24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Four-time hurdle winner who has form figures of 11631 at Fontwell; has mixed record this season but he went close at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) on his penultimate run and was rallying in a close fifth when he unseated two out at Kempton (2m, good) last time; one of two runners for the yard and he's an interesting contender back at this track. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Gained his spring/autumn wins last year at about 2m; ran well over 2m4f at Plumpton most recently; may remain competitive, back down in distance. |

Took hurdles score to four when winning at Leicester (1m7.5f, soft) in November and produced a solid effort in his follow-up bid off this mark at Ascot the following month; however, he has to be forgiven a below-par effort at Sandown since. |

11st 8lb |
May still have more to offer for Dan Skelton but is by no means certain to follow up a fortuitous win at Fakenham (2m4f) where she was gifted the race when the clear leader exited; now 1lb higher in a stronger event. |

18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 1y Class 3 |

Very useful on the Flat in 2024 and made winning handicap hurdle debut for Lucy Wadham at Market Rasen (2m4f, good to soft) last February before finishing second in a Listed race; safely held on seasonal/stable debut at Kempton just after Christmas but will probably come good for Dan Skelton soon. |

All four wins have been at Wolverhampton (1m4f-2m) and latest was 11 months ago; finished a close third off 1lb higher at Bath (1m6f, good) last month but he's not easy to predict and was well held with cheekpieces tried at Chester last time; the headgear is quickly discarded but he comes with risks attached. |

Won on Polytrack as 2yo but three later wins on Tapeta, at 1m4f to 1m6f; hard to recommend at present as he's been a slow starter since his most recent win in March and was way back at Wolverhampton in August. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Lacks consistency but capitalised on a reduced mark when ending a near three-year drought at Ayr (extended 2m4f, soft) in April, but has failed to reproduce that effort since and the 6lb rise is not the chief concern; however, he could still go well if at his best. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |

Made the most of a reduced mark when justifying support and gaining a first win since 2023 when scoring at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month; remains well treated on past form back up 6lb and likely to be in the mix again. |

Without a win since 2023 but he has dropped to a dangerous mark and ran surprisingly well over 3m last time at Wincanton when all his form is over shorter; goes on soft. |

Successful in two of her last three starts, at Sandown (1m6f, good) in June and at Lingfield (1m5f, good to firm) last month; 4lb rise fair enough, but testing conditions would be a question mark as she is unraced on ground softer than good. |

7th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Shaped as if longer trips would suit when third over 1m4f on first two starts this season; so it proved when she asserted late on in a five-runner handicap over C&D (good) three weeks ago; 5lb higher today but she has more to offer as a stayer. |

7th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Has a cracking pedigree, which has not yet resulted in a win but this 3yo took minor honours in maidens at Yarmouth (11.4f) and Salisbury (1m4f, again good to firm) on last two outings and it is easy to envisage him staying this trip; one to note on handicap debut. |

Prolific winner, mostly on AW and at 1m6f-2m, including C&D; 1lb higher than when scoring here in February; not quite as good in two subsequent starts but looks a player back up in trip and with the same claimer up as for that most recent success. |

Held on to win at Kempton (2m, AW) in February and posted a solid effort when fourth at Southwell (2m, AW) 84 days ago; off since and this drop back in trip probably isn't ideal on his first outing on turf since September 2023. |

11st 1lb |
Four-time hurdle winner and career-best form to win by 10l at Fontwell two runs ago (2m5f, good to soft); went up 8lb for that and was back down to earth on his return visit when beaten 20l; hard to know entirely what to expect from him. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Four-time hurdle winner who rewarded good market support and showed career-best form when drawing clear to score by 10l here (2m5f, good to soft) in March; 8lb rise asks a fair bit of him but the forecast faster ground should not be a problem. |
