |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Four-time hurdle winner, all at around 2m; made a belated switch to fences last month and shaped with plenty of encouragement when runner-up at Wincanton (2m, good), which also represented a return to some form; needs to back that up but he remains well treated and is one to consider. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 149y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Three-time Flat winner and successful four times over hurdles; however, hasn't been running all that well under either code following a year on the sidelines and this is a belated first attempt at chasing. |

Gave good account when close fourth over C&D (good; also suited by soft) in November but was below that form at Taunton last month and is now 0-16 over hurdles; 1lb wrong; others preferred. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |

Made the frame twice (2m, soft/good) in spring 2024; now returns from a lengthy absence but he'll have possibilities if ready to roll. |
