10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Low-mileage 5yo who has form figures of 11112, all at about 2m, since racing on good ground; ran well in a Kempton handicap at Christmas when last seen; improving but goes into unknown territory trip-wise and his chance also perhaps partly depends on the weather. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
10st 3lb |
Has proved a model of consistency in the last 12 months and he rallied for fourth behind Dance And Glance over C&D last time; however, that run underlined that the handicapper appears to have his measure for now; needs to be boosted by the fitting of cheekpieces. |
20/1 |

4th 9 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 144y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
He needs to find something extra on his last three performances but this novice hurdle winner (good to soft) is now 2lb lower than when third of 15 on handicap debut at Cheltenham (2m, soft) in November, and perhaps he'll be aided by the first-time tongue-tie. |
14/1 |

3rd 8 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Holding his form pretty well, creditable third of ten at Kempton (2m, good to soft) four weeks ago, but he will need something extra off just 1lb lower and has stamina to prove over this much longer trip. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Nine-race maiden who has been inconsistent over hurdles but he was a close second in a Huntingdon handicap (2m, good; tongue-tie added) on his penultimate run; on same mark here and has possibilities if he can recapture that form on this switch to fences. |
3/1 |
|
7th 2 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Initially failed to show any immediate benefit from wind surgery in three subsequent runs (2m to extended 2m4f) but latest effort, fitted with a tongue-tie and going close at Huntingdon (2m, good) last month, was a marked step forward; it will be interesting to see if he can build on that and 3lb claimer is booked. |
9/2 |

2nd 1 |
11th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Expensive to follow in maiden company, including twice at short prices over C&D last year; poor in two starts over further since undergoing wind surgery (reported to have stopped quickly last time) and the first-time tongue-tie will need to help. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Has a tendency to race too freely and is usually held up at the back; struggled to get competitive at Chepstow in February and now 0-6 over hurdles but interesting if judged on some of his form towards the end of last year; not out of this if first-time cheekpieces have positive effect. |
14/1 |
|
8th 9 |
21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
10st 3lb |
0-5 over hurdles and his tendency to race too freely remains a nagging concern but his fourth of 15 on handicap debut at Cheltenham (2m, soft) in November was a good effort, and he caught the eye making a big forward move from the rear before his effort petered out at Doncaster (2m, good) in December; hood removed; tongue-tie added; shortlisted. |
8/1 |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 33y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
First-flight unseat on hurdle debut but showed ability in bumpers and did likewise when fourth of nine at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in May on his second hurdle start; probably needs a bigger run today but not ruled out. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Point winner who had her consistency rewarded with a 2.25l win at Newcastle (2m, good to soft) and the runner-up has since won at Haydock; a 7lb rise looks manageable. |
9/4 |

1st 6 |
14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Point winner; still seeking the breakthrough under rules (0-9), her latest Catterick effort (2m; runner-up, 8-1, with Zumbi a well-beaten fourth) as good as what she offered at Sedgefield in November; place claims yet again. |
3/1 |

2nd 7 |
24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 145y Class 5 |

Point winner who is 0-8 under rules but has run some reasonable races over fences and is edging down the weights; each-way possible. |

Hurdle winner for Dan Skelton; placed on his last two runs in hunter chases, last time finishing third at Hexham (3m, good) where Whatdeawant was 18l in front of her in second; each-way chance. |

3rd 8 |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Won mares' novice hurdle for Dan Skelton last October and ran respectably in second in a hunter chase at Carlisle (2m5f, good to soft) last month on her second start for this yard; shaped last time as though this trip may be within range and she could be involved. |

8th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 198y Class 5 |

Won mares' novice hurdle (2m3f, good) for Dan Skelton in October but didn't really fulfill her potential for that stable and struggled to get competitive (albeit in stronger race than this) on stable/hunter chase debut at Haydock three weeks ago. |

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 |

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 |

Beaten about 17l in both his bumpers and 22l in both his runs over hurdles; handicaps will be more like it. |

10st 11lb |
Showed significant improvement when fourth in Worcester maiden (2m, good) last summer but safely held in all four subsequent handicaps, the latest here (2m6f) last month; needs to turn a corner. |

28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Fourth in a maiden at Worcester last July but he's struggled in three handicaps since; Flat bred and this is a radically new trip, after all previous starts over about 2m, but he rallied well in that Worcester race; could be interesting if strong in the market. |
16/1 |

11th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Backed at prices when showing more at Worcester last summer but has struggled in two handicaps since; yard has been quiet and he's not obviously fancied back from four months off. |
