4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Dual 1m6f Flat winner; made inauspicious start to hurdling career but seemed very much to be getting his act together when keeping on to snatch second at Doncaster (2m, soft) 12 days ago, and promises to be suited by today's step up in trip; leading contender. |

10st 3lb |
4yo who was progressive at an ordinary level on the Flat in autumn; took a step forward when fourth at Wetherby (2m, soft) last month on third hurdle start but beaten 18l and needs another chunk of improvement. |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Irish point winner who showed promise on all three hurdling starts, perhaps most notably when third in Sedgefield maiden (2m4f, good to soft) last month; no surprise if he features on this handicap debut. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Irish point winner who made quite promising rules debut when fifth at Chepstow (2m, soft) in November; took backward step when well-held fourth at Taunton (2m3f, good) last month but still enters calculations here. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Made a promising chase/handicap debut when clear second at Sedgefield (2m, good; form well advertised by winner since) in March but three lesser efforts have followed and his tendency to race too freely remains a worry. |
7/1 |
|
6th 4 |
17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Below form on last two appearances and his tendency to race too freely remains a worry but he made a promising chase/handicap debut when clear second at Sedgefield (2m, good) in March and that form has been well advertised by the winner since; good claims if back at that level. |
9/2 |
|
4th 7 |
6th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Best run over fences when 3.25l second to Tanking Along (13lb worse off) at Sedgefield in March (2m, good); reportedly ran flat when well beaten at Southwell next time (2m4f, good); should fare better. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Lightly-raced maiden who came in a remote third over C&D in February; cheekpieces on when unseated rider at the third in a 2m novice here 22 days ago and he needs to take a big step forward. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Belied 200-1 odds when respectable fifth on hurdle debut here (2m4f, good to soft) last month but did not achieve a great deal when well-held third of four over that trip a fortnight later; drops back in trip with cheekpieces added today; improvement required. |
25/1 |

19th Feb 2026 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Tailed off in sole bumper and 22l behind Follow Your Luck when fifth of ten at 200-1 on recent hurdle debut over C&D (good to soft); lots of improvement is needed to turn the tables with his stablemate but at least that latest run gives him something to build on; not ruled out each-way. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Twice a runner-up in bumpers; failed to build on earlier promise in this sphere when pulled up on his handicap debut at Bangor (2m4f) three weeks ago; cheekpieces are retained and he could still do better for good yard. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |

Couldn't make a compelling case on this handicap debut and others preferred even if he is backed in the first-time cheekpieces. |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Point-to-point bumper winner (2m, soft) who landed two rules bumpers last season (1m7f/2m1f, good to soft); however, he's been unable to transfer that promise to hurdles on his two outings this term. |

4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Dual bumper winner last season (once here); lacked fluency and managed only fourth of five (behind Noble George) when 4-9 favourite for modest course maiden (2m1f, good) on seasonal/hurdle debut in November but returns from three-month break with tongue-tie fitted and ought to be capable of much better. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Finished third in a couple of Sedgefield bumpers but hasn't fared nearly so well over hurdles, earning a mark of 77; sticks to a non-handicap and needs major improvement for the first-time headgear. |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |

4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |

Not disgraced in two small-field course bumpers in the autumn but struggled when 80-1 for Newcastle maiden hurdle (2m1f, good to soft) three weeks ago; moves up in trip today. |

Runner-up on debut in a bumper at Hexham last March but unable to reproduce that form in a further two starts in bumpers and three over hurdles; this is his handicap debut, however, and he's well related. |
