27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner in May 2025 and 2026, latterly in clearcut style (from Now The Eagle) when 6-5 favourite on return from hurdling; back up 5lb now; third in this race last year and looks set for another prominent finish. |

Not seen on the Flat since finishing first and third over C&D around this time last year; comes into this fit from hurdling, though, and should make his presence felt. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 103y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
In good form on AW Flat last spring and returned from an absence for 50-1 win on handicap hurdle debut at Kempton (2m, good to soft) in February; weakened quickly in the Imperial Cup at Sandown (soft) but perhaps a return to less testing ground may help. |

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. |
8/1 |

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. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |

Won from the front over C&D in April (good) and returns only 2lb higher; latest Market Rasen run may have been needed. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Has not really kicked on from his front-running win at Hereford (2m5f, good) in the spring but his Newton Abbot third (3m2f, good) in July was a good effort and this return to a right-handed track will suit. |
7/1 |

4th Jul 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Came good with front-running win at Hereford (2m5f, good) in April but his last couple of runs (2m/2m4f) were substandard and he tackles this new trip with some questions to answer. |

18th Nov 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Failed to display any fireworks over hurdles, his best run when an 11l fourth at Plumpton (2m, good to soft); however, he goes chasing with low mileage on the clock and this is his handicap debut. |
9/2 |

24th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 3 |

Showed more last time at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) when beaten 11l but that form is no great advertisement for his prospects here. |

18th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Useful on the Flat at his best; safely held on first two hurdling starts (2m3f/2m1f) and was tailed off when unseating rider on latest outing but makes his handicap hurdle debut in a low-grade race and may yet transfer some of that Flat ability to this code. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Ten-race maiden who has been chasing on last three starts, easily best of those on first occasion; now tries cheekpieces and a return to hurdling; worth a second look as he brings some handicap form. |
5/1 |

5th 7 |
19th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
0-8 over hurdles and fences; has run well on heavy ground (over 2m) but he didn't repeat a promising chase debut on this course (2m4f, good) in November when returned to a testing surface in December; still has to prove that 2m4f on soft is what he needs. |
13/2 |

18th Nov 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Made a good start in handicap hurdles when second here on heavy ground (2m) and shaped okay back from a break at Fontwell (2m1f, good to soft), though was some 16l off the winner; unlikely that he's that well handicapped but chasing could bring him on. |
