19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Doesn't help himself by tending to race too freely but got off the mark over fences at fifth attempt, with front-running success at Ludlow (2m4f, good) last month; 5lb rise is offset by Jay Tidball's claim here, and this drop back in trip won't be a problem; respected. |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper winner who picked up maiden and novice hurdles (about 2m1f; good to soft and good) last term; beaten a combined 62l despite finishing second in three of his four subsequent chases but still looks a work in progress and his latest effort offered hope he might be putting it together; weakened on his one try at this sort of trip under rules. |

29th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Winner of a point, a bumper and twice over hurdles; did far too much early when second of three on his chase debut at Ffos Las (2m3f, good) in May, but the form of that race has worked out well and this sharp 2m may prove ideal; has won after a much longer absence. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Has registered his hurdles/chase wins in Class 4, including comfortably at Bangor (2m1f) last time when looking better than ever; something to prove in this better grade but receives weight all round and could go well in current form. |

1st 5 |
23rd May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |

Got off the mark over fences at Ludlow (2m4f, good to firm) last October and has been placed on all five starts since; drops back in trip which may not be in his favour. |

3rd 4 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Triple hurdle winner who made the breakthrough over fences in a Ludlow handicap (2m4f, good to firm) in October; that was a four-runner race but he's been placed in four runs since including when runner-up at Chepstow (2m7f) 11 days ago; should go well again and all of his wins have been on good/good to firm. |

Yet to make any further progress since winning a 2m Ludlow novice in March 2025 but posted a sound effort when second off today's mark at Hereford (2m, good) last month and is work another crack at this sort of trip. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Safely held on last month's chasing debut at Ludlow (2m4f, good) but that came after a 489-day absence and she's well handicapped on old hurdling form; no surprise if she gets closer to the target today. |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Bumper (AW) and maiden hurdle winner for Alan King but she didn't progress; wore a tongue-tie when fair fifth on debut for this yard in November 2024 and she built on that in added cheekpieces when close second of four at Newcastle (also about 2m4f, good) a fortnight later; makes chase debut after 489 days away with the market likely to offer some clues. |

took keen hold, raced in third, good jump 3 out, challenging 2 out, led narrowly last, ridden run-in, no extra final 110yds, headed towards finish |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Both wins over hurdles came at Fontwell; having just her second go over fences when solid sixth in well-contested mares' handicap at Cheltenham (about 2m4f, good to soft) in December; disappointed at Huntingdon over further next time but had wind surgery shortly afterwards and might be worth another chance dropped back in trip. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Almost denied Easy To Follow in a heavy-ground hurdle once, but best figures win or lose have been returned on no worse than the good to soft of last month's tidy 5l sixth in a Cheltenham mares' 0-125; still early days for her as a chaser, appears to jump fine and holds strong claims. |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Lightly raced 7yo who landed a Chepstow novice hurdle (good to soft) in November 2024 and it was a respectable start over fences when third back there (also 2m, good; mistake last) just over one year later; pulled up after he sprawled on landing around halfway at Hereford next time; still has stamina to prove but a clear round should see him competitive. |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Inconsistent, lightly raced 7yo who was pulled up at Hereford (2m5f, soft) in January when last seen; however, his sole hurdle win came here (2m, good to soft) and he was an encouraging third over C&D (good) in November on his chase debut; interesting now back here and back down in trip, provided the ground suits (effective on good/good to soft, unproven on soft). |
