17th May 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Regressive profile in novice/maiden hurdles; goes handicapping off a really tempting mark judged on the RPR for his big-price bumper debut success, but a bit to take on trust just now. |

12st 0lb |
Won on reappearance at Wetherby (2m4f, good to soft) and made it 4-6 over hurdles when returning to winning ways at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) four weeks ago; has also won elsewhere (first visit here); could be suited by today's extra yardage and he's a strong contender. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Point winner who left her first two rules runs miles behind when 25-1 Listed runner-up at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) last month on her chase debut and first outing since 2024; very unexposed but today's assignment demands another massive chunk of improvement. |

|
2nd 4 |
5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Form comprises a success in Irish point, third-place finish in bumper and modest sixth in novice hurdle; absent for over a year and returns with tongue-tie fitted; should make a chaser but this looks a difficult starting point. |
40/1 |

6th 24 |
27th Dec 2024 Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 3 |
10st 7lb
|
Made all in heavy-ground Irish point in debut in October 2023 and came from off the pace for third in soft-ground Wetherby bumper in February; should have a future over hurdles but has fitness to prove here and others have more pressing claims; hood removed after one use. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Built upon his hurdling promise to win on chase/seasonal debut at Newcastle (2m, heavy) in January and he followed up there (2m, good to soft) in February; climbing the weights but this unexposed 7yo had something to spare for both wins and may well have more left in the tank. |
100/30 |

1st 2 |
21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Runner-up in four handicap hurdles last season; heavy ground could have been a factor in him showing improved form on his successful chase debut over C&D last month, though was well backed prior to comfortably repelling Spadestep; 9lb worse off with the runner-up but clearly open to further improvement. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Front-runner who bids to complete a Fakenham hat-trick after two wide-margin wins in two-finisher contests this year (3m5f, soft/3m, good to soft); the value of his form is tricky to evaluate and today's faster ground may not be ideal but, nevertheless, another bold bid seems likely. |

Saw out the longer trip well to get off the mark here (3m5f, soft) four weeks ago; 6lb higher but has obvious claims and looks the one to beat. |

12st 0lb |
Last of four on handicap debut at Bangor (2m7f, soft) last month but didn't run badly in what may have been a warm little race, and improvement is possible from this lightly raced 6yo; has a chance. |

7th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |

Has shown some ability in bumpers and over hurdles, well beaten when trying 2m4f on last two occasions but he did rally; needs improvement on this handicap debut but the extra 3f could be a plus point. |

3rd Dec 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |

From a very good jumping family but was soundly beaten in two bumpers last season and made just a mildly encouraging hurdle debut when well-held third (fourth best on merit) at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft) last month. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Ostensibly a chance on the form of either of last season's third places off up to 5lb higher, one of them logged over 2m3f here; not a conspicuously strong finisher either time, however, which doesn't augur well stepping up to a new trip here; cheekpieces replace visor. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |

Made quite promising seasonal/chase debut over C&D in December and bounced back from a poor run with good third under Ellie Callwood at Hereford (2m, good; first-time visor) last month; could still have a bigger run in him; shortlisted. |
