17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Two-time novice hurdle winner who ran well in defeat this term on two of his first three chase starts (1m7f/2m, soft/good) and is on a handy mark on that form; he's struggled on his last two runs and has something to prove but perhaps the wind op and first-time cheekpieces will make a difference. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 1 |
10st 7lb |
Has two pieces of encouraging form since switched to fences, including a Newbury effort (2m) that suggests he should be suited by 2m4f; disappointing favourite (looked beaten when falling) at Wetherby last time but it's difficult to write off this low-mileage 8yo, who represents last year's winning stable. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Low mileage on the clock for this two-time heavy-ground hurdle winner who is improving; close third on his chase debut here (1m7f, soft); still in it at Aintree next time (2m4f, soft) when a mistake two out cost him; career-best effort latest at Newbury (2m; good); big player back up in trip. |

Built upon the promise of his hurdle debut third at Bangor (2m, soft) in October when going close there (2m, soft) last month; strong claims. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Opening mark looked harsh but she's tumbled down the weights; hasn't been able to capitalise on that, however, and was tailed off on her chase debut at Wetherby (about 2m3f, soft) in December; drop in trip and return to hurdles might help but she's risky. |

22nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Third of six in Grade 3 for 3yo fillies in France in May 2024; however, unable to tap into that promise in Britain subsequently and now 0-12; makes handicap debut and others have more compelling claims. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Made the frame in a Grade 3 fillies' hurdle in France last spring (2m1f, very soft) but last season's British form was underwhelming (albeit she was placed twice), and she suffered a heavy defeat in February on latest outing; not an easy one to predict here. |

21st Jan 2025 Heavy 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Fair third on debut in Bangor bumper (2m, soft) last April and won at Worcester (2m, good) in September, making the running and rallying after being headed; the strength of that winning form is questionable but he brings potential to this hurdle debut and is not ruled out. |

16th Sep 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Out of a 7f Flat winner who has produced two bumper winners; raced a bit too freely but still made promising debut when third of 12 at Bangor (soft) in April; contender if suited by the quicker ground. |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Showed promise in his second hurdle start, at Sandown last February, but he's been pulled up in both handicap chases (2m4f and 3m) this winter; shaky claims for now. |

3rd Mar 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Thrice-raced 6yo; showed improvement (fourth over 2m) at Sandown most recently and is bred to do better still, being the first foal of a multiple winner for his connections; interesting. |

13th Feb 2025 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
His dam was useful and it's very early days, but he was soundly beaten in his sole bumper (good to soft) and it was the same story on last month's hurdle debut at Leicester (1m7f, heavy); lots of improvement needed. |

Unseated rider mid-race when well backed for Fontwell handicap six weeks ago and now 0-7 over hurdles; not one to give up on just yet but moves up in grade today and others in this line-up may have more potential. |

0-6 over hurdles but was a beaten favourite on his last three starts in March/April; below form on the Flat in three runs since but not one to give up on just yet; goes without headgear worn on last hurdles start and last two Flat runs. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
9yo who is exposed over hurdles but she scored over C&D (soft/good to soft) in two of her last three starts; 3lb higher than for her last win two weeks ago but she remains feasibly treated and should get a decent tow into this race; shortlisted. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Drew clear to win by over 9l over C&D (soft) in February, opening her hurdling account at the 16th attempt; not sure to be ideally suited by today's forecast quicker ground but her 5lb higher mark ought to be manageable, and she certainly didn't run badly on heavy going at Ffos Las this month. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Pulled up in series final at Carlisle (2m, good to soft) three weeks ago; however, he's won twice this season (2m4f/2m5f, soft), the latest two starts ago; won on good ground last term and there can be hope that he's still okay at this sort of trip; in the mix if swiftly bouncing back. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 207y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Consistent 7yo and the horse he beat at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft; won on good) arrived there at the top of his game; may appreciate further these days but enters the equation; raised only 3lb. |

Ex-Greenall/Guerriero; 2m4f winner at Ayr in November (soft) and two fair runs since; back on a decent mark; could go well. |
