17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
2-10 over fences, the latter win gained over C&D (good) in March; didn't run badly when third of four at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last month and seems likely to be on the premises again. |

3rd 2 |
14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Consistent 9yo who recorded his second win of the campaign at Stratford (extended 2m6f, good) last time, continuing a productive partnership with Isabelle Ryder; this drop back in trip shouldn't inconvenience and, despite a 3lb higher mark, he looks set to give another good account. |

28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Consistent sort who posted a solid third of six in 2m2f handicap at Kempton two weeks ago; eased 2lb here, so needs considering in his bid for a second success of the season. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Ended a two-year losing run with a strong late surge at Market Rasen (2m, good; last two hurdles omitted) last month in a first-time hood; nudged up only 1lb and likely to be involved again if reproducing that effort. |

1st 4 |
12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
No win since January 2024; consistent (43322) last autumn/winter; tried to make all at Kelso (2m, good) 19 days ago but faded from the second-last, finishing over 15l fourth to the subsequent Perth winner Scots Poet; 3lb lower, with headgear added. |

4th 2 |
24th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
On a long losing sequence but she arrives in good nick, ridden aggressively when fifth in 2m Warwick handicap in March; she can make her presence felt after a break. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Very closely matched with Masked Dance on their two Ludlow encounters in February, over 2m5f (soft) and 3m (good to soft); she's fine after a break and should have a part to play. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 174y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Three-time course winner, most recently when fending off Masked Dance over 2m5f (soft) three weeks ago; unraced beyond that trip but remains well handicapped on older form; will be a tough nut to crack if her stamina holds out. |
3/1 |

1st 6 |
4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Dual 2m course winner in 2023 (both times on soft); returned from long absence with quite encouraging run over that trip here (good to soft) two months ago and has slipped to a good mark but her stamina for 2m5f must be taken on trust. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Average form over hurdles but performed with credit when fourth of nine finishers over C&D (good) behind Superstylin on chasing debut last month; may do better in this sphere but has his work cut out to reverse form with that rival. |
14/1 |
|
4th 7 |
26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Was struggling for form over hurdles before finishing a 3.5l third of ten behind Gore Point at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) in June, but failed to build on that last month back from a break; makes chase debut off a sliding mark but others have more obvious claims. |

15th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Just one win from his last 18 starts but that came by a wide margin over C&D (good to soft) in January and he ran another big race when fourth of 17 at Ascot (2m7f, good) last time; every chance he'll be thereabouts. |

15th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 118y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Had to wait over two years for his second win but when it came at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago it was by a huge margin; back up 8lb and that's the furthest he's been, but now the possibility arises that he'll be interesting at this trip as well. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 207y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Three consecutive wins over hurdles in May/June (2m-2m7f, good/good to soft) and he was running okay in that sphere last month; however, he has something to find in today's company and he didn't improve for the switch to fences when soundly beaten in January on his sole previous chase start. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Came up rather short in higher grade last time; solid record (1112) in Class 4 otherwise this term, albeit has shot up the weights as a result; may be in the assessor's grip now. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
It took a return to selling level to regain the winning thread in May but has since gone 112 in 2m4f/2m7f handicaps; getting high in the weights (nudged up another 1lb) but he's pretty solid. |
