6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Listed bumper winner who scored at Hereford (2m3f, heavy) in February on his third handicap start and was a close second to Mount Anglesby (2m5f, good to soft) four weeks ago; this 6yo could continue to progress now things are starting to click; possible contender in first-time cheekpieces. |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Prevailed narrowly in a duel with the runner-up, pair clear, at Hereford (2m3f, heavy) last time; Listed bumper winner in unbeaten 2023-24 campaign and remains open to further progress over hurdles; shortlisted. |

11th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won heavy-ground Listed bumper at the start of 2024 and soft-ground junior hurdle here (2m) the following month; looked ready for the step up in trip so it was a disappointing seventh of nine in Windsor handicap (2m4f, soft) last month, when his trainer blamed the track and testing ground; question to answer now but still warrants consideration. |

11th Apr 2025 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
0-10 overall but he's finished a close second in four of his last five runs including in a maiden here (2m1f, good) last month; this step back up in trip is no problem and he's a big player again back in a handicap. |

0-9 overall but second on a variety of ground at Fontwell (2m3f), Fakenham (2m) and Sandown (2m4f) in three consecutive starts this winter; flop in first-time cheekpieces here (extended 2m5f) last time is the big worry but he has a huge shout on those earlier performances. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
A marked step up in trip saw him emerge from the wilderness to win five-runner handicap at Hereford (extended 3m1f, good) last month and he did it comfortably, but he's 10lb higher today (4lb out of the handicap) against far more daunting opposition. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Both wins were at Huntingdon in winter 2024-25; ran well at Cheltenham (2m) in October but has had a bleak time of it since until something of an upturn at Chepstow (extended 2m3f) two weeks ago; needs to build on that and there was some encouragement last time for stepping up in trip. |

Beaten 31l, 56l and 90l in three soft-ground hurdles in February/March at around 2m; needs to take a big step forward but has had wind surgery since, a hood is fitted and is in good hands for his handicap debut. |

Fourth foal from a German Flat family; beaten about 31l when seventh of ten on recent debut at Hereford (2m, soft) but showed a modicum of promise and had some excuses; with that outing under his belt, he ought to get closer to the target here. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
C&D winner last November (good to soft; held up), when 15lb lower; also held up when showing marginal improvement to score at Wincanton (3m, good) latest; up another 6lb but looks a leading player. |
11/8 |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 150y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Made the breakthrough at Exeter (2m5f, good to soft) in November and he had a near-miss at Taunton (3m, good) the following month; looks interesting on that form but he was laboured at Exeter last month and that took his hurdling record to 1-18. |

Came good here (2m5f, good to soft) in November, his 14th hurdling start, and has performed well over 3m at Taunton on all three starts since; ought to be right in the thick of things again. |
