3rd 1 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Doesn't help himself by tending to race too freely but got off the mark over fences at fifth attempt, with front-running success at Ludlow (2m4f, good) last month; 5lb rise is offset by Jay Tidball's claim here, and this drop back in trip won't be a problem; respected. |

1st 1 |
19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper winner who picked up maiden and novice hurdles (about 2m1f; good to soft and good) last term; beaten a combined 62l despite finishing second in three of his four subsequent chases but still looks a work in progress and his latest effort offered hope he might be putting it together; weakened on his one try at this sort of trip under rules. |
9/4 |

2nd 3 |
29th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Winner of a point, a bumper and twice over hurdles; did far too much early when second of three on his chase debut at Ffos Las (2m3f, good) in May, but the form of that race has worked out well and this sharp 2m may prove ideal; has won after a much longer absence. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Two wins in small-field chases this season, the second over 2m5f here last month (good to soft); up 2lb; stamina to prove on first run at this trip. |
3/1 |
|
1st 1 |
8th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 198y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Won three-runner chase at Leicester (2m, good) in December and probably bettered that form when second at Market Rasen (2m1f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; set to finish second again before last-fence fall at Southwell (2m, good to soft) last month and could plausibly have untapped potential over this longer trip. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |

Consistent sort who comes here in good form, having won at Leicester (2m, good; three ran) in December and finished runner-up at Market Rasen (2m1f, good to soft) since; contender. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won a 0-50 classified event over C&D last summer and followed up in the same race 12 days ago; not always consistent and is no certainty to back it up, going without cheekpieces this time, but holds major claims under Billy Loughnane. |
7/4 |

1st 4 (5) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Pulled up over hurdles on his reappearance last month but he's a dual Flat winner and his last success was in this race (good; 5-2 favourite) last year; yard is in good form and he's an interesting contender back in this sphere; cheekpieces reapplied. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won his final two starts last season (2m3f/2m4f, soft/good to soft) and there's every chance this 7yo will get back on track at some stage; however, he's been disappointing on his three outings this term and it's hard to be confident regarding his claims today. |
10/1 |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Ended last term with maiden (on soft) and handicap wins, latterly at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) in April; disappointing on both starts this term but was struck into last time and has also since had wind surgery; additionally, he's now upped in trip and has tongue-tie and cheekpieces for the first time, so there could be explanations aplenty were he to stage a revival. |
9/1 |
|
11th 8 |
2nd Nov 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 218y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Still raw last season according to his trainer so encouraging that he could follow up his maiden win with a comfortable handicap debut at Perth (2m4f, good to soft); raised 9lb for that Class 4 success and this is appreciably stronger, but everything would suggest that he's going to get better. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His last win was 14 months ago but he made some good late headway when runner-up at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) last month; only 1lb higher here and he looks interesting back up in trip. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 2 (7) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Defied an 8lb higher mark over C&D in May 2025 but was in better form at the time; chance depends on the effects of a belated third attempt in blinkers (last worn in 2023). |
8/1 |
|
11th 13 (9) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice over about 1m4f (AW/good to firm) last spring and he's thrown in judged on that form; twice close up on AW in January and a respectable third at Bath (2m) in April, before Ascot 2m race last week proved too tough; there's a rethink on trip today and cheekpieces (last used in June 2024) return. |

5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
3-34, with latest win last November on Lingfield Polytrack; shot back to some form when beaten a neck off career-low mark in six-runner race on turf at Leicester (1m4f) on latest outing and he's notched up a few placed efforts at this track, so he's one to consider back up 2lb. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
0-9 over hurdles but he went close in a Southwell handicap (2m, good to soft) in December; was never really travelling when a well-held third at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) last month but that was after a short break and cheekpieces are now added; dangerous if he can get back near best. |

3rd 1 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |

0-8 over hurdles but kept on to be placed on both 2m starts since his wind op in November and looks well worth another go over today's longer trip; might be the answer. |

3rd 2 |
16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |

13th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Probably fortunate when left clear to score at Stratford (2m3f, good to firm) last month but readily followed up in four-runner C&D (good) contest ten days ago and is evidently in prime form. |

1st 4 |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Dual hurdle winner; proving consistent over fences and carries a penalty for Monday's 20l success at Stratford (2m3f, good to firm) where he was left clear at the last; looks sure to put up another bold show, receiving plenty of weight off his rivals. |
2/1 |

1st 4 |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Dual hurdle winner who has reached the frame in all of his four chase runs; was no match for A Little Something when runner-up at Fontwell (2m3f, good) this month but that was after an absence and he has a big swing in the weights with that rival; could be dangerous. |

Seven defeats under rules include three handicaps and he hasn't threatened in any of them (when runner-up two starts back he was beaten some 26l); didn't run too badly at Stratford last time in first-time cheekpieces and now goes in blinkers; has to improve, however. |

15th Apr 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |

0-6 over hurdles; evidently well suited by step up in trip when keeping on well for close second at Plumpton (3m1f, good) 12 days ago but that modest race was won in a slow time and others in this line-up have much more compelling form. |

Runner-up on handicap debut at Leicester (2m4f, heavy) in January and has won her next two (2m3f/2m4f, good to soft), all under Lewis Saunders; carries a 7lb penalty for last Monday's win at Southwell and this progressive 5yo could be tough to beat. |
