15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 50y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Skelton runner on a losing run of nine; up and down over hurdles this season and tried chasing the once in December; latest Kempton run when behind some of these wasn't overly encouraging and his trainer now turns to cheekpieces; still couldn't put a line through him. |
11/2 |

9th 1 |
14th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 0y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Has won maiden and introductory hurdles; running well either side of one chase run and he was the only one to pose any threat to a progressive type over C&D (good to soft; Fasol fourth and held) last month; up 2lb to a career-high mark but still early days in handicaps; not far away. |
8/1 |

2nd 2 |
21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Chasing was shelved after just one attempt, and he returned to hurdling with a creditable run in conditions event at Windsor last month, although finishing last of five; will have no problem with trip or ground and looks the pick of Dan Skelton's three on jockey bookings. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-13 across all disciplines but she's been placed nine times, including when third in both her chases this term (2m, good and soft); often hangs right for pressure but the cheekpieces go on for this return to hurdles and this represents a drop back down in grade; big player. |
5/4 |

3rd 6 |
22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
0-12 under all codes but made pretty good start to chasing career when third in race won by progressive subsequent winner at Leicester (2m, good; also suited by soft) last month and is 2lb lower here; a possible. |
7/1 |
|
7th 1 |
22nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Yet to win and unproven at the trip but has often run well, including on last season's reappearance and when keeping on for third at Hereford (2m, good) in April when last seen; could have a part to play on her return. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 109y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Low-mileage 7yo whose sole start at Exeter resulted in his only hurdles win (2m); ran well at the weights in Doncaster contest (2m3f, soft) switched to fences last time; looks well treated off his unchanged mark back in a handicap and is open to progress in this sphere to boot; respected. |
5/4 |

2nd 5 |
23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 31y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Lightly raced 7yo who won a 2m maiden hurdle at Exeter in December 2024; however, he failed to progress subsequently and considerable improvement is needed on this chase debut, following some time off. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
Second-season hurdler who is proving consistent; creditable fourth in competitive races won by Dance And Glance and Hot Fuss on last two starts; becoming a little exposed but again seems likely to give his running and is solid in that respect. |
14/1 |
|
4th 14 |
16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Second-season hurdler who was runner-up on first two starts this term (2m1f/2m, good to soft; including here) before close fourth of 15 at Ascot (1m7f, soft) four weeks ago; might not be far away. |
8/1 |

2nd 2 |
29th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Bumper/hurdle winner but he was a well-held fifth of nine on handicap debut at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) in February; still unexposed but he needs to find more progress after 252 days off. |

24th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 31y Class 4 |

Low-mileage 7yo who started career with an impressive point win (2m4f); duly proved suited by the switch to chasing at Hereford (2m; handicap debut) most recently and should build on that success; respected. |

Lightly raced 6yo who was placed in two 2m4f maiden hurdles at Market Rasen (good) towards end of last season; makes handicap/chase debut after 193-day absence but has plenty of scope for improvement over fences. |
