Came good over hurdles at fourth attempt, with easy novice win at Southwell (2m, good to soft) six weeks ago; the value of that form is open to question (main market rival wayward in straight) but he remains unexposed. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 10y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Only 3lb higher than for her narrow C&D win on good ground in March and was odds-on favourite for her return to fences 18 days ago only to depart mid-race; she's probably the one to beat; usual cheekpieces are replaced by an eyeshield. |

7th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Three-time chase winner (once over C&D); lost her way over fences during the winter but battled well for narrow hurdle win here (3m1f, good; front pair well clear) in March and reverts to this code on a good mark. |

Three front-running chase wins in 2024, including over about 3m here; second of five at Ludlow in October but her chase form has gone to pot; latest hurdle performance (four starts back) gives her a place chance. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
He's returned from an absence this season and, after three defeats on soft ground, better could have been expected on good to soft at Wincanton recently; however, he's in top hands and well handicapped on his three 2024 wins on good/good to soft (including here), and may bounce back at some stage. |
4/1 |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Nearly a stone worse on genuinely soft ground judged on peak RPRs, so there's a case to say this is his first realistic opportunity since returning from a 15-month absence over Christmas; last success came over this trip off 3lb higher, and it will be harder to excuse another sub-par effort today. |
8/1 |

18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Switch to fences and handicaps did the trick when he won three of his five starts in 2024; he hasn't got back to that level in two outings this term and has a question to answer at present; of interest only with market support. |

11st 4lb |
Took a big step up in trip on his handicap hurdle debut at Taunton (3m, good to soft) in April and was awarded the race (due to interference); subsequently sold out of Kim Bailey's yard for £25,000 and this lightly raced 7yo brings potential to today's chase debut, with his new yard in fine form. |

10st 11lb |
Had regressed since winning three times on the Flat in 2020 and was unable to land a blow in Market Rasen maiden hurdle on stable debut in April but makes his handicap hurdle debut off a lowly mark and with cheekpieces refitted; no surprise if he gets a bit more competitive this time. |

Soundly beaten off lowly mark on handicap debut in April 2023 and, following a layoff, was remote when fourth in uncompetitive Bangor maiden last month. |

28th Jun 2024 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |

No progress in bumpers and she's struggled at big prices in four hurdle runs including a C&D handicap (good) last April; had wind surgery since but can only be watched on her comeback. |

22nd Apr 2023 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |

Always towards rear at triple-digit odds in three novice hurdles; makes handicap debut from 6lb out of the weights; could be considered only if much stronger in the betting this time. |

16th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Fairly promising fourth on hurdle debut in March 2023 and this lightly raced 8yo is one to watch in the betting following an absence; however, he made no impact when sixth late last year in his first two handicaps. |

In the frame in two Irish points in 2021; mainly modest form over hurdles, including on handicap debut here in November (2m4f, good to soft); stable in fine form and he's likely to fare better now upped in trip and switched to fences. |

Runner-up in his second point (3m, good) last April but he was pulled up at a massive price on hurdling debut at Worcester (2m4f, soft) in October; has had wind surgery since and now drops to 2m after another break. |
