3rd 4 |
18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Veteran who has won three of his last five starts and was as good as ever when scoring on the step up to 3m at Wincanton (good) last month; up 4lb but he should have more to offer over staying trips and he's an interesting contender. |
6/1 |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
In career-best form this season, winning here (2m4f, good) and at Taunton (2m3f, heavy); well beaten on latest outing, though, and remains on tough mark for first 3m attempt under rules. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
In-form 10yo who has won two of his last three; raised another 4lb since scoring under a good 7lb claimer at Taunton (2m3f, heavy) this month, though, and may find younger rivals better handicapped here. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Gently progressive in class 5 handicaps of late, again travelling well in posting a near-2l second at Taunton latest (2m3f, heavy); respected accordingly, but more needed up in class against in-form rivals. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Unexposed 7yo who travelled strongly for a long way when third of 11 on handicap debut at Wincanton (2m4f, heavy) on Thursday; big player if in similar form here. |
5/2 |

3rd 4 |
29th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Runner-up in soft-ground bumper at Exeter bumper last December but down the field in three hurdle races, including when tailed off at Exeter (2m, heavy) last month; still unexposed but she needs a transformation upped in trip on handicap debut. |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |

A fair 1m6f Flat winner but she's yet to match that form in this sphere and came in a below-par seventh in 2m3f handicap here 56 days ago; more is required. |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |

Modest form over hurdles but last week's C&D third of ten on heavy shows she can be competitive from her mark. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Ended last season with a breakthrough win at Taunton (2m3f) but she's offered little this season, a well-held sixth back at Taunton (3m) last month; not easy to make a case for. |
25/1 |

6th 6 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Experienced pointer who won a Taunton hurdle race (2m3f, good) off 1lb higher last March; returned to form when fourth over that C&D (heavy) last month but pulled up (reportedly lame) on chase debut four weeks ago; unraced beyond 2m5f under rules. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |

Experienced pointer who won a Taunton handicap hurdle (2m3f, good) off 1lb higher in March; returned to form when fourth over that C&D (heavy) three weeks ago; could be interesting on this chase debut under rules. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Maiden who is one of the lesser lights at his major yard and has failed to complete in two starts since switched to fences; on a positive note, reproduction of best hurdles form would give him place claims. |
11/2 |

1 |
27th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-9 over hurdles but he was runner-up off 1lb higher at Wincanton (3m) in March; fell four out on chase debut at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last month but he was close up in fourth when he departed; has claims if he can avoid any mishaps this time and he's in the mix for in-form yard. |
9/2 |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
0-9 over hurdles; did finish second in a 3m Wincanton handicap (good to soft) last month but only sixth back there since; switches to fences in a bid to get straight back on track for leading stable. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Looked as good as ever when winning readily by 7l at favourite track Taunton (2m3f, good) three weeks ago and is now 3-19 over hurdles; 7lb higher here but still respected in current mood. |
5/1 |
|
1st 8 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Landed a 'hands and heels' event over C&D in March and respectable efforts in two subsequent starts, latterly when second off this mark at Exeter (about 2m2f, also good; Green Sky tailed off) on Friday; on the premises again if this doesn't come too soon. |
5/1 |

2nd 7 |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 111y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Multiple Flat winner at up to 1m6f and dual hurdles winner at up to 2m3f; goes well on a sound surface; 6lb higher than when scoring at Taunton on his penultimate start; beaten more than 9l when unpenalised at Plumpton latest, but should be competitive. |

Bumper/hurdle winner in France; two fair efforts with cheekpieces on his last two runs over hurdles; needs to improve on chase debut. |

3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Bumper/hurdle winner in France in autumn 2022; pulled up in two British handicap hurdles last year but, following a wind op, ran well for a long way when fifth at Leicester (1m7f, heavy; first-time cheekpieces) a fortnight ago; back up in trip with tongue-tie refitted today; a possible. |

Bumper/hurdle winner in France in autumn 2022 but not seen again until pulled up in two British handicap hurdles last year; had wind op in November and now sports cheekpieces; big leap of faith required to support him. |

8th 10 |
3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Won Clonmel handicap (2m4f, soft) just over a year ago but has looked out of sorts on all four hurdle/chase starts for new stable since the autumn, and it takes a leap of faith to support him here. |

20th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |

Placed in two maiden hurdles for Colin Tizzard in early 2021 and subsequently won two slow-ground chases in France; makes stable debut after 728-day absence, though, and his current ability is very hard to gauge. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 16y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Disappointed when made favourite at Taunton (2m3f, heavy) last month, after a layoff, but is now 6lb lower than when placed in first-time cheekpieces at Stratford (2m2f, good to soft) just over a year ago, and can rebound on the less testing ground here. |

0-7 over hurdles; absent since placed in first-time cheekpieces at Stratford (2m2f, good to soft) last March and not sure to be suited by the slower ground here but it's interesting that Sean Bowen is booked again. |
