2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Bumper winner (2m, soft) who has run well all three starts over hurdles, last time getting off the mark in a maiden at Chepstow (2m, soft) when beating a subsequent dual winner who is now rated 16lb higher; interesting on handicap debut although unproven on this better ground. |

21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won a soft-ground bumper for another stable last season; beaten odds-on favourite when second on both hurdling starts, the latter at Wincanton (1m7f, heavy) one week ago, but has each-way claims at least here. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 |
14th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won the first of his three bumpers and that was on soft at this track; turned over at short odds on hurdle debut at Sedgefield (2m4f, soft) in December but he was only narrowly denied in a clear second; that was a promising start in this sphere and he's respected on this drop back in trip. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner; pulled up in a Sandown handicap (2m4f, soft) last month but that was a tough assignment in a valuable event and he still has potential after only five runs in this sphere; needs checking in market on this drop back in grade. |
6/1 |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 178y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Bit disappointing when stepped up in trip over C&D (heavy) five weeks ago; had a solid record over 2m before then, winning at Lingfield (good to soft; by neck from Cinquenta), but he now needs to get back on track. |
20/1 |

3rd 1 |
31st Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 178y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Largely solid record at about 2m features wins in Cheltenham Listed bumper (soft) last term and Lingfield maiden hurdle (good to soft) latest start; open to further progress on handicap debut, assuming he stays this new trip; possibilities. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
10st 3lb |
Has proved a model of consistency in the last 12 months and he rallied for fourth behind Dance And Glance over C&D last time; however, that run underlined that the handicapper appears to have his measure for now; needs to be boosted by the fitting of cheekpieces. |
20/1 |

4th 9 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 144y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
He needs to find something extra on his last three performances but this novice hurdle winner (good to soft) is now 2lb lower than when third of 15 on handicap debut at Cheltenham (2m, soft) in November, and perhaps he'll be aided by the first-time tongue-tie. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 8 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Holding his form pretty well, creditable third of ten at Kempton (2m, good to soft) four weeks ago, but he will need something extra off just 1lb lower and has stamina to prove over this much longer trip. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 191y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Solid start over hurdles when third at Fontwell (about 2m2f, good to soft) in November but diminishing returns were predicted by progressively bigger prices the following month; no immediate promise when beaten 21l on handicap debut at Ludlow a fortnight ago. |
25/1 |
|
6th 4 |
18th Feb 2026 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Promise in bumpers (soft/good) before encouraging third on hurdle debut at Fontwell (2m1f, good to soft) in November; two lesser runs have followed but he now goes handicapping following wind surgery and it will be no surprise if he plays a leading role for his top trainer (who saddles three). |
6/1 |
|
2nd 13 |
2nd Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Stayed on for near-7l fourth on debut at Wincanton (1m7f, soft; 11-1) in December and that form has been franked by the runner-up and the third; his best days probably lie over further but he's open to improvement for his top yard and is a key player today. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Low-mileage 5yo who has form figures of 11112, all at about 2m, since racing on good ground; ran well in a Kempton handicap at Christmas when last seen; improving but goes into unknown territory trip-wise and his chance also perhaps partly depends on the weather. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |

Dual novice winner but came up well short at Newbury (2m3f) on handicap debut most recently and can be opposed in this competitive field. |
40/1 |

7th 6 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 183y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
0-3 in bumpers but he's won two of his four hurdle races and been runner-up in the others; second at Taunton (good) on penultimate start showed he stays 2m3f, before his narrow win at Exeter (2m, heavy) on latest; makes handicap debut on a reasonable mark. |
14/1 |
|
1st 2 |
20th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Made a winning hurdling debut at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to soft) in October and has bettered that form twice since under a penalty, most recently when a 3l second at Taunton (2m3f, good) last month; should be competitive again back in trip if coping with more testing ground. |

11st 3lb |
All three wins in maiden/novice company (2m and 2m3f) but not far away in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham (3m, good to soft) in December and soft ground was a query when pulled up in that grade since; below market expectations in his sole handicap (2m) but capable of better back at 2m5f. |

10st 12lb |
Ran quite well when fourth of seven at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) in February, her second start for Max Comley, but looked out of sorts at Hereford last month and is now 0-7 over hurdles. |
20/1 |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Not progressing over hurdles and often undermines her chances by failing to settle, but has bits of form that bring her into the reckoning, notably when fourth at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) in February; still something to find and stamina to prove over this longer trip. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Yet to settle in any hurdling start, though still managed to remain meaningfully involved until the run-in at Wincanton latest (1m7f, good to soft) even so; sharper track and sounder surface look the way to go. |

11st 1lb |
Daughter of No Risk At All; tongue tied and took a big step forward from her debut when runner-up in bumper at Hexham 42 days ago; she can do better still so rates a big player. |
5/4 |

2nd 6 |
27th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Weakened when last of ten on Wincanton debut (1m7f, soft) in December and can only be watched on her return; tongue-tie added. |
