25th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Chased home one who was on the middle leg of a five-timer in Ascot novice handicap hurdle (about 3m, good to soft) in November but ran poorly in similar event back at that track one month later; same mark for this chase debut and untried on softer than good to soft but he's still respected. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Had three starts for Nicky Henderson; comfortably held in two runs for current yard, the latest his handicap debut over 3m at Ludlow (good to soft; beaten about 8l); down only 2lb. |

23rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Had three starts for Nicky Henderson, finishing with second to an impressive winner in C&D maiden (good to soft) and he just holds third-placed Swift Jet on that result; forgiven his 2m5f run for new connections last month and this test should suit on handicap debut. |

May not have achieved much when beating three rivals at Stratford (2m6f, good; first-time blinkers) in September and has been well held in both starts since; 3lb drop not enough to tempt. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Successful over fences (twice) and hurdles last term; went off the boil on his last two runs early on this year and is 7lb higher than his last winning mark; looks to need to come down the weights. |

19th Feb 2026 3m 3f 9y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Ex-Irish; has won four races since joining this yard, two of them over fences here (2m5f, 3m5f, good); has won on soft/heavy ground but best form on good/good to soft and below par on ground considered 'tacky' last time. |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 4f 178y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Four wins since joining this stable last spring, the latest in Durham National at Sedgefield (3m5f, good) in October; arguably posted career-best performance when clear second in Lincolnshire National at Market Rasen (3m3f, good to soft) on Boxing Day but went up another 4lb for that and the forecast slower ground here may not be ideal. |

C&D winner in a first-time visor in March (good; 5lb lower) but beaten between 10l and 14l in three subsequent races, the last two over fences (cheekpieces/visor); should give his running, though improvement has come on good ground. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Overall strike-rate of 1-28 and the win came over fences; 0-18 over hurdles and has to bounce back from some shoddy efforts; in cheekpieces and a visor for the last two and now goes in blinkers. |

21st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Has questions to answer after two disappointing runs in July but is very well suited by this C&D and competes off new career-low mark today; swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor; dangerous to ignore. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |

Only win was a 2m7f handicap chase at Huntingdon in May 2024; mixed efforts over hurdles and fences since but well beaten last of six at Bangor on latest start. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Absent since struggling to cope with 3m on heavy ground in January but made all under Elliott England at Leicester (2m4f, heavy) in December and was placed on good ground in the autumn; no surprise if she features. |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Dictated the pace and stuck on well in five-runner race at Leicester (2m4f, heavy) in December, opening her account at the 15th attempt; creditable third of ten here (2m6f, heavy) three weeks ago when she made Sean Bowen work hard and Pipas Lescribaa was second, but there's a 3lb swing in the weights today and this new trip now looks well worth a go; each-way chance. |
5/1 |

2nd 6 |
18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
No wins in 12 but shouldn't be long in putting that right after keeping the favourite honest last time at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft); Elliott England rides again off 2lb higher and solid chance. |

Dual chase winner last November but he's lost his way over fences and hurdles since the turn of the year; on a good mark if the first-time visor has a positive effect. |

Not as far out of the weights as when an outpaced fifth on this month's handicap debut, and the longer trip may prove a plus; still a lot to find with the best of these, however; cheekpieces already discarded. |
