5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Came good over hurdles at ninth attempt, keeping on well for Daniel Williams at Hereford (2m3f, good) last month; only 3lb higher here and further progress is possible; respected. |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Went close in a 2m course handicap (good to soft) off just 1lb lower last winter; weakened approaching the last as if probably just needing her first outing for 11 months when fourth over an extended 2m4f at Southwell 33 days ago; should be spot on now. |

0-7 over hurdles; returned to form with close/clear second at Hereford (2m, good to soft) in December 2024, after a break, but not quite at same level at Doncaster last March and absent for another 11 months since. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Bang there in 2m3f/2m6f handicaps (good) in March and feasible excuses since then, as he was pressured up front two runs back and perhaps failed to stay 3m last time; now 0-23 under rules but one to bear in mind. |
8/1 |

6th 5 |
10th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Now 0-20 over hurdles but was bang there in 2m3f/2m6f handicaps (good) in March and when beaten nearly 20l the last time he got pressured up front; unlikely to be far away. |
5/1 |

3rd 6 |
16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
0-19 over hurdles, which could be the bottom line, but he's been placed on four of his six starts this season, on last two occasions finishing runner-up on good ground over C&D and Stratford's 2m6f; wore cheekpieces on last three starts; looks set to be seriously involved again. |

0-16 over hurdles but won from the front over fences at Hereford (2m, good) and was subsequently placed over C&D (good); not quite in same form on latest outing in July but still enters calculations. |

5th 8 |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
0-16 over hurdles but came good over fences at the third attempt, making most at Hereford (2m, good); jumped to her left that day but to her right when beaten 4l at Worcester since; still ran well and she's in the mix. |
3/1 |

3rd 9 |
17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
0-16 over hurdles but came good over fences at third attempt, making virtually all at good pace at Hereford (2m, good) six weeks ago, despite jumping slightly left throughout; 4lb higher here but this switch to an anti-clockwise track looks the right move. |

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. |

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. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Launched handicap career with two low-key 2m runs but her third behind a much improved mare at Hereford (2m3f, good to soft) last month was much better and she ought to cope if the ground is slower here; high on the list. |
11/2 |

10th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 5 |

Made fairly encouraging debut when third of six in C&D (heavy) junior hurdle in January; safely held on next two outings and needs significant improvement on this handicap debut but booking of Sean Bowen adds interest. |

10st 2lb |
0-8 over hurdles, including four non-completions; responded well to first-time cheekpieces when close second at Warwick (3m2f, good) last month but that was a modest race; others here are more persuasive. |
7/1 |

2nd 6 |
26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
0-8; achieved closest finish yet when sixth of 11 at Hereford (2m3f, good) recently, beaten just over 7l on that third handicap start; wears first-time cheekpieces and has major claims in a race very much lacking depth. |

Low-mileage 7yo who took a step forward when second of six in C&D handicap last month; she can go well again nudged up 1lb. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Low-mileage 7yo who made quite encouraging handicap debut when fourth at Huntingdon (2m, heavy) last month; didn't build on that effort at Hereford (2m3f, good) nine days ago but a mid-race jumping error seemed to knock her out of her rhythm there, and she remains open to improvement over this sort of trip now she's back on slower ground. |
8/1 |

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

Made quite an encouraging start to her handicap career when fourth of nine over 2m at Huntingdon (heavy) 16 days ago; player if she can build on that but she does tend to race keenly so could do with settling a bit better now stepping up in trip. |

Defied this mark in a handicap chase at Ludlow (2m, good) in November but has struggled since, including over hurdles here (2m4f, good) 11 days ago; record is now 1-17 and he needs a major revival back over fences. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |

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

An opening mark of 95 looks tough on the bare form of her qualifying runs but she has fewer convictions than most of these and rates a potential improver in handicaps; interesting contender, particularly if backed. |

Has shown only the odd sign of ability over hurdles and pulled up on chase debut last month; 5lb out of the handicap back hurdling; cheekpieces (tried once) join the tongue-tie of last three starts. |
