2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Bumper winner who chased home Sober Glory on his hurdle debut and then made all for a novice win at odds-on at Carlisle in February (2m1f, good to soft); trainer could offer no explanation for his poor handicap debut at Uttoxeter but he's better than that. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Bumper winner who scored at the second attempt over hurdles at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) last month when making all; steps up in trip on his handicap debut and while this looks tougher he could still be anything. |
6/1 |

1st 4 |
3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Won a point bumper in April 2024 and a Chepstow bumper on rules debut in November 2024 (2m, good to soft; form solid); made a promising hurdles debut on return from 327-day break when 13l second to a 2-13 shot at Newbury last month (2m, good to soft; first run after wind surgery); contender. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Progressive 6yo who scored on his chase debut here (2m, good) in October; improved at about 2m4f subsequently, looking unlucky when falling at Cheltenham in November before winning his next two, including a fairly valuable event back there in January (soft); disappointing he could not get involved in the Jack Richards at the Cheltenham Festival (Gold Dancer second, Regent's Stroll third) last month but he has often shaped as if this step up in trip will suit; no surprise if he bounces back. |
10/1 |
|
8th 10 |
12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Has a record of 5-8 overall and 3-4 since switched to chasing; looked a serious threat to stablemate Kdeux Saint Fray when final-fence faller on the Old course here (2m4f) in November; rallied well for a couple of narrow wins since, latest on Trials day in the C&D novice handicap (soft) that has been such a good pointer to this race and indeed this meeting in general; appears very likely to finish strongly and continue his progress; big player. |
11/2 |
|
1st 4 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Arguably unlucky not to be unbeaten over fences, as he looked a serious threat to Kdeux Saint Fray when final-fence faller on the Old course here (2m4f, soft) in November; that tumble is flanked by wins, latest in game fashion at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft); major contender. |

5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Two hurdle wins have been at 2m3f, notably Warwick Grade 2 defeat of subsequent Ryanair Mares winner White Noise; keen in first-time cheekpieces in Ryanair and didn't get home when eighth of 22 behind same rival; headgear left off. |
25/1 |

8th 12 |
12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Won two bumpers and was third in the Grade 2 for mares at the Grand National meeting; her only defeat over hurdles came in a race won by Old Park Star and she was a game winner of a Grade 2 at Warwick last time, beating White Noise (2m3f, heavy; fine on good to soft); has a likeable attitude but that takes you only so far; cheekpieces are turned to; others preferred. |
22/1 |
|
1st 7 |
7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 0y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Listed bumper winner who was placed in Grade 2 bumper at last season's Aintree festival; far too good for recent Grade 2 winner Kripticjim when scoring by 7l on seasonal/hurdle debut at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) in November and probably paid a price for trying to match strides with very exciting Old Park Star when well-held third at Cheltenham (2m1f, good to soft) in December; back up in trip here; leading contender. |

8th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Only one place behind a subsequent Listed scorer on rules debut and justified favouritism, despite still seeming green, at Huntingdon (soft) since; possibilities, with further improvement plausible. |

23rd Jan 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Fair effort in sole point and likewise when 9l fourth at 20-1 on bumper debut at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) in November; could do with settling better but the Chepstow form has worked out very well; a possible. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Still unexposed after only nine races but he was safely held in all three handicap hurdles (2m-2m4f) then pulled up when upped to 2m7f for last month's chasing debut; needs new tongue-tie to make a big difference. |
7/1 |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Showed promise in novice hurdles but he's been well held in three handicaps in that sphere; still has low-mileage but this is his first attempt beyond 2m4f and he needs a transformation on chase debut. |
12/1 |
|
12th 10 |
8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Hasn't progressed in handicaps (2m4f/2m) but still early days and he's unexposed on this sort of ground; hard to dismiss. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Irish point winner yet to get off the mark under rules; ran his best race when third over C&D in March; below that form when a warm favourite in a Ffos Las maiden last month but may warrant another chance. |

3rd 1 |
14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Runner-up in two good-ground bumpers last spring and showed fair form on all four hurdling starts this season, most recently when third on handicap debut at Warwick (2m5f, good to soft) last month; leading contender back in novice company. |
4/5 |

3rd 1 |
8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |

Point winner who has largely encouraging rules form and may be capable of progress in this second handicap attempt; returns from a break; market support would heighten interest. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 136y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Lightly raced 7yo with bits of modest form, including in two of his four starts blinkered; weakened right out of it when upped to about 3m on latest outing, albeit on heavy going; two of his winning siblings have stayed. |
16/1 |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Lightly-raced 7yo who hinted at promise before posting an excellent fourth of 11 in 2m4f handicap here 16 days ago; he can make his presence felt eased 1lb. |

29th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |

Struggled in bumpers and same story in three runs over hurdles (2m3f/2m4f); this is more realistic on handicap debut but he needs to show a lot more to get involved. |

Course regular who was mostly in good form last year and last month's reappearance run at Exeter looked too bad to be true; hard to dismiss, especially back here. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 111y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Two-time winner over a similar trip at Newton Abbot (both good); was competitive from this mark on his last two starts at that track (both 2m5f) and should be involved if straight enough after a six-month break. |

3rd 10 |
18th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Dual 2m2f course winner this season; rebounded from two lesser efforts when close third of five (just behind Striking A Pose) over C&D (good) last month but has more on his plate in this deeper race. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Displayed improvement when creditable third in Wincanton maiden (1m7f, soft) in December, his third start over hurdles, and subsequent fourth in good Taunton handicap (2m, heavy) was better than bare form suggests (nearly lost jockey after penultimate-flight error); doesn't help himself by racing too freely but has a good chance here. |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 104y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
Progressive form in three maiden hurdles around 2m on good to soft/soft, finishing third of 18 at Wincanton on latest eight weeks ago; has shown a tendency to race keenly but the likely stronger pace in a handicap may help him to settle better; open to further improvement. |
15/2 |

15th May 2025 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
£95,000 3yo; half-brother to 2m3f chase/2m5f hurdle winner Menaggio; 8-1 and hooded for his debut when beaten over 140l at Chepstow (good to soft) in November; was subsequently found to have an irregular heartbeat and he can surely do better. |
