28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
7yo who made it 2-4 over fences when completing a double at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft; first run after wind surgery) last month; up 3lb for that narrow success but he beat a clear second and is open to more progress in this sphere; respected. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Bumper winner in 2024; on the up in three starts over fences and off the mark in four-runner Doncaster handicap (3m, soft; second has won since) one month ago, after which he had wind surgery; 3lb nudge should be no bother and he's a big player. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Bumper winner in 2024; has yet to shine over fences but only had the two attempts and he was runner-up off a higher mark over hurdles; should come good in this discipline sooner or later and his yard is having winners. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Four-time winner over fences including here (about 2m 3f, good) in 2024; last ran over hurdles when second at Wincanton (about 3m, good to soft) and he returns to this sphere after a couple of errors at Plumpton last month; respected. |

3rd 2 |
16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Four-time chase winner (2m3f/3m1f) in 2023 and 2024, two of them here, and shaped promisingly on hurdles return in December after a long absence; left behind a below-par run over fences later that month with a short-head defeat at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) last month; back up 2lb but needs respecting with course form. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Won three out of four chases in October-December 2024 (including C&D, good to soft; handles softer) and was an encouraging second over hurdles here (about 3m) on his comeback from a year's absence; return to fences didn't go well at Taunton later that month but could bounce back following two months off. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Chased home one who was on the middle leg of a five-timer in Ascot novice handicap hurdle (about 3m, good to soft) in November but ran poorly in similar event back at that track one month later; same mark for this chase debut and untried on softer than good to soft but he's still respected. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Had three starts for Nicky Henderson; comfortably held in two runs for current yard, the latest his handicap debut over 3m at Ludlow (good to soft; beaten about 8l); down only 2lb. |
7/1 |

4th 5 |
23rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Had three starts for Nicky Henderson, finishing with second to an impressive winner in C&D maiden (good to soft) and he just holds third-placed Swift Jet on that result; forgiven his 2m5f run for new connections last month and this test should suit on handicap debut. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Dual chase winner in France in 2021 (2m1f/2m3f); lightly raced in recent years but best run for this stable when fair fourth at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) in December on his return from a big absence; pulled up in a similar contest at Warwick last month and it's not easy to know what can be expected despite stable being in better form now. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 100y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Dual chase winner in France in 2021 (2m1f/2m3f); very lightly raced in recent years but returned from latest long layoff with fair fourth at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) last month and remains unexposed over this trip. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
0-10 and essentially disappointing since switched to fences in 2023; he didn't do badly when fourth on seasonal debut at Ffos Las (3m, soft; has gone well there before) in November but pulled up at Chepstow last month and consistency remains an issue. |

27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
0-9 and essentially disappointing since switched to fences in 2023, but he ran quite well when fourth on seasonal debut at Ffos Las (3m, soft) and is well handicapped if judged on last season's placed form. |
