24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Rampant in sub-3m good-ground hurdle races and chases last summer, and has the beating of Yippee Ki Yay on a line through Macklin, whom he trounced at Exeter last time (3m, good); still fairly lightly raced over this sort of trip, and drying forecast rates a big plus. |

7th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 54y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
Bought out of Olly Murphy's yard for £26,000; on the retreat but had run well when falling three out at Taunton in January and was close up behind respected opposition in his latest point; could go well. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Kicked off for this yard with three wins in handicap chases and added a 2m4f novice hurdle at Worcester; not sure what happened back there last time in a handicap hurdle but it wasn't his true form; does have to carry a penalty. |

7th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 54y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
7-11 in points and his rules form is useful, having finished third at Cheltenham last May and winning as he liked here last month; looks the one to beat. |

1st 8 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Multiple point winner who was very respectable third of five at Cheltenham (3m2f, good) last spring and was clear winner of good-quality open point at Badbury Rings (3m, good) when back in action last month; looks the one to beat here. |

raced in last but in touch with leaders, went fourth after 10th, disputing second when hit 15th, outpaced after 3 out, stayed on run-in |

13th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Beaten between 17l and 33l in his last three hunter chases, getting outpaced at trips from 2m5f to 3m1f; tongue-tie is now added; probably playing for minor money. |

3rd 2 |
1st May 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Outpaced on all four starts this year, latterly in hunter chases at Stratford (2m5f) and Exeter (3m), on which evidence the marathon on this card might have been a more comfortable fit; others are more persuasive. |
20/1 |

3rd 8 |
7th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 54y Class 4 |

Won over hurdles in 2023 for the Hobbs/White operation; beaten in two points before finishing well held at Stratford recently. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
His second success over fences came at this track (2m6f, good) last June; has been beaten in hunter chases/points since and makes stable debut; may be better suited by 3m but not out of this. |

4th 2 |
7th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 54y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
18-1 when pulled up in Macklin's race here last month and only third of four runners in subsequent point. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Won Class 4 Stratford handicap (2m6f, good) last June and returned from layoff with creditable second in Wincanton hunter chase (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; that form puts him on the premises here and he stays 3m perfectly well but he's far too inconsistent to rely upon. |

Only 2-34 in points and has struggled badly in that scene this year; no appeal. |

2nd May 2025 Good 4m 0f 97y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Saw out 3m4f pretty well when 7l second to comfortable winner Norton Hill in good-ground point in March but well beaten in small-field Exeter hunter chase on last month's rules debut; looks up against it. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Landed back-to-back Fontwell and Wincanton staying handicap chases three years ago (good to soft); blameless exit behind Stumps Or Slips latest (hampered) but capable of throwing in his own errors or jumping right; form of this year's completed efforts falls well short of the required. |

7th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 54y Class 4 |

Four wins under rules divided between hurdles and fences but at an ordinary level; 66-1 when tailed off behind Macklin here last month. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Dual handicap winner in 2023 but last year's point/hunter chase form was uninspiring and he was a long way behind Crawter when reappearing in a Larkhill point this month. |
