1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
10st 8lb |
British runner is a three-time hurdles winner who has taken well to fences this season; built on positive chase debut when scoring from the front at Sandown (2m4f, soft) in March; not given an easy lead at Newton Abbott and jumping lacked fluency when last of the four runners (2m5f, good); easy lead could be difficult to find once again in this big field. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Three-time hurdle winner who has taken well to fences this season, building on an encouraging second on chase debut when scoring from the front at Sandown (2m4f, soft) in March, jumping soundly throughout; this represents a different challenge but the 5lb rise is unlikely to halt his progress and another bold bid is on the cards. |

Ended last season in poor form but made quite encouraging reappearance when fourth (about 9l behind Ballynaheer) at Hereford (3m1f, good) three weeks ago; on very good mark now and has cheekpieces refitted today; dangerous to ignore. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won twice last summer (2m7f/3m2f) but returned from a break with two disappointing runs last month (both 2m7f) and this drop back in trip is not an obvious move. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Has four wins over hurdles but last success was last August off 7lb lower; needs to come down a few pounds before winning again. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Three good-ground wins at up to 3m2f during a profitable 2025, all off at least 9lb lower; yet to defy a break in excess of 45 days, so absence since January cannot rate a plus. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Five wins include two over fences; he'll need to run a lot better than he did in a handicap chase at Warwick a month ago (after 101 days away) and in any case he could be vulnerable to stronger stayers over this far. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Five wins include two over fences, the latest at Huntingdon in October (2m4f, good) when 2lb higher; not so good in his five subsequent defeats and record when fresh is modest. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 2f 208y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won this in 2025 (good to soft) and was also on target at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in October; back on a good mark now and should be fine on today's forecast soft ground but has become far too inconsistent to rely upon. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Below best on soft two starts ago but he showed tenacity when hanging on to his lead at Huntingdon (3m, good) last month under Rian Corcoran; back up 2lb but he can find further mild improvement; respected. |

11th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Made the breakthrough in a first-time visor when scoring at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) in December and he followed up at Taunton (about 3m2f, good) at the end of that month; last of three finishers when up in grade on soft ground at Doncaster in January but good chance he can bounce back in this company on the forecast sounder surface. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Has improved all of a sudden since fitted with this headgear, winning Class 5s at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) and Taunton (3m2f, good); up another 8lb for last time but he had them well strung out and he's receiving plenty of weight from his rivals. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Won at Worcester (2m, good) in August 2024 on final run for Dan Skelton; he's struggled to get competitive this year, following a long absence, but the return to better ground and reapplication of cheekpieces (in which he won at Worcester) could both be positives; he might not be a forlorn hope. |
