20th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Went very close at Chepstow (2m7f) before gifted the race over C&D last month when left clear late on; she did hold every chance at the time anyway and has gone up only 2lb. |
5/6 |
|
1st 7 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Record of 2-7 over rules fences features a comfortable success on good ground at Bangor (3m) last April; best form this term when going very close at Chepstow (2m7f) most recently; another spring win looks plausible. |

2nd 6 |
26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 136y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
2-6 in handicap chases, the latest win by 10l at Bangor (3m, good; 8lb higher today) last April; creditable second there when returning in October but backward steps on her two starts since; latest (Windsor on New Year's Day) is a worry. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
In cracking form this season, with three wins and a second, until however he went down by 25l at Bangor (good) on latest start; maybe the ground that day was not soft enough; major player if bouncing straight back. |
13/2 |
|
6th 10 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
A lot more exposed than many in here but he's been in cracking form since returning from an absence and his defeat at Leicester was no backward step (2m4f, good to soft); firmly in the mix. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Has thrived since returning from a break in December, winning two of his three runs over hurdles before adding a third win of the season reverting to fences at Market Rasen (2m3f, soft) last month, each time under Benjamin Macey; he's up 4lb for last time but is very much a leading contender in current form. |

13-race maiden; last six races were in cheekpieces/blinkers over fences, taking two minor honours on good ground, but he is 8lb out of the handicap today; needs big improvement from the first-time visor. |

11st 13lb |
French hurdle winner in 2023; 0-9 in Britain, showing little when pulled up over fences at Exeter (blinkered first time) on debut for David Pipe on New Year's Day; needs the switch back to hurdling to have a positive effect. |

French hurdle winner in 2023; 0-8 in Britain for Laura Morgan and signed off for her with very disappointing chase run in October but was given a wind op the following month and starts off for David Pipe on a tempting mark; sports first-time blinkers and refitted tongue-tie; interesting. |

26th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Showed career-best form when drawing clear to score by just over 9l at Hereford (2m5f, heavy) a fortnight ago and is now 3-13 over fences; 7lb higher here but this trip-and-ground combination will also suit. |
11/4 |

Won this (good to soft) last year off 4lb lower, beating Kingcormac (second) and Greenways (pulled up); scored on heavy at Leicester next time and largely consistent since; swaps cheekpieces for a visor and has dipped below that last winning mark; player. |

10st 2lb |
Won here over 2m1f (good) and an extended 2m3f (good to firm) last summer; subsequently lost his form in three runs; hard to gauge how he will run after a layoff but he would come into this if back on song. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Won at Stratford over 2m1f (good) in June and an extended 2m3f (good to firm) in July; ran better than the margin suggests at Worcester in August; suffered a seriously heavy defeat back at Stratford last time, however, while soft ground would raise a further concern. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |

Has emerged from a spell in the wilderness this season and is on a hat-trick after two wins at Stratford (2m1f/2m3f); up another 5lb since last time but must be considered in current form. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Lightly raced maiden who is 1lb out of the handicap but he's finished third on two of his last three starts (3m/3m3f, good to soft/good to firm) and might be in with an each-way shout. |
12/1 |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
0-8 under all codes; bettered disappointing chase/handicap debut when very respectable third at Southwell (3m, good to soft) in February and could plausibly have untapped potential over today's longer trip but was back in the doldrums on latest outing in April and was given another wind operation (his third) soon afterwards; not easy to predict. |

Remains winless over hurdles and fences and he returns from 13 months off with enough to prove; it's easy to look elsewhere. |
