17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Displayed significant improvement when fitted with cheekpieces for chasing debut at Fakenham (2m5f, good to soft) in January, making all to win by just over 7l; lacked fluency and was pulled up at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) the following month but has strong claims if back on song after 97-day break. |

9th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Maiden hurdler who was a very different proposition on her chase debut at Fakenham (2m5f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) three weeks ago when she scored easily by just over 7l; a 7lb rise could have been worse and there's stamina in the pedigree. |

18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 44y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Unable to justify prominence in the betting when safely held in two handicap hurdles (2m4f/3m) towards end of last year but remains unexposed after only six starts and this switch to fences may prompt the improvement that has evidently been expected; sports first-time cheekpieces. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Winless since May 2023; some sound beatings among his current sequence of frame finishes, but he did run the winner to about 7l at Fakenham latest (2m5f, good to soft) with a next-time winner just behind. |

18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 44y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Regressive 8yo who is 0-5 over fences and has been absent since his well-held fourth at Bangor (2m1f, good) last March; might have been refreshed by a layoff but could be considered only if lively in the betting. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Front-runner who bids to complete a Fakenham hat-trick after two wide-margin wins in two-finisher contests this year (3m5f, soft/3m, good to soft); the value of his form is tricky to evaluate and today's faster ground may not be ideal but, nevertheless, another bold bid seems likely. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Saw out the longer trip well to get off the mark here (3m5f, soft) four weeks ago; 6lb higher but has obvious claims and looks the one to beat. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Signs of a revival when fourth over fences at Fakenham (2m5f) in January, before 3m5f stretched her (refused at the final fence) on final start for Seamus Mullins; offered little when sent off joint-favourite on stable debut last month; tongue-tie wore then quickly dispensed with and she reverts to hurdles on a workable mark, but with plenty to prove. |

18th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
None too consistent but he's a dual chase winner (2m4f/2m) and was second to the odds-on favourite in a small field last time; shouldn't be far away if giving his true running. |

2nd 1 |
2nd Mar 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Lacks consistency but registered a success in a deeper C&D event (good to soft; off just 2lb lower) in December and has possibilities provided he's back in similar form. |
7/4 |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Has won twice over fences, over 2m4f at Uttoxeter (soft) in 2024 and over C&D (good to soft) in December; bit disappointing at Fakenham last time but could bounce back. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Resumed winning ways at Fakenham (2m7f) in April but she made mistakes when a remote third of five in 2m5f handicap chase there 12 days ago; needs to get back on track. |

3rd 5 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Won this race a year ago and was also on target over hurdles here (2m7f, good) last month; again ran well when second in 3m chase (good) three weeks ago but is effectively 10lb higher from out of the weights today. |
11/2 |

2nd 4 |
13th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Won over fences here (2m5f, good) last spring and doubled her course tally in modest handicap hurdle (2m7f, good) a week ago; far too inconsistent to rely upon heavily but reverts to chasing on a good mark and has obvious claims if in the right mood again. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
2m4f hurdle winner on good ground; 0-5 as a chaser and failed to convince stamina-wise when stepped up to 3m at Southwell, finishing 28l off the winner; to give him the benefit of the doubt, that run was after a break. |

3rd 5 |
11th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Won 2m4f hurdle at the start of 2025 and made a fairly encouraging chase debut when third of six at Newton Abbot (2m, good) one year ago; returned from break with three disappointing runs from November to January, though, and has questions to answer on first attempt at 3m; hood refitted. |
