13th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Course regular who was mostly in good form last year and last month's reappearance run at Exeter looked too bad to be true; hard to dismiss, especially back here. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 111y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Two-time winner over a similar trip at Newton Abbot (both good); was competitive from this mark on his last two starts at that track (both 2m5f) and should be involved if straight enough after a six-month break. |

18th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Dual 2m2f course winner this season; rebounded from two lesser efforts when close third of five (just behind Striking A Pose) over C&D (good) last month but has more on his plate in this deeper race. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
C&D winner last November (good to soft; held up), when 15lb lower; also held up when showing marginal improvement to score at Wincanton (3m, good) latest; up another 6lb but looks a leading player. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 150y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Made the breakthrough at Exeter (2m5f, good to soft) in November and he had a near-miss at Taunton (3m, good) the following month; looks interesting on that form but he was laboured at Exeter last month and that took his hurdling record to 1-18. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Came good here (2m5f, good to soft) in November, his 14th hurdling start, and has performed well over 3m at Taunton on all three starts since; ought to be right in the thick of things again. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Four-time hurdle winner and his last success was at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to soft) in June; disappointing in final run for the Hobbs/White yard but he still looks feasibly treated on his best form and needs a close look on first run for James Owen; new headgear. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Low-mileage 7yo who made the frame on all four starts for current trainer, most recently when third in Bangor handicap (2m, good) this month; eased in grade here and Sean Bowen takes the ride; likely contender. |
13/2 |

3rd 3 |
4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Made the frame on last three of his four hurdling starts, most recently when a respectable fourth of seven on handicap debut at Worcester (2m, good) last month; 2lb lower here; probably won't be far away. |

18th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Placed in C&D maiden (good) last month and also ran well when fourth at Stratford (2m2f, good) eight days later; almost certainly needs to improve to overcome top weight on this handicap debut, though. |

4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Runner-up in a handicap chase here in November but pulled up next time; returns to hurdling (dual winner) from 7lb out of the weights and that's not ideal. |
50/1 |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Won off 8lb higher over hurdles here (2m2f, good) last July but his three chasing attempts towards the end of last year were unconvincing, and he was out of form when back over hurdles this summer. |

21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Hasn't won for nearly three years but he's often placed and was only just denied over 2m1f here in June, though he has to be forgiven a below-par run when well behind Stinginhisstep over C&D last month; could place again, with Brian Hughes taking over from a claimer, if back on song. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Went down fighting when beaten a head off today's mark here (2m1f, good) last month, his second run after a layoff, and will be fine over today's longer trip; featured prominently in calculations. |
4/1 |

2nd 8 |
24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
C&D winner (2022, no win since) who was second twice here last summer; shaped as though the run might have been needed when finishing sixth of ten on reappearance over C&D (good) 20 days ago; on a competitive mark and likely to be all the sharper for that. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Got off the mark at the 27th attempt under rules at Exeter (2m, good to firm) last October; ran her best since when runner-up at Fakenham (2m7f, good) 26 days ago; her versatility distance-wise holds her in good stead but her win-record is off-putting. |
8/1 |

2nd 6 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Scored off today's mark in first-time cheekpieces at Exeter (2m, good to firm) in October and posted a good effort over 2m4f the following month but was pulled up three weeks ago, after a break, and her Flat pedigree raises doubts over the suitability of this trip. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Gained her breakthrough victory at Exeter (2m) in October but she's been off since coming in a below-par fourth in 2m4f handicap at Hereford in December; she needs to bounce back. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Well beaten in first three handicaps, most recently when never on terms at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) last month, but tries a new trip here and connections are persisting with her; worth a glance in the betting. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
0-11 over hurdles; did not achieve a great deal when remote third over C&D (good) last month and needs combination of refitted tongue-tie and first-time cheekpieces to generate improvement. |

3rd 6 |
24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |

Well beaten here on both outings this year (2m5f/2m1f) and has now been unplaced all ten hurdling starts; difficult to enthuse over. |

13th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |

Yet to be placed from ten starts under rules and was pulled up here (21.5f, good) when last seen in April; hard to fancy. |
