8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 135y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Progressive over hurdles in 2024, winning three times, but missed 2025 and has been pulled up in two chases this year; combination of return to better ground and first-time cheekieces might aid a revival but others in this field have much less to prove. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Completed a hurdles hat-trick in 2024 but was then absent until achieving nothing switched to to chasing last month; had wind surgery since; difficult to ascertain exactly how much ability he retains. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
In excellent form in second half of 2024, winning three good-ground handicap hurdles (2m3f-2m5f) in a row; also has form on slower ground and could quite plausibly have more improvement to come over fences at some stage but this chasing debut comes after a 458-day absence. |

Returned from break with three good runs towards end of 2024, including clearcut win at Plumpton (2m4f, good to soft), but looked out of sorts on both outings this year and needs a boost from the refitted cheekpieces. |

1st Nov 2024 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Came good over hurdles when trouncing three rivals here (2m7f, soft) in May and he ran to a similar level when second over same C&D the following month; now drops back in trip but he travelled smoothly on his penultimate run and still has scope for further progress; dangerous on his return. |

Came good over hurdles at seventh attempt, easily drawing clear to win small-field C&D (soft) race by 33l three weeks ago; it's hard to gauge what that form is worth but the forecast rain will suit him. |

10st 9lb |
Safely held on last month's chasing debut at Ludlow (2m4f, good) but that came after a 489-day absence and she's well handicapped on old hurdling form; no surprise if she gets closer to the target today. |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Bumper (AW) and maiden hurdle winner for Alan King but she didn't progress; wore a tongue-tie when fair fifth on debut for this yard in November 2024 and she built on that in added cheekpieces when close second of four at Newcastle (also about 2m4f, good) a fortnight later; makes chase debut after 489 days away with the market likely to offer some clues. |

0-8 over hurdles now but looked suited by the step up in trip when running big race in C&D handicap (good) in May and ought to make his presence felt again in this maiden. |

23rd May 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Close up in a 2m2f Stratford novice (good) last June but on the slide since and he's been pulled up in the last two of his three handicaps; still lightly raced in this sphere but he's untried beyond 2m4f and has plenty to prove at this new trip. |

Inconsistent but he won at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last July and returned from a break with a close third here (2m5f, soft) on Boxing Day, staying on nicely; he's fine at this trip; not his fault when unseating mid-race at Haydock last month; could be involved. |

Returned to form to win at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in July and again ran well when fourth there (2m4f, good) last month; stays this far and is effective on soft ground; goes well for Benjamin Macey, with form figures of 29214, and he could have a part to play. |

Ended last season in very poor form for Nigel Twiston-Davies but seemed to have turned a corner when close third of four (just behind Jakana) at Hexham (2m4f, good) for new stable three weeks ago, where a last-flight error might have cost him the race; has a fighting chance here; tongue-tie added. |

Winless since 2023 and he signed off for Nigel Twiston-Davies when pulled up in 2m3f handicap at Bangor in April; changed hands for £2,000 subsequently and he needs a resurgence. |

12th Apr 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |

Ended 2024 with two good efforts on slow ground (2m4f/2m) but looked out of sorts when pulled up on both outings this year; may not be ideally suited by the much quicker ground here, and others have much less to prove. |

A soft-ground hurdle winner off this mark at Taunton last February for previous stable but well held on all starts this season for current connections, latest when pulled up back at Taunton last month; sliding down the weights but doesn't look like capitalising on that anytime soon. |
