18th May 2024 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Placed in his first two bumpers before battling well to win at Ludlow in December; held in sixth of 16 on his hurdling debut at Ludlow (2m5f, soft) in January but he still showed promise behind a fairly useful rival in that race; sets the standard on that form and he's respected back in trip. |

Placed in his first two bumpers before battling well to win here (2m, soft) on his return last month; out of a half-sister to a fairly useful jumps winner (2m2f/2m3f) and he should have a future in this sphere; needs close look on hurdling debut. |

Does not have an exciting pedigree but outran 33-1 odds when coming from the rear to go close on debut at Ludlow (soft) in December; probably sets a fair form standard; strong contender. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Lightly raced 7yo whose form has substance and it was a good handicap at Hereford in which he was third in December; went off favourite in a big field at Ascot in February but never gave his running; could be interesting back from a break. |

Lightly raced 7yo whose form has substance; solid third, behind subsequent scorers, at Hereford (2m3f, soft) in sole run this term; particularly unexposed at this trip and looks interesting off a low weight. |

11st 8lb |
Maiden who showed patchy form over hurdles and was well beaten last time, but he was a good second at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) two starts ago in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) and his trainer's horses often make better chasers; this 6yo is not ruled out. |

Nine-race maiden who ran well in first-time cheekpieces at Ludlow most recently, finishing 1l second to El Vigaro; may build on that effort; possibilities in the retained headgear. |

Has yet to fire over hurdles and well held in a Hereford handicap last time despite attracting interest in the market; that was over 2m and he's not bred to stay this far. |

Bumper winner; quite eyecatching when beaten 4l in her first handicap (2m, good to soft) and raced too freely off the pace when beaten further at Fontwell (2m3f); drops back in distance here and she retains potential. |

2nd Mar 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
French bumper winner who has two bits of noteworthy form from his six races in Britain; close second of seven under Cameron Iles in handicap at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft) last time was one of those, with the front two drawing 17l clear and his 3lb rise may well underestimate that performance. |
4/1 |

2nd 1 |
26th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
French bumper winner who also showed promise when third on his hurdle debut last January; remains lightly raced and he's one to watch in the betting but he's struggled on his last three runs, most recently last month's handicap debut at Hereford, and needs to raise his game in a big way. |

Won at Uttoxeter in October and good third at Newcastle later that month; however, he's been well beaten on his last two starts and needs to turn things around now in blinkers; cheekpieces were given a go last time. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Gained a breakthrough win over fences at Market Rasen (3m) in September and posted a good second in handicap chase at Leicester (2m7f) when last seen out in December; proved reliable over hurdles so rates a player back in this sphere off a reduced mark. |
