6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 109y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Low-mileage 7yo whose sole start at Exeter resulted in his only hurdles win (2m); ran well at the weights in Doncaster contest (2m3f, soft) switched to fences last time; looks well treated off his unchanged mark back in a handicap and is open to progress in this sphere to boot; respected. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 31y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Lightly raced 7yo who won a 2m maiden hurdle at Exeter in December 2024; however, he failed to progress subsequently and considerable improvement is needed on this chase debut, following some time off. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Delivered on earlier chasing promise when winning four-runner Plumpton contest (2m4f, good) by 22l in April; no match for progressive rival when second of four at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last month but was badly hampered by a mid-race faller there and might be allowed an uncontested lead here. |

2nd 1 |
13th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Only his third run over fences when strolling home in a small field at Plumpton (2m4f, good); hit with a 7lb rise but his last win over hurdles was off only 3lb lower; good chance. |

1st 1 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Fine on all ground; well handicapped on his peak form over hurdles and has only raced twice as a chaser; no match for the winner at Exeter last time (2m1f) but that horse was favourite and unexposed; respected. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 109y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Four wins (2m/2m5f) over hurdles, the last one off 2lb higher; 0-8 since switched to fences but ran well at Ludlow (2m4f, soft) most recently, pulling clear of the third; fighting chance. |
9/4 |

2nd 4 |
18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 11y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Didn't run badly when fourth of nine at Windsor (2m4f, soft) last month and she continues to edge down the weights; however, she needs something extra today's if she's to break her chasing duck at the eighth attempt. |
11/1 |

4th 5 |
16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 42y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Has slipped to 2lb below last winning hurdles mark but seems far from certain to take advantage, being a fairly exposed mare who has failed to show her form in two starts this season, taking chase record to 0-6; faces some progressive opponents. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 109y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Has a record of 1-1 at Exeter (hurdles win) but needs to rebound, having performed below market expectations in two starts since Warwick chase success, failing to back up that form. |
7/2 |
|
4th 2 |
23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Three-time hurdle winner who built on encouraging seasonal/chase debut when readily winning three-runner C&D (soft) contest in November; raced too freely and was disappointing favourite at Ascot last month but remains one to be interested in. |
11/4 |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Three-time winner over hurdles from eight attempts; made his chasing debut in a warm affair at Worcester (2m4f, good; winner won a Listed race at Cheltenham on Friday) last month and shaped well in fourth, only giving best at the last; should benefit from that outing and this is easier. |
