18th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
Progressive novice who made it 3-5 over hurdles when winning the competitive Morebattle Hurdle on handicap debut at Kelso (2m, good to soft) in February; has also shown promise on soft ground; this 6yo may well continue on an upward curve and he's a strong contender up 6lb. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Two wins (2m/1m7f, good to soft/good) from his first three hurdle starts and he was bang there when falling three out in a novice at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) four weeks ago; this unexposed 6yo may well have more to offer and could have a part to play on his handicap debut. |
12/1 |

1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Solid record (bumpers/hurdles) reads 21121, all wins on good/good to soft, latest at Haydock (1m7f) where he was in a share of the lead when left clear at the final flight; the ratings suggest he's set for another top-two finish. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Fair bumper performer who has matched that form in this sphere, still not foot perfect when a good second of five in 2m Fakenham novice last month; this return to further should suit so he's very much one to consider, especially if hurdling better. |
20/1 |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has been let down by his jumping on his last two starts, latest on handicap debut when 13th of 15 at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) last month; can do better once his jumping technique improves. |
13/2 |
|
13th 10 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 179y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
He's not obviously well treated off his opening mark but this 5yo has been consistent across his six starts (all at 2m) and his pedigree provides optimism that he'll improve for the step up in trip; possible player. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Ran quite well at Ascot in November but the wide-margin Kempton win in February (2m5f, good to soft) is his standout piece of form; ran poorly in a Grade 2 over 3m last time but that couldn't have been his true running. |
5/4 |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Left previous form behind to win easily for top yard in a novice hurdle at Kempton (2m5f, good to soft) 12 days ago, and there's every chance this 3m point runner-up will be fine now back up in trip; unraced on soft/heavy ground and he jumped to the right last time so reverting to a left-handed track may be a negative, but he's entitled to respect after last time. |
9/2 |

1st 15 |
2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Came up well short in Cheltenham Grade 2 last time but currently holds an Albert Bartlett entry and may yet prove useful; earlier form (point/bumper/hurdle) reads very well, based on the subsequent performances of the winners; respected back down in class. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Runner-up twice for Dan Skelton in the winter (2m3f/3m1f) but left that stable after a disappointing run in March and was pulled up after performing poorly for new yard three weeks ago (2m3f); back up in trip with cheekpieces refitted. |

11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |

Placed in 2m3f/3m1f handicaps but left Dan Skelton for £4,500 and as a nine-race maiden; likely best watched. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 137y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
4l runner-up on handicap debut at Warwick (2m3f, good to soft) on New Year's Eve and similar outcome in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) last month; this unexposed 6yo could continue to progress for his top stable and he's a possible player. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Showed some promise in an Irish point (3m, heavy) and a Worcester bumper (2m, good); rather disappointing over hurrdles including in handicaps on last two runs, but on a good mark now and an interesting contender in a fairly weak event. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 50y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Well beaten on heavy ground two starts ago but his other two qualifying runs were quite encouraging, the latter a well-held third at Southwell (2m, good to soft) last month; up in trip for handicap debut and should have some improvement to come. |
8/1 |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Best hurdles run when 17l fourth of seven at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) on debut in November; chance on that form but needs to bounce back from a lesser run on heavy ground at Exeter last time. |
