19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Lightly raced since winning hurdle debut in October 2024 but has performed well on both outings this year, latterly when close second in small-field Plumpton handicap (2m2f, good to soft) last month; considered. |
7/1 |

16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 169y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Dual soft-ground bumper winner who finished third in an Aintree Grade 2 in April 2024; yet to replicate that level over hurdles, but she showed marked improvement after wind surgery when a 5.75l third at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) 18 days ago, following a break; likely to build on that and, with Joe Anderson's useful 3lb claim, she looks set for a big run. |
2/1 |

3rd 1 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Two-time soft-ground bumper winner who has been disappointing on her three starts since winning on hurdle debut at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) in October 2024; however, she returns from a break having had wind surgery and her Lambourn trainer does well here; not written off. |

14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 123y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
3-5 as a novice hurdler last season; absent since encouraging third of seven on reappearance outing at Doncaster (2m3f, soft) in November but could quite plausibly have untapped potential over this new trip. |

22nd Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 2f 183y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Won bumper in sole Irish start; steady progress in his first three hurdle races brought two wins, making all at Fontwell (2m2f, soft) on last occasion, but he made a disappointing handicap debut at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) on latest outing. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 84y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Won at Southwell (3m, good to soft) and over C&D (good) in December and probably found the ground too soft when well beaten last time; on a career-high mark but a possible. |

21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Stepped up to this sort of trip for last four starts and won three of them, from the front at Southwell and Doncaster on last two occasions; those were all in pretty small fields, he has more to prove on soft ground (he did win a bumper on it to start career) and has been raised another 7lb, but this 6yo also has more to offer as a stayer. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Dual hurdle winner who was placed in a big field at Ascot on his penultimate run and he backed that up with a front-running at Warwick (3m2f, good to soft) three weeks ago; remains on last winning mark and he should go well again back in trip. |
6/1 |

3rd 7 |
8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Last win was off this mark; no closer than about 9l this season but was third of 18 tried in cheekpieces at Ascot three weeks ago (extended 2m7f, good to soft) and he should give his running. |
4/1 |

3rd 10 |
14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 123y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Scored off today's mark at Hereford (2m3f, good to soft) a year ago, his second handicap, but made his jockey work very hard before eventually plugging on for modest second at Uttoxeter (2m7f, soft) in December and was pulled up on latest outing; needs first-time cheekpieces to perk him up. |

Flat winner but 0-17 over hurdles and her third two runs ago was remote; opposable. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
0-16 over hurdles with limitations well exposed, but last month's 25l third at Hereford can be marked up as she'd tried to make all (not her usual run style) off the back of a 170-day absence; place claims. |
12/1 |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |

Yet to win in 15 starts over hurdles, having shown some promising placed efforts last summer before her form dipped in the autumn, and she was last seen finishing lame (well held) at Stratford in October; returns on a competitive mark, but with a bit to prove. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
0-13 over hurdles but was very respectable second when upped to 3m at Ffos Las (heavy) a fortnight ago and might still have a bigger run in him over this sort of trip if the ground is slightly better. |
10/1 |

2nd 4 |
30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Four thirds are the best he's managed from a bumper and 12 hurdle races, including off this mark when five ran over an extended 2m4f at Leicester (heavy) last time; that's the furthest he's been and he may well need a career best to win this; ridden this season by Eleanor Williams. |

Won twice over today's trip at Warwick for Dan Skelton last season (soft/good to soft); started off for Christian Williams with two pretty good efforts on good ground towards the end of that campaign but may find others in this line-up better handicapped. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper winner who had disappointed over hurdles until a step back up in trip brought about the necessary improvement to get off the mark in this sphere at Ludlow (2m5f, good) last month; should be suited by this further step up to 3m and is a leading player. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |

Good-ground bumper winner; disappointing over hurdles, though his handicaps have been at 2m and when he tried this trip once before he was 66-1 in a maiden; could easily be a factor. |

Good-ground bumper winner two years ago who's generally struggled over hurdles and has been off for a little over a year since an underwhelming handicap debut; dropped 7lb in the interim but would want to see some market interest. |

0-18 (including five starts on Jersey) before he scored by a neck in last-gasp fashion at 80-1 in a classified at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in March on first Flat start for David Bridgwater; beaten 22l when seventh of ten back in handicap company at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last month. |
