16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
He's not the only possible front-runner in this field but he's an improving 7yo who came 15l clear in a small field at Haydock four weeks ago (2m3f, good); a 6lb rise could have been worse and, although this is a lot more challenging, he's in the mix. |

19th Mar 2025 Good 2m 2f 191y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won maiden hurdle at Market Rasen (2m, good) in November and he's since been a respectable third in his first two handicaps (1m7f/2m, good to soft/soft); those were warm races and this front-runner can make a bold bid. |

11th Apr 2025 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
5yo who is 0-8 under rules but he's finished third in both his chase runs and latest was behind a progressive subsequent winner at Stratford (2m7f, good to soft); still has room for improvement in the jumping department but it's early days in this sphere and he's respected back in trip. |

18th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Irish point winner in 2023; has yet to fulfil initial bumper promise and was pulled up a year ago on handicap debut (3m, soft; first-time cheekpieces) on final start for Nicky Henderson; interesting to see what the new stable can do with him; market can guide. |

3rd 3 |
26th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Irish maiden point winner in May 2023; with a top yard but came up short under Ben Sutton in his two bumpers and two hurdle races (both over an extended 2m4f) so he looks one of their lesser lights; unraced on soft. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Point runner-up and maiden hurdle winner but has disappointed in three chase starts this winter, pulling up at Sedgefield with cheekpieces added eight weeks ago; blinkers are tried now. |
10/1 |

4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 77y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Point runner-up and maiden hurdle winner for whom things could click over fences at some point; well beaten on first two chase starts and hopes are pinned on the first-time cheekpieces giving him a boost. |
7/1 |

7th 6 |
2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Won Fontwell maiden hurdle (2m1f, good) in March and was not beaten far when eighth of 22 in Punchestown festival handicap in May; however, his record over hurdles was very mixed and he's a bit of a character (ran out in consecutive races last autumn); had wind op in spring; comes with risk attached on chasing debut. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Improved for the switch to 2m good-ground handicaps, looking well placed to defy a 9lb hike for his earlier Stratford success when unseating at the last at Plumpton latest; up 1lb more but case is obvious. |
2/1 |

19th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
On the up since sent into handicaps and he readily landed 11-runner event at Stratford (2m) 22 days ago, forging clear from final flight; hiked up 9lb but still merits serious consideration. |

1st 10 |
28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Lightly raced 7yo who has advanced his form since sent handicapping, runner-up (over 2m) at Fakenham and Plumpton this year; can go well again nudged up 1lb. |

7th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 2f 111y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Well beaten on last month's handicap debut but that run came after a seven-month absence and she may yet deliver on promise shown in 2m/2m3f maidens last summer. |

18th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |

Unexposed mare who made the frame in two maiden hurdles last summer (2m3f, good/2m, soft); open to improvement in handicaps but has fitness to prove after seven-month break. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Completed hurdle double when winning here (2m6f, soft) in December and tapped back into that promise when runner-up at Sandown (2m4f, soft) a fortnight ago on his third run over fences; won on good to soft going over hurdles; that latest form reads well and he's high on the list this afternoon. |
11/2 |

2nd 7 |
7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 15y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Highly progressive over hurdles in 2025, winning four times (2m4f-2m7f, good to soft/soft), but he's performed below that level switched to fences in recent months; still early days in this sphere but difficult to make a case for him here. |
25/1 |

4th 1 |
19th Feb 2026 2m 0f 77y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Highly progressive over hurdles last year, winning four times (2m4f-2m7f, good to soft/soft); weakened quickly when soundly beaten sixth on last month's chase debut at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) but that's unlikely to be the limit of his ability over fences; no surprise to see a bold show. |

Ten-race maiden whose best form has been at 2m and he was tailed off when raised to 2m4f at Southwell (good) only recently; now goes in cheekpieces. |

0-7 over hurdles and absent since a poor performance in January but his second of 13 here (2m, good) in November was a good effort and he could plausibly have untapped potential over this longer trip. |

Placed in 2m Southwell maiden (good to soft) in February and also shaped with promise when sixth over that trip on handicap debut at Ffos Las (good) last month; upped in trip today; should still have a bigger run in him. |
