10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Prominent-racer whose flop over hurdles at this meeting last year can be forgiven; scored on his third start over fences when beating Regent's Stroll by 4l at Cheltenham (about 2m4f, good) in January; jumping left plenty to be desired when third in Sandown Grade 1 later that month, however, and the race he won at Newbury (about 3m, good to soft) last time fell apart; he wasn't always fluent that day either but a clear round puts him on the premises. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Fine on good and soft ground; Grade 1 placed over hurdles and this Cheltenham chase winner did well to finish within 7l of the smart Sixmilebridge in the Grade 1 Scilly Isles at Sandown (2m4f) as he can jump a lot better than he did that day on soft ground; every chance that he'll be able to give weight and a beating to these, provided he stays this longer trip. |

31st Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 15y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Appears to act on soft ground, unraced on heavy; has steadily found his feet since switched to chasing and registered a 4l success at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) most recently; further improvement is possible but certainly needed; has the worst chance on bare ratings. |

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. |

26th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Ended 2025 with emphatic win from the front at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft), his third chase success, but returned from a break with two disappointing runs (chase/hurdle) towards end of last season and has something to prove. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Third chase success when scoring by 5l at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft) in December; stamina seemingly stretched by 3m5f back from a short break at Warwick 24 days ago; slightly lower mark back hurdling. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Irish bumper winner who got off the mark over hurdles at the ninth attempt in a handicap at Plumpton (2m4f, good to soft) last month; not far off that form when fourth on his Warwick chase debut (2m4f, good) ten days later; enters calculations back hurdling. |

4th 7 |
26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Irish bumper winner who got off the mark over hurdles at the ninth attempt in a handicap at Plumpton (2m4f, good to soft) last Monday; did it easily and has the same mark for today's chase debut (due to be 7lb higher in future); leading claims if transferring that latest form to fences. |

16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |

Irish bumper winner; has proved disappointing for Christian Williams, including when well beaten in new cheekpieces at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft; 28-1) last November; now on 3lb career-low mark off a 117-day absence. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |

A lowly rated maiden over jumps; makes stable/Flat debut after 275-day absence; impossible to recommend. |

27th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Low-mileage 7yo but she has form figures of P7FP50 over hurdles including two handicaps this summer; 13lb out of the weights on this chase debut and can only be watched. |

11th 15 |
27th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Low-mileage 7yo who shaped with some promise when fifth of seven on handicap debut at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago, her first start since November; effectively on same mark for this drop back in trip but could have a say if that recent outing brought her on. |
