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. |

11st 10lb |
7yo who made it 2-4 over fences when completing a double at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft; first run after wind surgery) last month; up 3lb for that narrow success but he beat a clear second and is open to more progress in this sphere; respected. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Bumper winner in 2024; on the up in three starts over fences and off the mark in four-runner Doncaster handicap (3m, soft; second has won since) one month ago, after which he had wind surgery; 3lb nudge should be no bother and he's a big player. |

Bumper winner in 2024; has yet to shine over fences but only had the two attempts and he was runner-up off a higher mark over hurdles; should come good in this discipline sooner or later and his yard is having winners. |

11st 11lb |
Won bumper and maiden hurdle when on good ground; scored at Ffos Las (3m1f, soft) in October and runner-up in four of his other six chases, including when mown down late on in a big field at Windsor (extended 3m4f, soft) in January; ran poorly over C&D next time and well beaten at Cheltenham Festival on latest but both those races were much warmer than this. |

7yo who has improved for the switch to fences this season, winning at Ffos Las (3m1f, soft) in October and finishing second on his three starts since, most recently behind Neo King in a big field at Windsor (extended 3m4f, soft); progressive and he could be in the mix once more up 3lb for last time. |

1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Rebounded from poor chasing debut when second to progressive rival here (2m, heavy; first-time visor) in January; could plausibly have untapped potential over this longer trip but was back in the doldrums on his latest outing and has become very hard to predict. |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |

Record of 1-11 over hurdles and his win was in April 2024; pulled up on chase debut at Market Rasen last month but he bounced back with a good second at Ffos Las (2m, heavy; first-time visor) 13 days ago; on same mark here and has claims if he can build on that. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Seemingly aided by new tongue-tie when winning twice at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft/soft) during the winter, and was not discredited when second to revitalised subsequent winner at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) last month; sometimes races a bit too freely but should be fine on this left-handed track; respected. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |

Always the risk his reluctance to settle will temper his late effort, as it did when over 1l behind A Great Excuse at Lingfield in December; 2-2 at Huntingdon since, however, deriving the benefit of the tongue tie once again when making most there latest (soft); 5lb rise appears pretty fair. |

Last year wasn't all plain sailing but he delivered on previous chasing promise when scoring over C&D (good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) just before Christmas and should be fine on the slower ground today; respected. |

Regressive 10yo who is better known as a chaser now and was just a modest third at Warwick (2m4f, good to soft) on New Year's Eve; reverts to hurdling on a tempting mark but others have more appealing profiles. |
