20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Bumper winner who got off the mark in this sphere on his handicap debut at Plumpton (2m, good) last month; scrambled home that day but is lightly raced and may show further improvement off 5lb higher. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won Southwell bumper in February 2025; bled from the nose at Lingfield in January but has been ready to run since February and an earlier run, a promising runner-up to a useful one at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft) in November, suggests he will be competitive on handicap debut. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper winner who completed a 2m4f double over hurdles in November for a good start to his handicap career; not in same form in two completed starts since; chance of revival largely hinges on the switch to fences. |
7/2 |
|
6th 4 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Back-to-back wins at this sort of trip in November on good to soft; fell early when favourite next time and it was his first run on soft when tailed off at Huntingdon; on this ground and with cheekpieces added, he's one to consider. |
7/1 |

9th 4 |
22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 145y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won over about 2m4f on good to soft at Market Rasen and Southwell (by a neck) in his first two handicaps; went up 4lb for the latest but was favourite at Haydock last month and fell midrace; unraced on soft ground but respected. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Point/bumper winner; the form of his novice win at Catterick has worked out well (2m3f, good) and he wasn't beaten far on his handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) despite a late mistake; how significant it is that Harry Atkins (aboard for both those runs; can do this weight) switches to Knickerbockerglory remains to be seen; respected nevertheless. |
11/4 |

2nd 4 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Point/bumper winner; beat an in-form rival with the pair clear in a 2m3f good-ground novice at Catterick (under Harry Atkins) and might be on a reasonable mark for this first handicap; softer ground won't hinder him. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Novice hurdler who was let down by his jumping and eventually fell in the Imperial Cup when dropped back to 2m at Sandown most recently; has a solid record otherwise and some strong 2m4f form behind very notable rivals; may resume improvement, provided errors are avoided. |
14/1 |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Front-runner; won at Uttoxeter (2m/2m4f, good/good to soft) in October on first two hurdle starts before third of five in Grade 2 here (2m4f, soft); again ran well when runner-up on handicap debut at Windsor (2m4f, soft) in January, when clear with Scorpio Rising who is declared for the EBF Final at 1:50, and this unexposed 6yo may benefit from the return to 2m; big player. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
18th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Won two minor races at Uttoxeter before a credible third to top novice No Drama This End in a Grade 2 at Sandown (2m4f, soft); racing keenly up front ultimately told late on but he remains open to significant improvement and this mark might not be beyond him. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Lightly raced 7yo who wasn't discredited when third of seven in 2m novice here two weeks ago; goes handicapping now with this return to further a plus; not out of things. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 1 |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Made a promising debut in this sphere when second here (2m7f, good) in March 2025; beaten 25l when seventh of nine on his first run since back here (2m4f, soft) in March; step down in trip not certain to suit. |
8/1 |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Absent since his solid second, in a race that's worked out well, at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) last March on hurdles debut; the main question is whether he can repeat the form belated on reappearance; market may offer further guidance. |

1st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Has run in two bumpers and six hurdle races, easily his closest finishes coming in handicaps on last two occasions when fourth of 11 at this track (2m3f, soft) and second of nine at Wetherby (3m1f, soft; visored); stuck to his task very well last time and looks a leading player. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
0-5 over hurdles; still early days in handicaps and improved when 8l fourth at Huntingdon (2m3f, good to soft) last month; step up in trip looks positive and he may be able to do better still; visor goes on. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Beaten about 17l in both his bumpers and 22l in both his runs over hurdles; handicaps will be more like it. |

11th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 145y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Failed to build on earlier promise when only seventh at Chepstow (3m) on his first go in handicaps last month; he may still do better though with very few miles on the clock. |
33/1 |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Well beaten on first two hurdling starts but his keeping-on fifth in first-time cheekpieces at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) last month was more encouraging and further progress is possible in handicaps. |
16/1 |
|
5th 5 |
15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Pick of his two bumper runs clearly a 14l fifth of 12 behind No Drama This End on debut, but he's failed to progress since and has been well beaten on both runs over hurdles (2m4f/2m5f) this season; cheekpieces need to bring a major step forward. |
