2nd 4 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 150y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Improver who made it 2-3 over fences when scoring at Chepstow (3m, soft) last month; the leader fell two out in that race but this 6yo was in a clear second at the time and he eventually won by 8l in that big-field handicap; up 6lb but he's still lightly raced and should have more to offer in this sphere. |
2/1 |

1st 14 |
27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Very close second to progressive rival on seasonal/handicap/chase debut in November, then was left clear to score at Taunton (2m7f, good; final-fence faller won next time out) last month; 8lb higher here and not sure to be ideally suited by the slower ground, but still commands respect. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
28th Feb 2025 Heavy 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Promising effort in the second of two Irish points; dropped out into a very remote fourth of five finishers on hurdle debut here (2m6f, heavy) this month but it wouldn't surprise to see a better show here. |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Low-mileage 8yo who fell at first fence on penultimate outing but was placed in other two chases this season, more recently when second of 16 behind progressive rival at Chepstow (2m7f, soft; refitted tongue-tie) in January; up in grade here but still a likely contender. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Low-mileage 8yo who was placed here (2m3f, good to soft) on seasonal debut in November; fell at first fence on latest outing but could still have significant potential over staying trips; high on the list. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
15th Jan 2024 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Irish maiden point winner; 0-5 under rules but fair efforts in two hurdles behind respected opposition (2m3f/2m5f) before struggling in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham (16-1); needs a second look at this level. |

27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Not one to rely upon heavily and doesn't always look wildly enthusiastic but didn't run badly when fourth at Uttoxeter (3m heavy) last month and this track suits him well; on a good mark; can't be ruled out. |
14/1 |
|
7th 6 |
28th Oct 2025 Soft 3m 1f 60y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Best run during a fairly light campaign last season when second to progressive rival at Lingfield (2m7f, heavy) in February; contender if judged on that and Sean Bowen is booked today but this 10yo has not been seen since a lesser effort in March and he's too inconsistent to rely upon. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Veteran whose last win under rules was in 2020 (won a point early in 2024); fourth of 16 at Chepstow in January may look the only positive result in his nine races this season but he was beaten 35l, so that does not persuade; not even with his 37lb fall in the weights this term. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |

In poor form over hurdles and fences for new stable this season and getting very long in the tooth now but has plummeted down the weights and may yet stage some sort of a revival; watch the betting. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |

Ended 2025 with two wins at Southwell (3m, soft/good to soft), looking in particularly good nick on latter occasion; struggled from just out of the weights in last week's Surrey National at Lingfield but enters calculations in this easier race. |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 4f 178y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Ended 2025 with two wins at Southwell (3m, soft/good to soft); contests this much stronger race from 3lb out of the weights but he looked in particularly good nick on his latest outing and this trip should be fine. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |

11st 6lb |
Suited by good ground; 0-5 since switched to fences but posted a solid effort, behind a subsequent scorer, at Hereford (3m1f) most recently; defied a 3lb higher mark last April for sole hurdles success; could well open his chase account. |
4/1 |

2nd 1 |
18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won handicap hurdle debut at Chepstow (2m3f, good) at end of last season; launched chasing career with two thirds in the autumn (2m5f/2m7f, good) but he's struggled in his last two runs; has quite a bit to prove again and is untried at this trip. |
8/1 |

27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |

Won handicap hurdle debut here (2m3f, good) at end of last season and launched chasing career with two thirds in the autumn (2m5f/2m7f, good); things went pear-shaped very early on at Hereford this month and that run can be overlooked, but he still needs to prove himself on soft ground. |

Generally very disappointing since returning from long absence in the autumn but took step back in right direction when respectable fourth (just behind Onehundredneighty) at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) last month and remains very well handicapped. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |

Dual 2m3f chase winner at start of 2024 (heavy/good to soft) but out of sorts since returning from long layoff this season; reverts to hurdling on tempting mark but needs a revival. |

27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |

Began 2024 with two 2m3f Exeter wins and was subsequently placed over C&D; very well handicapped on those heroics but returned from long layoff with three disappointing runs this season and needs a revival; swaps usual cheekpieces for blinkers. |

12yo who has struggled at biggish prices in his two runs over 2m7f at Chepstow (tailed off/pulled up) this winter; dropped another 4lb but his last win was in April 2024 and he needs a major revival; stablemate of Camulus. |

27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |

Yet to add to his two soft-ground chase wins in early 2024 and is a 12yo now, but faced very tough task from out of the weights here on last month's seasonal debut and contests this easier race from a workable mark. |
14/1 |

2nd 4 |
23rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |

Clearly best efforts on soft going and, following two unseats, he was beaten 15l when fourth of five on good ground at Doncaster on latest outing; competitive on best form; stable also runs Fuji Flight. |

Lightly raced 11yo who isn't particularly solid, having failed to complete in three of his last four appearances; it remains a long time since his sole chase win; however, drops in grade off an attractive mark on best form. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |

Well handicapped on old form but he's not seen much action in recent years and has been pulled up or tailed off in his last three runs; this is only second start for current yard but he needs a major revival after another wind operation; cheekpieces added. |

0-10 and essentially disappointing since switched to fences in 2023; he didn't do badly when fourth on seasonal debut at Ffos Las (3m, soft; has gone well there before) in November but pulled up at Chepstow last month and consistency remains an issue. |

Won an Irish point two years ago; hasn't progressed under rules (including three chases but back hurdling last time) despite often being short in the betting; presumably thought capable of better and perhaps cheekpieces can bring him on. |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 5f 82y Class 5 |

27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |

Came good with ready win on seasonal debut at Lingfield (2m7f, good), despite jockey losing irons, and held clear lead before penultimate-fence fall over C&D (soft) last month; has to take a 6lb rise on the chin but still features prominently in calculations. |
