22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-7 over hurdles; ran well when third (albeit safely held) in higher-grade event at Kempton (2m5f, good) in November but two lesser efforts have followed and the ground here is likely to be slower than he prefers. |
10/1 |

4th Nov 2025 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Made inauspicious start to hurdling career in March 2024, unseating rider when trying to refuse at third flight, but his second of 14 here (2m3f, good) the following month was much more promising and he returned from long absence with perfectly respectable run last month; makes handicap debut today; further improvement possible |

14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Beaten a long way by the winner in a C&D handicap a few weeks ago in which the market leaders came to grief and he didn't achieve much; not many miles on the clock given his age, however. |
4/1 |

2nd 5 |
22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Still very unexposed but didn't show any significant promise in three maiden/novice hurdles (2m4f-2m5f) and connections have a much more obvious chance with Local Derby. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Course bumper and hurdle winner who won Plumpton handicap hurdle off 18lb higher last April; subsequent starts over fences didn't go well and he resumes chase career having been well held over hurdles on last three starts. |
8/1 |
|
4th 3 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
He's had a disappointing season, initially over fences and more recently over hurdles, and has something to prove; however, he's now 10lb lower than when winning over C&D (good) last April and can't be written off; monitor the betting. |
7/1 |
|
4th 6 |
9th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Chasing did not go well this season (three runs) but he ran well until tiring on heavy ground over hurdles at Fontwell (2m5f, heavy) recently and is now 6lb lower than for an emphatic C&D win on good ground last April. |

8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Put in pretty good front-running shift when third over C&D (good to soft) 12 days ago but he's a lot more exposed than some of these, and his two hurdling wins were gained on heavy ground. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 8 |
27th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Tailed off last time but had appreciated the return to hurdles with a second here (beaten 16l) before a 3l success at Lingfield (2m, heavy); he's able on good to soft ground if he can shrug aside that poor last run. |
7/1 |
|
4th 6 |
22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Badly out of form over fences last season but made all in a five-runner hurdle race at Lingfield (2m, heavy) this month, after a layoff, and remains on a good mark after 3lb rise; unexposed over this sort of trip; big player if able to build on that recent performance. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Good-ground 3m point winner who scored at Wincanton (2m4f, heavy) in January on second handicap start, and after an early unseat at Fontwell (jumped path) he returned to winning ways at Exeter (2m7f, good to soft) three weeks ago; this progressive 6yo has leading claims up 6lb for last time. |

1st 7 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Always behind on handicap debut in December but scored at Wincanton (2m4f, heavy; well backed) the following month, despite still looking green in closing stages; suffered a mishap on latest outing but could still have untapped potential over staying trips and remains of strong interest. |
4/1 |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Always behind on handicap debut in December but rewarded good market support at Wincanton (2m4f, heavy) last month, despite still looking green in closing stages; recent 4lb rise is not excessive and he can improve again. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Two wins this season, the latter at Lingfield (2m7f, heavy) in February; disappointed on latest outing and will have something to prove if the ground remains good but Sean Bowen is a good booking. |
12/1 |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Scored over C&D (good to soft) on seasonal debut in October and doubled his tally at Lingfield (2m7f, heavy) this month; still has a lowly mark after recent 5lb rise and ought to make his presence felt. |
3/1 |

5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Another small personal best RPR when last of two to finish in a dramatic Fontwell contest over Christmas (2m3f; winner won again next time); mere replication of previous best on slower ground won't suffice. |

9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Well beaten in all three chases last season and also out of form over hurdles this term; considered only if lively in the betting. |
16/1 |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Three-time hurdle winner; safely held on both outings (cheekpieces refitted last time) since returning in November from a break but suited by slow ground and might be perked up by first-time blinkers; worth a glance in the betting. |
11/1 |
|
4th 11 |
22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Inconsistent last season and well beaten on both outings this term; however, he may have needed his latest run in November and won this two years ago; not written off. |
14/1 |
