29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 13y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Listed bumper runner-up who failed to win over hurdles (0-4) but went in at the first try over fences at Wincanton in December (2m4f, soft), when well on top late on to collect by 6l (5lb lower); since then he'll pulled up and finished 13l behind the winner when only three completed at Doncaster (2m3f, good); he's not crying out to be backed after those efforts but there's no depth to this. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 31y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Listed bumper runner-up who showed improved form to win by 6l on his chase and handicap debut at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) in December; flopped at Hereford (2m5f, soft) subsequently but perhaps paid the price for chasing a strong pace and he could bounce back with a bold show. |

29th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 122y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Bumper winner who flopped as favourite in his two hurdle runs (2m/2m3f) last season but he bled from the nose on both occasions; had wind surgery since his last run and interesting to see if the money arrives for him again after 284 days off. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Yet to make any significant progress since winning hurdle debut in autumn 2024 but still has fairly low mileage and gave good account when keeping-on third in first-time tongue-tie at Chepstow (2m7f, soft; first run after wind op) last month; should be okay over this shorter trip; each-way claims. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 8 |
21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Runner-up at Newton Abbot (extended 2m6f) and Exeter (extended 2m2f) on his first two runs this term; weakened right out of it when upped in trip for King Of The Lake's C&D race at Christmas and had wind surgery soon afterwards; also now tongue tied first time and needs to resume progress. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
29th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 122y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Exeter maiden winner (2m2f, good to soft) but he struggled on handicap debut at Plumpton (2m4f, good) in April; has good pedigree and is still unexposed in this sphere but he needs to resume his progress after a break. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 93y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won over hurdles before a successful chase debut at Doncaster (2m4f, soft; by 3l); bumped into a well-treated favourite off this 5lb higher mark at Chepstow when the hood was left off (as today); should have some part to play. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Pipped a next-time-out winner to score over hurdles here (2m, good to soft) just after Christmas and took another step forward when winning by 3l on chasing debut at Doncaster (2m4f, soft) 16 days ago; still unexposed over this sort of trip and makes obvious appeal. |

1st 5 |
5th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 115y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Pipped a next-time-out winner to score over hurdles at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) just after Christmas and is now 2-7 in that sphere; open to more improvement over today's longer trip and over fences; looks interesting on chase debut. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Only stepped up to 3m in his last three races and went close in two of those; looked as though he'd win at Newbury last time (good to soft) only to get outbattled; the cheekpieces could be significant. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Won seasonal/handicap debut at Newton Abbot (extended 2m6f, good to soft) in October; good C&D third (soft) next time but a flop as favourite at Doncaster (3m, good) in December when last seen; needs to resume improvement. |
6/1 |

1st 3 |
29th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 122y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Bumper winner who made the breakthrough over hurdles when landing a maiden at Exeter (2m5f, good) in March; had to work hard to seal the deal in that match but he's still unexposed in this sphere and should have more to offer in handicaps this season; had wind surgery since last run. |

7th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Close third in a bumper in April 2024; showed nothing more than minor promise in three novice/maiden hurdles (2m-2m3f) but moves up in trip for this handicap debut and is a possible improver. |

7th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Displayed improvement when close third in soft-ground Taunton bumper in April 2024 but both hurdle runs there (2m/2m3f) towards end of last year were very underwhelming; back from 251-day break here; tongue-tie on. |
14/1 |

30th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Close third in what has turned out to be a fairly good course bumper in April (soft ground) but never really looked dangerous when sixth here (2m, good) on recent hurdling debut; needs that recent run to have brought him on. |

19th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
12st 1lb |
0-9 as a hurdler but only his fourth run over fences when making light work of The Gypsy Davey over C&D (add 23yds) six days ago; penalised accordingly but Paddy Hanlon's claim takes care of 5lb of that. |
6/4 |

13th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
13-race maiden, including three runs over fences, but showed more when travelling well for a long way last time, failing to stay 3m2f; needs to build on that and the drop back in trip is a plus; usually claimer ridden but not today. |
5/2 |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |

Maiden who is one of the lesser lights at his major yard and has failed to complete in two starts since switched to fences; on a positive note, reproduction of best hurdles form would give him place claims. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Didn't run badly off her lowly handicap mark here (2m4f, good) last month but looks exposed after nine hurdling starts and faces a tough task on these terms; sports first-time cheekpieces. |
