4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Given wind surgery before handicapping on last three starts, on last two winning at Ascot (2m7f) in December and Doncaster (3m, again good to soft; from I Am Max) three weeks ago; the latter was by 7l from the front, since which he's been handed an 8lb rise but this 7yo retains potential. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 84y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Unexposed 7yo; off the mark when winning 2m7f novice handicap hurdle at Ascot in December (good to soft; second run after wind op); up 5lb, but progressive sort who should go well again. |

21st Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won an Irish point last February before his £175,000 sale; second at Leicester (good to soft) in November and fourth of nine at Ffos Las (heavy) in December, both over about 2m4f, and he'll probably stay 3m; a tongue-tie is added and he can still improve, which is needed. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Inconsistent this season and down the field at Haydock a fortnight ago; however, he ran pretty well when runner-up at Doncaster two starts ago and is 2lb lower than when a close fourth of 13 in this race last year; if he's on song in a first-time tongue-tie he might not be far away. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Short-headed on his only start here; won a Hexham chase in October; hasn't done as well since, finishing runner-up to Jakar Du Moulin when returned to hurdling at Doncaster (3m) on latest start but he needs to build on that markedly; stable in good form. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 84y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Won a Hexham novice handicap chase in October (2m4f); hasn't done as well since but reverts to hurdling off a feasible mark; this good ground suits and stable going well, so an interesting candidate. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Came good for current stable at Hexham (2m, good) last month, his second run in cheekpieces; up 4lb to career-high mark but will be suited by this move back up in trip and is evidently in good nick. |
5/1 |

1st 2 |
21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
In the frame in four of his last five starts at up to 3m, last time finishing a head second in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Market Rasen (2m4f, good); this drop in trip not sure to suit. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 4 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Didn't see out 3m when well-held third at Doncaster (good to soft) in March but ran well for a long way and is now back on same mark as for his clear second behind a useful rival there (2m3f, soft) in November; also suited by good ground; could be a tough nut to crack if aided by new cheekpieces. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 84y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Won at Southwell (3m, good to soft) and over C&D (good) in December and probably found the ground too soft when well beaten last time; on a career-high mark but a possible. |

21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Stepped up to this sort of trip for last four starts and won three of them, from the front at Southwell and Doncaster on last two occasions; those were all in pretty small fields, he has more to prove on soft ground (he did win a bumper on it to start career) and has been raised another 7lb, but this 6yo also has more to offer as a stayer. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
December's Doncaster second (3m, good to soft) suggested a sound future as a stayer, so it's disappointing he has not always seen out mostly shorter trips since, beaten 26l over almost 2m5f latest. |

19th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 145y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Just 1-8 over hurdles but returned to form with pretty good third at Fakenham (2m7f, good) last month and didn't run badly in competitive 2m4f race there a fortnight ago; can make his presence felt. |
14/1 |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Won small-field C&D (good) maiden in the autumn and put two disappointing runs behind him when third to Rialannah here (2m7f, good) last month; not yet fully exposed but others appeal more all the same. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Generally fast-weakening efforts since returning from a winter break, so the recourse to wind surgery is unsurprising; mark never lower, but effectiveness down at 2m4f hasn't been tested since March 2024. |
25/1 |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Three-time hurdles winner, most recently at Ayr (3m, good to soft) in April last year, but pulled up twice since returning from a break this spring and again ran below form when fifth of six, beaten 21l, at Huntingdon last month; best watched for now. |
12/1 |

19th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 10y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Pulled up on consecutive appearances towards end of last season but seemed to run well until tiring on soft ground at Ayr last time; could be better suited by the less-testing conditions here; not ruled out. |

10st 7lb |
Won two of his first three races over hurdles; the wheels have fallen off this year and he pulled up on his last two runs, latest in first-time cheekpieces (retained); a hood is now on for the first time. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won two four-runner novice hurdles on good ground last year, the first over just short of 3m; fair fifth on 2m5f Ascot handicap debut in November but weakened quickly when pulled up over 3m at Doncaster back from a break 19 days ago; first-time cheekpieces are reached for on the back of that. |
