20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
All eight races on good/good to soft ground; runner-up at Market Rasen (2m7f) in December on second handicap start and faded into fourth here (3m2f) last time; possible player back down in trip, provided conditions suit. |

Stable jockey rides their other one but this gelding has been ridden by Tristan Durrell in all his four races; beaten 10l and 18l in two novices and this looks stronger again. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Veteran who has won three of his last five starts and was as good as ever when scoring on the step up to 3m at Wincanton (good) last month; up 4lb but he should have more to offer over staying trips and he's an interesting contender. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
In career-best form this season, winning here (2m4f, good) and at Taunton (2m3f, heavy); well beaten on latest outing, though, and remains on tough mark for first 3m attempt under rules. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 4 |

In-form 10yo who has won two of his last three; raised another 4lb since scoring under a good 7lb claimer at Taunton (2m3f, heavy) this month, though, and may find younger rivals better handicapped here. |

4th Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Won slow-ground hurdle in France in February but unraced over jumps since pulled up in Listed handicap later that month and, barring one close second in a low-grade handicap, this year's Flat form is rather uninspiring. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Well beaten over 2m here on stable/hurdle debut in May and ran to just a fair level when placed over that trip on next two outings; however, last year's useful Irish Flat form over middle-distance/staying trips in headgear offers hope he can improve over hurdles now he's upped to 2m4f with a visor refitted; interesting. |

8th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Fairly useful on the Flat in Ireland; quiet on hurdle/stable debut and although he ran better to be second at Worcester (2m, good to soft), that was a modest race; likely to need more here. |

10st 10lb |
Held every chance when unseating late on in a chase at Wincanton on Boxing Day (2m4f); again let down by his jumping at Ludlow; sold for £19,500 since; likely best watched after a change of yard, especially back over hurdles with stamina to prove. |

11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Had won a bumper and a handicap, but his all-the-way win at Wincanton last month (2m4f, good) was a career-best and the first-time visor must have been a factor; the handicapper didn't hold back with a 13lb hike but still much respected. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Won a bumper on good ground and a handicap hurdle (2m4f) on good to soft; ran right up to his best when third in a Taunton handicap in January but he was disappointing after wind surgery there last month; bit to prove again after that and he needs new headgear to work. |

7th 4 |
9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |

Got back on track when third of 13 in C&D handicap in January; this fair 2m4f winner can't be dismissed off the same mark on the back of wind surgery. |

Won over hurdles prior to his successful chase debut over C&D (soft) and when a 6l third off this mark at Sedgefield his jumping could have been better; needs considering. |
4/1 |

3rd 4 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |

Just did enough to win over hurdles at Taunton (3m, good; refitted cheekpieces) in December and bettered that form when scoring by over 6l on chasing debut at Fontwell (2m3f, soft) the following month; still unexposed over staying trips and over fences; respected. |

18th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
0-8 but he's dropped 11lb since tackling handicaps and took steps forward on last two starts when third of 11 at Hereford (3m2f, soft) and second of nine at Doncaster (extended 3m, good to soft); ridden all season by Cameron Johnstone-Baker; again in serious each-way contention. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Has made little impact since switched to handicaps and, though well supported at Taunton (2m, good) in January, failed to justify the money, struggling a long way out and eventually pulling up; off since and now 14lb lower than her opening mark but can only be watched at present. |

Safely held over C&D in June but that was her first start for seven months and she's now back on the same mark as when winning at Fontwell (3m2f, good) last spring; contender if she comes on from that reappearance run. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Got off the mark at the 27th attempt under rules at Exeter (2m, good to firm) last October; ran her best since when runner-up at Fakenham (2m7f, good) 26 days ago; her versatility distance-wise holds her in good stead but her win-record is off-putting. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Scored off today's mark in first-time cheekpieces at Exeter (2m, good to firm) in October and posted a good effort over 2m4f the following month but was pulled up three weeks ago, after a break, and her Flat pedigree raises doubts over the suitability of this trip. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |

Gained her breakthrough victory at Exeter (2m) in October but she's been off since coming in a below-par fourth in 2m4f handicap at Hereford in December; she needs to bounce back. |

10st 2lb |
Gave good account when third at Plumpton (2m4f, good) last month but wasn't in quite the same form at Fakenham three weeks ago and is now 0-14 over hurdles; 4lb out of the weights; not the percentage call. |

3rd 8 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |

Has made the frame in handicaps from 2m to 2m5f; probably failed to stay nearly 3m last time and her previous run at Fakenham wasn't too shoddy; 2lb out of the weights but could play some role here. |

2m4f hurdle and 2m7f chase winner (both good to soft); has struggled with consistency, but a leading player if reproducing his latest third of eight at Exeter last month. |
