Has appreciated the return to hurdles and made pretty much all over 2m3f (good) here three weeks ago; up 7lb but rated higher in the past. |

12st 0lb |
Chasing did not go to plan but he's returned to hurdles on last two starts, runner-up over C&D (good to soft) on latest despite not always jumping fluently; off the same mark, he should make his presence felt. |

26th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Five-time winner over hurdles who had looked to be in the grip of the handicapper since winning at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) in July; however, having come back down in the weights, he stayed on well to regain the winning thread at Hereford (3m1f, good) this month; going back up 4lb is a slight concern, but this looks an inviting opportunity if he repeats that effort. |

5th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Four-time winner over hurdles who had looked to be in the grip of the handicapper since wining at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) in July; however, he's now back on that winning mark and his latest fourth of four at Taunton (3m, good) in a Class 3 was encouraging; respected. |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Has four wins over hurdles but is 2lb above his last winning mark; returns from a break and probably needs to come down a few pounds. |

14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 123y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Returned from one-year absence with good second on chase debut at Exeter (3m, heavy) in December but looked out of sorts when pulled up last month and it's hard to know what to expect from him on return to hurdling. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 162y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Low-mileage 10yo who was 5-12 over hurdles; having his first race over fences when a 5l second to Isaac Des Obeaux at Exeter (3m, heavy) where he needed some driving but kept on well; this stiffer stamina test could be up his street. |

7th Dec 2024 Soft 2m 7f 98y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Got up near the finish in this race 12 months ago (heavy) and warrants respect in his bid for a repeat win, notwithstanding a 5lb higher mark and lack of recent match practice (off since April). |

1st Jan 2024 Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Very well handicapped on some of last year's placed form but returned from break with three below-par runs in the autumn and needs to turn a corner; won a heavy-ground hurdle in France in 2021 but may be best suited by good ground. |

14th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Runner-up four times over fences at up to 2m5f during the spring/summer but below par in a hurdle race/chase at Wincanton since returning from a break; up in trip; others have less to prove. |

31st Jan 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 25y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Looked an exciting prospect (on the back of a wind op) when landing 2m4f handicap chases at Lingfield and Plumpton this winter but he beat only one at Plumpton last time; he remains with potential though and shouldn't be written off by any means. |

7th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 3f 164y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Ex-French 6yo; unplaced all four hurdling starts for Venetia Williams last season but, following a wind op, is 2-2 since switched back to chasing this term, the latter win over C&D (good to soft) three weeks ago; should be fine on today's slower ground and has plenty of scope for further progress. |

12th Jun 2023 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Seven-race maiden; well-held fourth of seven at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft) last month but that was only his second run after a mammoth absence and he shaped as though this step up to 3m could suit; one to keep an eye on. |

30th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Five-race maiden; absent since finishing third at Warwick (2m5f, good) two years ago; represents major yard and may be capable of progress now handicapping; interesting on return to action, especially if the market speaks positively. |
