6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Listed bumper winner who scored at Hereford (2m3f, heavy) in February on his third handicap start and was a close second to Mount Anglesby (2m5f, good to soft) four weeks ago; this 6yo could continue to progress now things are starting to click; possible contender in first-time cheekpieces. |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Prevailed narrowly in a duel with the runner-up, pair clear, at Hereford (2m3f, heavy) last time; Listed bumper winner in unbeaten 2023-24 campaign and remains open to further progress over hurdles; shortlisted. |

11th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won heavy-ground Listed bumper at the start of 2024 and soft-ground junior hurdle here (2m) the following month; looked ready for the step up in trip so it was a disappointing seventh of nine in Windsor handicap (2m4f, soft) last month, when his trainer blamed the track and testing ground; question to answer now but still warrants consideration. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Hooded when solid third over C&D (good) at the end of last year and scored at Plumpton (about 2m4f, soft) on next start in February; revised mark has seen him held in two subsequent starts but that doesn't tell the whole story as they were seriously competitive series qualifiers; cheekpieces (worn once over hurdles when second here 13 months ago) are reapplied and he needs a firm second look. |
10/1 |

27th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 56y Class 4 |

Gained his Plumpton success (2m4f) in small field and was only midfield in a deeper race at Wincanton later in February; opposed in another competitive contest. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 179y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Knocking on the door on good ground this season prior to gaining a deserved win at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) recently; 6lb higher in a more competitive race today but he did it comfortably last time and has solid claims. |

Two novice wins in November and generally consistent otherwise; ties in with some of these rivals on Sandown (Imperial Cup) and Southwell form the last twice; solid contender who should give his running. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Only 3lb higher than for sole career win in Newbury handicap hurdle 13 months ago (2m, soft; fine on good ground), which was only three starts back; didn't run too badly on his chase debut on reappearance after a break of 337 days; ran just okay when cheekpieces were tried once before but hard to rule out. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 3 |

Chase debutant who badly lacks recent match practice (absent for 337 days) but is otherwise interesting, having gained his sole hurdles success on this card last year; market may offer further guidance. |

9th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 161y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Made it two wins in a row when scoring on handicap debut at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) in October and improved form in defeat the next twice, most recently third in 4yo Grade 3 at Fairyhouse (2m, yielding) in November; others may have greater potential but he might not be far away. |

Drew nicely clear to make winning handicap debut at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) last month; took a giant leap forward when splitting Givemefive and Bottler'secret at Cheltenham; had the fitness edge that day but is worth his place in the field. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Lightly raced since winning hurdle debut in October 2024 but has performed well on both outings this year, latterly when close second in small-field Plumpton handicap (2m2f, good to soft) last month; considered. |

16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 169y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Dual soft-ground bumper winner who finished third in an Aintree Grade 2 in April 2024; yet to replicate that level over hurdles, but she showed marked improvement after wind surgery when a 5.75l third at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) 18 days ago, following a break; likely to build on that and, with Joe Anderson's useful 3lb claim, she looks set for a big run. |
2/1 |

3rd 1 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Two-time soft-ground bumper winner who has been disappointing on her three starts since winning on hurdle debut at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) in October 2024; however, she returns from a break having had wind surgery and her Lambourn trainer does well here; not written off. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-7 over hurdles; ran well when third (albeit safely held) in higher-grade event at Kempton (2m5f, good) in November but two lesser efforts have followed and the ground here is likely to be slower than he prefers. |

4th Nov 2025 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Made inauspicious start to hurdling career in March 2024, unseating rider when trying to refuse at third flight, but his second of 14 here (2m3f, good) the following month was much more promising and he returned from long absence with perfectly respectable run last month; makes handicap debut today; further improvement possible |

11th Apr 2025 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
0-10 overall but he's finished a close second in four of his last five runs including in a maiden here (2m1f, good) last month; this step back up in trip is no problem and he's a big player again back in a handicap. |

0-9 overall but second on a variety of ground at Fontwell (2m3f), Fakenham (2m) and Sandown (2m4f) in three consecutive starts this winter; flop in first-time cheekpieces here (extended 2m5f) last time is the big worry but he has a huge shout on those earlier performances. |

Fortunate to register a second 2m3f win here in November but has held his form since and he clearly likes it here; the concern is this trip as he's unraced beyond an extended 2m5f. |

11th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Won over C&D (good to soft) in late 2024 but was lucky to score when repeating that feat on stable debut (good) in November; respectable third at Southwell (about 2m4f, good to soft) in December on his only subsequent start; unproven on heavy but can't be dismissed. |

10st 10lb |
Held every chance when unseating late on in a chase at Wincanton on Boxing Day (2m4f); again let down by his jumping at Ludlow; sold for £19,500 since; likely best watched after a change of yard, especially back over hurdles with stamina to prove. |
