11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Front-runner who made it 2-2 over fences when winning at Cheltenham (2m, good to soft) in October; however, his limitations seem to have been exposed since and he finished well adrift of No Questions Asked and Be Aware at Windsor last time; has had wind surgery but still hard to recommend. |

16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 37y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Front-runner who made it 2-2 over fences when winning at Cheltenham (2m, good to soft) in October; won on soft ground over hurdles; carries a 3lb penalty today and his progress has stalled on his last two starts, but he's made mistakes each time and could make a bold bid if cutting out the blunders. |

12th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 11y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Did well for new stable in 2024, winning twice, and runner-up in valuable Southwell handicap (2m, good) on New Year's Day; reverts to hurdling after a pipe-opener on the Flat last month; probably needs to squeeze out even more improvement to land this prize. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Progressive since joining this yard and switched to hurdles, mainly under Paul O'Brien, while his sole Flat run for Harry Derham was a respectable third of 11 at Newbury (1m4f, heavy) last October; market may help on this first start since March but stable's horses don't tend to lack for fitness; should go well. |

8th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Can jump right; two fair efforts over fences since the spring, including at 2m4f (good), with another one over hurdles in between; not obviously ahead of his mark but adding a tongue-tie could help. |

26th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Only beaten about 1l when third of four on chasing debut at Ludlow (2m4f, good) in March, despite a tendency to jump right, and reverts to fences after perfectly respectable 2m hurdle run last month; still unexposed in this sphere and current mark is workable; must be considered. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Won at Exeter and then a close fourth at Sandown (2m4f, good); could put a line through his subsequent races on account of heavy ground and a trip too far; respected. |
14/1 |

4th 7 |
20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Won at Exeter (2m2f) in November and creditable fourth at Sandown (2m4f) next time, before heavy ground might excuse his latest start; this, however, is his first foray beyond 2m6f, after 37 races and at the age of ten. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 5y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
November's Exeter win looked unlikely but he stayed on much the best over 2m2f on good to soft; not beaten far off this 6lb higher mark at Sandown (2m4f, good) when close up behind Henri The Second who won easily back there last weekend; thoroughly exposed but enters the equation for sure; has won on heavy. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Third to Greyval 12 months ago off the same mark; hadn't been at her best this season but came good at Market Rasen (2m4f, soft) and clearly capable of having some say in the outcome. |

17th Feb 2026 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |

Exposed mare who hasn't been quite at her best this season, but is on a good mark (3lb lower than for last win); has an each-way chance. |
14/1 |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Rather hit and miss since her last win (2m4f, good to soft) in October 2024 and she was pulled up at Fakenham eight days ago; back on her last winning mark but has a bit to prove at present. |

11st 7lb |
Without a win since February 2024 but gave good account when sixth (promoted to fifth) at last month's Aintree festival; 2lb lower here and well worth another crack at 2m4f; considered. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 103y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
18 races and over two years since his last win, albeit still frequently competitive; below par over 2m5f at Ascot only 12 days ago but his peak form has come at around 2m (third in this in 2024). |
22/1 |

7th 5 |
29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 146y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
17 races and over two years since his last win, albeit still frequently competitive; big majority of his career has been at about 2m (he last went over further in October 2024) and he's never been this far. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Three-time hurdle winner who made it 0-5 over fences with another disappointing show at Bangor in late March, despite returning to good ground; clearly needs to raise his game in the new blinkers (replacing cheekpieces). |
7/1 |
|
6th 3 |
31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Three-time hurdle winner who is 0-4 over fences, with only effort of note in discipline when beaten in a match at Warwick in October (2m4f); does seem happier on good ground than soft, so last two efforts could be excused; cheekpieces return after going without them last time. |
8/1 |
|
7th 4 |
9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
3-20 hurdles, his latest win at Newcastle (2m1f Class 3; from 2lb higher) 11 months ago; a switch to fences hasn't suited (0-4, including being beaten in a match) but it's possible he'll strip fitter since his latest start; reverting to the smaller obstacles is helpful. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |

Has had three wins over hurdles but yet to convince on his suitability for this distance, latest when seventh of eight finishers at Haydock (2m5f, good) last month in first-time cheekpieces (retained). |

15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 50y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
All five wins have been at about 2m or 2m1f; wasn't that strong through the line over Bangor's extended 2m3f last time (good) and has further to go here; tries cheekpieces. |
10/1 |

3rd 6 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Hasn't fired as he can this season but he's well handicapped on form that wasn't that long ago; back from a break and hasn't had many chances over this sort of trip. |
