11st 4lb |
Prominent-racer who is unbeaten in three starts for Harry Derham (1m7f-2m1f, good-soft), most recently beating five rivals at Musselburgh in January; today is a much tougher test of his credentials but this 6yo C&D winner is clearly thriving and could continue to improve for his up-and-coming yard. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Record of 4-12 over hurdles but she was vulnerable in her final three runs last year including over C&D (good); now only 1lb higher than for her last success but she needs to rediscover her spark after six months off. |
8/1 |

27th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
4-10 over hurdles, the latest win gained at Warwick (2m5f, good) in May; not seen to same effect when ridden much more patiently there this month, after a break, but kept on steadily for a modest third and may still have scope for further progress. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
After being placed 12 times he gained an overdue success around here (2m3f, good) in March; let down by his jumping at Warwick since but looks sure to be thereabouts. |
7/4 |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Mostly consistent in defeat over hurdles and the same again over fences until digging the deepest under a positive ride at Stratford (2m3f, good; first-time cheekpieces); must have every chance off 4lb higher. |
4/1 |

1st 5 |
28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Consistent over hurdles/fences but she's still to register a victory, runner-up for the third time this season in 2m Leicester handicap chase in December; can't be discounted after a break with cheekpieces added, though. |

11st 12lb |
Three-time hurdle winner who had been in a good run of form until last time, though the winner of that Hereford race ran well in the Swinton last weekend; can go well if taking to fences. |

22nd Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |

Won three on the bounce earlier this season and probably produced even better form in defeat at Kempton recently behind one in form; solid chance. |

Scored for the first time in two years at Newcastle (2m4f, good) four weeks ago; up 4lb and should not be far away in this follow-up bid. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |

Winless since May 2024 and he's not proving easy to catch right this season, a below-par sixth in 2m3f Carlisle handicap hurdle 20 days ago. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |

On a near two-year losing spell and isn't certain to confirm last-time placings with Ryebridge, who is less exposed; that said, again has an each-way squeak. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Good-ground specialist who was a course winner in 2024 and returns here after two good efforts this spring, the latter a close fourth at Aintree (2m4f, good) 16 days ago; respected. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Enjoys good ground; bumped into the enigmatic Numitor on a good day at Hereford last month (2m5f) but this 10yo also struggles with his consistency; he's capable but risky enough. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 3 |

Enjoys good ground on which he beat the useful Mahons Glory by 8l at Market Rasen in September (2m5f); tailed off since then on either side of a 140-day break but those were strong handicaps; respected. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
0-11 since winning on hurdle debut in October 2022 but he ran pretty well when third at Kelso (2m, heavy) last month following wind surgery; he's in with an each-way shout if backing up that latest performance. |
9/2 |

3rd 5 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
He's won just one of his 18 starts and could do with settling better; however, he took a step back in the right direction when fifth of nine at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) on New Year's Day and has had wind surgery since; also effective on soft ground; might not be far away. |
11/1 |

11th 5 |
2nd Nov 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 33y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Maiden on the Flat; placed in three handicap hurdles last season for Alan King so has a race in him off this mark and new trainer (after £14,000 sale) has booked Sam Twiston-Davies; could be interesting. |
15/2 |
