24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 54y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Right back to form on last month's second start after 16 months out, just holding on in a Uttoxeter Class 4 (3m, good to soft); form of that win remains untested, but 4lb rise probably fair; effective on good also. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won over fences at Wincanton (3m1f, good) in April 2024 but he's had only two runs since and was pulled up back from a long absence on recent stable debut at Haydock; overall record is now 1-14 and others are preferred. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Made the breakthrough when scoring over fences at Wincanton (3m1f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in April 2024 but not seen since falling two out (was second and closing) over that C&D six months later; has since switched stables (same owners) and market might help on this reversion to hurdles after 504 days away. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Not the force of old and has failed to complete in his last two starts but this is a drop back in grade and he went close at Catterick (3m1f, good) in November; looks interesting on that form and he made all when winning this race last year. |
9/1 |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Not the force of old and his second at Catterick (3m1f, good) in November came in a two-horse race; followed that with a poor run in a veterans' chase at Doncaster; others appeal more. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Won three times last year (3m/2m7f, good to soft/good) and finished close up on final two outings in the autumn; in the mix if returning from a break in similarly good form. |

18th Jun 2024 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Not the force of old but running well at present and latest third over 3m3f here was in a higher grade; might find this trip shorter than ideal but should again be competitive. |

1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 3m 3f 119y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Not as good as he was but doesn't arrive here in bad form and he should have finished closer (beaten 7l) last time at Southwell (3m, good); this is a higher grade but he has each-way hopes. |

21st Apr 2024 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |

Has won four times at Exeter and yet he has struggled in handicap hurdles there the last twice; has won over fences but tried this discipline only once in the last 12 months and he was well beaten. |

7th Apr 2024 Heavy 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |

Four-time course winner (twice over C&D) who will be suited by today's ground; on a good mark now but was safely held when fourth here last month and needs to up his game. |

25th Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Dual chase winner this season, latterly over C&D (good to soft) in December; just a respectable third at Hereford (3m1f, good) this month and remains on a fairly tough mark but the return to this track is a plus. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
8th Mar 2025 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Has plenty of chasing experience and was a dual winner over fences towards end of 2024, once over C&D on good ground; back up to his career-high mark now but still features prominently in calculations. |
2/1 |
|
1st 7 |
30th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Opened chasing account at Hereford (3m1f, good) last month and bettered that performance when close second over C&D (good) 18 days ago; more exposed than some of these but likely to be right in the thick of things. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 149y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Record of 2-16 over fences; beaten about 11l in two 2m4f handicaps here since an absence and there are positives to take out of both those runs; this drop back in trip could help. |
7/1 |

5th 7 |
1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
10yo who has won twice over fences but he faded into a well-held fourth behind Universal Secret over C&D in February; 3lb out of the weights in this rematch and he has work to do to turn the tables. |
16/1 |
|
4th 5 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
C&D (good) winner in April 2023 who also popped up at Taunton (2m2f, good to soft) in November 2024 following a 182-day break; just four starts since have included two solid efforts and it's possible he can have a say back from a 331-day absence; has a query on soft ground, however. |

9st 5lb |
Beaten a long way over C&D in the spring before a better showing from the front in a 3m2f hurdle round Fontwell; is some way down the pecking order for a yard also responsible for Nadim. |

26th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Five-time winner over hurdles who had looked to be in the grip of the handicapper since winning at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) in July; however, having come back down in the weights, he stayed on well to regain the winning thread at Hereford (3m1f, good) this month; going back up 4lb is a slight concern, but this looks an inviting opportunity if he repeats that effort. |
9/4 |

1st 3 |
5th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Four-time winner over hurdles who had looked to be in the grip of the handicapper since wining at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) in July; however, he's now back on that winning mark and his latest fourth of four at Taunton (3m, good) in a Class 3 was encouraging; respected. |
6/1 |
|
4th 2 |
9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Has four wins over hurdles but is 2lb above his last winning mark; returns from a break and probably needs to come down a few pounds. |
9/2 |
