2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
1-5 over fences; bumped into a handicap blot when 14l second at Newbury (extended 2m7f, heavy) and early mistakes/interference had him on the back foot when only 11-1 for the Ultima at Cheltenham (4lb out of the weights); with trip/ground fine, he can go well here. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Kept on for creditable fourth of five in novice chase here (2m4f, good) in January when up against it at the weights and he may have bumped into a handicap blot when 14l second at Newbury (extended 2m7f, heavy) last month; this unexposed 6yo is not ruled out each-way, despite being 4lb wrong. |

2nd 5 |
7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
This looks stronger than the 2m4f handicap chase he won here (good to soft; fine on soft) in December off 5lb lower but he ran well in the face of a stiff task at the weights at Cheltenham a month ago; each-way claims back up in trip. |

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. |
8/1 |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
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. |

2nd Nov 2024 Good 1m 7f 152y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Fourth in two bumpers and again on his switch to hurdling at Chepstow (good to soft) when about 7l behind a useful winner; looks sure to win races but not sure this will be one of them. |

2nd Nov 2024 Good 1m 7f 152y Class 3 |

13th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Closed on the principals to be beaten 6l in his first bumper at Kempton (soft) and possibly got stuck in the mud next time at Uttoxeter (heavy); has potential. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
He's improved for going chasing this season and made it 2-5 over fences when winning at Exeter (3m, heavy) last month in first-time cheekpieces; his other win came on good to soft; a tongue-tie joins the cheekpieces; this progressive 6yo holds strong claims. |

20th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 54y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Has left hurdle form well behind since switched to fences, winning on chase debut at Huntingdon (2m4f; stays 3m) and solid efforts on both completed starts since; unseated rider when still travelling well in the lead at Doncaster on latest; not yet fully exposed and could play a significant role if handling testing conditions, with cheekpieces now added. |

5th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
He's left his hurdle form well behind since switched to fences, winning on chase debut at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft) and good efforts on both starts since, most recently second of four over C&D (soft); solid claims. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
He was completing a hat-trick last season when beating Marlacoo at Sandown (2m4f, soft; effective on good to soft); however, there's been no sign of that form this campaign and his usual hood is removed. |

18th Feb 2026 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Won three in a row last season (2m3f-2m4f, good to soft/soft); scoped dirty after final race last term and, although not disgraced on reappearance, he ran poorly at Warwick on latest start; off ten weeks and needs a revival. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Still winless after 20 starts but placed over hurdles and fences at up to 2m4f (all on a sound surface); did too much too soon when failing to see it out at Exeter (2m, good) last time but had been running consistently well beforehand from this sort of mark and could have a part to play back over fences. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 161y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-19 but placed over both hurdles and fences at up to 2m4f (all on a sound surface); has been competitive from this mark on her last three starts and should be again. |
9/4 |

3rd 8 |
7th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 48y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Longstanding maiden but was close up in her final handicap hurdle and ran okay in her first chase (2m2f, good), for all that she was no match for the clearcut winner; should have a role to play. |
