11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Completed a four-timer (soft/good to soft) and made it three handicap wins in a row when cruising into the lead in the 2m4f EBF Final at Sandown last month; highly progressive and could play a leading role up in grade. |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 178y Class 1 |
11st 11lb |
Progressing rapidly and completed a hat-trick of hurdles wins at Windsor (2m4f, soft) in January, coming from rear; more improvement required off 7lb higher mark and that's entirely possible; high on the list. |

18th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Only had four runs and won the last two, a maiden at Perth (2m4f, soft) and handicap at Lingfield (2m3f, good to soft; comfortably); 8lb higher now but clearly on the upgrade and commands considerable respect. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Consistent in defeat over hurdles last season (2m4f-3m) before producing lesser efforts in his final two races; this mark doesn't look obviously lenient (2lb out of the weights) but bred to be a chaser. |
16/1 |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 127y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Last run too bad to be true but had been consistent in novice/maidens and the previous third at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) came in a strong race; the potential is there to be competitive off this mark on handicap debut. |
10/1 |

3rd 5 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Runner-up on first three hurdle starts (2m4f/3m, soft/good to soft) before third of five in strong novice at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) four weeks ago; suspicion his limitations may again be exposed today but he's receiving weight all round and might not be far away. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Course bumper winner who is 0-6 over hurdles but went close over C&D (good) last September and was a good second at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last month; every chance she'll be bang there; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Dual bumper winner who was competitive in last year's first four starts over hurdles, from 2m to 2m5f; absent 298 days and cheekpieces removed when his form dipped slightly at Market Rasen (extended 2m5f) one month ago but he may have needed that run and the headgear is back; a leading contender. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Dual bumper winner who has been competitive in all four starts over hurdles, from 2m to 2m5f; cheekpieces worn on last two starts are removed; off since October but he's the standard setter. |

10st 12lb |
0-6 over hurdles and absent since safely held in 2m4f series final at Musselburgh in March; open to improvement over staying trips this season but others have more obvious claims today. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Better could have been expected in a maiden at Ayr last time but prior to that he was second of 12 over this C&D (good to soft) on his handicap debut, and he can be in the mix if returning to form. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Weak 16-1 chance on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie) and never counted; cheekpieces are added. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Unexposed; second in two maiden hurdles (beaten 43l last time) but best effort when fifth in a Perth maiden in October (2m4f, soft); improvement likely on handicap debut with a tongue-tie tried; chance. |
8/1 |

10th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Didn't show a huge amount in two points; second of five at Plumpton on rules debut (2m4f, good); improved on that before running out of steam at Perth (2m4f, soft) last October when last seen; likely to need another significant step up to win this and a sound surface should help. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Out of a half-sister to smart jumper Tombstone; unable to justify favouritism when only third of five on bumper debut at Ayr (heavy) in February but combination of wind surgery, tongue-tie and better ground may enable improvement on this hurdling debut. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Fair third in a Newcastle handicap hurdle in January (2m7f, heavy) but well behind Ck O'Mara at Ayr next time (3m, soft); reverts to hurdles after failing to finish in two runs over fences (running creditably on first occasion). |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Mistakes eventually caught up with him when he fell three out on last month's chase debut over C&D (soft); however, he was in second at the time and could play a leading role if first-time cheekpieces help his jumping. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Maiden who hasn't proved easy to catch right over hurdles this term, beating one in 3m Ayr handicap 18 days ago; starts out over fences today and others appeal more. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |

Returned from break with fairly encouraging run in C&D novice in April but was pulled up in 2m4f handicap here last month and has a fair bit more to prove than some of these. |

13th May 2026 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Seven-race maiden; unseated rider on his first two attempts over hurdles and hasn't set the world alight in novice company on last two starts; it's notable that he steps back up in trip for handicap debut (is a half-brother to 2m4f winner Cave Hill) and that should bring about some improvement. |
12/1 |

24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Unseated quite early in his first two runs over hurdles but finished a remote ninth at Ayr when 150-1; the only positive is the return to a drier surface, as the ground was good when runner-up on bumper debut. |

Half-brother to top-class hurdler The New One but disappointed in three bumpers for Nicky Henderson in 2024 and makes stable/hurdle debut after 523-day absence. |

16th May 2024 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |

Last month's midfield finish at Ludlow represented an improvement, if not the major one perhaps anticipated following wind surgery and he still finished weakly (beaten 10l); bit more to prove now. |
