9yo who is lightly raced for his age and made it four wins from his last five starts, and 2-3 over fences, when scoring at Uttoxeter (3m, soft) in November; has a progressive profile and could play another leading role. |

Won a claimer at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) in December, then finished a respectable second of four in a novice the following month; however, form eventually tailed off and he was last seen suffering a heavy odds-on defeat in an Exeter seller in April; has since joined Daniel Bourne and change of scenery needs to spark a revival. |

11st 5lb |
Point/bumper winner but now 0-6 over hurdles and ran a disappointing final race in the new cheekpieces at Warwick (2m5f, good); he is capable of better and a tongue-tie is now added, but wouldn't be the percentage play. |

11st 12lb |
Came good at Fontwell (2m5f, good) in March and probably bettered that performance when close second at Newton Abbot (2m5f, heavy) in April; reportedly not suited by the sharp track at Cartmel when very disappointing favourite last month but might bounce back in new headgear here and is evidently versatile ground-wise. |

Arrives on the up for his current yard, scoring at Fontwell (2m5f) in March before an excellent second of nine in 2m5f handicap at Newton Abbot the following month; he was a fair 1m6f Flat winner so merits serious consideration despite a 3lb weights rise. |

Capable of very good form on the Flat in his younger days, staying well and handling soft ground; encouraging runs in two Newbury maiden hurdles following a long absence and should be a factor in this company. |

Useful maiden on Flat in his younger days; encouraging effort, finishing third in big field, over C&D (soft) last month on hurdles/stable debut and return from very long absence; should improve with that outing under his belt and looks interesting. |

All five wins have been over 2m on AW; couldn't pose a threat at Lingfield last month but the drop back to 1m5f looked against him and he went very close on his Wolverhampton reappearance in March; still looks feasibly treated on that form and has possibilities back at his optimum trip. |

Matched his previous best when beaten 17l in fourth at Lingfield (about 2m3f, good to soft) in November but pulled up then last (first-time visor) in two subsequent outings; cheekpieces now given a whirl and might come on for latest outing; 6lb 'wrong', though. |

10st 9lb |
Made all to open account over C&D (good) in first-time blinkers ten days ago, his 11th start over fences; drew nicely clear of the others with the runner-up that day and was only raised 3lb; could be hard to catch. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Can make mistakes but mainly consistent over fences for this yard; pulled up at Warwick after an error last time but 2m and ground that was likely faster than good were probably not ideal; that brought his record to 0-18 but he's not ruled out in first-time blinkers back up in trip. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |

Held up and was never that threatening when beaten just over 7l into fourth at Ffos Las (2m3f, good to soft); that's two pleasing enough runs since the visor went on and this 17-race maiden has each-way claims. |

Four-time hurdle winner and career-best form to win by 10l at Fontwell two runs ago (2m5f, good to soft); went up 8lb for that and was back down to earth on his return visit when beaten 20l; hard to know entirely what to expect from him. |

Four-time hurdle winner who rewarded good market support and showed career-best form when drawing clear to score by 10l here (2m5f, good to soft) in March; 8lb rise asks a fair bit of him but the forecast faster ground should not be a problem. |

Badly hampered when third on debut at Newton Abbot in May 2022 and she led when running out at Stratford (again on good) that June; avoided mishaps at Sedgefield (soft) last January in another bumper but that performance was underwhelming; mixed messages but worth a second look. |
