Won at Wincanton (1m7f, good) last October and is now just 1lb higher; however, this 10yo hasn't been at the top of her game on either outing this spring and was no match for Therapist at Stratford last time. |

8th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Has very good 7-31 strike-rate over hurdles but a couple of those wins were collected in small-field races in Jersey; didn't run badly when last of five at Exeter last month, after a layoff, and could be favoured if the ground ends up quicker than good here, but her two younger rivals appeal more. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
0-11 since winning on hurdle debut in October 2022 but he ran pretty well when third at Kelso (2m, heavy) last month following wind surgery; he's in with an each-way shout if backing up that latest performance. |

3rd 5 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
He's won just one of his 18 starts and could do with settling better; however, he took a step back in the right direction when fifth of nine at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) on New Year's Day and has had wind surgery since; also effective on soft ground; might not be far away. |

Maiden on the Flat; placed in three handicap hurdles last season for Alan King so has a race in him off this mark and new trainer (after £14,000 sale) has booked Sam Twiston-Davies; could be interesting. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Needs to rebound from a poor run in June but has largely consistent record since switched to fences last autumn and seems versatile regarding trip; raced mainly on good ground but handles good to soft; could have a say. |
8/1 |

16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
In the frame all six starts since switch to chasing in the autumn, including course win (2m3f, good) in first-time cheekpieces in March; ran big race when second (albeit well held in the end) over 2m5f here last month; strong claims if stamina holds out over this longer trip. |

After being placed 12 times he gained an overdue success around here (2m3f, good) in March; let down by his jumping at Warwick since but looks sure to be thereabouts. |

Signed off for Charles and Adam Pogson with 2m5f Fakenham chasing win last May; has failed to complete on all his five runs for his current stable however, tried in cheekpieces when pulled up at Leicester (2m4f) in February last time. |

Dictated a steady pace when winning a C&D novice by 4l last time, having previously finished a close third on handicap debut (4lb lower); he was useful on the Flat and may have more to offer as a jumper. |

11st 7lb |
Never able to get competitive returning from five months out in a big-field Sussex Champion Hurdle recently, but September's handicap debut win came off only 2lb lower than today's mark and he landed a good-ground C&D novice event exactly a year ago; could well get back on track. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 2 |

Did well in juvenile/novice hurdles and he reappeared in September with a handicap win in a five-runner race at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to soft; comfortably off 4lb lower); Newbury in November was disappointing but he did go off favourite and has had a break since; remains of interest. |

Runner-up in one of his two handicaps and did well to defy a 12lb penalty in a novice at Chepstow in April (good; fine on softer); open to further improvement. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Last month's down-the-field finish in a valuable Flat marathon is easily overlooked and he reverts to hurdling on an attractive mark but he's on the downgrade and has become inconsistent; soundly beaten twice in cheekpieces last season and now tries blinkers; hard to predict. |
7/1 |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 137y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
All British Flat wins (five of them) have been at Goodwood but the last four were on soft ground, latest in June 2025; sixth in this race in 2023 and fifth last year, both on soft; last August saw his only run on good to firm in the last three years and he wasn't discredited, but he needs to step up on this year's efforts, particularly as he's 4lb out of the handicap. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Ran creditably in sole Sandown attempt (four years ago) but is still seeking a first British Flat success away from Goodwood; modest third there last time in a race he'd won in 2022. |

12st 0lb |
For two years in a row now he's followed a second in the Imperial Cup with a disappointing effort at Aintree, second-time cheekpieces presumably not to blame latest as they're retained here; record of 1F12 in handicaps of Class 3 or below, and ought not mind any dryout (2-4 on good). |
2/1 |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 103y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
Returned to form in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when runner-up in the Imperial Cup at Sandown (2m, soft) for the second year in succession; 12 months ago he followed up with a disappointing effort at this meeting but that was over 2m4f and this is more his trip. |
12/1 |

2nd 14 |
7th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
He's been a long way below his best on his three starts this season and arrives with something to prove; however, there have been possible excuses on each occasion, namely the lack of a recent run, then the step up to 2m5f, and most recently heavy ground; now 3lb lower than when second in this 12 months ago (good to soft) and he's not written off in first-time headgear. |

Refused to race at Wincanton in October so not without risk; won at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) last August and returned to form with 11l third under Anna Johnston at Wincanton (1m7f, soft) in December; the winner aside, that latest form is working out well and he could be thereabouts down 2lb. |
