22nd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Made encouraging seasonal debut over 2m4f in November but has been well beaten over that trip three times since; she's suited by good ground and can outclass this field if back on song but is unraced beyond about 2m5f and arrives with a fair bit to prove. |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Dual chase winner in December 2024 and fairly consistent since, but she has struggled back up in class on last two starts, albeit they were some tough assignments; should appreciate this ease in class and she's capable of making her presence felt. |
4/1 |

16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 42y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Struggled in similar event at Cheltenham last time, ending a reasonably consistent spell of form; faces another difficult assignment and may need a return to calmer waters; gained her only wins in Class 4 and Class 5 in December 2024. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Hurdle winner at Ludlow (2m, soft); two decent runs over fences this season, last time finishing fourth at Warwick (2m, soft); each-way chance. |
4/1 |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Won over hurdles (2m, soft) last March; five starts over fences and has run respectably in four of them, including when third of nine at Worcester (2m, good) on her return last month; winner was a good second at Aintree next time; respected from the same mark. |

3rd 9 |
22nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
0-4 over fences but ran well to be third in a Cheltenham handicap for mares in April, finishing close up behind Somespring Special who recently won well at Chepstow; lurks off the lowest weight and could play a part. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Winning hurdler/chaser for the Moores and still fairly treated on his runner-up efforts at Southwell (2m, good to soft) and Plumpton (2m1f, good) in the spring; picked up for £16,000 last month and shortlisted on stable debut, especially if market positive. |

13th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
1-7 over fences and not the easiest to predict; still ran well last time at Plumpton (2m1f, good; first-time cheekpieces) where his jumping got ragged late on; hard to rule out. |

20th Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Respectable third at Market Rasen last time but is far from guaranteed to go two places better, being the least productive contender in this field; overall strike-rate is just 1-25 and chase record is 0-6. |
8/1 |

4th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 89y Class 4 |

With Dan Skelton when gaining her only success and she's again out of the weights here; opposable. |

19th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 3 |

With Dan Skelton when gaining her only success and hard to envisage her doubling that tally here from well out of the weights. |

19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Two wins at Hexham (3m, good to soft) last year and on a handy mark on that form; soft ground may not have suited here last time but he's now been well below par on his last two starts and has to get back on track. |
12/1 |

19th Feb 2026 3m 2f 59y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Won twice over 3m at Hexham last year (good); pulled up when returning from a short break at Catterick last time; conditions perhaps not ideal and a bit to prove. |

11st 4lb |
Won two chases and two hurdles on good/good to soft in 2025, including over this C&D last February; wasn't at his best in the autumn but wouldn't rule out completely. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Did very well for new stable in first half of this year, winning two hurdles and two chases; unseated rider in a chase this month, after a break, but could plausibly still have more improvement to come; respected. |
