19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Broadly progressive form since November features two wins, including at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) latest start when doing it readily; may continue to improve; one to consider, despite going up a further 10lb and Harry Skelton preferring stablemate Tranquil Sea. |

1st 6 |
4th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Just one win from ten starts over hurdles but that came at Aintree (3m1f) in December and he bounced back with a creditable second at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft) last month; nudged up 2lb but he's still unexposed as a stayer and has possibilities back up in trip. |

15th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
In good form during the winter including a win at Aintree (3m1f, soft) in December; last month's Ascot effort (3m, good to soft) needs forgiving, but shortlisted if he can bounce back. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has form figures of 431122 since switched in handicaps and that latest second was a near-miss at Exeter (2m7f, good) 13 days ago; up another 3lb but he's versatile ground-wise and is open to more progress over staying trips; strongly respected with cheekpieces added. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 25y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won over C&D (good to soft) and then at Wincanton (3m, heavy) before coming up short in a higher grade (Class 3) at Newbury (3m, good to soft) but still ran well behind the favourite and was clear of the remainder; gets in off the same mark here; good chance. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 10 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Improving novice who bids to complete a hat-trick after handicap wins at Exeter (2m7f, good to soft) and Wincanton (3m, heavy) this year; moves up in grade but still needs to taken very seriously. |

3rd 8 |
4th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Irish point winner who looked a nice prospect when runner-up in a bumper at Exeter last February; hasn't set the world alight in five goes over hurdles this term but he kept on well when a 12l second in a Hereford handicap (2m6f, soft) in February; should have more to offer in this sphere and he needs watching in market on this step up to 3m2f. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 163y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Irish point winner who looked a nice prospect when runner-up in a bumper at Exeter last February but hasn't set the world alight in four goes over hurdles this term, admittedly at top tracks; maybe this switch to calmer waters can set him back on track. |
9/1 |
|
5th 4 |
2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won sole Irish point (chief victim is going places over hurdles) before finishing a close second in an Exeter bumper for this yard; he's had some serious defeats over hurdles at the top tracks since but a turnaround is very much on the cards now handicapping. |

1st 3 |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Point and hurdle winner on soft ground; has improved for the switch to fences, making it 2-2 with a strong staying performance over C&D last month, both wins coming under Freddie Gingell; up another 4lb, but he remains open to further progress and may well complete the hat-trick. |
5/4 |
|
1st 5 |
27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Point winner who was 1-8 over hurdles but he made a smooth transition to chasing when scoring over C&D (good; 13-2) three weeks ago; up 3lb but he travelled well for a long way last time and hit a personal best with that convincing success; interesting contender. |
6/4 |

1st 3 |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Landed a Southwell maiden hurdle (2m4f, soft) in March 2024; largely out of form in limited starts since but there were signs of a revival here (3m2f, good) last month in first-time cheekpieces; needs to back that up but could improve for this switch to fences. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Made all to exploit much-reduced mark over C&D in April and is only 3lb higher today but he's unreliable nowadays and was last of five at Plumpton (3m1f, good) on latest outing four weeks ago. |
8/1 |
|
5th 5 |
26th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Recorded his sixth hurdle win when making all off a reduced mark at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) in April, and his follow-up bid off this mark was respectable back there 20 days ago; capable off this mark but not without risk. |
9/2 |

4th 1 |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Recorded his sixth hurdle win when making all off a reduced mark over C&D (good; 4-1) three weeks ago; back up 4lb but remains well treated on old form and is versatile ground-wise; key player. |

13th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Triple hurdle winner who has dropped to an attractive mark but for good reason; tailed off over further here last month and, although this shorter trip is a plus, she has plenty to prove. |
12/1 |
|
4th 6 |
27th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Triple hurdle winner (2m2f-2m5f) in 2024 but she's struggled in last six runs and was pulled up here (3m2f) three weeks ago; has plenty to prove and needs a big turnaround back in trip. |
20/1 |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Triple hurdle winner (2m2f-2m5f) in 2024 but she's struggled in last five starts, including over C&D last month on her penultimate run; has plenty to prove and needs a major revival. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Off the mark at the sixth attempt over hurdles when justifying favouritism in a Wincanton handicap (3m1f, good to soft) last month; up 5lb but he stayed on strongly for that comfortable win and is open to more progress at this new trip; key player. |
5/2 |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
0-5 over hurdles but was nudged up only 2lb for his clear second to a progressive rival over C&D (heavy) last month and will be fine on today's faster ground; must be considered. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 |
14th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Kingston Hill gelding who is progressing with experience in this sphere, posting a good fourth of seven to Call Me Legend on his handicap debut at Exeter (2m7f, good to soft) last month; enjoys a 4lb weights pull here so is one to consider. |
