26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
0-9 over hurdles but he has won in other disciplines and his 8l second of ten to Cooler Than Me over C&D (heavy; 100-1) last time was easily his most competitive show as a handicap hurdler; considered for a place. |

0-7 over hurdles; ran well for a long way when eighth from out of the weights over C&D (good to soft) on Boxing Day and is effectively 10lb lower today but his overall profile remains unconvincing. |

Yet to score for his current yard and he comes here on the back of a below-par fifth of eight in 2m handicap at Newton Abbot 20 days ago; cheekpieces go back on with more required. |

This Flat winner showed some aptitude for hurdling when third in two novice events at Worcester (2m, good) in the summer; should stay this longer trip and may have some untapped potential on handicap debut. |

Four wins came on turf later in the year and made it 0-16 on the AW when tailed off over 1m6f here five weeks ago; on a career-low mark now but it's hard to find any other positives. |

Hasn't won in almost three years and has regressed since joining from Paul Nicholls; was running poorly over hurdles when last seen and is hard to fancy. |

11th May 2023 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Placed in two juvenile hurdles for Gordon Elliott in Ireland last summer but both Flat runs for Laura Mongan have been disappointing; beaten 30l (albeit on soft ground) in recent Windsor handicap and looks risky on today's handicap hurdle debut. |

24th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Expensive to follow in Ireland, including over hurdles, and is with her third yard already (picked up for £10,000 last autumn); is better off now into a handicap but needs a deal more back from a layoff. |
12/1 |

Ex-Irish filly formerly with Johnny Murtagh and Gordon Elliott; finished third on three occasions for the last-named, including on her final start in a 1m4f Gowran maiden; bought for £10,000; should give a decent account. |

9st 8lb |
Wins have come in the summer and she didn't offer much on her comeback, having finished last season with a string of ordinary efforts; the handicapper's proving quick to relent but she's still hard to recommend. |

Scored twice on Wolverhampton Tapeta (1m6f and 1m4f) in summer 2021 but mostly out of form last year for Brian Ellison and finished last of nine on both her starts for new yard; down the weights but with questions to answer. |

0-7 on turf but was placed on only previous visit to Bath and returned from long absence with very respectable 1m2f AW run in February; probably better suited by this sort of trip nowadays; interesting. |

10st 5lb |
Kept on for modest third from out of the weights in two selling handicaps in recent weeks, more recently on slower-than-ideal ground at Newton Abbot (2m2f, soft); that form isn't anything to get excited about but she's 14lb lower off her correct mark here. |

Didn't fare too badly when third in a Stratford seller this month; 8lb out of the handicap there and can race off her true mark now, which helps; place prospects but only 1-39 in her career. |
