9th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Sole success over hurdles came here over two years ago and his best effort came when runner-up at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) last July; well beaten in three runs since, the latest on chase debut at Taunton in November; cheekpieces worn last time are left off and doesn't appeal for win purposes. |

Did not progress after winning 2m3f maiden in spring 2024 but ran big race in defeat over C&D (good) in July and is probably still well treated after subsequent 3lb rise; raced only on good/good to soft. |

12st 0lb |
0-7 over hurdles; ran well when third (albeit safely held) in higher-grade event at Kempton (2m5f, good) in November but two lesser efforts have followed and the ground here is likely to be slower than he prefers. |

4th Nov 2025 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |

Made inauspicious start to hurdling career in March 2024, unseating rider when trying to refuse at third flight, but his second of 14 here (2m3f, good) the following month was much more promising and he returned from long absence with perfectly respectable run last month; makes handicap debut today; further improvement possible |

Half-brother to two winners, including the smart bumper/2m4f-3m jumps winner Assemble; promising third at 40-1 on his hurdling debut at Wincanton (1m7f, soft) last month but he failed to build on that when upped at 2m3f at Warwick; didn't jump well last time and others are more convincing. |

Switched to chasing this season and ran well on first four starts, before an early unseat 12 days ago; all those were over about 2m4f and two attempts at this sort of trip last term as a hurdler left his stamina unproven. |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |

Won on chase debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in October and he's backed that up with two solid efforts, including when runner-up over C&D (good) in December; hasn't run on testing ground for a while, but he still has potential as a chaser and is only 4lb higher than for his win; respected with tongue-tie added. |

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. |

Stayed on from unpromising position for close fourth in first-time blinkers at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft) last month but is now 0-5 over fences, and it's not easy to predict whether the first-time visor will get the best out of him here. |
