2nd 5 |
9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Broadly progressive; has gone down the Champion Hurdle route this season and ran well in that race most recently, while leaving the impression he's ready for a return to further than 2m; leading novice hurdler at about 2m4f last term, winning the Challow and the Turners (both on good to soft ground); still unbeaten over this sort of distance and commands respect. |
15/8 |

3rd 4 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Bids to emulate Istabraq, Hardy Eustace and Faugheen by winning the Champion Hurdle a year after landing the 2m5f Grade 1 novice hurdle at this meeting; held a 1l lead, still not under maximum pressure, when falling two out in the Fighting Fifth on reappearance; unbeaten otherwise and is better than the bare form he showed in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham (2m1f, soft) last time when the steady pace wasn't conducive to an ideal test; still has plenty of potential in open company and commands respect, especially with a stronger gallop seemingly on the cards. |
11/4 |

1st 3 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Has raced only on soft/good to soft; one of two notable fallers in the Fighting Fifth in sole start this term, holding a 1l lead and still not under maximum pressure when coming down two out; unbeaten (5-5) previously and was impressive in the Challow prior to following up at the Cheltenham Festival last season for a Grade 1 novice double (2m4f/2m5f); remains a very promising hurdler and still one with serious Champion Hurdle claims. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Hurdle/bumper winner (won 2m novice handicap hurdle on latest outing), but perhaps not as effective on the Flat, although was beaten only 1.75l when third of seven off a 2lb higher mark at Chelmsford in February (1m6f); a possible. |
7/2 |
|
1st 1 |
5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Displayed ability in four runs over hurdles but was beaten a long way on handicap hurdle debut at Exeter (2m, good) in November; down 3lb but with something to prove on the back of that effort; modest form on Flat since, towards rear ten days ago on latest start. |
10/1 |
|
10th 2 (13) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Bumper winner and a fair maiden hurdler; 0-6 on the Flat but he was a good third in a Chelmsford handicap (1m6f) in February and the drop to back to 8.6f looked against him at Wolverhampton last time; should get a good tow into this race and he could be dangerous back up in trip. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Had three wind operations, the latest prior to him chasing home the favourite in a maiden hurdle at Perth a month ago (2m4f); he nearly won last year's EBF Final at Sandown when with Alan King, so has some class about him; won his only point and should do well over fences. |
11/10 |
|
2nd 7 |
22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Pulled up in Haydock handicap in February to make it 0-12 under rules; had wind operations before and after that latest run; arrives with something to prove but he has lots of good placed form and is a leading contender if back on song; the tongue-tie adopted last time is left off. |
3/1 |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Point winner who is yet to get the job done under rules after 11 attempts but has been runner-up five times, including in maiden at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft) 37 days ago; also went close in the always-competitive EBF Final at Sandown last March off only 2lb lower so capable of playing a prominent role if putting his best foot forward after wind surgery (also tongue tied first time). |

11st 10lb |
Showed promise in the second of his two bumpers and he started his hurdling career with a creditable third of 13 at Wetherby (2m3f, good to soft) in October; failed to build on that at Uttoxeter but this 5yo is still unexposed and he needs watching in market now upped to 3m on handicap debut. |

10st 13lb |
Lost out in a tight finish over C&D (soft) in December and creditable third to Big Storm Brewing at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft; fine on good ground) on latest outing; hurdles score has gone to 0-14, though. |
4/1 |

3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |

Sedgefield bumper winner (2m1f, good) in May 2024; runner-up (beaten 2l) in a division of this last year, and lost out in a tight finish at Musselburgh (3m) in December; less productive in a change of headgear (visor) next time; must enter the thinking in a weak race. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Had a wind operation since pulling up on chase debut last time (first-time cheekpieces now dispensed with); bumper/hurdle winner who had been in good form in handicaps prior to that. |
7/1 |

17th Feb 2026 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Lightly raced sort who won over hurdles at Huntingdon last February; has produced two solid efforts in defeat over hurdles this term and sports first-time cheekpieces on chasing debut; looks sure to be well-schooled and is open to improvement. |
13/8 |

3rd 6 |
25th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Won a bumper and was going beyond 2m for the first time when making a successful handicap debut at Huntingdon (2m3f, good to soft); effectively 11lb higher as they claimed 6lb last time, but in the right hands to keep progressing. |

Managed only sixth of seven (albeit not beaten that far) when upped to 2m4f for last month's handicap debut at Southwell (good; first-time hood); needs to learn to settle better. |

27th Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

Hasn't achieved much in bumpers and novice/maiden hurdles (2m), and improvement is needed off his opening mark; however, his dam won at up to 2m4f and the first-time hood could help him settle now up in trip; not ruled out, and the betting may be informative. |

Doubled her tally when successful over C&D (good) in April; always behind when last of 15 at Hexham since but may bounce back at her favourite track. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |

Second over C&D and went one better at Hexham (both good) last June on her first two starts for Sara Ender; back on form when runner-up twice at Wetherby (3m/2m5f, good) in the autumn and given a break since finishing fourth on softish ground at Market Rasen in November; should have a big say if ready to roll after 139 days off. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Disappointing behind Letsbefrank at Hamilton a fortnight ago but in good form otherwise this year, with two close seconds sandwiching a win at Musselburgh (1m4f, good); no surprise if he bounces back with a big performance. |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Dependable sort who's been in career-best form with a win and two seconds this season; raised another 2lb but can show up well again after his two big runs at Musselburgh (pipped by Letsbefrank latest); highly respected. |

2nd 4 (6) |
