10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 103y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Resumed his progress with a clearcut success in novice handicap at Newbury (2m3f, good to soft) last time; has failed to shine in two Graded attempts over hurdles but may prove a brighter spark back at Aintree, having performed well (fifth of 15) in Grade 2 bumper at this meeting 12 months ago; has won over 2m. |

12st 0lb |
Met with heavy defeats in a Grade 1 three starts back and a Grade 2 on latest but progressive form in his other three hurdle races, second of five in a handicap at Doncaster (extended 2m3f) on penultimate outing; needs to resume progress. |

Fifth in Grade 2 bumper at Aintree last spring and, bar one blip, has made a good impression over hurdles, winning at Doncaster (2m, soft) in November and pulling clear of the third when runner-up in handicap there (2m3f, soft) 16 days ago; that form sets the standard and he commands respect. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 183y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Ran at Hereford for bumper win and both hurdle races, comfortably on top in a 2m4f maiden (soft; worst result was on good) last time; this handicap debut demands plenty more but he's lightly raced and should retain potential. |

Won bumper here (2m, good to soft) on debut in December 2024; made a pleasing start to his hurdling career when runner-up here (2m, good to soft) last month; should be suited by this step up in trip and must be on the shortlist. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Musselburgh maiden hurdle winner (2m4f, soft) who bounced back from being pulled up in a Grade 2 at Kelso when a respectable fourth of nine on handicap debut at Newbury (2m3f, good to soft) last month; it's possible this drop back in trip will be a positive and he's a key player. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 183y Class 3 |

Won maiden at Musselburgh (2m4f, soft) in December and good second at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) next time; pulled up at Kelso three weeks ago but he was 28-1 in that Grade 2 and retains some interest for this handicap debut. |

Won four-runner maiden at Musselburgh (2m4f, soft) in December on second hurdle start and solid second to Kosac d'Oudairies at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) last time; however, he's down today's pecking order on form. |

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 |

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. |

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

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. |

3rd 8 |
11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Won a C&D novice (soft) in November and was a good second in a Newbury handicap (2m, good to soft) in January; looks interesting on that form but he's taken backward steps on his last two starts and is now 1-8 over hurdles. |
6/1 |
|
6th 7 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 183y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Has seen much more action than most of this field and took a novice at Chepstow (2m, soft) in November; second in handicap here (2m, good to soft) was the clear best of his last three outings (seemingly stretched by 2m4f the time before) and this looks a competitive mark, but his hurdling score is 1-7 and he may well prove vulnerable to an improver. |
8/1 |

6th 5 |
21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Won soft-ground C&D novice event in November and returns here after good second in Newbury handicap (2m, good to soft) last month; likely to be right in the thick of things again. |

Dual novice winner but came up well short at Newbury (2m3f) on handicap debut most recently and can be opposed in this competitive field. |
40/1 |
|
7th 6 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 183y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
0-3 in bumpers but he's won two of his four hurdle races and been runner-up in the others; second at Taunton (good) on penultimate start showed he stays 2m3f, before his narrow win at Exeter (2m, heavy) on latest; makes handicap debut on a reasonable mark. |
14/1 |

1st 2 |
20th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Made a winning hurdling debut at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to soft) in October and has bettered that form twice since under a penalty, most recently when a 3l second at Taunton (2m3f, good) last month; should be competitive again back in trip if coping with more testing ground. |

Won a bumper at Fontwell (2m1f, good) last May and followed up on hurdle debut over C&D (good to soft) in December; however, he's been pulled up/well beaten in his first two handicaps and needs to get back on track. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 183y Class 3 |

Won a maiden at Plumpton (2m5f, good to soft) in December on hurdling debut; put firmly in his place next time, while appearing to run creditably, and needs to bounce back from a poor show on handicap debut at Fontwell (near 2m2f, heavy) four weeks ago; early days but markedly better is needed. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 183y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Possibly best left-handed; either way, he ran poorly at right-handed Huntingdon last time, when some moderate jumps did not help; tongue tied that day (but not today) and had wind surgery soon afterwards; consistent form over hurdles before that run but needs better on this handicap debut. |
4/1 |

5th 1 |
5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 137y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Has gained all wins on left-handed tracks and jumped that way when an otherwise creditable third in Listed event at right-handed Sandown (2m, soft) last time; again goes clockwise, which doesn't look ideal, and needs progress on ratings; tongue-tie fitted. |
