21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Ex-Irish 8yo who started off for Fergal O'Brien with three chase wins (2m4f-2m5f) in the autumn; returned with a lesser effort in February and fell when last in action but remains unexposed over 3m; sports first-time cheekpieces for hurdling debut; could have a say. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Ex-Irish 8yo who started off for Fergal O'Brien with three chase wins in the autumn (2m4f-2m5f, good/good to soft); returned from short break with lesser effort last month but he's very unexposed as a stayer and further progress remains possible if he's back on song here. |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Showed little in Ireland but has thrived since joining this stable, winning under Tom Broughton on all three starts (2m4f/2m5f), on ground no worse than good to soft; more needed off 4lb higher and the ground is likely to be on the soft side, but still the one to beat. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won twice over fences within a week last December but has essentially struggled off his new mark and still 6lb higher than for those two wins; still commands some respect in this weak a race. |
9/2 |

5th 9 |
1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Consistent either side of two wins at about 2m4f last December (good to soft and heavy) but there's nothing eyecatching about his mark now and he needs to find extra for the new trip. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
10th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Consistent sort who was successful in first two attempts in visor, in December, including over C&D (heavy); should have benefitted from his first run for four months when sixth of nine at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month; visor returns to replace cheekpieces and won't be far away. |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Progressed over hurdles earlier this year (better for blinkers), last time edging home in a 3m1f good-ground handicap at Plumpton (5lb lower); appeals as one with plenty more to offer and had wind surgery ahead of this chasing debut; wasn't great the last time he tried cheekpieces but perhaps unwise to read much into that. |

Last seen winning a 3m handicap hurdle at Ffos Las in April (good to soft) off a 5lb lower mark; bred to make a chaser so has to be of interest. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Inconsistent 7yo who has modest 1-21 strike-rate and needs to rebound from a heavy defeat last month; competes off career-low mark here but needs a good boost from the new cheekpieces. |
10/1 |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |

Inconsistent but wasn't beaten far when third of four at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft) and then fell early at Ffos Las (4-1); should be in the mix. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Best at about 2m4f and he's looked to have stamina limitations in the majority of his runs beyond that trip; below his latest winning mark, last May, but he's failed to complete in two of his last three runs since back chasing and some reservations remain. |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |

Unseated rider when returned to chasing in January and has suffered a heavy defeat since; on a workable mark and suited by this C&D/slow ground but has some questions to answer. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Landed the odds in three-runner chase at Plumpton (about 2m3f, good; acts on soft/heavy) in May; solid hurdles second under Osian Radford in December and still on the premises when blundering that rider away over fences (also Ludlow, 3m, good to soft) last month; drops back down in trip; respected. |

2m6f winner at Stratford last October; another good run to be fourth at Ludlow in January (2m4f) but bit below that level since, last time sent to France. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Made all to open account at Stratford (2m6f, good to soft) in October, his eighth chase, and has performed well off today's mark on both subsequent outings (2m4f, soft/good to soft); up in grade today but still enters calculations. |
6/1 |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 5 |

Made all to open account at Stratford (2m6f, good to soft) in October, his eighth chase, and also ran well when second to very progressive rival at Warwick (2m4f, soft) the following month; had wind op during 57-day break; can give this a good shot. |

11st 8lb |
Not yet proven over this far but made the frame on final four outings last season (2m3f-2m4f, good) and was in front before penultimate-fence unseat at Fontwell (3m2f, good) last month; must be considered. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |

All three wins have been on heavy ground; C&D second in January was also on soft but his two placed efforts over 2m4f at Wincanton since came on good to soft and good; ought to be thereabouts again but it is now over two years since his last win. |
