9th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won soft-ground course bumper in December and began hurdling career with two promising runs at Taunton (2m3f) this year, the latter a clear second on heavy ground last month; today's quicker conditions won't be a problem; respected. |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won good-ground point bumper last season and built upon fairly encouraging first run under rules when winning Plumpton bumper (soft) in December; promise when fifth of 13 on C&D hurdle debut (good to soft) last month; open to improvement. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won good-ground point bumper last season and built upon fairly encouraging rules debut when winning run-of-the-mill Plumpton bumper (soft) last month; has a future over jumps but probably needs to improve here. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Showed only minor promise on first three hurdling starts (2m-2m3f) but was placed in 13-runner course bumper on debut in November and has scope for improvement on this handicap hurdle debut. |
9/1 |
|
4th 6 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Placed in Chepstow bumper (good to soft) on debut in November but safely held on first two hurdling starts, more recently when fourth over C&D (heavy) a fortnight ago; improvement required. |

4th 6 |
12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Promising third on Chepstow bumper debut (2m, good to soft) in November but only seventh in a bumper and maiden hurdle at Exeter since; still early days with this one. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Fourth in her only bumper (April 2024) but beaten at least 30l in her four hurdles races, the latest when 80-1 for her handicap debut at Hereford (2m, good) five weeks ago; now has a second attempt beyond 2m. |

7th 8 |
7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Lightly-raced mare and she has offered little in her three hurdling runs to date, last of nine in 2m Chepstow maiden two weeks ago; needs this switch to handicaps to spark major improvement. |
25/1 |

9th 10 |
21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Made fairly encouraging debut in soft-ground bumper in 2024 but soundly beaten on both subsequent hurdling starts, the latter at Taunton (2m3f, heavy) nine days ago. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Poor in points and same story in first four runs over hurdles; much better effort when front-running fourth on handicap debut at Fontwell (2m5f, soft) last month but that was in a small field and this is a deeper race; needs to find more with cheekpeices added. |
12/1 |

14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Poor in points and started three-figure prices for four runs over hurdles to date, finishing tailed off in two starts since back from a year off; Dawn's Desire looks his trainer's best shout. |
