9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Lost his way after winning twice over hurdles in November (2m4f, good to soft; once here) and was a disappointing favourite when well-held third of four on last month's chasing debut at Ludlow (3m, good); may yet turn things around but comes here with quite a bit to prove. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper winner who completed a 2m4f double over hurdles in November for a good start to his handicap career; not in same form in two completed starts since; chance of revival largely hinges on the switch to fences. |
7/2 |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Back-to-back wins at this sort of trip in November on good to soft; fell early when favourite next time and it was his first run on soft when tailed off at Huntingdon; on this ground and with cheekpieces added, he's one to consider. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Slightly disappointing when only fourth on his latest outing, but posted career-best form when winning readily by over 6l at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) two starts ago and has an obvious claims if back at that level. |
9/2 |

4th 4 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 181y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won for the second time over hurdles at Southwell last month (2m4f, good to soft); has a 7lb higher mark; each-way contender. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Only win in 11 starts over hurdles was a Huntingdon handicap in January 2024 (2m3f, good to soft); three fair efforts when returning from over a year off in the autumn; each-way chance. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
This sort of trip looked worth another go when he kept on for fifth of 15 on stable debut at Hereford (2m, soft) in December; however, he was tailed off at Ludlow (2m5f, soft) recently on his sole start since. |

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. |
6/1 |

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. |
9/2 |
|

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. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Won at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) in June 2024 but he's not seen much action since and has struggled over hurdles and fences in last five runs; now 14lb lower than for his win but he needs a major revival back in this sphere. |
11/2 |

11th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Has won over hurdles and finished second as a chaser; however, pretty poor in both disciplines since returning from a long absence. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Runner-up on chase debut in summer 2024 but returned from long absence with two disappointing hurdle runs towards end of last year and was also well beaten when back over fences in March (2m5f; first run after wind op); upped to 3m for first time under rules; needs to prove his ability remains. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Both wins here, the latest 16 days ago when holding on grimly off a 6lb lower mark; can be inconsistent. |
7/1 |
|
1st 8 |
19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Occasionally inclined to put his head in the air, but recorded a 2m5f win here off 1lb lower this time a year ago (good) and last month's comeback third was among his better runs since; does stay this far. |
