2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Down the field last May/June in her two bumpers in Ireland for Edward Power; a transformation is needed on this hurdle/stable debut. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Pulled up on hurdle debut in January but placed twice at big odds since, more recently when 80-1 third (just behind Changemyluck) in race won by 300-1 outsider here (2m, good to soft) this month; can make his presence felt again. |

3rd 2 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
He's run four times and it was his best performance yet when 125-1 third in recent novice hurdle at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft); however, he was beaten 15l and needs another step forward today. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Displayed clear promise on both hurdling starts last season, more recently when fourth at Kelso (2m, good to soft) six weeks ago, and ought to play a significant role here; tongue-tie fitted for first time. |
4/1 |
|
4th 5 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Hint of promise in sole bumper (1m7f, good) and returned from absence to fill fifth of 14 at 40-1 on hurdle debut at Wetherby (2m, soft) in December; wind op since; the Wetherby form reads well and he's one to consider. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Promise on one of his three Irish Flat starts and, despite failing to settle and making mistakes, he won in a first-time hood (retained) on his hurdle/stable debut in a juvenile event over C&D (good to soft) in February; tougher task today but he's open to improvement in this code; respected. |
4/1 |

1st 7 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Displayed promise when fourth of eight at Killarney (1m3f, yielding to soft) last July on the second of his three Flat starts for John Murphy; brings potential to this first hurdle/stable start and it will be no surprise to see a good run, especially if strong in the betting; a hood goes on. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Didn't show much on her first two starts but there was more encouragement in a close sixth of ten in novice at Kelso (2m, good to soft; 300-1) last month; may improve further. |
9/1 |
|
6th 11 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |

Soundly beaten when seventh on both starts, most recently her hurdle and stable debut at Catterick (1m7f, good); others are preferred. |

4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |

Low-key debut for Sandy Thomson at Wetherby (2m NHF; 13-2, beaten 23l) in November 2024; returns from a 462-day absence for a different trainer for hurdles debut; likely to need more time. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |

Won a Carlisle bumper in October last year (2m1f, good) but hasn't done as well over hurdles (pulled hard when tailed off last time); looks one for handicaps. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Delivered on earlier promise when making all in good-ground Carlisle bumper in October; behind two of today's rivals when weakening seventh on hurdle debut here (2m, good to soft) this month but ran well for a long way and wasn't beaten far; can feature if that outing brought him on. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |

All three bumper starts on good ground; promising third on first two occasions before making all at Carlisle in October; he brings potential to this hurdle debut and could have a part to play. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 197y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Won at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) last spring but he's struggled in his last eight starts including over hurdles in last two runs; now 10lb lower than for his last success but he needs a big turnaround for new yard (has changed hands and left Mike Smith); hood removed and cheekpieces return. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |

Two Flat wins but form went the wrong way in that code from last August onwards and he was pulled up at 150-1 on hurdle debut four weeks ago. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Dual Flat winner; fairly useful at his best (1m-1m3f) but his form for Mike Smith since last summer has been disappointing, and the soft ground is a big worry on this hurdle debut; cheekpieces removed. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Runner-up on debut in bumper at Ayr (2m, soft) in November; hasn't progressed since but he's from a useful family his trainer has done well with, and he could give a good account on hurdle debut. |

3rd 4 |
23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Half-brother to stable's very useful jumper Elvis Mail, among others; promising second on debut over C&D (soft) in November; failed to build on that when soundly beaten third over C&D (heavy) last month but he's still in with a leading shout today. |
