25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 179y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won 4yo hurdle at Hereford (2m, soft) last February on second start and he's been runner-up in both handicaps, most recently over C&D (soft) last month; that latest form reads well and he's a strong contender up 3lb. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 179y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Hereford winner (soft) who very nearly made a successful handicap debut at Exeter (2m, good to soft); only 1lb higher and could benefit from this longer trip. |

18th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Built upon encouraging debut when winning five-runner junior hurdle at Hereford (2m, soft) in February; not seen again since but runs without a penalty here and ought to make his presence felt. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 81y |
11st 4lb |
British challenger is 2-2 since tackling handicaps; won a three runner race at Doncaster (16.5f, gd-sft) off 106 then won in emphatic style at Wincanton upped to 2m4f (gd-sft) off 2lb higher; hiked up 10lb and moves up in grade but could be more to come; cheekpieces go on. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 179y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Built upon the promise shown in junior hurdles last year (including on soft ground) when winning on handicap/seasonal debut at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) in December; had just two rivals to beat on that occasion but the form still looks solid and he's open to further improvement for top yard. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
10st 8lb |
Won twice at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in the winter and has had excuses since, making late headway after a slow start when eighth of 21 at Aintree four weeks ago; probably in much better heart than recent form-figures suggest, and he's an interesting each-way proposition. |
25/1 |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 103y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Two 1m7f Musselburgh wins this winter; bounced back from a poor run in the Imperial Cup when fifth of 14 back at Musselburgh three weeks ago but that effort suggests the handicapper is winning the argument for now. |
28/1 |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Pulled up in the Imperial Cup at Sandown (2m, soft) only 13 days ago but he went there on a hat-trick following two wins here (1m7f, good to soft) in January; this unexposed 5yo could bounce back and play a leading role now back here and returned to better ground. |

4th Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Probably fortunate when narrowly beating Uhtred Ragnarson in small-field junior hurdle at Chepstow (2m, good; leader unseated between last two flights) in April and made low-key seasonal/handicap debut last month; still has very low mileage but needs improvement here. |

23rd Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Half-sister to connections' very useful chaser Pink Legend; 5-4 favourite for debut at Ludlow in December but did not look straightforward and was struggling to keep up from a fairly early stage; presumably thought capable of much better but some of today's rivals look much less risky. |

18th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |

Half-sister to smart winners Pink Legend (useful 2m-3m hurdle/chase), Eleanor Bob (2m2f-3m hurdle/chase) and Pink Tara (2m4f hurdle); dam 6f 2yo winner/placed 2m hurdles; interesting newcomer from a strong yard. |
