22nd Mar 2026 Good 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Reportedly appreciated the heavy ground when rallying to lead close home at Huntingdon (2m7f) last month; will be suited by the longer trip here but the ground will be much quicker this time and he's very unreliable now. |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 4f 178y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Returned to form with narrow win in this race a year ago (heavy) and is now 1lb below that mark but well beaten all four starts since (three this season) and needs to bounce back again; headgear (worn for last two races) removed. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Blinkers are turned to after finishing tailed off a month ago and her previous thirds were no great advertisement for her prospects here; probably wants softer ground as well. |
33/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Third in a quite valuable Hereford mares' chase (3m1f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) in December and also ran well when filling same position in Bangor marathon (3m5f, soft) last month; might not be ideally suited by the quicker ground here but still respected. |
9/4 |

3rd 7 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 5f 142y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Third over 3m1f at Hereford last time (soft; first-time cheekpieces), making the frame in that handicap for the second successive season; consistent but perhaps doesn't win as often as she should (1-15 over fences and runner-up five times); unraced beyond about 3m1f. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Lurks on dangerous mark and is very well suited by slow ground but did not achieve a great deal when remote second in four-runner race at Hereford (2m5f, soft) last month and has not run to form since December 2024. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 194y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Mixes hurdling and chasing but yet to win in this sphere; has dropped to a career-low mark but has his work cut out against more progressive rivals. |
7/2 |

7th 4 |
26th Feb 2025 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Pulled up over fences on two of his last three starts, jumping poorly most recently; however, in between he was a good second in a chase at Ffos Las (2m5f, heavy) and he's been effective at 3m and over hurdles in the past; no surprise to see a big performance now back over hurdles. |

0-7 over fences but ran big race in defeat at Wetherby (2m5f, good to soft) last month, after a break, and remains well handicapped on some of last season's form; likely contender. |

25th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 71y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Seemingly boosted by changed of headgear when winning twice over hurdles last year (3m2f/3m1f, good to soft) but his two runs this year (chase/hurdle) have been below par and he needs to bounce back again. |

24th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Dual hurdle winner who is 0-11 over fences but he has the form to feature off this mark if ready to rock on his stable debut after a long absence; the market should be informative. |

Ex-Philip Hobbs/Johnson White; dual hurdle winner (including on testing ground) but yet to win over fences, although came close when head second at Wetherby in November (3m, good); fair efforts since; one to consider. |

10th Nov 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
All three wins over hurdles were at Taunton, latest over 3m on heavy in March 2023; chasing last term and ended his time with the Hobbs/White stable on some low notes; pulled up after an early error over fences (0-6 in that sphere) 12 days ago on stable/seasonal debut; well treated on best efforts. |

Three-time hurdle winner; yet build upon last autumn's promising chase debut for the Hobbs/White stable and has been absent since March but is on a good mark for today's stable debut; cheekpieces removed. |
