18th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Rules wins (including one chase) came on soft or heavy but it was good ground when close up behind Streamsforth Lad over C&D last month; good chance. |

3rd 3 |
31st Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Her hurdle win was on soft and the chase win at Hereford two runs back on heavy; had luck on her side that day and was then beaten 10l off this mark at Leicester (good to soft); however, at least she's a recent winner and did win a point on good ground. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
2m6f soft-ground mares' novice hurdle winner at Uttoxeter in December 2024; struggled in a couple of handicap hurdles back from almost a year out, but made a winning chase debut, ridden by Darren Andrews, when left clear at Hereford (3m1f, heavy) last month; may have been lucky but respected off 2lb higher. |

11th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Seven-race maiden who has inconsistent form but may show improvement for this switch to fences and return to Hereford; has recorded his best hurdles RPRs at this venue. |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Lightly raced 7yo; tailed off on handicap/seasonal debut (2m7f, soft) but, although he clearly needs a good deal better still, his sixth of 11 at Hereford (3m2f, soft; 7-1) six weeks ago was more like it. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 149y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Scored over fences at Market Rasen (3m) in November but she's failed to go on and underwent breathing surgery (also fitted with cheekpieces) before coming in a well-held third of five at Exeter (3m) 20 days ago; reverts to hurdles with plenty to prove. |

3rd 3 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Well beaten on heavy ground last month (jumped poorly) but has generally done well over fences this season, most notably when winning at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) in November; likely contender if last month's wind op and/or first-time cheekpieces aid quick return to form. |

11th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Made the frame several times in British points; in reasonably good form at Sedgefield (2m1f/2m4f) since handicapping over hurdles; still a maiden but looks capable of being involved on chase debut. |
2/1 |

4th 6 |
25th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
0-8 in points and 0-5 under rules but looked suited by the step up in trip and ran big race from the front when second over C&D (good to soft) on Boxing Day; obvious contender if in similar form again. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Pulled up in his final run during winter but that was in the mud and he won by 7l over this trip at Exeter (good to soft) in December; looks interesting on that form and he needs a close look back from five months off. |
13/2 |

11th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Back in better form for new yard, notably an account-opening win over hurdles at Exeter and second-place finish at Huntingdon (2m7f, soft) returned to fences; hurdles mark is 7lb higher; fighting chance. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 8 |
22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Exeter hurdles winner (2m7f) on stable debut in November, before finding the follow-up bid coming too soon; still at the right end of the weights to improve on a chasing record of 649FP67, all for other yards. |
