4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 144y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Won two in a row at Kempton (2m, good) in the winter before another good run when fourth at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft), where he would have been a bit closer but for late interference; soft ground may not have been ideal in the County Hurdle three weeks ago; might not be far away. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
A rare one in that he's improved since leaving Dan Skelton, winning a pair of 2m handicaps on good ground at Kempton this winter; creditable fourth of ten in the Scottish County at Musselburgh six weeks ago but it underlines that he needs to find a bit more from this career-high mark. |
25/1 |

4th 2 |
31st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
7yo who has been with a new stable since October and has shown career-best form to win at Kempton (2m, good) on his last two starts; has shown promise on soft/good to soft; clearly thriving and could take latest 6lb rise in his stride if today's slower conditions aren't an issue. |

2nd 4 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Didn't see out 3m when well-held third at Doncaster (good to soft) in March but ran well for a long way and is now back on same mark as for his clear second behind a useful rival there (2m3f, soft) in November; also suited by good ground; could be a tough nut to crack if aided by new cheekpieces. |

3rd 6 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 84y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Won a 2m5f maiden hurdle for James Ewart last season (good); hasn't progressed in handicaps this term and was beaten a long way at Haydock last time (2m5f, good to soft; trainer blamed the ground); each-way chance. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Defied higher marks three times in 2024 but his 2025 form took a turn for the worse; chance depends on whether this first start of 2026 results in a turnaround. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 154y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Four-time winner over hurdles but has looked out of sorts on the Flat and over hurdles this year; the new visor did nothing for him last time. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Completed hurdle double when winning here (2m6f, soft) in December and tapped back into that promise when runner-up at Sandown (2m4f, soft) a fortnight ago on his third run over fences; won on good to soft going over hurdles; that latest form reads well and he's high on the list this afternoon. |
11/2 |

2nd 7 |
7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 15y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Highly progressive over hurdles in 2025, winning four times (2m4f-2m7f, good to soft/soft), but he's performed below that level switched to fences in recent months; still early days in this sphere but difficult to make a case for him here. |
25/1 |

4th 1 |
19th Feb 2026 2m 0f 77y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Highly progressive over hurdles last year, winning four times (2m4f-2m7f, good to soft/soft); weakened quickly when soundly beaten sixth on last month's chase debut at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) but that's unlikely to be the limit of his ability over fences; no surprise to see a bold show. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Scored for the first time in two years at Newcastle (2m4f, good) four weeks ago; up 4lb and should not be far away in this follow-up bid. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Winless since May 2024 and he's not proving easy to catch right this season, a below-par sixth in 2m3f Carlisle handicap hurdle 20 days ago. |
6/1 |
|
6th 6 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
On a near two-year losing spell and isn't certain to confirm last-time placings with Ryebridge, who is less exposed; that said, again has an each-way squeak. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
On a hat-trick having won for today's rider at Wetherby in March (1m7f, good) and at Market Rasen in April (2m3f, good); has gone up 10lb, but these conditions suit and he could go well again. |
3/1 |

1st 4 |
14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Five-time hurdle winner who has returned to chasing in recent weeks and was a clearcut winner at Wetherby (1m7f, good) on his latest outing; features prominently in calculations. |
11/2 |
|
1st 5 |
27th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 36y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Somewhat similar to Zero Tolerance, being an exposed sort whose chase record is 0-8; the difference is that he's a five-time hurdles winner, most recently off 5lb higher at Wetherby (2m3f) in October; recent form suggests this drop in trip is worth exploring; interesting back here. |
