20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Royally suited by a galloping 2m4f and slow ground; last month's win here took his C&D record to 161 and didn't feature the late mistake of several previous outings; 6lb rise leaves him with little in hand. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won twice over fences within a week last December but has essentially struggled off his new mark and still 6lb higher than for those two wins; still commands some respect in this weak a race. |
9/2 |

5th 9 |
1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Consistent either side of two wins at about 2m4f last December (good to soft and heavy) but there's nothing eyecatching about his mark now and he needs to find extra for the new trip. |
12/1 |

3rd 2 |
10th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Consistent sort who was successful in first two attempts in visor, in December, including over C&D (heavy); should have benefitted from his first run for four months when sixth of nine at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month; visor returns to replace cheekpieces and won't be far away. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Successful over 2m at Uttoxeter (good) but out of form since, with recent 14.5l third at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) no big step back in the right direction. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Badly out of form since the autumn but has a first-time tongue-tie fitted here and is now now 10lb lower than when winning at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last summer; well worth a glance in the betting. |
20/1 |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |

Drying conditions will be in his favour but this 7yo has been struggling for a while now on all sorts of surfaces; potentially on a good mark even from out of the handicap but he's a risky proposition at the minute. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Won at Warwick (2m3f, good to soft) and then ran well behind next-time-out winner at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft); a chance on all that and his Ludlow run in February was too bad to be true. |
10/1 |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Came good over hurdles at eighth attempt on seasonal debut at Warwick (2m3f, good to soft) last month; ran well behind next-time-out winner at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; must be considered. |
9/4 |

10st 11lb |
Came good over hurdles at eighth attempt, on seasonal debut at Warwick (2m3f, good to soft) 12 days ago; 5lb rise does not look excessive and he could quite plausibly have more improvement to come. |

26th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Nine-race maiden but he returned to form when third in a first-time tongue-tie (retained) under Osian Radford at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) on New Year's Eve; also effective on soft ground; has the same mark as last time and he's a leading player if backing up that latest run. |

11st 3lb |
Unplaced all six hurdling starts but shaped quite well before fading at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft; first run after wind op) last month, and may benefit from combination of drop back in trip and first-time tongue-tie here. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 16y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Disappointed when made favourite at Taunton (2m3f, heavy) last month, after a layoff, but is now 6lb lower than when placed in first-time cheekpieces at Stratford (2m2f, good to soft) just over a year ago, and can rebound on the less testing ground here. |

3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |

0-7 over hurdles; absent since placed in first-time cheekpieces at Stratford (2m2f, good to soft) last March and not sure to be suited by the slower ground here but it's interesting that Sean Bowen is booked again. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Suited by this track and has the assistance of Sean Bowen but has not been at her best since returning from a break in the autumn and would appeal more on good to soft or slower ground; 2lb out of the weights. |
7/1 |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 5 |

Won over 2m4f in late 2024; a couple of thirds in the meantime but pulled up the last twice when slow ground was no excuse. |

18th Feb 2026 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
First-time cheekpieces did the trick when she won at Ffos Las in November 2024 and she matched that form when third of 14 here (also about 2m4f, good to soft) last February; inconsistent and generally struggling since and pulled up after a bad mistake when blinkered for chase debut last time; handy mark, however, and the return to hurdles and cheekpieces might help. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |

Mixed results (U15) since wearing cheekpieces and switched to chasing; disappointing favourite on good ground last time; rebound needed in the retained headgear. |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Dual hurdle winner who made it second time lucky over fences when beating seven rivals in a Bangor handicap (2m2f, soft) last month; up 5lb but he turned things around with that comfortable success and should have more to offer in this sphere; key player. |
7/4 |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 5 |

Two wins over hurdles; showed nothing in that discipline on his return from a break and unseated mid-race on chase debut three weeks ago; too risky. |

11st 2lb |
Won by 8l over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) last January and on that evidence this 4lb higher mark shouldn't be beyond him; however, he's been well beaten this season on his first three chase starts. |
