11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Useful over hurdles and even better over fences; found a bit more improvement when coming from behind to beat Be Aware 1l in three-runner Grade 2 novice at Windsor (2m, soft; handles good) in January; well beaten next time in 2m4f handicap at the Cheltenham Festival, lack of stamina probably a factor; this drop back in trip looks a plus and he wears cheekpieces for the first time (has won when hooded); not ruled out. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 44y Class 1 |
11st 9lb |
Three hurdle wins at up to 2m1f last season but he was the last to finish in the Martin Pipe here (about 2m4f) last March; has proved his worth in small-field chases since, winning two from four starts, over 2m3f (good) and 2m (soft); he can raise his game further but a strongly run race on a track with a steep uphill finish raises a question. |

16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 37y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Won a handicap at Ascot (2m3f, good) in November on chase debut and has continued in good form in Grade 2 chases on next two starts (2m4f/2m3f, good to soft/soft), shaping as though this drop back in trip is well worth a go; could have a big part to play. |

16th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
RPRs have been improving gently since sent handicap chasing, and a better jump at the last may have seen him oblige at Newcastle latest (3m, good to soft); won't mind good ground, having won an Irish point on it. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Maiden point winner who is 0-9 under rules; however, best form when switched to chasing for handicaps at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) and Wetherby (3m, soft) on last two outings and he may well be on the premises. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
3m point winner who is 0-8 under rules; respectable fourth on chase debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) last month; there's stamina in his pedigree and he's a possible improver now up in trip; not ruled out. |

22nd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Very lightly raced 7yo who comfortably won Wetherby novice hurdle (2m, soft) in December; just a respectable fourth of six on recent chase/handicap debut at Carlisle (2m, soft) but today's longer trip is likely to suit him and he probably still has potential. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won at Newcastle (2m, good to soft) last November on second chase start and some good runs since, most recently 12l third of 12 in series final at Carlisle (2m, good to soft); this is less competitive; high on the list. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 207y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Won the 2m1f handicap chase on this card last year and went in again at Newcastle in November (good to soft); subsequent defeats hint at a vulnerability off this higher mark and he was behind Tanking Along last time. |
14/1 |

3rd 2 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 77y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Built upon promising seasonal/chase debut when scoring at Newcastle (2m, good to soft) in November and again ran well when close fourth of six at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) in January; drops back in trip here; might still have more to offer over fences. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Effectively runs off 3lb lower here than when last week's chase success in a Newton Abbot match (2m, good) completed her six-timer inside 15 days; unraced right-handed so far during her winning streak, but no real reason why that or the return to hurdling should present a problem; 10lb well in. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Rapidly improving mare, having won three chases and two hurdles (2m4f/2m) on good ground in the space of a fortnight, latest at Worcester yesterday on the bridle and value for markedly more than the winning margin; respected assuming she again turns out quickly, although any significant easing of the ground would be a concern. |
4/9 |

11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 4lb |
Fast-improving mare who has been on the rampage over the last fortnight, winning two 2m chases and two hurdles (2m4f/2m) on good ground; carries 7lb penalty for Tuesday's success over fences at Southwell but did that pretty easily; obvious contender, providing she's not derailed by significant rain. |

10st 8lb |
Won on chase debut at Hexham (1m7f, good) last May and close third of six at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) in December; however, beaten 20l in fifth when upped in grade at Haydock (2m, good to soft) last month and remains in Class 3 company today; a career-best is required. |

Won on chase debut at Hexham (1m7f, good) last May and some good runs since, most recently close third of six at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) after a break; however, a career-best is needed now back up in grade. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Low-grade Flat winner in Ireland back in 2023 (sole career success); unplaced in six races over hurdles and beaten 16.5l on chase debut at Southwell (behind Alshadhian) when a mid-race mistake didn't help. |
12/1 |

9th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Won a low-grade Flat handicap in Ireland in 2023 but unplaced all six hurdle runs for current stable; not beaten far when fifth of six at Worcester (2m, good) recently but not bred for chasing; others are much safer. |
33/1 |

Yet to get off the mark over hurdles but unseated two out when travelling easily at Huntingdon (2m, good) in March; pulled up at Uttoxeter since but could be dangerous off bottom weight. |
