1st 4 |
22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Rampant 8yo who has won his last four starts (2m3f to 3m2f), most recently when staying on well to defy a hike up the weights at Sandown (2m4f, heavy) three weeks ago; up a further 6lb but the five-timer looks a distinct possibility. |

31st Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 178y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Record of P4111, all in Class 5, since joining current yard and switched to handicaps; gained the wins by an aggregate of about 39l and gives the impression he'll cope with this rise in grade, off new mark; progressive and commands respect. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
9yo who is exposed over hurdles but she scored over C&D (soft/good to soft) in two of her last three starts; 3lb higher than for her last win two weeks ago but she remains feasibly treated and should get a decent tow into this race; shortlisted. |
11/4 |
|
1st 10 |
26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Drew clear to win by over 9l over C&D (soft) in February, opening her hurdling account at the 16th attempt; not sure to be ideally suited by today's forecast quicker ground but her 5lb higher mark ought to be manageable, and she certainly didn't run badly on heavy going at Ffos Las this month. |

18th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Seven-race maiden hurdler who was runner-up twice in Lingfield handicaps over their extended 2m3f but underperformed there next time and trailed Glengolly and The Last Drop at Plumpton (upped to 3m1f) on latest start; 7lb out of the handicap. |
14/1 |

6th 9 |
23rd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Six-race maiden hurdler who has reached the frame on his last three runs since switched to handicaps, albeit beaten 31l at Lingfield (2m3f, soft) latest; from out of the weights he needs something extra for a first success today but he has place claims. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 7 |
19th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Very modest form in qualifying runs; has chased home an improved rival in two C&D handicaps (good to soft) since but he's back to racing from well out of the weights again so plenty more needed. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Hasn't been able to get seriously competitive across her five rules runs, in handicaps on last two occasions, but at least her 13l third here (2m4f, soft) in February was a step in the right direction; this 3m point runner-up (good to yielding) could build on it now up in trip and on better ground. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Irish point runner-up who has achieved little in four runs over hurdles, most recently when finishing a remote fourth at around this trip on last month's handicap debut; still early days and may do better in time, but she has enough to prove for now. |
12/1 |
|
4th 3 |
19th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Made favourite before runner-up in Irish point last April; has not achieved much in maiden and novice hurdles at about 2m1f but this trip and level look likely to see her to much better advantage; market can guide. |

25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Modest maiden hurdler, pulled up since a heavy defeat on January's handicap debut; drops back in trip and returns to better ground, with cheekpieces and a tongue-tie added, but has plenty to prove. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Still unexposed after only four hurdle runs but suffered heavy defeat on last month's handicap debut at Lingfield (2m3f, soft) and needs to take a big step forward here. |
25/1 |

5th 1 |
19th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Some promise on bumper debut; down the field in three novice and maiden hurdles, latterly at Ascot and Cheltenham, but his chance is much more obvious now handicapping off a modest mark over a trip that he's bred to stay. |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
AW Flat winner at 1m; in the frame in three juvenile hurdles in the autumn but was treading water when finishing remote on handicap debut at Windsor (2m, good) recently and the step up in trip has to be a query. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Fair Flat racer; weakened into well-held fourth on recent hurdling debut at Fontwell (2m1f, good) but some positives can be drawn from that performance and he may have learnt from the experience. |
3/1 |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |

1m AW maiden winner 12 months ago; also placed on first run of this year but has regressed since; blinkers did nothing last time, albeit on heavy ground (1m3f); bit risky on this hurdling debut. |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Maiden who was big prices and well held throughout 2025; goes without regular headgear but hard to foresee a good run from out of the weights. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Pulled up on both outings this season (2m4f/2m7f) and now 0-29 over hurdles; drops back to about 2m and swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor here; very difficult to enthuse over. |
