17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Won twice over hurdles in 2024 (2m5f/2m4f) but seemed badly to lose his way in spring 2025 and returned from 411-day absence with another poor run this month; drops back in trip with a lot to prove. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Has two wins over hurdles but was below his best in his last three starts, in 2025, and is still higher than his last winning mark; returns from a 411-day absence and may need to come down in the weights. |

21st Apr 2025 Good 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Returned from break with three good runs towards end of 2024, including clearcut win at Plumpton (2m4f, good to soft), but looked out of sorts on both outings this year and needs a boost from the refitted cheekpieces. |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Both wins over hurdles came at Fontwell; having just her second go over fences when solid sixth in well-contested mares' handicap at Cheltenham (about 2m4f, good to soft) in December; disappointed at Huntingdon over further next time but had wind surgery shortly afterwards and might be worth another chance dropped back in trip. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Almost denied Easy To Follow in a heavy-ground hurdle once, but best figures win or lose have been returned on no worse than the good to soft of last month's tidy 5l sixth in a Cheltenham mares' 0-125; still early days for her as a chaser, appears to jump fine and holds strong claims. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 127y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Front-runner; having his 40th career start but a first over 3m when successful at Taunton and he followed up at Plumpton (3m1f; again good to soft); subsequent defeat, again under Murray Dodd, suggests others in here might be better treated. |
10/1 |

2nd 4 |
9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Showed improved form when stepping up to 3m to land his sixth success over hurdles, over C&D (good to soft) in February and followed up at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft) last month; remains unexposed as a stayer and holds strong claims to land a three-timer. |

9th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Front-runner who has been consistent this season and ended a long losing streak at Taunton (3m, good to soft) 11 days ago; went up 5lb for that but this track also suits him and he remains unexposed as a stayer. |

10st 10lb |
Slightly disappointing at Perth last week but was placed on consecutive outings beforehand, once over C&D on fast ground; swaps blinkers for refitted visor (worn once on Flat in 2020); no surprise if she's on the premises. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |

Three-time hurdle winner who is finding her feet after a long absence and she's an assured stayer over this far; looks handicapped about right but has each-way claims. |
7/1 |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Creditable second in small field on penultimate start; successful over C&D (off 2lb lower) last July but wasn't in the same form returned to this scenario (behind two of today's rivals) in latest outing. |
14/1 |

8th 4 (8) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Four Flat wins to his name, including over C&D, and he was second of four at Lingfield 18 days ago (1m6f, good); should run his race but perhaps vulnerable for win purposes. |
6/1 |

2nd 3 (2) |
26th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Four wins last year including one over hurdles and two over this trip on the Flat; just 2lb above his last winning mark, but needs to put a tame effort at Nottingham (1m6f, good) last month behind him. |

3-5 over fences; eased late on when beating Politacus here and comfortably defied a 6lb rise at Newton Abbot (2m, good), albeit at the expense of just one other finisher; up another 5lb but sure to go well. |

2-4 since switched to fences, most recently against her own sex at Warwick (2m, good to soft) where the form has worked out well; steps back into open company off 6lb higher but she remains open to progress in this sphere. |

Won three-runner chase at Leicester in December, her second start over fences, and her subsequent second at Taunton (also 2m, good) was perfectly respectable; may not be ideally suited by the forecast slower ground here but still features prominently in calculations. |

25th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Useful over fences and hurdles in his prime; three races this spring represents his busiest spell for ages and he was second of four over fences at Exeter (3m, good) on second occasion, but return to hurdling saw him well held over C&D (despite similar form) one month ago. |

Useful over fences and hurdles in his prime, winning four times at up to 2m5f; very lightly raced now but he showed signs of a revival when second of four over fences at Exeter (3m, good) three weeks ago; mark continues to fall and he's not ruled back in trip on return to hurdling. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Yet to add to his maiden hurdle win in 2023 but fairly lightly raced in the meantime and ran quite well when third at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last month; still unexposed over this sort of trip; raced mainly on good ground; could have a say. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |

Runner-up off 3lb higher at Stratford (2m6f, good) in October but he's struggled in both subsequent runs; hurdling record is now 1-10 and he has stamina to prove at this new trip after another break; down the list. |

9th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |

1-9 over hurdles; absent since a poor performance in November but the form of his second off today's mark at Stratford (2m6f, good; handles good to soft) two starts ago has been well advertised by the winner in the meantime; can feature if fully tuned up. |

Made the running for both hurdle wins (2m, soft) last winter; has found life harder in handicaps but better treated now and he was anything but a pushover for one on a three-timer at Lingfield (2m, soft) last month; trip query back at 2m3f with cheekpieces fitted but still respected. |
