17th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Irish point winner who made steady progress in his qualifying races over hurdles last season; placed in Sedgefield maiden (2m4f, good) last month and should have further improvement to come in handicaps. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
A fair 1m2f Flat winner in Spain who was much improved for her current yard when runner-up in 2m4f Bangor handicap hurdle 47 days ago; up 2lb but big shout with that form working out very well. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
17th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Five Flat wins in France; showed very little over hurdles in Britain last season, including when dropped back to 2m for last month's handicap debut, but Dan Skelton is persisting with her and she can't be written off just yet. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |

Only 1-38 but was second at Southwell last time and should encounter a similar scenario here; likely to run well. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Returned from break with low-key chase run last month and fell mid-race when back over hurdles nine days ago but remains on a good mark and will be suited by today's trip/ground; can't be ruled out. |
8/1 |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Safely held when fourth over fences at Fontwell (2m2f, good) this month but that was his first run since November (also his first after a wind op); reverts to hurdling on mark just 2lb higher then when winning this race by 14l on good ground a year ago; must be considered. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Runner-up here (2m4f, good) on chasing debut in September and also placed at Market Rasen (2m3f, good) the following month; dropped out tamely after making a lot of the running at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good) last month, after a break, but may have needed that run and will presumably be ridden positively again over this shorter trip; interesting. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Got off the mark over hurdles at Bangor (2m4f) in September; placed twice when sent chasing after but only sixth in 2m handicap at Musselburgh when last seen in November; could bounce back after a break though. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
0-8 over hurdles but was in contention when stumbling/falling just after two out at Bangor (2m3f, good) in April, and returned from a break with a fairly encouraging run three weeks ago; can go well off current mark if that recent outing brought him on. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
0-8 but was in contention when stumbling/falling just after two out at Bangor (2m3f, good) in April and he ran well prior to fading late on there (2m3f, good) in May when last seen; not ruled out now back down in trip. |

17th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |

Beaten about 25l in first two handicaps but seemed to be moving into contention before stumbling and falling just after penultimate flight over C&D (good) last month; must be considered after that improvement. |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
18-race maiden with a Flat background; the odd piece of form is worth noting and she has never been lower in the weights, but she's suffered four non-completions on the bounce (fell midrace on chase debut latest); a bit risky in the new hood (replacing tongue-tie). |
25/1 |

18th Feb 2026 1m 7f 212y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Well in on some of her hurdle form but she's a 17-race maiden with a Flat background, so hard to know what she'll make of fences. |

Has no obvious form claims, including in three handicaps; first-time cheekpieces; 2lb out of the weights. |

17th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Showed no significant promise when a big-priced outsider in four maiden/novice hurdles (2m3f-2m5f); makes handicap debut from a lowly mark but still needs significant improvement. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
1-39 over hurdles, the win gained here (2m, good) last May; inconsistent and although he stays 2m4f and latest start was one of his better days, today's position 7lb out of the handicap makes things tough. |
25/1 |

4th 10 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
1-38 over hurdles, the win gained at Hexham (2m, good) last May; his good days have become infrequent, though, and he's 3lb out of the weights today; not the percentage call. |
25/1 |

5th 7 |
20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Runner-up at Sedgefield in November and not disgraced on penultimate start, but those are the only bright spots in his last nine races; reverts from chasing (last five starts); overall he's won just one (a hurdle race last May) of 47 and today he is 3lb out of the handicap. |

6th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Low-grade Flat winner last summer; 0-6 over hurdles when trained by Tjade Collier and makes stable debut from 3lb out of the weights; needs to have benefited significantly from a change of scenery. |

17th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Kept on for respectable third at Huntingdon (2m3f, good to soft) on handicap hurdle debut in February but well beaten twice since (Flat/hurdles) and not the most obvious answer here. |
