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. |

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. |

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. |

Ran out on debut; however, he's been placed from the front on testing ground in his three maiden hurdles since, tongue tied first time when stepped up to 2m4f at Chepstow latest; absent since November and moving away from soft ground would ask a question, but his form suggests a big run. |

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. |

Four-time hurdle scorer and has collected three Flat wins this spring (1m6f-2m1f); turned over at very short odds at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to firm) 16 days ago but the emphasis in that three-runner race was more on speed than ideal for a mare who has won over just short of 3m over timber; can show she's still on a good mark back at 2m+. |

Unexposed on the Flat and she made it 3-3 in turf handicaps with an easy Pontefract (2m1f, good) win ten days ago; a slow start there meant she couldn't dominate as she had at Salisbury and Catterick beforehand; 4lb well in under a penalty; obvious chance. |

Lightly raced 5yo who was an easy winner of Chepstow novice (2m, heavy) in January and she had daunting task in Mares' Novice (Grade 2) at Cheltenham Festival in final run last season; this is more realistic on handicap debut and she still has scope for further progress in this sphere; needs a close look on return. |

2-3 in bumpers; well held in two of his three hurdle races last term but his third here (2m, good) in March wasn't a bad effort and he's now switched to fences for this seasonal/handicap debut; warrants respect, with pedigree suggesting he can do better in this sphere; tongue-tie added. |

Chasing didn't go to plan last season (four attempts) and he was easily reeled in after making the running on return to hurdling in March but a return to very patient tactics paid dividends at Bangor (2m, good) last month, where he cut through the field to cause a 33-1 surprise; his tendency to race too freely remains a concern but a recent 7lb rise ought to be manageable. |

Left behind previous efforts when winning at Market Rasen (2m6f, good; hooded) in May after wind surgery, her fourth handicap start, but never figured over 3m there the following month; bought for £3,000 since and, despite the drop in trip not being an obvious plus, she can have a say. |

Either or both of the wind surgery and headgear tweak inspired her to dig in for a head victory here latest (2m6f, good; Time Was pulled up); need to hope that improvement can translate to longer trips also, but clearly far enough down the weights to make hay if a corner has been turned. |
