3-5 in slow-ground novice hurdles at around 2m last season; drew clear of a useful rival at Hexham last month and connections are evidently keen to switch him to fences for this handicap debut; respected. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
7-1 when early faller at the Chair in this last year; this 7yo was an eye-catching third at Ludlow in February on penultimate start, having been hampered, but needs to step up on this season's handicap form if he's to threaten. |

3rd 2 |
20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Returned to form when finishing third at Ludlow (2m4f, soft) recently, when back up in trip on his third start for this yard; he came clear with two progressive opponents last time, despite being hampered in the back straight, and could have a big part to play today. |
5/2 |

3rd 2 |
4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Won a hunter chase under former owner David Maxwell in March; sold for £90,000 in October; his quiet stable debut was at Cheltenham and he showed more at Newbury when about 11l off the winner (2m); returning to slower ground over further could be beneficial; respected. |

Progressive in novice company at Hexham (2m, heavy); stuck to her task when placed again at the Northumberland venue last time; switches to handicapping in suitable company sporting a newly applied tongue-tie; should stay further eventually; highest on the shortlist. |

22nd Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Won at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft) in December and continued to run well when upped in trip the next twice (2m4f/2m3f, good to soft); also effective on good ground; this unexposed 6yo holds each-way claims once more. |

7th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Well down the field after racing too freely on handicap debut here (2m4f, good) a fortnight ago; needs combination of drop back in trip and first-time cheekpieces to enable significant improvement. |

10st 13lb |
2-20 over hurdles; put in good front-running shift before weakening into fifth at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) this month and may benefit from today's drop back in trip but others in the line-up have more appealing profiles. |

Stuck to his task pretty well when fifth of 12 in Fontwell handicap (2m3f, good) 11 days ago but has rather mixed record since winning 2m Plumpton maiden in October and others appeal more. |

11st 3lb |
Fared respectably on first few starts for Chris Grant in late 2022, including when runner-up to a long odds-on favourite at Hexham (2m, soft; beaten 22l); always behind and pulled up on recent return to action, so probably needs more time to recapture peak form; look elsewhere. |

In good hands and closely related to several winners, best of them Locks Corner, an eight-time scorer for Jonjo O'Neill; dam was unraced; pedigree suggests this trip should be within her range. |
