10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 11lb |
Justified favouritism in 2m4f event at Uttoxeter (soft) on Midlands National day, going one better than 12 months earlier and setting himself up perfectly for an attempt to win this prize for the second year running; current mark reflects his advancement; again a big player. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
12st 2lb |
Second in this race last year off 12lb lower, he went on to win at the Aintree Festival last April; confirmed his wellbeing when second in the William Hill Hurdle at Newbury five weeks ago and should run well. |

Reserve; won 2m4f handicap at last season's Aintree Grand National meeting (good to soft) before third at Punchestown; disappointing when favourite on Windsor reappearance but back on his game when best of the rest behind Tutti Quanti in valuable 2m Newbury handicap (heavy) last month. |

27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Point winner who was 1-8 over hurdles but he made a smooth transition to chasing when scoring over C&D (good; 13-2) three weeks ago; up 3lb but he travelled well for a long way last time and hit a personal best with that convincing success; interesting contender. |

1st 3 |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Landed a Southwell maiden hurdle (2m4f, soft) in March 2024; largely out of form in limited starts since but there were signs of a revival here (3m2f, good) last month in first-time cheekpieces; needs to back that up but could improve for this switch to fences. |
6/1 |
|
4th 3 |
4th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Won a Southwell maiden (2m4f, soft) in March 2024 but he's had only six runs since and has struggled in his last three handicaps; may have needed his comeback run (2m7f) in February but he needs a major revival back up in trip; cheekpieces added. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Just nabbed on his chase debut (good) in October but stayed on strongly to pick up Newbury Grade 2 (also 2m4f, good to soft; Regent's Stroll third, Crest Of Fortune fourth) the following month; outpaced throughout but never stopped trying when third in Kempton Grade 1 (3m, good; Salver fourth, Crest Of Fortune behind) over Christmas and that was also the case until he fell at the last when 6l down in the Brown Advisory (3m1f, good to soft; Salver third) last month; solid claims. |
4/1 |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Fifth in last year's Albert Bartlett here and very smart form over fences, winning Grade 2 at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) in November; easy winner of novice at Ayr (3m, soft) 41 days ago and looks the best of the British hopes, although he may find one or two too good unless he improves again. |

16th Dec 2023 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Unable to land a significant blow in soft-ground Ascot bumper last month but stayed on for very respectable fourth at Worcester (good to soft) two starts ago and should have a future over jumps. |

4th Nov 2023 Soft 1m 7f 152y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Sister Spice Girl won three bumpers for Martin Keighley; improved on debut form when a close fourth of ten at Worcester (good to soft; 18-1) three weeks ago; this is stronger but there could be better still to come. |

12th Oct 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Sister Spice Girl won three bumpers for Martin Keighley after a never-dangerous debut; this one also failed to figure when he made his debut at Exeter (good; 16-1) in April but he showed some promise. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Just the one blip in five runs since joining Henry Oliver and ran his usual honest race when going down narrowly at Hereford in January (2m, soft; effective on drier); the winner of that race has failed to frank the form but this 7yo could still be in the thick of it here. |
6/1 |

2nd 4 |
26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 53y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Won twice for the Newland/Insole stable in the autumn of 2024; creditable efforts in three of his four runs for current yard including when a close second in Market Rasen handicap (2m2f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; up 3lb but he went down fighting last time and that was behind a major improver; respected. |

4th foal; half-brother to 2m-2m4f hurdle winner Broomfields Jeremy; dam bumper/2m4f hurdle winner, half-sister to 2m4f hurdle winner What A Riddle out of 2m hurdle-winning half-sister to smart staying hurdler What A Question; second in an Irish point in April and bought for £24,000 in May; stable (runs two) has a good strike-rate with its few runners in bumpers. |

11th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |

Poor five-race maiden over hurdles but this winning pointer was a different proposition when winning by 5l on chase debut at Bangor (3m, good; second run in this headgear combination); could cope with the 10lb rise. |

11th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 145y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Point winner who hinted at promise in a first-time hood on his stable/handicap debut when a keen-going seventh of 11 at Southwell (2m4f) last month; tried in a tongue tie now and he can't be discounted if taking a step forward. |

7th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Dual hurdle winner last season (2m4f/3m2f); fell on chasing debut in May but returned with good hurdle run last month and could still have a good future over fences; one to consider. |

21st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |

Not seen since falling on chase debut in May but ended last season in good form, most notably when winning at Warwick (3m2f, good); also has a Plumpton win on his CV; major player if fully tuned up after break. |

Ended last season in very good form over hurdles, winning at Warwick (3m2f, good) before clear second at Huntingdon (3m1f, good); contender if he jumps soundly on this chasing debut. |

Some positives to take from his 14l defeat in an AW bumper but he finished last in a Worcester novice two months ago when 100-1; now hooded. |

19th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
