18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Has a patchy record but he made it 2-10 over hurdles when justifying support at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) in November; 6lb higher on his return but that was a comfortable success and he looks worth a try at this new trip; not ruled out. |

Point, bumper and maiden hurdle winner who is on a reduced mark; however, he failed to shine in handicap hurdles last season and was tailed off on last month's chase debut at Perth. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Four good efforts from as many starts for current connections, though once again wasn't quite able to convert a winning opportunity at Huntingdon latest (3m1f, good to firm); fair claims off an unchanged mark, and ought to cope with any rain. |

3rd 6 |
19th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 10y Class 3 |

Without a win since summer 2024 and not getting any younger but runner-up three consecutive times (2m7f-3m1f; once over fences) for new stable towards end of last season; probably won't be far away. |

3rd 4 |
18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Veteran who has won three of his last five starts and was as good as ever when scoring on the step up to 3m at Wincanton (good) last month; up 4lb but he should have more to offer over staying trips and he's an interesting contender. |
6/1 |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
In career-best form this season, winning here (2m4f, good) and at Taunton (2m3f, heavy); well beaten on latest outing, though, and remains on tough mark for first 3m attempt under rules. |
16/1 |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
In-form 10yo who has won two of his last three; raised another 4lb since scoring under a good 7lb claimer at Taunton (2m3f, heavy) this month, though, and may find younger rivals better handicapped here. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Ex-Nicky Henderson; just 1-10 over hurdles and has struggled with consistency but he ran well to finish third at Hereford (3m2f; first-time blinkers) last month; ties in with Dwight K Schrute on that form and has claims if he can back that up. |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |

Ex-Nicky Henderson inmate who struggles with consistency; disappointing in his two runs for this yard but he's on a good mark should blinkers trigger something (he ran one good race when cheekpieces were tried). |
12/1 |

14th Jan 2026 Good 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Proved unable to sustain early progress for previous yard but ran creditably over C&D last spring; dropped away on stable/seasonal debut, perhaps needing the run; check the market signals. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Record of 1-9 over hurdles but he found more improvement with a near-miss in a Hereford handicap (3m2f, good) last month; nudged up 2lb but he's building up a solid profile in staying handicaps and is a key player. |
5/2 |

2nd 1 |
18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
No match for an in-form winner last time at Sedgefield (3m3f, soft; second run in cheekpieces) but he's consistent and won't mind this drier surface; considered for his in-form stable. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 2 |
19th Feb 2026 3m 3f 9y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
British point winner in 2023 (2m5f, good); won Fontwell maiden hurdle last March (2m3f, good); fair form in handicaps this term, last time finishing third at Warwick (3m1f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces, second has won since); cheekpieces retained and a contender, although unproven on soft ground. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
All three wins have been over C&D, including in this race last season; shaped as though returning to form when sixth at Bangor last time; back on his last winning mark; one to consider. |
14/1 |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
All three hurdle wins have been on slow ground at Hexham (2m7f) and latest was in October; only 2lb higher than for that success but he's been well held in his last two starts; may have needed the run at Carlisle last month but this is competitive and others are preferred. |
20/1 |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 4 |

Goes well fresh for he has won twice after a break over 2m7f at Hexham this season (good to soft); these conditions suit; should go well after another absence despite rise in grade and being 1lb out of the handicap. |

Had struggled after returning from a long absence but last time was a bit better and Sean Bowen now takes over; could be interesting, for all that he's not shone around here in the past. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
C&D winner who is well treated on his old form but he had a long spell on the sidelines before struggling at big prices in both runs this winter; hard to know how much ability remains and he has plenty to prove. |
40/1 |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 50y Class 4 |

Modest effort in small field on return from lengthy absence last time, albeit seeming to need the run; remains well treated on best form but needs to prove he retains that ability. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Won a Haydock maiden hurdle in 2023 (2m3f, good to soft) and lightly raced in the meantime; tailed off in her last three handicaps and had wind surgery since the latest; risky. |
25/1 |
|
9th 8 |
18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Sole win was in a Haydock maiden (2m3f, good to soft) in April 2023 and she's finished tailed off in both runs since returning from a long absence in December; has plenty to prove and she's untried at this trip. |
25/1 |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Haydock maiden hurdle (2m3f, good to soft) winner in April 2023 who had bits and pieces of handicap form the following season; tailed off on her return from a 617-day absence at Wetherby (about 2m5f, soft) in December and that outing will have needed to bring her on a good deal. |
