24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Chance on November's Doncaster hurdles second, less so on all which has followed; unexposed in this sphere, with one start over fences compared to the other trio's 41 combined, but none too convincing on that belated chase debut at Wetherby latest (1m7f, good), jumping left and weakening. |

27th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 36y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper/Flat/hurdles winner; on a handy mark but his form has dipped in 2026, so this switch to fences needs to have a reviving effect; latecomer to this game, being a 10yo. |

Unable to beat a rival on AW on last two starts but could be a different proposition now back hurdling and back here, as two visits to Doncaster (both C&D) have yielded an easy novice win (good) and a good second in a handicap (soft; in November); very much of interest given record at the track. |

Hurdles winner here in 2023; well held in two chases this autumn but reverted to hurdling with a win at Southwell (2m4f) in November, travelling best before asserting close home; off since and 6lb higher today, and he's unraced beyond 2m5f under rules, but keeping away from soft ground is seemingly a help. |

Progressive 9yo who returned from a break with small-field win at Warwick (3m1f, good) in April and also ran well when second to a course specialist at Market Rasen (3m, good) last month; significant rain will dent his appeal here but otherwise he may still have more improvement to come. |

Half-sister to useful jumper Fancy Foundations; hooded and held up when promising second in Southwell bumper last May; was the clear pacesetter when switched to hurdling at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft; 14-1) on Boxing Day but she had steering issues and ran out around the home turn; comes with risks attached after that; interesting to see how she figures in the market. |

Worcester bumper winner (2m, good to soft) winner a year ago who has finished well behind the winner in three starts over hurdles, but he wasn't disgraced when third of 11 at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) last time (winner has gone in again since); pedigree suggests he should relish this longer trip on handicap debut and high on the list. |
