12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Soundly beaten here in the Martin Pipe 12 months ago but second of 17 to today's Grade 1 Stayers' hopeful Ma Shantou back here (3m, good) in October; improved to win valuable race in another big field at Haydock (3m, good to soft) in November and should be raring to go today, with major chance. |

2nd 12 |
25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 208y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Dual winner at Fontwell (2m1f/2m3f) as a novice hurdler last season; unable to land any sort of blow when making handicap debut at the Festival here (2m4f) in March and raced rather lazily when seventh (not beaten that far) at Sandown in April but this step up to 3m may unlock improvement; not ruled out. |

18th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 60y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Winner of the EBF Final on last hurdles attempt and followed up, easily beating sole opponent, at Uttoxeter (3m, good) switched to chasing; subsequent effort, behind Salver and Doyen Quest at Sandown, leaves him with something to find. |
14/1 |

1st 2 |
17th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
2-5 over hurdles last season, the latter success gained from a long way off the pace on handicap debut in valuable EBF Final at Sandown (2m4f, good to soft) in March; moves up in trip for this seasonal/chase debut; looks a very good prospect. |

Solid record at up to 2m1f on sharp/flat tracks under rules; unplaced favourite over 2m5f at stiff Ascot last time, leaving him with something to prove in this similar scenario. |

9st 7lb |
C&D winner in May 2025 and 2026, latterly in clearcut style (from Now The Eagle) when 6-5 favourite on return from hurdling; back up 5lb now; third in this race last year and looks set for another prominent finish. |

4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |

Not seen on the Flat since finishing first and third over C&D around this time last year; comes into this fit from hurdling, though, and should make his presence felt. |
5/1 |
|
15th 18 |
10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 103y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
In good form on AW Flat last spring and returned from an absence for 50-1 win on handicap hurdle debut at Kempton (2m, good to soft) in February; weakened quickly in the Imperial Cup at Sandown (soft) but perhaps a return to less testing ground may help. |

8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Yet to hit top gear after four runs this season and was behind Ferret Jeeter when remote third at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft) last month but his fifth of 18 at Ascot (2m7f, good to soft) two starts ago came in a much stronger race than this; can't be ruled out. |
8/1 |

3rd 3 |
9th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Dual course winner (2m/2m4f); never looked dangerous when fifth of 18 at Ascot (2m7f, good to soft) last month but wasn't beaten far in the end, and this race is much less competitive; moves up in trip again; considered. |
4/1 |
|
5th 16 |
14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 123y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
2-5 over hurdles; dropped out very tamely on seasonal debut in December (2m5f) but shaped well before fading into sixth at Lingfield (2m3f, soft) last month; tries a new trip here; might still have potential. |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
0-9 over hurdles but ran his best race this season with cheekpieces added when an 11l third of six over C&D two weeks ago on his first try at this far; should be thereabouts if repeating the effort. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 5 |
9th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Still a maiden over hurdles but produced one of his best results over 2m5f, the longest distance he's tackled; modest third over 2m1f last time; combination of new trip and first-time headgear may have positive effect. |
8/1 |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
0-6 over hurdles but ran well in all three handicaps last season, most recently when second (albeit well held) behind heavily backed rival at Fontwell (2m5f, soft) in February; at least each-way claims if ready to roll. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
No joy in four goes over fences and made a winning return on his handicap debut in this sphere at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) in March; bumped into an improver when second at Hereford (2m, good) last month and should be on the premises. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Hasn't taken to fences this season but came right back to form reverting to hurdles last time, gaining a hard-fought win at Plumpton (2m, good to soft), his first success of any kind; handles most ground and 3lb rise leaves him still well treated on the pick of last season's hurdling form; leading contender. |
4/1 |

1st 2 |
9th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Very well handicapped if judged on pick of last season's hurdling form but chasing has not gone to plan this term (four attempts) and his overall strike-rate is now 0-14; needs to turn a corner. |

20th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
From a smart family but he's struggled in his four hurdle runs, including a Warwick handicap (2m3f, good to soft) last month; still early days for this 5yo but he needs plenty of progress on this step up to 2m7f. |

Two wins this season, the latter at Lingfield (2m7f, heavy) in February; disappointed on latest outing and will have something to prove if the ground remains good but Sean Bowen is a good booking. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |

Scored over C&D (good to soft) on seasonal debut in October and doubled his tally at Lingfield (2m7f, heavy) this month; still has a lowly mark after recent 5lb rise and ought to make his presence felt. |

Another small personal best RPR when last of two to finish in a dramatic Fontwell contest over Christmas (2m3f; winner won again next time); mere replication of previous best on slower ground won't suffice. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Upwardly mobile 6yo; won three handicaps in 2025 and posted another personal best when beaten a head at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) last month, pulling well clear of the third; strong candidate off just 2lb higher. |
4/1 |

27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 3 |

Progressive 6yo who made it 3-3 in handicaps when keeping on strongly to lead close home on seasonal debut at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) in November; fell mid-race last month but remains very much of interest. |

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. |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |

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. |

Four-time winner on the Flat who showed some promise when fifth of 11 on hurdles debut at Fontwell (2m2f, good to soft) last month, but has endured heavy defeats in both starts since; not out of the question he could bounce back on handicap debut, though. |
