19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Bagged a fourth success of the season at Chepstow (2m3f) in February; seemed unsuited by dropping back to 2m when a solid fourth of ten at Hereford 13 days ago and not out of things over this more suitable distance. |
12/1 |
|
4th 5 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Won three in a row in November/December (2m3f-2m4f) and scored at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) in February; well-held fourth eight days later at Ffos Las, possibly finding the quick turnaround too much; may resume progress, though the drop in trip is a slight concern. |

1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won three in a row in November/December (2m3f-2m4f) and took his form to another new level when battling on well to score at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) eight days ago; latest 4lb rise does not look excessive and further progress is not out of the question. |

21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
0-9 over hurdles but returned to form with creditable third over C&D (soft; usual hood removed) last month and has obvious claims if in the right mood again. |

3rd 9 |
27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |

Was running well in handicaps at about this trip early in 2025 but she hasn't got to grips with this season so far and was well back at Warwick after Christmas; now goes without regular hood. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Unexposed 5yo who was a good second on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) in January and he backed that up with a close fourth over C&D the following month; up another 2lb but he travelled strongly for a long way last time and is open to more progress; strongly respected with tongue-tie added. |

21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Displayed significant improvement when clear second to a next-time-out winner on last month's handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft); went up 4lb for his troubles but still commands respect. |
9/4 |

2nd 4 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Last of three on bumper debut and modest form at best in three 2m hurdles towards the end of 2025; hopes rest on a step up in distance for today's handicap debut. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 16y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Stayed on for very respectable fourth at Hereford (2m3f, good) this month, his second run in a visor, but is yet to be placed after 11 hurdling starts and needs to find something extra today. |
13/2 |

4th 8 |
7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |

21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |

Didn't run badly when fifth on heavy ground at Taunton (2m3f) last week but he's 0-9 over hurdles now and needs to be perked up by a change of headgear today. |

0-8 over hurdles but ran well in defeat at Warwick (3m1f, good) three weeks ago, albeit in what looked a modest race, and enters calculations here. |
11/2 |

2nd 8 |
4th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Nothing to show for four runs in handicaps and she's 5lb out of the weights here; what could help is the step up in trip from 2m4f. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

4lb wrong today in her fourth handicap and she has very ropey claims; maybe a move away from soft ground will help. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Bumper winner; cut little ice over hurdles but there were positives to take from chase debut at Ffos Las (2m3f, good to soft) where she made up some ground from off the pace; still needs more and Lunar Ocean was ahead of her last time. |
12/1 |

6th 4 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Lightly raced 8yo who may improve for this combination of switch to chasing and return to Ffos Las; sole course start resulted in bumper win in 2022 (peak form). |
14/1 |
|
7th 4 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Bumper winner who returned from a very long absence to make her handicap and stable debut at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) last month and ran well for a long way before fading into seventh of 12; could take a step forward now back down in trip and she's one to be interested in. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Runner-up over 2m5f here last April and returned to that sort of form when third over that trip at Exeter (good); she was beaten nearly 7l and is off the same mark here, but perhaps this longer trip is what she needs. |
10/1 |

7th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 137y Class 5 |

No improvement for the switch to handicaps and he's been tailed off at 80-1 on both attempts in this sphere (2m4f/2m3f, good to soft/soft). |

9th 10 |
21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Well-beaten 80-1 shot when upped to 2m4f for handicap debut at Plumpton (good to soft) in December; needs refitted hood to help him settle much better here; tongue-tie also added. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |

Ultimately disappointing over hurdles (0-12) but she has some competitive form off this sort of mark and a pointing background bodes well for this switch to fences. |
100/30 |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Three seconds among her minor honours but below form on last three outings, with tongue tied on last two; a leading contender if judged on her Southwell second (extended 2m4f, good to soft) in December. |
6/1 |

4th 4 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

Beaten a length over C&D (good to soft) in December but hard to trust after two heavier defeats (first-time tongue-tie last time); bit risky. |

11st 9lb |
Tailed off when 100-1 for last month's handicap hurdle debut here (2m3f, soft; raced too freely) but came second in good-ground Irish point last spring and was running well before falling in good-ground novice hurdle in the autumn; back on forecast decent ground today; no surprise if he features. |

21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |

21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Bumped into a improver when second on handicap debut at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) last March and held every chance before last-flight fall on seasonal reappearance there (2m6f, soft) in November; chasing has not gone to plan on her last two outings but she reverts to hurdling on a good mark and with a new visor fitted; big player if back on song. |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |

Low-mileage maiden who has hurdles form at Ffos Las; modest effort (last of three finishers) at Lingfield switched to chasing last time but may improve for that experience. |
5/1 |
|
4 |
19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 5f 192y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
0-4 over hurdles but looked suited by the step up in trip when keeping-on second behind an improver on handicap debut here (2m4f, good; first-time tongie-tie) in March; had wind op during eight-month break; open to more improvement if this stiffer stamina test suits. |
