Did too much up front at Ascot (1m6f) eight weeks ago; progressive otherwise in handicaps, winning twice, and may still have more to offer; possibilities, provided she stays the new trip. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Multiple Flat winner who was contesting only his second handicap over hurdles when winning with the front two clear over C&D (good) three weeks ago; a 6lb rise isn't the end of the world by any means. |

Showed fair form on his third hurdles start when runner-up at Stratford in October; below that form when fifth of seven at Exeter (2m7f, good to firm) on his handicap debut later that month; still early days and may show more here. |

Multiple 1m4f-2m winner on the Flat; effective in blinkers in that sphere and these aids now return for handicap debut over hurdles after racing lazily when second in a Stratford novice (2m4f); considered. |

She wasn't at her best on her return to action at Chelmsford three weeks ago but was progressive last year and this thorough stamina test could prompt further progress; new blinkers replace cheekpieces this afternoon. |

Came good with two handicap wins on fast turf last summer (1m6f/2m; wore cheekpieces) and was placed on AW on next two outings (2m; no headgear); has fitness to prove after 267-day absence but the cheekpieces are back on and further progress is possible this year. |

Three 1m6f handicap wins, latest last September; only two runs this season, taking a big step back in the right direction at Kempton (2m, AW) on latest but she is 4lb out of the handicap today; 3lb claimer is recruited for this half-sister to the very smart stayer Quickthorn. |

Knows how to win as he showed when successful from four rivals at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) last month, but he was allowed to dictate there and didn't back it up at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) a week ago (has won over that C&D); needs to bounce back. |

Recorded his sixth win when making all to justify favouritism off reduced mark at Wolverhampton (1m6f) 18 days ago; this is a deeper race but he's only 2lb higher than last time and has won over C&D in the past; could be a major force again. |

10st 7lb |
Won three in a row (1m7f/2m, good-soft) prior to heavy defeat at Windsor a fortnight ago; however, the ground was soft, heavy in places last time which may have been too demanding, and he's not written off today. |

16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Won on the Flat in September and also successful on four of his five hurdle starts since, including on soft ground and in good style at Haydock (1m7f, good to soft) last time; he's 7lb higher than last time and in a hotter race today, but he's clearly thriving and could go well once more. |

Won a Southwell maiden hurdle (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie) and a Carlisle Flat handicap (2m1f, soft) last summer, but handicap hurdle debut in September was too bad to be true; however, he made a promising return here over 2m 17 days ago when shaping as though he'd improve for the outing; interesting back up in trip. |

Off the mark in a Roscommon maiden hurdle last September (15.5f, gd-yld); respectable run on handicap debut here in November (19.5f, heavy) but disappointed in a stronger race at Limerick (2m, sft-hvy) when last seen; may do better back on a sounder surface. |
