17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won at Uttoxeter (2m6f, heavy) in December on second handicap start and followed up at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft); tailed off at Ascot (2m7f, good to soft) since but made a bad early mistake; retains potential. |

14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 123y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Improving 7yo who bids for a hat-trick after emphatic wins at Uttoxeter (2m6f, heavy) and Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft); moves up in grade here but still needs to be taken very seriously. |

16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Well suited by combination of heavy ground and step up to 2m6f when comfortably beating three rivals at Uttoxeter last month, his sixth start over hurdles; could have more improvement to come but is 10lb higher here and may not be seen to quite the same effect on the forecast faster ground. |

Beat a dual subsequent winner when scoring by 4l over C&D (soft) on handicap debut in November and held every chance before penultimate-flight fall at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft; race in which West To The Bridge finished second) last month; now 13b above his winning mark but must be considered. |

Took five goes to win an Irish point; made an encouraging start over hurdles when fourth at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft) in April but he failed to build on that when a remote sixth at Chepstow last month; others preferred. |

In good form over hurdles when last out, winning a Southwell maiden (2m, good to soft) and an Ayr novice (2m, soft; made all); closely related to a hurdle/chase winner; interesting contender on chase debut; can pull hard. |

11st 7lb |
Well-related Malinas gelding who has shown promise in a point and over hurdles; bled from the nose when finishing a well-held fifth at Lingfield in November but an earlier Stratford third (2m, good to soft) reads well; worth considering with the longer trip expected to suit. |
6/1 |

18th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Third in a 3m Irish point and this stoutly bred gelding ran well to be third at Stratford as 2m around there was always going to be on the sharp side; has a future. |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |

Third in Irish point (3m, good to yielding) in April, form advertised by the runner-up since; brother to useful hurdle/chase winner but he has lots of stamina in pedigree and this trip is not sure to suit on rules debut. |

Bumper winner who was runner-up in a novice hurdle at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft) in December and not beaten far when fifth of eight on handicap debut at Kempton (2m, good) last month, when the speedy track didn't appear to play to his strengths; in top hands and could take a step forward today. |

90,000euros 3yo; justified favouritism in Huntingdon bumper (good to soft) on debut in February; found things tough in Grade 2 at Aintree in April but he's had wind surgery since and he could have a good future as a hurdler. |

Lightly raced son of Walk In The Park who has taken a big step forward since sent handicapping, cheekpieces on when a clear third of ten at Chepstow (3m) 24 days ago; up 2lb but he can do better still with the headgear retained and merits serious consideration. |

3rd 6 |
22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 163y Class 5 |

Half-brother to two French jumps winners but he failed to beat a rival in a junior hurdle event at Taunton (2m, good) on debut in March; was sent off at 11-2 for that race but he needs a transformation on his return. |

Bumper and maiden hurdle winner; pulled up in a Sandown handicap (2m4f, soft) last month but that was a tough assignment in a valuable event and he still has potential after only five runs in this sphere; needs checking in market on this drop back in grade. |

Point winner (3m, yielding) who made it 2-2 over hurdles (2m, good to soft/soft) in three-runner novice at Aintree in December; only just denied over this sort of trip in soft-ground Grade 2 on the New course here in January; has quite a plucky attitude but that form leaves him with something to find. |

Point winner (3m, yielding) who made it 2-2 over hurdles (2m, good to soft/soft) in three-runner novice at Aintree last month; he did it nicely last time from a useful yardstick, who won either side of that defeat; there's every chance this step up in trip will suit and he's high on the list. |
