10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 12lb |
Absent and had further wind surgery since his ready win over C&D (good to soft) on Boxing Day when proving well suited by the step up from 2m and taking record to 4-7; progressive and remains particularly unexposed at this trip; looks an ideal type for this assignment. |

17th Mar 2025 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
A good-ground bumper winner who has yet to build on the promise shown in his novice hurdles (2m) since upped in distance and has been soundly beaten on both starts in handicaps this year; has something to prove at present but the return to maiden company on better ground could help. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Won a good-ground maiden last April and two of his three handicaps this winter; latest was in 18-runner race at Ascot (2m7f, good to soft) seven weeks ago in which he travelled well and asserted on the run-in to score by just over 6l; 8lb higher today but more in the tank; major player. |

Two hurdle wins last year, the latter from the front in Huntingdon handicap (2m4f, soft) in December; not in same form when well-held third off same mark at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) ten days later, though, and now 5lb higher; upped in trip again. |

5th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Came second in a good-ground bumper for Gary Brown in summer 2023 and was not disgraced in a heavy-ground novice hurdle in December 2024 but this year's two point runs for Myles Osborne were very underwhelming; now with another new trainer for this rules return. |

31st Dec 2024 Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Too free after an absence on her hurdling debut at Leicester (1m7f, heavy) and didn't shape too badly in the circumstances; had shown promise in points and a bumper. |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Bumper winner who is 0-10 over hurdles, but he made a promising start over fences when third of six at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) last month; that was eyecatching from an unpromising position and he wasn't far behind the runner-up Hawk Stone; interesting contender with cheekpieces added. |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Chepstow bumper winner who has made the frame several times over hurdles at Ffos Las; could go well off a reduced mark, provided he takes to fences. |
12/1 |

3rd 3 |
19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
0-8 over hurdles and very inconsistent but kept on for respectable fourth here (2m, soft) on seasonal debut three weeks ago and is probably worth another crack at 2m4f. |

8th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Low-mileage 6yo scored easily on just his second run over fences at Market Rasen (3m) in February but he proved a big letdown under a 7lb penalty at Leicester (2m4f) 11 days later; possibly found that run coming too quickly so shouldn't be written off. |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
12st 5lb |
Lightly raced 6yo, who made it second time lucky over fences with an easy win in a Market Rasen handicap (3m, soft) 11 days ago; 3lb well in under a penalty for that success and he has plenty of scope for further progress on this drop back in trip; strong contender. |

1st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Low-mileage 6yo who made promising chase debut at Catterick (2m3f, good) just after Christmas, staying on well for third; moves back up in trip here and has plenty of scope for improvement; must be considered. |

Yet to finish in the first six in points or under rules, so hard to recommend even though he ought to be helped by this step up in trip. |
