9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won three times over hurdles and got off the mark in this sphere in a match at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) four weeks ago; up 4lb and difficult to evaluate but on an upward curve and one to be interested in. |

Three-time hurdle winner (2m-2m5f; all on right-handed tracks); respectable efforts in both runs over fences, last time runner-up at Wincanton; won't mind returning to further or getting back on softer ground. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Both wins over hurdles have been over C&D, the latest in September off 6lb lower; will have benefited from his recent pipe-opener when fourth at Market Rasen (2m,good) and should run well. |

Dual winner on good ground at Uttoxeter last summer; still in good form when last seen in the autumn and probably still on a workable mark but has fitness to prove after four months off and recent rain reduces his appeal. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Has slipped to his last winning mark but he's proving difficult to win with and was well held at Wincanton in April last time; cheekpieces return and, while he copes with most ground, he's likely to be playing for minor honours at best. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |

Has slipped to a good mark but didn't really find any improvement (based on early-season form) for this new headgear combination when a wilting fourth here last month; needs to find extra. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Needs to rebound quickly from heavy defeat here (2m5f, heavy) a fortnight ago but made the frame over C&D (good to soft/soft) on consecutive outings beforehand and has slipped to a good mark; player if back on song in first-time blinkers. |

Veteran mare; yet to hit top gear this season and fell when last in action but will be suited by today's trip/track/ground and has slipped to a good mark; can't be ruled out. |

Now 12 but she won off this mark at Taunton (2m3f, soft) last March and shaped when fifth of 16 there (2m3f, good to soft) last month as though she may benefit from this step back up in trip; each-way contender. |

Pulled up when making chase debut on heavy ground but runner-up twice on good ground since, latterly at Fontwell (2m3f) last month; gets another chance off the same mark here; obvious contender. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |

Had heavy ground as an excuse when pulled up on chase debut in February after nine months off and fared a lot better back on a sounder surface when second of six at Ludlow (2m4f, good) 25 days ago; her jumping was a bit iffy but is entitled to get better with experience; enters calculations. |

Competitive over hurdles last spring and heavy ground was a feasible excuse when pulled up on chase debut at Leicester in February after 281 days off (had lost position when sprawling at the 11th); can be given another chance. |

Landed a 'hands and heels' event over C&D in March and respectable efforts in two subsequent starts, latterly when second off this mark at Exeter (about 2m2f, also good; Green Sky tailed off) on Friday; on the premises again if this doesn't come too soon. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Bang there in 2m3f/2m6f handicaps (good) in March and feasible excuses since then, as he was pressured up front two runs back and perhaps failed to stay 3m last time; now 0-23 under rules but one to bear in mind. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |

Now 0-20 over hurdles but was bang there in 2m3f/2m6f handicaps (good) in March and when beaten nearly 20l the last time he got pressured up front; unlikely to be far away. |

0-19 over hurdles, which could be the bottom line, but he's been placed on four of his six starts this season, on last two occasions finishing runner-up on good ground over C&D and Stratford's 2m6f; wore cheekpieces on last three starts; looks set to be seriously involved again. |

Made a winning handicap debut at Taunton (about 2m3f, soft) 13 months ago but the wheels have come off on a variety of ground since, pulled up in four of those five starts and tailed off in the other; blinkers (one sibling wore them for her two wins) are now given a go, replacing recent cheekpieces. |

Soundly beaten on all four starts but he was returning from a long absence when mid-division on last month's handicap debut at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft); he's in good hands and there's potential in his pedigree, and he could show the benefit of that latest outing with a big run today. |
