18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Ex-Nicky Henderson; just 1-10 over hurdles and has struggled with consistency but he ran well to finish third at Hereford (3m2f; first-time blinkers) last month; ties in with Dwight K Schrute on that form and has claims if he can back that up. |

Ex-Nicky Henderson inmate who struggles with consistency; disappointing in his two runs for this yard but he's on a good mark should blinkers trigger something (he ran one good race when cheekpieces were tried). |

Proved unable to sustain early progress for previous yard but ran creditably over C&D last spring; dropped away on stable/seasonal debut, perhaps needing the run; check the market signals. |

8th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Can jump right; two fair efforts over fences since the spring, including at 2m4f (good), with another one over hurdles in between; not obviously ahead of his mark but adding a tongue-tie could help. |

26th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |

Only beaten about 1l when third of four on chasing debut at Ludlow (2m4f, good) in March, despite a tendency to jump right, and reverts to fences after perfectly respectable 2m hurdle run last month; still unexposed in this sphere and current mark is workable; must be considered. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Had very mixed record in 2025 but was creditable second at Newbury (3m2f, good; second run in blinkers) on latest outing in December and has strong claims if in similar form here; well suited by good to soft ground and was a point winner on yielding to soft. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Made bright start to chasing career in early 2024, winning at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) before clear second at Kempton (3m, good to soft), but dropped out of contention worryingly quickly on final two starts last season (had wind op in between) and needs to prove his wellbeing. |

12th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Good-ground maiden hurdle winner who scored on his chase debut at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) in January before clear second to Eyed at Kempton (3m, good to soft); flopped at Kempton last time but has had wind surgery since and it will be no surprise if he bounces back with a bold show. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
None too consistent this season but he did win in small fields at Ffos Las (3m, heavy; made all) and Wetherby (3m, good to soft) last month; this field is much more demanding company on his first venture beyond 3m. |

Inconsistent but easily got off the mark over fences at the third attempt in three-runner handicap at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) recently; this is a stronger race but he could have more to offer in this sphere; not ruled out. |

Won at 22-1 on chase debut at Worcester (2m4f, good) in September on first run since May; disappointing at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in October but often runs well after a break and he could be in the mix. |

Unplaced all five hurdling starts; arguably ran better than bare form suggests when fifth of 16 at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) last month but subsequent 2lb drop is not enough to tempt. |

Disappointed when made favourite at Taunton (2m3f, heavy) last month, after a layoff, but is now 6lb lower than when placed in first-time cheekpieces at Stratford (2m2f, good to soft) just over a year ago, and can rebound on the less testing ground here. |
