19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Disappointing favourite back at the Cheltenham Festival (2m4f); otherwise a useful sort and had returned to form with close second at Windsor the time before; not written off, albeit has stamina to prove back up in distance. |
5/1 |

17th 10 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
Best on good/good to soft; has notable C&D form, namely a respectable seventh (best of the runners who raced prominently) in this contest last year and emphatic success next time; unlucky second at Windsor on New Year's Day when last seen; back on career-high mark but looks solid. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Drew 6l clear of Whatsupwithyou on New course here (2m4f, good) at end of last season and is now 4-8 over hurdles; subsequent 8lb rise asks quite a lot of him but further progress is possible. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Generally fast-weakening efforts since returning from a winter break, so the recourse to wind surgery is unsurprising; mark never lower, but effectiveness down at 2m4f hasn't been tested since March 2024. |
25/1 |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Three-time hurdles winner, most recently at Ayr (3m, good to soft) in April last year, but pulled up twice since returning from a break this spring and again ran below form when fifth of six, beaten 21l, at Huntingdon last month; best watched for now. |
12/1 |

19th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 10y Class 3 |

Pulled up on consecutive appearances towards end of last season but seemed to run well until tiring on soft ground at Ayr last time; could be better suited by the less-testing conditions here; not ruled out. |

11st 6lb |
Yet to race on soft/heavy; consistent over 2m5f under rules, running well behind a Paul Nicholls-trained rival at Hereford most recently; bred to be suited by this longer distance; leading player on form. |

2nd 7 |
29th Jan 2024 Good To Soft 2m 5f 163y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Runner-up in Irish maiden point (3m, good) last April and he's finished placed again in his three hurdle runs since October; found improvement when a staying-on third behind an odds-on rival at Ascot (2m5f, good to soft) last time and that form puts him firmly in the picture here; shortlisted. |

Runner-up in Irish maiden point (3m, good) and has finished placed at Kempton (2m5f, good) on both rules runs; soundly beaten on those hurdle outings and his limitations are evident but he has each-way claims once more. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Seemed to be travelling well before falling four out at Southwell (2m4f, good; first run after wind op) last month and remains well handicapped but has not been firing on all cylinders for new stable this season; swaps visor for first-time cheekpieces; others have more pressing claims. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |

9th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won two three-runner handicap chases at Plumpton (2m3f, good) for Alan King in 2024; mainly disappointing for present yard, including in today's headgear back over hurdles at Uttoxeter last time (2m4f, good to soft); first hurdle/chase run on slower than good to soft ground. |

3-6 over fences, the latest win gained at Kempton (2m4f, soft; made all) in February; needs to return from seven-month break in prime form to have any chance off current mark but the forecast good ground won't be a problem. |

23rd Oct 2024 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
0-6 over hurdles and absent since a disappointing run in April but his first two handicap runs (2m5f/2m4f) were quite encouraging and improvement is possible this season; cheekpieces left off today. |

19th Apr 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |

Has shown glimpses of promise in both novice and handicap company and stepped up slightly on his return from wind surgery when fifth at Plumpton (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces) latest; drops 2lb and likely to need more improvement to defy this mark. |

20th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 185y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Inexplicably swerved left and ran out here on stable/chase debut in March but made amends at Chepstow (3m2f, good; first-time cheekpieces/tongue-tie) last month, where he was held up a long way off the pace before keeping on strongly to lead after the last fence; only 2lb higher today and could still have a lot more to offer. |

Effectiveness of wind surgery yet to be fully tested when running out five from home on last month's Southwell stable/chasing debut (3m, good), though his jumping hadn't fully convinced before that and the adding of headgear here makes sense; interesting to see if the money comes again. |

Debutant; bought for 80,000euros as a 3yo; half-brother to three winners, including smart bumper/hurdler/chaser Keeper Hill; interesting but rather offputting that he's already undergone wind surgery and sports a tongue-strap on debut; still worth a look in the betting. |

Jumping to her right and looked out of sorts at Southwell in June but was in good form on right-handed tracks beforehand, winning at Taunton (2m5f, soft) and finishing second over C&D (good); back on a clockwise course today and a big player if back on song after her break. |

Came good over fences at third attempt, with clearcut win from the front at Taunton (2m5f, soft) in March; 8lb rise asks quite a lot of her here but the longer trip might unlock further improvement and she should be fine if the ground stays good. |
