2nd 1 |
4th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has form figures of 431122 since switched in handicaps and that latest second was a near-miss at Exeter (2m7f, good) 13 days ago; up another 3lb but he's versatile ground-wise and is open to more progress over staying trips; strongly respected with cheekpieces added. |

2nd 4 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 25y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won over C&D (good to soft) and then at Wincanton (3m, heavy) before coming up short in a higher grade (Class 3) at Newbury (3m, good to soft) but still ran well behind the favourite and was clear of the remainder; gets in off the same mark here; good chance. |
3/1 |

2nd 10 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Improving novice who bids to complete a hat-trick after handicap wins at Exeter (2m7f, good to soft) and Wincanton (3m, heavy) this year; moves up in grade but still needs to taken very seriously. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Off the mark at the sixth attempt over hurdles when justifying favouritism in a Wincanton handicap (3m1f, good to soft) last month; up 5lb but he stayed on strongly for that comfortable win and is open to more progress at this new trip; key player. |
5/2 |

1st 2 |
5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
0-5 over hurdles but was nudged up only 2lb for his clear second to a progressive rival over C&D (heavy) last month and will be fine on today's faster ground; must be considered. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 |
14th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Kingston Hill gelding who is progressing with experience in this sphere, posting a good fourth of seven to Call Me Legend on his handicap debut at Exeter (2m7f, good to soft) last month; enjoys a 4lb weights pull here so is one to consider. |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Yet to get his head in front and he didn't look the easiest of rides when a fair fourth of nine in 3m1f Warwick handicap 22 days ago, hanging left late on; still no forlorn hope off the same mark. |
9/2 |
|
4th 7 |
23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 5y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
No wins in eight but nearly put that right on soft at Ffos Las (3m) and drier ground put forward as an excuse here on New Year's Eve; with rain about, he has to be feared. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Course winner who was in good form until pulled up in 3m Chepstow handicap 19 days ago; he may have found that run coming too quickly so is worth another chance in refitted cheekpieces. |
4/1 |
|
10 |
26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Not always one to rely upon heavily but won at Exeter (2m5f, heavy) last month and stayed on for third (just behind Blue In The West) in big field there (2m7f, good to soft) nine days ago; could have a say. |
12/1 |

3rd 12 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Returned to form with 4l win here (2m5f, heavy) last month but was safely held when fourth over C&D (good to soft) 11 days ago and is not one to rely upon; others preferred. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Has a patchy profile but she made it 2-6 over fences when justifying favouritism here (2m4f, good) last month; up 6lb but that was a personal best last time and her other chase win came over this C&D; key player. |
2/1 |
|
1st 1 |
30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Making stable debut when scoring comfortably over 3m here in January (good to soft) but has to get back on track after three lesser efforts (the latest in a first-time visor). |
9/2 |
|
4th 9 |
15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won easily over fences at Ludlow (3m) in January on debut for this yard but nothing since, latterly with cheekpieces back on; now tries a visor; risky enough. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 136y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Lightly raced 7yo with bits of modest form, including in two of his four starts blinkered; weakened right out of it when upped to about 3m on latest outing, albeit on heavy going; two of his winning siblings have stayed. |
16/1 |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Lightly-raced 7yo who hinted at promise before posting an excellent fourth of 11 in 2m4f handicap here 16 days ago; he can make his presence felt eased 1lb. |
8/1 |
|
4th 6 |
29th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Struggled in bumpers and same story in three runs over hurdles (2m3f/2m4f); this is more realistic on handicap debut but he needs to show a lot more to get involved. |
12/1 |
