11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Accounted for Peckforton Hills when getting off the mark over hurdles at the 12th attempt at Doncaster (2m4f, Class 5 conditionals'; good to soft) in February; down the field (from 8lb higher) in a stronger contest at Newbury subsequently; now drops back into a more suitable looking novice. |
5/2 |

5th 9 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 183y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Runner-up in nine of his first 14 races, before finally off the mark when well backed for 12-runner handicap at Doncaster (extended 2m3f, good to soft) three weeks ago in second-time cheekpieces; drew 12l clear for that breakthrough but this 8lb higher mark seems to demand another step forward. |

0-14 but runner-up on nine occasions and he ran well for a long way in first-time cheekpieces (retained) here (3m, good to soft) in December before fading into fifth; could be in the mix now back down in trip. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Bumper winner; brings momentum into chase debut after three consecutive placed efforts over hurdles, in this headgear combination in his final two races (2m3f/3m); clearly a contender if taking to fences. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Bumper winner; beaten 5l on handicap debut at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) but more than double that margin when behind an easy winner at Doncaster (2m3f; tongue-tie added); lightly raced so retains potential and he's up in trip. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 12 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Bumper winner who was well backed when third of five to well-treated winner on handicap debut at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) recently; a tongue-tie is added to the cheekpieces adopted last time; open to further improvement and he's one to consider. |

Scored for the first time in two years at Newcastle (2m4f, good) four weeks ago; up 4lb and should not be far away in this follow-up bid. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |

Winless since May 2024 and he's not proving easy to catch right this season, a below-par sixth in 2m3f Carlisle handicap hurdle 20 days ago. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |

On a near two-year losing spell and isn't certain to confirm last-time placings with Ryebridge, who is less exposed; that said, again has an each-way squeak. |

11st 0lb |
The dead-heat victory and (off today's mark) a close fourth in 2m3f Carlisle 0-110s on his last two outings rate personal best efforts; more needed again up in class, and didn't convince over 3m in Irish points. |
8/1 |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |

Strong in the market and showed improved form when sharing the spoils with the reopposing Three Brothers in a C&D handicap (good to soft) 13 days ago; in the right hands to keep on improving. |

The form he showed last summer/autumn has been franked by the winners since; faded into fourth, seeming in need of the run, last month on handicap debut and return from break; worth another chance. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Productive spell from August 2024 to April 2025 over hurdles and on the Flat; has had some struggles in a light campaign this season but he showed signs of a revival at Stratford (2m6f, good) last month and has possibilities if he can build on that. |
7/1 |

4th 2 |
28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Productive spell from August 2024 to April 2025 over hurdles and on the Flat; Fontwell win over nearly 2m6f started that sequence but this season's three runs over hurdles were heavy defeats. |
16/1 |

5th 9 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 5 |

Productive campaign last season over hurdles and on the Flat; however, tailed off towards the end of last year on last two hurdle starts and he wasn't at his best back on the Flat early this month. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Hasn't quite built on a promising bumper debut since going over hurdles, including in a couple of handicaps; however, his recent 17l third when attracting support at Wincanton (2m4f, good) was more encouraging; easing in the weights and one to consider in a modest contest. |
9/2 |

3rd 2 |
1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Lightly raced 6yo but he has form figures of 6666 over hurdles and was beaten 34l on handicap debut at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) in February; dropped 3lb but he needs a transformation after a short break. |
12/1 |
|
6th 10 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Third in sole bumper (good) and has also shown ability when sixth (albeit without threatening) on all three hurdle starts (1m7f-2m3f, good/soft); this half-brother to the useful Ahorsewithnoname could have more to offer now moving into handicaps; in calculations, especially if strong in betting. |

11st 12lb |
Scored twice (around 2m4f) at Huntingdon and Southwell late in 2025 but off since a below-par seventh at Doncaster (2m3f) in January when also not looking the easiest of rides; needs to bounce back after a layoff. |
5/1 |

7th 11 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Underwhelming when mid-division at Catterick last month; however, he was in fine form previously, winning twice in the autumn (2m3f/2m4f, good/soft) and finishing second of 14 at Exeter (2m2f, soft) in December; major player if leaving last time behind. |
6/1 |

21st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |

In-form hurdler who is 2-4 in headgear since October, wins over about this trip at Huntingdon and Southwell (visored) followed by a keeping-on second of 14 in first-time blinkers at Exeter (about 2m2f, soft) last month; 1lb nudge won't stop him being a leading contender. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 5 |

Won under Jamie Gambin at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in November on second stable start and second outing since returning from long absence; seventh of nine at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) since but beaten just under 4l and that was a warmer race than this; could have a part to play. |

22nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Lightly raced point winner who showed promise under rules for Sandy Thomson and was second at Perth (2m4f, good) in July 2024 on his final run for that yard; however, has a hefty absence to defy on this stable debut. |
