27th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Four-time hurdle winner who is 0-6 over fences (despite a lower mark) and was beaten a good way at Hexham (3m) on his return to this discipline after a break; the other two appeal more. |
100/30 |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Four-time hurdle winner, including over 2m on heavy ground here; decent second over fences at Sedgefield in October (3m2f, good) but last two runs have been over hurdles (took a heavy fall when running well last time); a possible. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 5y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Had a break since finishing lame when second on his return to hurdles at Newcastle in October (2m7f, good; handles softer); looks high in the weights now but he's likeably consistent. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
The four-timer came up short when a close second to Pounding Poet over 2m7f at Uttoxeter (good) but that was no backward step; a 2lb nudge does her no favours but this C&D winner is shortlisted. |
100/30 |

27th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Progressive mare who kept on resolutely to win similar race to this over C&D (good; first-time cheekpieces) last month and has now won three in a row; another 7lb higher today but still makes obvious appeal. |
4/1 |

29th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Completed a hat-trick early last season and better than ever on her latest two starts for wins at Huntingdon (3m1f, good) and Warwick (3m2f, good); up 6lb into a much more competitive race and wears first-time cheekpieces after a fairly workmanlike display from the front last time. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Hurdle winner here (2m7f, good) last August for previous yard but he's had a rocky ride for this one, including on last two chase starts (the latest following wind surgery); hard to be confident of a revival. |
12/1 |
|
9th 4 |
6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
On the same mark as when winning over hurdles (2m7f, good) last summer, ridden by James King; shaped as though the run was needed in March on return from an absence, before finishing a well-beaten second of three on chase debut the following month; has since undergone wind surgery and retains potential over fences. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
16th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Only 3lb higher than the mark he won off over hurdles (2m7f, good) last summer and he's a dual point winner who should make a chaser; below par last time but after quite a break. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
2lb lower than when runner-up on good ground at Warwick (3m2f) and Worcester (2m7f) in the summer, but not at his best since including when sixth of 11 behind The Wise Traveller at Plumpton (3m1f, good) six weeks ago; more needed. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
The last of his four hurdle wins was in late 2023; well beaten in this discipline before pulling up on last week's belated return to fences. |
14/1 |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Had lots of racing over hurdles and without a win since late 2023; comfortably beaten in two runs after a break and has steered clear of fences since trying them once before over two years ago (tailed off). |
16/1 |
|
5th 7 |
9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Without a win since December 2023 but lost out only by a nose at Worcester (2m4f, good) last summer and returned from break with satisfactory run at Fontwell last month; contender if that recent outing brought him on. |
