18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Front-runner who went close twice in a row at Kempton (3m, good) towards the end of last year following an absence; tailed off at Chepstow since on soft ground she should have handled; needs to bounce back, but not ruled out with first-time blinkers replacing cheekpieces. |

20lb higher than for her last win (gained on soft) after going up a collective 8lb for near misses over 3m on good at Kempton; however, has returned from a lengthy break in top form and another bold show looks on the cards. |

9th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
0-7 but signed off over hurdles with a second of 15 here in October (2m3f, soft) when fitted with a hood that was retained when again making the frame on chase debut at Warwick (3m1f, good to soft); beaten a shade over 10l in the latter but he made up his ground quickly before weakening and the run can be upgraded; headgear left off here but perhaps it's unwise to read much into that. |

Can be keen and that was again the case when hooded at Chepstow in October (2m3f, soft) but still ran well to be second in that handicap hurdle; retains potential and fences could be the making of him. |

Four wins (2m1f-2m5f) over hurdles; made an encouraging start over fences when 3l third of six at Southwell (3m, soft) last month; solid claims if building on that run with cheekpieces now fitted. |

Three wins from off the pace last season (2m3f-2m5f, good to soft/soft); managed only fifth on last month's return at Haydock (3m, good to soft) but was quite badly hampered by a mid-race faller and made good headway from the rear on the final circuit; might come on for the run; interesting. |

11st 11lb |
Nine-time chase winner including twice at Cartmel; didn't fire at Worcester in May but that was after a close second at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) and he's a player if he can recapture that form; not ruled out for yard that won this last year. |

Experienced chaser with a good strike rate (9-48 and placed on 20 other occasions); returned from a winter break not far off his best recent form when 1l second at Ffos Las (2m3f, good) last month; up 2lb but should again be thereabouts. |

10st 2lb |
He was looking when regressive even before pulling up in his first two runs for this yard but ran better at Taunton (2m3f, good; ridden by Kayla Ruddy), where he was no match for the front two but did come from well off the pace; possibilities; 1lb wrong. |

9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |

Out of sorts at the end of last term for Robert Stephens and he's been pulled up in handicaps (around 3m2f) at Fontwell and Warwick for his current yard this year; it's easy to look elsewhere. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Two wins for Chris Down last year, latest at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) off 3lb lower; well-held fourth of seven on stable/seasonal debut at Worcester (2m5f) but ran well for a long way; worth considering with that run behind him. |

Lightly raced and generally very disappointing since winning three consecutive hurdles on good ground in spring 2022 but arguably ran better than bare form suggests on last two outings, and makes chasing debut from another career-low mark; worth a second look. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Best at about 2m4f and he's looked to have stamina limitations in the majority of his runs beyond that trip; below his latest winning mark, last May, but he's failed to complete in two of his last three runs since back chasing and some reservations remain. |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |

Landed the odds in three-runner chase at Plumpton (about 2m3f, good; acts on soft/heavy) in May; solid hurdles second under Osian Radford in December and still on the premises when blundering that rider away over fences (also Ludlow, 3m, good to soft) last month; drops back down in trip; respected. |

2m7f maiden hurdle winner here (good) and overall Worcester record reads 2531; this shorter trip is likely still manageable here, although he was below form at sharp Southwell over nearly 2m5f on chasing debut last time (beaten 19l); fair claims off 2lb lower; cheekpieces go on. |

0-17 but she was a fair third on her first two starts this year (2m5f/2m3f, soft) then went close off this mark when upped to 3m at Taunton (heavy) last Thursday; also effective on good to soft; she could have more to offer over this sort of trip and is one to consider in first-time cheekpieces. |

4-9 over fences but yet to win in 11 starts over hurdles, although he went close under Rian Corcoran when runner-up at Worcester (2m, good) two weeks ago; up 2lb for that effort but still 3lb lower than his chase mark and another bold bid can be expected. |
