17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 137y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) in January and followed up at Wincanton (2m5f, heavy), both under Rian Corcoran; when third at Ffos Las (2m4f, heavy) it maybe came too soon, just six days after the Wincanton win; 7lb higher mark has now kicked in but he may still have more to offer. |

3rd 5 |
20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Immediate improvement for the switch to handicaps and deployment of Rian Corcoran, the pair obliging at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) and Wincanton (2m5f, heavy) with something in hand each time; unpenalised for the latter, and obvious case assuming the six-day turnround isn't too quick. |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 5f 82y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Well-held fourth in his first three runs over hurdles but he found improvement when justifying support on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) three weeks ago; up 5lb but that was a convincing win under Rian Corcoran and he's open to more progress at this new trip; key player. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Unexposed 5yo who was a good second on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) in January and he backed that up with a close fourth over C&D the following month; up another 2lb but he travelled strongly for a long way last time and is open to more progress; strongly respected with tongue-tie added. |

4th 1 |
21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Displayed significant improvement when clear second to a next-time-out winner on last month's handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft); went up 4lb for his troubles but still commands respect. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 4 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Last of three on bumper debut and modest form at best in three 2m hurdles towards the end of 2025; hopes rest on a step up in distance for today's handicap debut. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 150y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Off the mark at the sixth attempt over hurdles when when justifying favouritism at Taunton (3m, good) last month; up 7lb but he hit a clear personal best with that comfortable success and he's a major player again. |

1st 8 |
9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Lightly raced son of Walk In The Park who has taken a big step forward since sent handicapping, cheekpieces on when a clear third of ten at Chepstow (3m) 24 days ago; up 2lb but he can do better still with the headgear retained and merits serious consideration. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Has shown promise in a bumper and over hurdles but he's been pulled up on his last two starts, over hurdles and on chase debut, and returns from his second wind surgery since the autumn with plenty to prove. |
18/1 |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
0-6 over hurdles, having been pulled up in first-time cheekpieces (now removed) last month; could plausibly be seen to better effect now he's upped in trip and switched to fences but others have much more obvious claims. |
20/1 |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Early promise in different spheres in 2024; lightly raced and has not shown much since, the return to 2m4f, in his second handicap, not obviously helpful at Uttoxeter recently; cheekpieces now fitted; much more needed. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Slow-ground specialist who won twice over 2m3f (once here) in February 2025; should be fine over this trip but is yet to strike form this season (three runs; bled last time) and there may not be enough rain for him today. |
40/1 |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Slow-ground specialist who won this race in 2025 (soft ground) and followed up at Bangor (2m3f, heavy) 17 days later; returned from layoff with two lesser efforts this season but still considered; usually held up in rear. |
7/1 |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Veteran campaigner with a C&D win to his name; goes well on soft/heavy ground and won at Chepstow and Bangor this time last year; probably needed run when last of five at Leicester on reappearance; more solid than most. |

Sole success came over C&D on soft ground; beaten a long way both starts this season but he's now back to his winning mark and a return to Uttoxeter could spark a revival. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Seems to reserve his best for Uttoxeter and he gained his fourth course success over this trip in May (good ground; handles heavy); however, he was disappointing here just before Christmas and needs a revival. |
9/2 |

7th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Five hurdle wins, the latest a hard-fought success at favourite track Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in May; didn't run badly last month, after a break, but is not one to rely upon heavily. |
