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. |

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. |

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 May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
A prolific winner in points, he got off the mark under rules at Taunton (3m, good) last month; 5lb higher but looks the type that can go in again. |
4/1 |

1st 5 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
0-14 under rules but 6-9 in points; second in two handicap hurdles over about 2m6f at Exeter this year, which saw him start 11-10 favourite for five-runner race over C&D (good) 13 days ago but he clipped heels and unseated in the early stages; that was the race won by Gasmani; should give him a lot more to think about this time, barring mishaps. |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Remains winless under rules but he was a multiple points winner after leaving Paul Nolan in Ireland and has started well for his new yard, a strong-travelling second of 11 in 2m6f handicap hurdle at Exeter 23 days ago; can go one better here. |

19th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
1-12 as a chaser; good and bad in his last six races over hurdles, finishing tailed off in the last two; risky. |

11th 12 |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
2m4f hurdle and 2m7f chase winner (once each) from 35 races; his last win was in 2024 but bits of form this year, including penultimate start, give him an each-way chance. |
10/1 |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
2m4f hurdle and 2m7f chase winner (both good to soft); has struggled with consistency, but a leading player if reproducing his latest third of eight at Exeter last month. |

18th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Best effort when placed in a soft-ground bumper; yet to show much over hurdles, given wind surgery before penultimate start and making his handicap debut when remote on latest (both at about 2m5f); upped in trip again, with first-time cheekpieces. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Has failed to kick on sent handicapping, beating only one at Wincanton (2m4f) 22 days ago; needs to take a big step forward if he's to get off the mark at the seventh attempt. |
14/1 |

11th 6 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Displayed significant promise in two slow-ground maidens here (1m7f) in January and ran much better than eventual 60l defeat suggests on last month's handicap debut at Exeter (2m5f, heavy); not out of this if the much quicker surface suits. |

13th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Two creditable efforts since returning from a short break, latest when a close fourth over 2m1f here last month off this mark; stays this far and enters calculations. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Beaten under 10l when seventh in recent C&D (good) contest won by Cogital and continues to slip down the weights, but has not been firing on all cylinders in recent months and needs to up his game. |

20th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 5f 137y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made a bright start to last year with a good second over C&D on New Year's Day, but his form has taken a marked downturn since and recent efforts have been poor; new headgear needs to spark a revival. |
50/1 |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Won on soft ground at Fontwell in a hurdle race in 2021 and a 3m2f chase in 2023; however, there was an echo of that in only one (runner-up in January last year) of his eight starts for current yard. |
25/1 |

7th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Belied triple-digit odds when second over hurdles here (2m5f, soft) on seasonal debut in January but two disappointing runs have followed and it's hard to know what to expect from him on this return to fences; refitted blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
20/1 |
