3rd 10 |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
5-14 strike-rate and steadily progressive form, gaining his latest success over this C&D (good ground; three of today's rivals behind) in convincing fashion; a 6lb rise does not look harsh, and with further improvement on the cards he has solid claims. |
7/1 |

1st 5 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 144y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
6yo who has shown improved form this season, winning at Ascot (1m7f, soft) in December then runner-up at Sandown (2m, good); well-beaten fifth in the gruelling William Hill Hurdle at Newbury (2m, heavy) in February; has had a break since and could play a leading role if back to his best. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Just held on from strong-finishing All In You at Ascot (1m7f, soft) and was unable to confirm the placings, albeit far from discredited, at Sandown (2m, good); that rival has the upper hand with further progress plausible; however, this consistent sort should go well. |

3rd 1 |
16th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Largely consistent 7yo who gave it a good shot from the front when third in competitive Sandown handicap (2m4f, good) last month; eased in grade here and will be fine over the shorter trip; major contender. |
9/4 |
|
3rd 9 |
25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 178y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Largely consistent 7yo who recovered from a jumping error at third-last flight to take fourth in Sussex Champion Hurdle at Plumpton (2m, good) there weeks ago; also suited by 2m4f and this track; considered each-way. |
12/1 |
|
4th 8 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Has won at this trip but last four runs have been over further and he hasn't kicked on from his Musselburgh win in January (2m4f, good to soft; 3lb lower); probably has little margin for error mark-wise and unlikely the same is true about some of his rivals. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Has been disappointing of late and can compromise her chances by over-racing, but would have strong claims if back to the form of her Newbury effort (2m, good to soft) in December, namely second to Cheltenham Festival winner White Noise; worth a second look with promising claimer Daire McConville back in the saddle. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Hard-pulling tendencies proved more deleterious to her chances than usual at Kempton latest (2m, good to soft); consistency prior to that has kept her around a stone above her sole winning mark (2m, good), and although she's more reliable than most here, she's vulnerable to improvers. |
7/2 |
|
6th 10 |
2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Record of only 1-11 over hurdles but she is proving a consistent mare, having been placed in all four outings since the win; ran creditably at Newbury most recently and again seems likely to give her running. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Bath/fast ground specialist who wasn't too far away from landing a fifth win at that track when runner-up (1m2f) last Wednesday on his return from a break; effective elsewhere too and should go well. |
7/2 |

2nd 3 (6) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Four-time C&D winner who returns here off a workable mark; on the downside, he's been absent for four months and doesn't have a convincing record when fresh. |
