3rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won in first-time blinkers (retained since) at Taunton (3m, good) in April and had 9l to spare when following up at Stratford (3m2f, good to firm); also effective on soft/good to soft; climbing the weights but leading claims nevertheless. |
6/5 |

1st 4 |
17th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 83y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Led close home to score in first-time blinkers at Taunton (3m, good) last month and is now 2-11 over hurdles; not always one to rely upon heavily but remains well handicapped on older form and unexposed as a stayer. |
10/11 |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Down the weights but lack of impact in six handicaps (two over this sort of trip) prevents any confidence in her taking advantage; has worn tongue-tie and cheekpieces in recent starts, which are now replaced with blinkers. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 110y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Form has gone rather awry in last three outings but he has been progressive otherwise, culminating in 2m4f handicap wins at Cheltenham and Newbury in the autumn; may rebound and run a good race. |
14/1 |
|
15th 1 |
14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Largely progressive but came up short off top weight in the Lanzarote when bidding for a handicap hat-trick and needs to prove current mark isn't beyond him; unseated rider three out in 3m Grade 2 last time. |
8/1 |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Won big-field handicaps at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) and Newbury (2m4f, soft) in the autumn; having gone up the weights he was merely mid-division at Kempton (2m5f, good) last month and is untested at today's trip, but this lightly raced 6yo may still have more to offer and is not discounted. |

7th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Close third in a bumper in April 2024; showed nothing more than minor promise in three novice/maiden hurdles (2m-2m3f) but moves up in trip for this handicap debut and is a possible improver. |
10/1 |

7th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Displayed improvement when close third in soft-ground Taunton bumper in April 2024 but both hurdle runs there (2m/2m3f) towards end of last year were very underwhelming; back from 251-day break here; tongue-tie on. |
14/1 |
|
7th 4 |
30th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Close third in what has turned out to be a fairly good course bumper in April (soft ground) but never really looked dangerous when sixth here (2m, good) on recent hurdling debut; needs that recent run to have brought him on. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
1-5 over hurdles, the win gained in course maiden (2m4f, heavy) in January; flopped when warm favourite for chase/handicap debut the following month but could still have a good future over fences. |
3/1 |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Got off the mark at the seventh attempt in a maiden hurdle at Ffos Las (2m4f, heavy) last month; his respected trainer sends him straight over fences for his handicap debut and this unexposed 7yo could have a part to play. |
7/2 |
|
1st 3 |
30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Yet to finish out of the frame; below-par fourth at Windsor on reappearance but gave impression the outing was needed; one of the main players on peak form, which includes a C&D effort. |

11st 4lb |
Son of Jack Hobbs who took a big step forward from his debut when second of seven in Fakenham bumper (soft) in February; he may do better still so must enter calculations. |

150-1 and beaten about 20l in a useful AW bumper at Lingfield a month ago; this should reveal more. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
0-8 but placed over hurdles on his last three starts (2m, soft/good to soft) and that puts him high on the list in a race that might not take much winning; ran well on good ground in a bumper. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 9 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Seven-race maiden who has shown better hurdles form, namely third-place finishes over 2m at Newbury and Exeter, since having wind surgery; again holds place claims. |
11/2 |

3rd 10 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Well beaten on both hurdling starts in the autumn but, after a wind op, belied 125-1 odds when third of 11 at Newbury (2m, soft) last month; won't be far away if in similar form again here. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
Failed to complete a hat-trick but was far from discredited at Ascot (3m, good to soft) last time in the Reynoldstown, which was won 12 months earlier by a stablemate who subsequently finished second in the Ultima at this meeting; may have more to offer back down in distance, being 4-4 at 2m3f-2m5f; the tea leaves are signalling that he'll run well. |
28/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 185y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Record of 2-3 since switched to fences, most recently scoring at Doncaster (2m3f, soft); has form at up to 3m; open to further improvement and his stable has a good record in this contest; interesting. |
3/1 |
|
1st 3 |
23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 31y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Runner-up in Grade 2 novice hurdle last season and he left his chase debut well behind to win a three-runner beginners' chase at Haydock (2m5f, good to soft) last month; open to further improvement and could have a big say in a first-time tongue-tie; showed promise on soft ground in a bumper. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Low-mileage 8yo who opened his account in Chepstow event (2m7f, good to soft) then finished midfield, not disgraced, over C&D (good) later in April; reasonably solid in current form. |
10/1 |

6th 11 |
21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Beat well-handicapped, odds-on favourite when staying on well to open account at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) 19 days ago, his eighth start over hurdles; 6lb higher here but may yet have more to offer. |
4/1 |

1st 7 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
0-7 over hurdles; not disgraced when sixth of 17 at Exeter (2m7f, good to soft) last month and remains unexposed over this sort of trip but others have more pressing claims. |
