11st 11lb |
Ex-Nicky Henderson 8yo whose form hit the buffers last season under both codes; three non-completions in four starts for current yard and reservations remain. |

29th Mar 2025 Good 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Progressive hurdler in 2023 when with Nicky Henderson but he couldn't get it together over fences or hurdles last season and no sign of a revival for new yard; best watched with cheekpieces returning in place of a hood. |

23rd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Ran respectably when third of five over hurdles at regular haunt Plumpton (2m4f, good) last month; better known as a chaser these days but he looks weighted near best off this mark and is untried beyond 2m5f; has some work to do back in this sphere. |

3rd 1 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Came up short last time when bidding for a chase hat-trick; only 1-11 over hurdles and hasn't raced in this sphere for nearly two years but there are positives, namely a lower mark in this sphere and a good overall record (4-8) at Plumpton. |

17th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Big chance on his peak 2022-23 efforts win or lose, and laid down a fair marker on return last month (2m3f, good) despite a wide route; no certainty to back that up, but remains on a career-low mark. |

25th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won a C&D novice (good) in October 2022 but he struggled in a chase and seven hurdle races last year, trying headgear on last three starts; very well handicapped now and if the 130-day break has perked him up he'd be a huge danger; watch the market. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 3m 3f 9y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Another 3m2f winner who was in decent nick in spring/early summer but he finished tailed off behind Earth King at Uttoxeter in July and was pulled up in a first-time visor at Stratford last time; needs to get back on track. |
12/1 |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Returned from a break in fine form and now goes in a visor after his disappointing show at Uttoxeter; capable of having a say off this mark and good to soft would be acceptable. |

8th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 3 |

Came from off the pace to win at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) off 4lb lower; twice beaten off this mark in small fields since then but ran well; solid chance. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Four-time hurdle winner who has form figures of 11631 at Fontwell; has mixed record this season but he went close at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) on his penultimate run and was rallying in a close fifth when he unseated two out at Kempton (2m, good) last time; one of two runners for the yard and he's an interesting contender back at this track. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Gained his spring/autumn wins last year at about 2m; ran well over 2m4f at Plumpton most recently; may remain competitive, back down in distance. |
4/1 |

2nd 7 |
26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Took hurdles score to four when winning at Leicester (1m7.5f, soft) in November and produced a solid effort in his follow-up bid off this mark at Ascot the following month; however, he has to be forgiven a below-par effort at Sandown since. |

10th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Soundly beaten at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) a fortnight ago, his second run after a long absence, and now 0-13 under all codes; clearly needs a much better performance here. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Bagged a fourth success of the season at Chepstow (2m3f) in February; seemed unsuited by dropping back to 2m when a solid fourth of ten at Hereford 13 days ago and not out of things over this more suitable distance. |
12/1 |

4th 5 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Won three in a row in November/December (2m3f-2m4f) and scored at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) in February; well-held fourth eight days later at Ffos Las, possibly finding the quick turnaround too much; may resume progress, though the drop in trip is a slight concern. |

1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won three in a row in November/December (2m3f-2m4f) and took his form to another new level when battling on well to score at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) eight days ago; latest 4lb rise does not look excessive and further progress is not out of the question. |

1-9 over hurdles; ended last season on a low note and was again well beaten when back in action in January; makes chasing debut from a good mark but others look much less risky. |
