Eventually lost his form over hurdles last season, and following a revival over fences at Exeter (2m1f) in December, he was pulled up (bled) at Kempton on Boxing Day; something to prove. |

On a good mark if able to rediscover his peak form but his debut for this yard was disappointing and that was back in August. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
10st 8lb |
British runner is a three-time hurdles winner who has taken well to fences this season; built on positive chase debut when scoring from the front at Sandown (2m4f, soft) in March; not given an easy lead at Newton Abbott and jumping lacked fluency when last of the four runners (2m5f, good); easy lead could be difficult to find once again in this big field. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Three-time hurdle winner who has taken well to fences this season, building on an encouraging second on chase debut when scoring from the front at Sandown (2m4f, soft) in March, jumping soundly throughout; this represents a different challenge but the 5lb rise is unlikely to halt his progress and another bold bid is on the cards. |

Fairly useful in bumpers in 2022 but off 718 days before pulling up at Lingfield (2m3f, soft; 33-1) on hurdle debut last month; entitled to have improved for that and likely to make his mark over hurdles at some point given his bumper ability but probably best watched at present; tongue-tie added. |

19th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 10y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Pulled up on consecutive appearances towards end of last season but seemed to run well until tiring on soft ground at Ayr last time; could be better suited by the less-testing conditions here; not ruled out. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Tailed off (fences) and pulled up (hurdles) on his last two starts; a major turnaround is necessary but he runs off the same mark as when winning this race last year; not ruled out and the betting may be interesting. |

Well beaten on hurdling debut in October but, following a wind op, shaped with promise on consecutive appearances at start of this year (2m4f/2m3f); should have more to offer in handicaps; no surprise if he features. |

12st 0lb |
In fine form since returning from 14 months off in July, winning twice over hurdles and twice over fences including over C&D (good) in August; seemed to be beaten fair and square when second of three off this mark back here last time, but still a player in this field. |

4-5 since returning from long layoff this summer; kept on too strongly for Centara when back over fences here (good) last month and won another four-runner chase at Worcester (2m, good to soft) a fortnight ago; ought to make his presence felt again. |

Five-race maiden; in good hands; holds weak claims on form but looks a possible improver now handicapping over a new trip and in first-time tongue-tie; market support should be heeded. |

Second in an Irish point last February (only two finished), after which he was sold for £80,000; two hurdle runs for this yard have seen him not get home over an extended 2m3f here; could rate higher now dropped in trip and handicapping but he will need more to defy this mark. |

Chasing when last seen in June of last year, winning a four-runner handicap at Southwell before a close third off this mark at Worcester (2m7f, good); dual winning hurdler who has his ground and fitness might not be an issue given connections. |

Came good over fences at fourth attempt, in two-finisher contest at Southwell (3m2f, good to soft) three weeks ago; the value of that form is quite tricky to assess but he seemed to have matters in control until idling in the home straight; only 2lb higher here and probably still has potential. |
