12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Still a maiden at the age of nine but she reappeared after a long absence with fair third on chase/stable debut at Uttoxeter (3m, soft) in November; didn't build on that over hurdles (2m6f, heavy) last time but cheekpieces are now added and this return to a right-handed track looks a positive (jumped right on penultimate run); could be dangerous back over fences. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Dual hurdle winner on slow ground; safely held on chasing debut in November and well beaten when back over hurdles in February; back from another three-month break with cheekpieces refitted; others have much less to prove. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Mark and ground both fine, but have to hope confidence hasn't been dented by being brought down two starts back and enduring a rough race on November's chasing debut; unraced over this short since autumn 2024. |

3rd May 2025 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Won at Fontwell (3m2f, heavy) last spring and was also narrowly successful at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) in November; should appreciate the return to this sort of trip and a new headgear combination is given a go but he could do with rain. |

8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 135y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Progressive over hurdles in 2024, winning three times, but missed 2025 and has been pulled up in two chases this year; combination of return to better ground and first-time cheekieces might aid a revival but others in this field have much less to prove. |
6/1 |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Completed a hurdles hat-trick in 2024 but was then absent until achieving nothing switched to to chasing last month; had wind surgery since; difficult to ascertain exactly how much ability he retains. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
In excellent form in second half of 2024, winning three good-ground handicap hurdles (2m3f-2m5f) in a row; also has form on slower ground and could quite plausibly have more improvement to come over fences at some stage but this chasing debut comes after a 458-day absence. |

Ten-race maiden over hurdles; plenty to make up with a few of these on his below-par tenth at Ayr last time (2m, good to soft, tongue-tie on for first time); tongue-tie left off here but blinkers now tried. |

Back with his former trainer for this first start on the Flat since October 2021; no win since the summer of 2017 so not hard to oppose. |

28th Feb 2024 Heavy 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |

Holds weak claims on bare form and comes with risk having refused to race here in December; however, the combination of drop in trip and Harry Cobden (up for first time) may prompt improvement. |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Only his third run over fences when forging clear at Huntingdon (2m7f, soft) in January; that resulted in a 10lb rise but he was only 9-2 when departing early at Taunton; seemingly on the upgrade. |
7/2 |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
All the sharper for his Hereford reappearance when making it third time lucky over fences in 2m7f Huntingdon handicap (soft) three weeks ago, forging 15l clear; that resulted in a 10lb rise but he should remain competitive if in the same form. |
9/2 |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |

Temporary switch to front-running over a sharp 3m netted him a Southwell hurdle off this mark in May 2024 (soft), but rather lost in the crowd in big-field chases on only two starts since; tongue tie off. |

Veteran who has never won over hurdles but who finished a good second of 17 at Uttoxeter when last seen in May; has tended to need an outing in recent seasons but repeat of that effort would put him firmly in this. |

0-17 over hurdles; on a good mark now and his poor run behind Ismael on heavy ground in December can probably be overlooked but he'd appeal much more on a quicker surface. |
