5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Stays this far when all's well with him, but his jumping didn't pass muster on December's chasing debut; hopes rest with the wind procedure received since stopping quickly here latest and/or the cheekpieces. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 150y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Did well as a novice hurdler, winning a 3m1f maiden at Hereford; jumping failed to stand the test at Sandown on his chase debut and now tackling his first handicap over hurdles; could go well. |

28th Mar 2025 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won British maiden point by 7l on debut in April 2023; absent until second this season in maiden hurdles here (near 2m4f) and at Ascot (extended 2m5f) before easily going one better when 8-13 at Hereford (3m2f); last two of those (his best form) were on good to soft, unraced on good; perhaps more of a staying prospect but he's promising. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Evidently well suited by the new trip when scoring at Taunton (3m4f, good) last month, and is now 2-4 over fences; open to further improvement if not inconvenienced by this switch to a left-handed track; respected. |

9th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 85y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Made a winning chase debut at this track (2m7f, good to firm) in November off 1lb lower mark; put a poor run behind him when third of six back here (2m7f, good) last month and must come into consideration if he adapts to the step up in distance. |

3rd 2 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Point/hurdles scorer who jumped well when making a winning start in this sphere over C&D in November but he's been off since coming in a remote fourth of six in 3m Exeter handicap 74 days ago; possibly worth another chance after a break. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Record of 1-9 over hurdles but he found more improvement with a near-miss in a Hereford handicap (3m2f, good) last month; nudged up 2lb but he's building up a solid profile in staying handicaps and is a key player. |
5/2 |

2nd 1 |
18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
No match for an in-form winner last time at Sedgefield (3m3f, soft; second run in cheekpieces) but he's consistent and won't mind this drier surface; considered for his in-form stable. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 2 |
19th Feb 2026 3m 3f 9y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
British point winner in 2023 (2m5f, good); won Fontwell maiden hurdle last March (2m3f, good); fair form in handicaps this term, last time finishing third at Warwick (3m1f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces, second has won since); cheekpieces retained and a contender, although unproven on soft ground. |

11th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Seven-race maiden who has inconsistent form but may show improvement for this switch to fences and return to Hereford; has recorded his best hurdles RPRs at this venue. |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Lightly raced 7yo; tailed off on handicap/seasonal debut (2m7f, soft) but, although he clearly needs a good deal better still, his sixth of 11 at Hereford (3m2f, soft; 7-1) six weeks ago was more like it. |

20th Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Emerged in a well-beaten third of 12 when 50-1 for debut at Leicester (2m4f) in November, which is his best form after he pulled up at Uttoxeter (3m) and went down by 23l at Hereford (3m2f); those three maidens were on good to soft; needs marked improvement on this handicap debut in first headgear. |

31st Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
50-1 for debut at Leicester (2m4f, good to soft) six weeks ago, where he struggled to get seriously competitive but eventually battled on to take a modest third; needs to take a big step forward here but the move up in trip looks the right move. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Won a Fontwell handicap (3m, good) for Ryan Potter last May but she's been disappointing since including in two runs for new yard this spring; mark continues to fall but she was pulled up at Taunton last time and has a lot to prove; hood is added and tongue-tie is removed. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
2lb lower than for Ffos Las win (3m, good) for Ryan Potter last May; soft ground might be blamed for two heavy defeats late last year and perhaps she needed the race when unable to justify market prominence on recent stable debut behind two of these over C&D last month; wore cheekpieces last time and also tongue tied today; interesting to see if her backers return. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Low-mileage 8yo who opened his account in Chepstow event (2m7f, good to soft) then finished midfield, not disgraced, over C&D (good) later in April; reasonably solid in current form. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Beat well-handicapped, odds-on favourite when staying on well to open account at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) 19 days ago, his eighth start over hurdles; 6lb higher here but may yet have more to offer. |
4/1 |

1st 7 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
0-7 over hurdles; not disgraced when sixth of 17 at Exeter (2m7f, good to soft) last month and remains unexposed over this sort of trip but others have more pressing claims. |
