6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Listed bumper winner who scored at Hereford (2m3f, heavy) in February on his third handicap start and was a close second to Mount Anglesby (2m5f, good to soft) four weeks ago; this 6yo could continue to progress now things are starting to click; possible contender in first-time cheekpieces. |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Prevailed narrowly in a duel with the runner-up, pair clear, at Hereford (2m3f, heavy) last time; Listed bumper winner in unbeaten 2023-24 campaign and remains open to further progress over hurdles; shortlisted. |

1st 6 |
11th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won heavy-ground Listed bumper at the start of 2024 and soft-ground junior hurdle here (2m) the following month; looked ready for the step up in trip so it was a disappointing seventh of nine in Windsor handicap (2m4f, soft) last month, when his trainer blamed the track and testing ground; question to answer now but still warrants consideration. |

Two novice wins in November and generally consistent otherwise; ties in with some of these rivals on Sandown (Imperial Cup) and Southwell form the last twice; solid contender who should give his running. |

9th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 161y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Made it two wins in a row when scoring on handicap debut at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) in October and improved form in defeat the next twice, most recently third in 4yo Grade 3 at Fairyhouse (2m, yielding) in November; others may have greater potential but he might not be far away. |

Drew nicely clear to make winning handicap debut at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) last month; took a giant leap forward when splitting Givemefive and Bottler'secret at Cheltenham; had the fitness edge that day but is worth his place in the field. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Four wins for two previous yards came from the front, three round undulating courses; finished last season on a downswing, though, and sold for 1,000gns since; there's nothing to suggest he's best caught fresh. |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Campaigned on turf this term for new yard; had a good spell in June/July but has proved disappointing in two starts since; beaten favourite in last two AW attempts and now 3lb higher. |

8th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Prominent racer; won 1m2f handicaps at Leicester and Epsom in midsummer and ran well in his hat-trick bid here in July; weak in the market and ran poorly at Newmarket 24 days ago (raced too freely); more to prove on ground slower than good. |

10st 13lb |
Won a maiden hurdle in good style at Hereford (2m3f, good) last March; it's too soon to write off this lightly raced 6yo but he's failed to shine in his two handicaps and needs to get back on track. |
33/1 |

1st Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Pulled up on hurdling debut in December but has fared much better on both starts for new stable this year, more recently when winning Hereford maiden (2m3f, good) by 8l last month; drops back in trip for handicap debut; could easily have more to offer. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 5 |

Hasn't got a lot going in his previous four chases but well handicapped on some of his hurdle form and didn't run too badly in that discipline last time. |

5th 12 |
4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |

Very opposable on this season's exploits but he has dropped to a dangerous mark and this 6yo could stage a revival at some point; worth checking the betting. |

16th Sep 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Made disappointing start to chasing career this season (three attempts) and reverted to hurdling with a heavy defeat and a fall last month; lurks on a good mark but needs to turn a corner. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
C&D winner last November (good to soft; held up), when 15lb lower; also held up when showing marginal improvement to score at Wincanton (3m, good) latest; up another 6lb but looks a leading player. |
11/8 |

1st 6 |
1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 150y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Made the breakthrough at Exeter (2m5f, good to soft) in November and he had a near-miss at Taunton (3m, good) the following month; looks interesting on that form but he was laboured at Exeter last month and that took his hurdling record to 1-18. |

Came good here (2m5f, good to soft) in November, his 14th hurdling start, and has performed well over 3m at Taunton on all three starts since; ought to be right in the thick of things again. |
