8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Returned to form with creditable second at Southwell (2m4f) last time but looks unlikely to go one better; the 10yo faces a difficult task against several younger rivals who are open to further improvement. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |

All wins have been on good ground, latest at Worcester in May (2m7f); below-par two runs since and bit to prove at present. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 3m 1f 5y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Burst back to life with 15l win at Worcester (2m7f, good) in May; absent since and up 11lb, which puts him on clear career-high mark at the age of nine; also has a slight query on this forecast soft ground but Harry Skelton retains the ride; should be in the mix if ready to go. |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won a maiden hurdle on stable debut at Warwick (2m5f, good) in October and bounced back from a flop over fences when third of five in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) in January, when jumping to the right; the return to a right-handed track is a likely plus and she's high on the list. |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |

Showed zero enthusiasm for fences in two attempts, pulling up at Uttoxeter last month, but she might well recover quickly now back hurdling, as in a similar situation in the past; stays 3m2f on soft and has a good run in her off current mark; cheekpieces refitted. |

25th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Kept on for respectable third at Worcester (2m7f, good; no threat to easy winner) 12 days ago and will be suited by today's longer trip but often looks unenthusiastic, and it's hard to predict the extent to which he'll warm to the task today; cheekpieces refitted. |

This time last year he posted back-to-back seconds over 3m2f on good ground at Fontwell and Warwick; well handicapped on that form but he hasn't been running well of late. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Won from well out of the weights at Ludlow and off only 3lb higher he followed up at the expense of three rivals (3m, good), taking his record there to 3-5; has another 6lb rise to contend with but has won here and has to be taken seriously. |

Veteran who bounced back with 33-1 success from well out of the weights over C&D (good) most recently, taking Ludlow record to 2-4; just no certainty to follow up, having been inconsistent for a while. |

Runner-up on handicap debut at Leicester (2m4f, heavy) in January and has won her next two (2m3f/2m4f, good to soft), all under Lewis Saunders; carries a 7lb penalty for last Monday's win at Southwell and this progressive 5yo could be tough to beat. |

Hurdles record of 5-32 includes wins over 3m on good ground at Wetherby in October and Haydock latest start; holding his form well and is better than ever; may remain competitive. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 3m 1f 5y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Running well at present and he followed a Wetherby win (3m) in October with a solid third at Bangor (2m7f, also good), despite giving Joe Anderson a workout, 12 days later; has form on soft and is one to consider. |
