5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Early casualty behind Touquet two runs ago and 2m3f looked too far for him last time out, but he appeared value for a greater rise than 5lb for his Lingfield success (2m, good to soft; Touquet over 1l third) before all of that; remains of interest. |

3rd 3 |
9th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 51y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Off the mark on third chase start when scoring at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) in December; fair run over this trip at Ffos Las on previous start but he fell last time out; a possible on earlier form. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
2-2 over hurdles last season and has made a promising start to his chasing career this term; had to concede weight to higher-rated rival when runner-up in novice chase here (2m, soft) last month and remains on a good mark for this handicap return; good chance. |

2nd 1 |
27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
2-2 over hurdles last season; had to battle hard to justify skinny odds on seasonal/chase debut at Carlisle (2m, soft; four fences omitted) in November and fell at third-last fence when travelling well at Ffos Las (2m3f, soft) this month but remains a very interesting chasing prospect. |

Looked very promising in his two bumpers last season and beat a next-time-out winner fairly comfortably on last month's hurdling debut at Ffos Las (2m, soft); makes very obvious appeal here. |

18th Nov 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Failed to display any fireworks over hurdles, his best run when an 11l fourth at Plumpton (2m, good to soft); however, he goes chasing with low mileage on the clock and this is his handicap debut. |

Showed more last time at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) when beaten 11l but that form is no great advertisement for his prospects here. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Won easily on handicap debut at Bangor (2m3f, soft) in November and has continued in good form, finishing third of 15 at Windsor (3m, soft) latest; he has something to find if his opponents are at their best but that isn't guaranteed, and his current wellbeing and proven stamina are both positives. |
10/1 |

3rd 3 |
18th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Has a solid overall record; fairly useful form switched to handicaps (at about 2m4f on soft) this term, winning by wide margin at Bangor then solid third at Newbury; remains open to further progress; major contender, provided he stays this new trip. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Won a good-ground maiden last April and two of his three handicaps this winter; latest was in 18-runner race at Ascot (2m7f, good to soft) seven weeks ago in which he travelled well and asserted on the run-in to score by just over 6l; 8lb higher today but more in the tank; major player. |

Two hurdle wins last year, the latter from the front in Huntingdon handicap (2m4f, soft) in December; not in same form when well-held third off same mark at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) ten days later, though, and now 5lb higher; upped in trip again. |

Showed no significant promise when a big-priced outsider for three novice/maiden hurdles (2m-2m3f); significant improvement required on handicap debut. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 132y |
10st 5lb |
British raider; dual Grade 3 bumper winner in France; won two of first four starts over hurdles for this yard but a bad mistake two out proved costly when pulled up on handicap debut at Kelso latest; could go well if puts in a clear round of jumping. |

Won two Grade 3 bumpers in France and she made it 2-5 in novice hurdles when scoring cosily at Market Rasen (2m, soft) last month; also effective on good ground; in top hands and could be better than her opening mark. |

17th Feb 2026 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |

Won two Grade 3 bumpers over 1m4f on soft in France and showed useful form when placed in 2m novice events last year; got off the mark over hurdles with a minimum of fuss at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) in November and beaten a short head by Watamu at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft) the following month; now 7lb better off with that rival; claims. |

Verdict
Hurdles debutants JUBY BALL and Khrisma have particularly good claims on their bumper form, while Lud’or is the pick of the runners who already have experience in this sphere. Juby Ball gets the percentage call as he posted a solid effort at this track when last seen.[Steve Boow]
