20th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Has had three wins over hurdles but yet to convince on his suitability for this distance, latest when seventh of eight finishers at Haydock (2m5f, good) last month in first-time cheekpieces (retained). |

15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 50y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
All five wins have been at about 2m or 2m1f; wasn't that strong through the line over Bangor's extended 2m3f last time (good) and has further to go here; tries cheekpieces. |

Hasn't fired as he can this season but he's well handicapped on form that wasn't that long ago; back from a break and hasn't had many chances over this sort of trip. |

Thrice-raced mare who looks far from solid, with her second-place finish at Market Rasen in November 2023 flanked by heavy defeats; return to the best form would give her frame possibilities. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Dual winner over 2m7f at Uttoxeter in the summer of 2024 (good); was then off for 587 days and fair sixth at Wincanton on return to action last month (3m, good to soft; form not worked out); should come on for that run. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Lightly raced 9yo who created good impression when winning readily on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) in summer 2024; absent since and not sure to be ideally suited by the forecast slower ground here but will be dangerous off today's 4lb higher mark if fully tuned up. |

1st 5 |
26th Jul 2024 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |

Lightly raced, he got off the mark in C&D novice (good) last month when up in trip and looks the type to keep improving; makes his handicap debut and is one to put on the shortlist. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
The furthest he's been was 3m2f when he rallied to win from Red Delta in a small field at Doncaster (soft; made most) in November; something amiss next time but he was back on song for second at Carlisle (3m, good to soft; probably effective on good) on latest outing, making it good runs on both his starts in cheekpieces; up 2lb but needs a close look. |

Flopped badly last time when bidding for a Doncaster double but had looked open to further progress and may rebound; 1-1 in cheekpieces (hurdles win last March); not written off. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Slightly disappointing when only fourth on his latest outing, but posted career-best form when winning readily by over 6l at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) two starts ago and has an obvious claims if back at that level. |
9/2 |

4th 4 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 181y Class 4 |

11th May 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Three wins, two seconds and two thirds to his name from nine runs over C&D; will need a career-best off this mark, though, and there's nothing to suggest he's best caught fresh (off since January). |
14/1 |

6th 3 (2) |
27th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |

4th Nov 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |

Has gained both AW wins at Wolverhampton but ran well in sole C&D attempt; got going too late last time (1m6f) and holds a fighting chance off current mark back up in trip. |

1-1 here, that win coming over C&D (good; 18-1) in November on his penultimate start; not beaten far when fourth of six at Doncaster (also about 2m, good to soft) the following month and he's another who is firmly in calculations. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 10y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Exposed and only 1-13 over hurdles, while his latest third at Doncaster three months ago is nothing to shout about; however, as a winner off 1lb higher 12 months ago (2m7f, good) he commands respect. |
6/1 |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 5 |

Won at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) last May following wind surgery; soundly beaten in sixth on both starts towards the end of last year but may have needed the first outing, and soft going might not have suited last time; not written off with better ground forecast this afternoon. |

Out of an unraced half-sister to smart jumper Emily Gray; safely held when seventh of 17 on debut at Wetherby (2m, soft) last month but significant positives can be drawn from that performance and he has very obvious scope for improvement. |
