23rd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Low-mileage 5yo who won a good-ground Ffos Las maiden (2m) in the autumn and has finished second in two heavy-ground handicaps this year, the latter over 2m5f here; there's a good chance this new trip-and-ground combination will also suit, so he goes on the shortlist. |

2nd 1 |
14th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 5f 82y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper winner who landed the odds in a Ffos Las maiden (2m, good) in October; runner-up in two of his three handicaps since, including at Ascot (extended 2m3f) in November and Leicester (1m7f, heavy) last month; only 1lb higher than for that last run and he's respected at this new trip. |
7/4 |

2nd 4 |
20th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won Ffos Las maiden (2m, good) in October; went close on handicap debut at Ascot (2m3f, good) in November and form of last month's Kempton fifth (2m, good) has worked out well; big player if handling today's ground (raced only on good). |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 191y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Solid start over hurdles when third at Fontwell (about 2m2f, good to soft) in November but diminishing returns were predicted by progressively bigger prices the following month; no immediate promise when beaten 21l on handicap debut at Ludlow a fortnight ago. |
25/1 |
|
6th 4 |
18th Feb 2026 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Promise in bumpers (soft/good) before encouraging third on hurdle debut at Fontwell (2m1f, good to soft) in November; two lesser runs have followed but he now goes handicapping following wind surgery and it will be no surprise if he plays a leading role for his top trainer (who saddles three). |
6/1 |
|
2nd 13 |
2nd Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Stayed on for near-7l fourth on debut at Wincanton (1m7f, soft; 11-1) in December and that form has been franked by the runner-up and the third; his best days probably lie over further but he's open to improvement for his top yard and is a key player today. |

11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Lightly raced and his third in a 1m7f maiden at Wincanton (good) was a step forward, and that form looks even stronger now; potentially on a nice mark and he's bred for this longer trip; appealing. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Made the frame in three bumpers but has yet to get anything going over hurdles; could do better in handicaps and he'll get a mark after this, but probably still has a place chance. |
4/1 |
|
5th 1 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Suffered a heavy defeat at Huntingdon on the switch to hurdles but could well rebound, having shown consistency by making the frame in three bumpers (including at Kempton) previously. |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Made a quite encouraging bumper debut in March 2025 but his second bumper run was disappointing and he was also well beaten when 33-1 for last month's hurdle debut at Hereford (2m3f, good). |
20/1 |
|
5th 3 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Promising fourth in a Doncaster (2m, good) bumper on debut in March last year; however, he failed to build on that at Southwell (2m, soft) on his return in November, failing to settle and ultimately well held; steps up in trip for this switch to hurdles after another break, with hood added. |
14/1 |
|
4th 8 |
2nd Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
47,000euros 2yo; has a useful pedigree and is half-brother to stablemate Marble Sands, a bumper and smart hurdle/chase winner; interesting contender on debut. |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Unexposed 5yo who was a promising fourth in Ludlow maiden (2m, good) in November but he was pulled up on handicap debut at Lingfield (2m3f, soft; 9-1) last month; may have had stamina issues over that trip but he needs to bounce back on this return to 2m. |
8/1 |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Displayed promise on last season's bumper debut and when fourth in two 2m hurdles in the autumn; untested on ground slower than good to soft but should have some improvement to come in handicaps and this step up in trip is likely to suit. |
5/1 |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 5 |

Yet to make the frame in five starts, although he has shown signs of ability and now makes his handicap debut; hood left off after one run; worth monitoring in the market. |
7/1 |

6th 9 |
21st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |

He's raced four times and hasn't posed a serious threat, but he kept on when seventh of 15 at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) last month and could appreciate this step up in trip; not ruled out each-way in first-time hood. |

21,000gns yearling, 25,000euros 3yo; sixth foal; brother to 1m7f/2m hurdle winner Manuelito (RPR 120), half-brother to winners Navajo Pass (1m6f/2m Flat; smart 2m-2m4f hurdle) and Navajo Indy (bumper and 1m7f/2m hurdle; 130); bred to be talented and no surprise to see a good run on debut. |

Runner-up in good-ground Hereford bumper for Tom Weston in April but his stable debut here in June was disappointing and he makes very limited appeal today. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
