24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Bounced back with a win at Warwick (2m5f, good to soft) in December but he was tailed off in next two starts and he didn't get very far at Newbury (fell at third) last time; has plenty to prove again and he's still 3lb higher than for his last win. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Has gained both wins in Class 4, including for his standout performance this term; pair of duck eggs since, albeit the 2m7f trip perhaps contributed to latest defeat; others have stronger claims. |
20/1 |

14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 123y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Showed career-best form when winning readily by 4l at Warwick (2m5f, good to soft; refitted cheekpieces) in December; subsequent lesser effort in major Kempton handicap is not viewed harshly but 2m7f on soft ground will take his stamina into unknown territory. |

17th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Ready winner at Bath (2m1f, good to firm) on reappearance and good second under Mason Paetel over C&D (good) eight days later; another bold bid looks on its way. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Ready winner back from a break at Bath (2m1f, good to firm) eight days ago; his 4lb rise is offset by Mason Paetel's claim; likely to follow up. |
6/5 |
|
1st 3 (5) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 24y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Turned things around back over hurdles with a win at Ludlow (2m, good) in November but he was a well-held third in a small field at Sedgefield the following month; bit to prove again after that but conditions should be fine back in this sphere and he's well treated on his close call at Chester last autumn; not ruled out on his return. |

8st 11lb |
Debutant by Nathaniel out of a dam 2m-2m4f hurdle winning half-sister to winners La Pantera (6f), Clara Zetkin (6f/7f) and Hija (2m/3m hurdle); others are more appealing. |

18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Veteran who's been sharply on the downgrade in recent times, coming 22lb down the weights in the past year; a long time since he wore headgear, which is likely fitted more in hope than expectation. |
20/1 |
|
6th 8 (4) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Veteran who is 1-29 on the Flat and has completely lost his way, including when last of nine (behind two of these) over C&D four weeks ago; opposable from 1lb wrong. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
A nine-time Flat winner over 1m6f-2m, he made a pleasing hurdles debut when third of five finishers (with stablemate Alex The Great 27l back) in a Hereford maiden (2m, good) 15 days ago; steps up in trip and holds place claims. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Hurdles debutant who is a nine-time AW winner at 1m6f/2m, most recently in March; one of the better contenders in terms of achievements but an unconvincing turf record leaves him with something to prove. |
11/2 |
|
6th 7 (7) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 24y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Got back on the scoresheet at Lingfield (2m, AW) last month and he ran to a similar level when fourth at Wolverhampton (1m6f) 11 days ago; on lower mark back on turf but he's struggled in his six runs in this sphere including three 2m handicaps; risks attached. |

12th May 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Thriving in 2026 and he gamely made all when completing a hat-trick in 2m Goodwood handicap ten days ago; up another 2lb but this likeable dual C&D scorer is a big player once more. |
6/5 |
|
1st 7 (7) |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Four AW wins since December and she completed a double in good style at Lingfield (2m) last month; 7lb higher back on turf but that was a clear personal best last time and she's unexposed in this sphere; respected. |
7/2 |
|
1st 14 (6) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Saw his race out well when successful at Southwell (2m2f, Tapeta) last month and is 1-1 here, having won over this trip in January; up another 3lb, but still one for the shortlist. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won three times in the summer of 2024, including twice over C&D; several good runs in defeat last year and he starts out for George Baker (same owner) off a competitive mark; one to consider. |
5/1 |
|
3 (2) |
4th Nov 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Record is 3-35; couple of third-place finishes since wearing blinkers, latest at Newbury when stepped back up to 2m (usually races over middle distances); could go well in the retained headgear. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Lots of Flat racing and lowly rated these days; hadn't shown much over hurdles but kept finding to finish a 5.5l third over 2m4f here 22 days ago on his handicap debut, and this longer trip looks the obvious move. |
100/30 |
|
3rd 11 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Lowly rated these days on the Flat and has shown little in three runs over hurdles; makes handicap hurdle debut up in trip and needs to show significant improvement. |
14/1 |
|
4th 3 |
9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
A fair 1m6f Flat winner; built on his hurdling debut seventh when third of four in 2m Doncaster novice 27 days ago but this demands considerably more. |

5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Has won three times here, all with give in the ground, twice over this trip; would be interesting if the ground eases but usually comes on for her first run. |
5/1 |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Ended a long losing sequence when winning at Ayr (1m7f, soft) last month and she followed up there (1m5f, heavy) a fortnight ago; also effective elsewhere and this in-form mare could play another leading role. |
3/1 |
|
6 (1) |
9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 5f 26y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Ended a losing run going back to September 2022 when winning here (1m7f, soft) last Tuesday; her profile suggests her credentials for following up are questionable, but she had 3l to spare last week and a 4lb penalty may not stop her if she can reproduce that form. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 139y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won two in a row on the Flat (2m1f/2m, soft) last autumn and running well when falling three out on hurdle debut in December; always in rear back on the Flat last month but that came after a 109-day break and she could leave than run behind this afternoon. |
13/2 |
|
8th 9 (6) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won her last two Flat starts in the autumn (2m1f/2m, soft) and she was running well when falling three out on her hurdle debut at Fontwell in December; this is her first run since and she's struggled on AW previously, but she could be a different proposition now; wears first-time hood; could go well. |
