28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Justified favouritism in his last two handicaps on soft and good to soft; it was harder work after a 6lb hit last time and now has to defy the same rise, but he has momentum behind him. |

Off the mark over hurdles at fifth attempt, rewarding strong market support with clearcut success at Wetherby (2m, soft) on Boxing Day; could easily have more improvement to come and goes on the shortlist. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

Flat winner who is 0-15 over hurdles, though does have placed form off this mark; it wasn't too bad a run 19 days ago at Market Rasen. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
0-14 over hurdles, and C&D second in January (good to soft) was the fourth time he's been beaten under a length in this sphere; not obviously ungenuine for all that, however, and he'll likely be just right for this after a couple of recent Flat spins; no ground concerns. |

Modest maiden hurdler who returned to the Flat following 20-month absence when seventh of nine at Pontefract (1m, good to soft) 13 days ago; needs to come down the weights. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
0-9 over hurdles but he went close in a Southwell handicap (2m, good to soft) in December; was never really travelling when a well-held third at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) last month but that was after a short break and cheekpieces are now added; dangerous if he can get back near best. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |

0-8 over hurdles but kept on to be placed on both 2m starts since his wind op in November and looks well worth another go over today's longer trip; might be the answer. |

16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |

0-7 over hurdles but showed the benefit of a wind op when keeping on well for clear second behind odds-on favourite at Southwell (2m, good to soft) last month and is respected, despite going up 5lb for that run. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Runner-up twice in February (including C&D on soft) before making it 14th time lucky over hurdles in 2m4f Sedgefield handicap (good) last month; he and the runner-up came well clear of the third so he should competitive off 6lb higher. |

0-13 over hurdles and becoming rather frustrating but came second twice over 2m3f last month (soft/good to soft) and seems very likely to be in the shake-up again here. |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Last Flat win came in November 2023 and he's 0-12 over hurdles; however, he ran well when second off this reduced mark at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) last Monday and can be in the mix if backing that up. |

Remains winless and she comes here on the back of a below-par sixth in 2m4f Southwell handicap three weeks ago; others are preferred. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

No wins in nine; best run was here on her penultimate start when going down narrowly over this trip on soft ground; appeared to get outpaced on good ground at Huntingdon 13 days ago so that's a worry. |

11th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |

Low-mileage 7yo who took a big step forward when second of 11 in 2m4f Southwell handicap three weeks ago; up 3lb but she's weighted to go close in her bid for a maiden success. |

Low mileage for an 8yo; beaten 23l (2m4f) and 13l (2m) in his two handicaps and now goes in a tongue-tie which clearly needs to make some difference. |

Still very unexposed after only four starts but was well held when last of three on handicap debut at Leicester (2m4f, soft) six weeks ago; drops back in trip here; significant improvement required. |

16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Struggled on heavy ground last month but his first two hurdle runs (good/good to soft) were quite promising and his fairly useful French Flat form suggests he could be on a good mark for this handicap hurdle debut. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 33y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Well beaten on last month's stable debut on the Flat when back from a year off, but he may have needed the run and he was fairly useful in that code when trained in France; brings potential to this first hurdle start. |
4/1 |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Useful form in four French runs for Andre Fabre, posting an RPR of 94 when narrowly beaten over 1m4f on final run last September (heavy; effective on good to soft); difficult to know what form he'll be in after an absence but he sets the standard. |

Lightly raced but allowed to go off at 50-1 on handicap debut in January (2m, good to soft) and was pulled up; hard to be confident. |

16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Well beaten (bled from the nose) on penultimate outing but showed ability in her other two qualifying races, more recently when fourth in race won easily by 1-25 favourite; it's tricky to gauge what that form is worth but she's open to improvement in handicaps. |

£26,000 3yo; second foal; dam multiple AQPS Flat/hurdle/chase winner; stable is 0-26 in bumpers during the last five seasons, so it's probably wise to wait for some encouraging signals from the betting. |
