20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
C&D win in late 2024 (heavy) initiated a double; today's the first time since that he's returned below the mark of the second leg; have to hope confidence hasn't been sapped entirely by this term's heavy defeats. |

27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 3 |

Three-time hurdle winner last season, most recently off mark 1lb lower than today's in this race (heavy); chasing has not gone to plan this term (three attempts) but he might fare better now back over hurdles. |

Appears to act on any ground; ran creditably in the Lanzarote at Kempton (2m5f) four weeks ago when bidding for a hat-trick; seems versatile and scored easily over 2m at Doncaster on reappearance; may still have more to offer and remains of interest. |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Triple hurdle winner at 2m on testing ground but effective over this far; didn't take to chasing in the autumn (two attempts) but he's shown promise since returned to hurdling, including when third at Chepstow (2m, soft) last month; continues to edge down the weights and has possibilities back up in trip and down in grade. |
11/4 |

3rd 6 |
21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Dual C&D winner in 2024 (soft/heavy); didn't take to chasing in the autumn (two attempts) and his two subsequent hurdle runs (2m4f/2m3f) were no better than respectable; back in trip today; needs to raise his game. |
8/1 |

4th 6 |
27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Didn't really take to chasing on first two starts this season but kept on for respectable fifth when back over hurdles at Newbury (2m4f, good) last month, and this dual course winner ought to be better suited by today's slower ground. |

On a long losing run but she wasn't discredited on the back of wind surgery when fourth of six in 2m3f Warwick handicap 60 days ago; possibilities off a falling mark. |

Runner-up at Ludlow last February and now 8lb lower; however, this 10yo has struggled to get competitive since; has had wind surgery since last time, which needs to make a big difference. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
0-13 over hurdles but was very respectable second when upped to 3m at Ffos Las (heavy) a fortnight ago and might still have a bigger run in him over this sort of trip if the ground is slightly better. |
10/1 |

2nd 4 |
30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Four thirds are the best he's managed from a bumper and 12 hurdle races, including off this mark when five ran over an extended 2m4f at Leicester (heavy) last time; that's the furthest he's been and he may well need a career best to win this; ridden this season by Eleanor Williams. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won three races in 2024; inconsistent since but ran well when second at Kempton (2m5f, good) on Boxing Day; two poor runs since but has undergone wind surgery and a first-time tongue-tie replaces cheekpieces; interesting if the market speaks favourably. |
11/1 |

15th 4 |
27th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 56y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Soft ground provides an excuse for two defeats of late; sole attempt in cheekpieces resulted in good second at Kempton (2m5f) on penultimate start; could go well in the reapplied headgear. |
12/1 |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 179y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Surprising to see the cheekpieces left off as they were on for the first time when pushing an improver close at Kempton (2m5f, good; all wins on good to soft); he was 12l clear of the third so a 4lb rise could have been worse; respected. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 50y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Over two years since he won a race but latest third at Uttoxeter (2m4f) looks all the better now with the winner Wellington Arch going in again last week at Aintree; this 8yo might have a preference for slightly slower ground but he's respected. |
13/2 |

3rd 8 |
14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |

Fourth in this race last year off 4lb lower, he has been placed on his last two starts and the drop back in trip and better ground should see him go close. |
8/1 |

3rd 6 |
7th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Stamina has not been proved after two attempts at 2m7f, albeit latterly when a mid-race faller on chase debut in December; good second of 17 back over hurdles at Haydock (2m5f, good to soft; acts on heavy) three weeks ago under Freddie Keighley and there is some stamina in the family. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
Last season started well but petered out and it might be happening again, as although it wasn't a bad run behind Cheltenham Festival heroine White Noise two starts back, Chepstow last time was underwhelming (well behind Siog Geal; soft ground no excuse). |
20/1 |

7th 3 |
15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Narrowly made a successful reappearance at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) off 5lb lower; worrying that last season petered out after starting well, though it was by no means a bad run at Newbury when 11l behind White Noise who won the Dawn Run at Cheltenham on Thursday; goes well fresh. |

Won a maiden hurdle on last season's return before delivering her best form yet when second in Newbury Listed race (2m, good to soft); her three runs after the turn of the year were disappointing, leaving her with a point to prove now. |

Won over hurdles for Olly Murphy in 2023; made encouraging chasing debut in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when second to Jubilant at Southwell (3m3f, good) in May and there should be little between the pair here. |

Hurdle winner for Olly Murphy in 2023; well beaten on consecutive starts for Harriet Dickin at start of this year and made low-key stable debut last month but sports first-time cheekpieces for this chasing debut and may yet come good for Dan Skelton. |

French hurdle winner in spring 2024; untidy round of jumping when fourth of six on chasing debut at Wetherby (1m7f, soft) in November and unseated four out at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) last month; needs to polish up his jumping. |
