15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Maiden/handicap wins for Anthony Honeyball; long absences a feature in his profile but there were positives at Uttoxeter last month (2m4f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) where he ran well for a long way; stays this far; chance if the wheels can stay on. |

Won twice over hurdles for Anthony Honeyball; pulled up on his stable debut following a year's absence at Chepstow (2m7f, soft) three weeks ago; first-time cheekpieces go on but hard to fancy. |

21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Maiden winner here who returned from 718 days off to score on handicap debut at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) last January; there was some awkward jumping that day and again when creditable third in this race next time; absent since, has changed hands and left Anthony Honeyball; it may not be enough even if he returns in peak form. |

11st 1lb |
Won on chase debut at Worcester (2m, good) in October and runner-up on next two starts (including C&D) before narrow win at Windsor (2m, soft) in January; he's 6lb higher than last time and in a hotter race today, but this progressive 7yo may be able to find the necessary further improvement. |

Solid record (122) switched to fences this term and his penultimate effort has worked out particularly well; ran creditably when favourite at Newbury (2m, good to soft) latest; may be capable of better still; strong contender. |

Competitive off this sort of mark over hurdles and seems to go well after a break; however, lacks chasing experience and probably wants further than this trip. |

Unseated rider at the start at Chepstow two starts ago but she's run some good races this season, winning at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) in December and fourth of 15 at Windsor (3m, soft) in January; wears first-time cheekpieces and might not be far away. |

Scored at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) in December and made the frame in good-quality contests at Cheltenham (3m, good) and Windsor (soft) last month; blotted her copybook when unseating rider at the start at Chepstow recently but still commands respect. |

Below par when returning to hurdling at Southwell (2m4f, good) in March; has dropped 2lb since finishing fourth at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) on his most recent chase start and has claims if able to reproduce the form of that or his Bangor success (2m4f, soft) last November; acts on a sound surface. |

Came good over hurdles at 11th attempt with ready success at Newton Abbot (2m6f, good) in April; cheekpieces worn on last three starts are absent and yard yet to get off the mark this term; will need to be ready to roll on this chasing debut conceding weight all round. |

Has patchy profile but he's feasibly treated on best form and was disputing second when he fell at the last at Taunton (2m, soft) in final run last season; returns after almost a year off but conditions are no problem and he needs a close look on first run for Olly Murphy. |

Needs to up his game after two below-par recent runs (2m/2m3f) but his second to a next-time-out winner at Taunton (2m2f, heavy) in early February was a good effort and this step up in trip is an interesting move. |

Absent since pulled up in March 2022; it remains to be seen how much ability he retains but he's well treated on his 2021-22 hurdle form and his trainer's horses often go well fresh; interesting to see how he goes in the betting in first-time cheekpieces on his chase debut. |
