20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 93y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won over hurdles before a successful chase debut at Doncaster (2m4f, soft; by 3l); bumped into a well-treated favourite off this 5lb higher mark at Chepstow when the hood was left off (as today); should have some part to play. |

2nd 6 |
21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Pipped a next-time-out winner to score over hurdles here (2m, good to soft) just after Christmas and took another step forward when winning by 3l on chasing debut at Doncaster (2m4f, soft) 16 days ago; still unexposed over this sort of trip and makes obvious appeal. |

5th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 115y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Pipped a next-time-out winner to score over hurdles at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) just after Christmas and is now 2-7 in that sphere; open to more improvement over today's longer trip and over fences; looks interesting on chase debut. |

11st 1lb |
5yo who has got better with each of his three runs for this yard, going close at Warwick (2m, soft) most recently; also effective on good ground and he shaped last time as though today's step up in trip could be a plus. |

2nd 4 |
21st Feb 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Failed to go on for the Skeltons; his second run for this yard when third at Sandown (2m, soft; first-time hood) was a return to form, though he was held up off a fast pace set by the winner and might be flattered. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Lightly raced; tenacious winner of 2m5f chase at Newton Abbot (good) last June but soft ground may have counted against her next time and she wasn't seen after July; a long way back on her recent yard debut but there's still hope for her at this level on anything like her old form. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Scored on her second chase start at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last June for John O'Shea; absent since last July and makes stable debut; best watched unless the market speaks in her favour. |

14th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Won over hurdles at Hereford (2m, good to soft) in the autumn and battled on gamely for narrow chase success here (2m5f, good) last month; reverts to hurdling on a workable mark; cheekpieces (worn once last year) are refitted; probably won't be far away. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Two handicap hurdle wins for Daisy Hitchins last year (1m7f/2m3f, good to soft) included one off 8lb higher, and an inconsistent profile since the autumn does at least include a Tapeta Flat success and a serviceable chase debut; some positives ahead of stable debut. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Out of form in December when last seen over hurdles but looked back in good nick when winning on AW in February and is 5lb lower than when scoring over C&D (good to soft) in March 2025; interesting. |
7/1 |

6th 4 (3) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |

Steps back up in grade but looks shortlist material, having registered a C&D win under Millie Wonnacott most recently, taking well to Southwell at the first attempt and taking AW record to 2-7. |

Could improve for handicaps after showing a bit more in her latest maiden (beaten 16l) but her pedigree suggests that she'll need further than this. |

Bumper winner; took a while to get his act together over hurdles but showed good stamina to lead close home at Ludlow (2m5f, good) last month and was only beaten 1l when upped to 3m at Southwell (good) three weeks ago; ought to be in the thick of things again. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |

Bumper winner who had disappointed over hurdles until a step back up in trip brought about the necessary improvement to get off the mark in this sphere at Ludlow (2m5f, good) last month; should be suited by this further step up to 3m and is a leading player. |

Good-ground bumper winner; disappointing over hurdles, though his handicaps have been at 2m and when he tried this trip once before he was 66-1 in a maiden; could easily be a factor. |

Won handicaps at Fontwell (2m1f, good to soft) and Uttoxeter (2m, good) last autumn but he's been back in the doldrums since; now 3lb lower than for his last success but he needs a major revival. |

Won at Brighton (1m2f) on almost this day last year and has scored twice (1m2f/1m3f) on AW in 2026, including at Kempton on latest start; also effective at 1m4f and well capable of another bold show. |

Can flatter to deceive, like when trading at 11-10 in-running before giving best to Enthused at Southwell two runs ago having beaten him at Chelmsford in January; ran better than finishing position suggests latest but is two poor runs from two here. |
