24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Resumed with victory at Exeter (2m3f) in November and in good form until pulled up in 2m3f handicap chase at Fontwell ten days ago; this course winner is the sort to bounce back in a change of headgear, though. |

14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Did well for cheekpieces going on last year, winning three times at 2m3f-2m5f, latterly off 3lb lower, and going a stone and a half up the weights; 2m7f looked to find him out at Newbury last month and this is less competitive back down in trip; holds decent claims. |

17th Feb 2026 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |

All good since the cheekpieces went on, winning three times (2m3f-2m5f, good to soft/soft); kept on well for third off today's mark at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft) last month and returning to further looks the right move. |

11st 6lb |
Won three times under Sean Bowen (once over C&D) in 2025; well below best on all four appearances this year but has slipped to a good mark and the champion jockey evidently still has faith in him; revival possible. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

Won three times (2m2f-3m) in June-September last year, off today's mark over C&D on last occasion; out of form on last four outings, however, and a major revival is needed on this second start after wind surgery; tongue-tie (last used in 2024) returns. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Versatile sort who won three times (2m2f-3m) in June-September last year; only 1lb higher than for his last success but he's been well held in his last three runs and needs a major revival after wind surgery. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Had tumbled down the weights, with no win since September 2023, until springing a 66-1 surprise over 2m4f here (good to soft) in May; retains handicapping scope from this mark (5lb higher) but it remains to be seen if he's in the same fettle over 3m; chance. |

Dual C&D winner in 2023 and is considerably lower in the weights now; raced lazily, tailed off, in a division of this last year (good; 5-1); missing from action since so it's tough to know how he'll fare; market check advised. |

12st 0lb |
Made it 3-11 over hurdles when scoring at Warwick (2m5f, good) in May but he's been vulnerable as favourite in last two starts; drops back in grade after a respectable fifth at Worcester (beaten around 6l) two weeks ago but he needs to find more progress back in trip. |

5th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
3-10 over hurdles (2m-2m5f, good); improving 6yo who made a good start for this stable when a close fifth at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) in April and duly built on that when justifying favouritism at Warwick (2m5f) the following month, both times ridden by Megan Bevan; drop back to 2m shouldn't be too much of an issue and he's a big player off 4lb higher. |

Unable to land any sort of blow in novice hurdles at major tracks on his two appearances this season but made fairly encouraging hurdle debut at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) last April and has a lowly mark for his handicap debut; moves up in trip with usual hood removed. |

0-8 over fences and 0-16 overall but went close on seasonal debut at Ffos Las (3m, soft) in November and bumped into a big improver when well-held second at Uttoxeter (3m, heavy) in December; this right-handed track may not be ideal (jumped left at Taunton last season) but, otherwise, his claims are pretty solid; cheekpieces removed after one use. |

Easily best known for exploits at Bath, where he's been runner-up three times this season; 0-10 here, admittedly twice runner-up and also third of 15 in May (1m2f) but he may have to settle for another place return. |

Second of 15 in handicap at Thurles (2m, yielding) in December is the best form in this field; however, it's also easily his best form; well beaten in 2m3f handicap here on recent British debut but he's still one to consider, with tongue-tie and cheekpieces both enlisted. |
