27th Mar 2025 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Clearcut winner of his second handicap start (3m, good to soft) and a tongue-tie is now added after reportedly making a noise back at Taunton last time; 6lb higher than for his win but firmly enters the reckoning. |

Favourite in ten-runner contest over C&D (good to soft) in November for his second handicap and registered a clearcut win, responding well to lead between the last two flights; up 6lb but looks the type to improve further. |

8th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Improved for staying trips on good ground as a hurdler, finishing a good second at Exeter and going one better at Ascot (both about 2m7f) in March; had more on his plate behind a progressive one at Worcester in May but even so he wasn't quite at his best; should have potential now chasing. |

23rd May 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Has form figures of 23421 since joining Jeremy Scott and he justified favouritism with a comfortable success at Ascot (2m7f, good) in March; up 5lb but his confidence should be boosted after that breakthrough win and he's open to more progress; respected. |

9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
C&D winner who had been running well in both codes until a well-held fifth in 2m4f Wincanton handicap hurdle 39 days ago; she's the sort to bounce back. |
12/1 |

5th 10 |
29th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Just 1-20 under rules but runner-up in two of her last three runs, including over hurdles at Hereford (2m5f, good) in November; sole win was on good to firm ground but she handles soft (more to prove on heavy) and has possibilities back in this sphere. |

4th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Well supported when scoring at Taunton (3m, good to firm) on penultimate start, her first after wind surgery; went up 5lb for that; couldn't match that effort when dropped back to 2m2f here latest; drops 1lb and the return to further should suit; player. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 25y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won over 2m5f on heavy here 13 months ago; consistent in defeat this season in handicaps at about this distance, running his usual honest race last time at Ascot; has nudged up the weights so his rider's 7lb claim is welcomed; good to soft is fine but he has a bit to prove on good. |

14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 123y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Won at Exeter (2m5f, heavy) just under a year ago and has made the frame over 2m7f there on all three starts this season but has a bit more on his plate in this higher grade and needs a career-best effort. |

6th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
0-12 over hurdles; ran well when second in first-time visor at Exeter (2m5f, heavy) two starts ago but is far too inconsistent to rely upon heavily, and drying ground may not be ideal for him on this chasing debut. |

0-12 over hurdles but caught the eye at Doncater (3m, good) last month, keeping on well from the rear to finish third (just behind Skin Full); big player if able to build on that recent effort. |

19th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 5 |

Ran quite well over hurdles here (2m4f, good to soft) on stable debut in November but not much has gone to plan since; well held when unseating rider on last month's return to fences and effectively 5lb higher from out of the weights today; others appeal much more. |

Tailed off at triple-figure odds on all three starts (2m); a leap of faith is required to support her but she makes her handicap debut off a basement mark and her dam is from a prolific pointing family, so the step up in trip is an interesting move. |
