22nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
A prolific winner in points, he got off the mark under rules at Taunton (3m, good) last month; 5lb higher but looks the type that can go in again. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |

0-14 under rules but 6-9 in points; second in two handicap hurdles over about 2m6f at Exeter this year, which saw him start 11-10 favourite for five-runner race over C&D (good) 13 days ago but he clipped heels and unseated in the early stages; that was the race won by Gasmani; should give him a lot more to think about this time, barring mishaps. |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |

Remains winless under rules but he was a multiple points winner after leaving Paul Nolan in Ireland and has started well for his new yard, a strong-travelling second of 11 in 2m6f handicap hurdle at Exeter 23 days ago; can go one better here. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Point/bumper winner who showed improvement to get off the mark over hurdles at Taunton (3m, good) last month on his sixth attempt; creditable second over the same C&D subsequently and holds place claims at least while in this mood. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Fell mid-race on chasing debut last month; better 18 days later on second attempt in that sphere (albeit last of three) and peak hurdles efforts make this look an attractive mark, but they were all at about 2m and this sort of trip is totally new under rules for this 2024 Irish 3m point winner. |

3rd 3 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Fell mid-race here on chasing debut 18 days ago but twice ran well in today's headgear combination over hurdles last month and, with good ground suitable, has a good chance if able to transfer that form to fences. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Yet to take his form to any higher level since receiving a tongue tie and wind surgery, but he won't mind any drying ground as a hurdles winner on good and there's winning chasing prowess in the pedigree. |

28th Sep 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Narrow winner of a C&D handicap in a first-time visor in June and has run to a similar level in defeat in two starts since; probably remains vulnerable off this mark but he's proving reliable, returns to a favoured venue and this doesn't look a strong contest. |
7/2 |

4th 3 |
4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
June's Newton Abbot win by a nose (3m2f, good) in a first-time visor constituted only the tiniest of improvements judged on RPRs; consolidated that form effort when fourth over today's C&D subsequently, over 4l behind Fane Court, and probably nothing much in hand off his current mark. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Chasing on last five starts has not really worked out; Taunton (2m3f) last February and Warwick (2m) last March saw him register a double over hurdles and he's back to his last winning mark for today's switch in codes but, after three non-completions at about 3m over fences, stamina also has to be proved. |

27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Mixed results (5FP4) since switched to chasing but is now only 1lb above last winning hurdles mark and Edward Vaughan takes off a bonus 7lb; possibilities, provided he stays returned to 3m. |
7/1 |

4th 8 |
21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Just ahead of Gris Majeur when falling at third-last fence at Taunton (2m7f, good to firm) in November, his second chase, but struggled on next outing; others in this line-up look much less risky. |

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. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |

Mostly out of form this year, with the second at Perth in August proving a false dawn; comes with risks. |

3rd 6 |
18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
1-22 under rules and largely out of form this year, though he did go close over 3m at Perth in August before finishing a 22l fourth of five over C&D 11 days ago; has a chance on his best form but comes with risks. |
8/1 |

4th 5 |
7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
1-21 under rules but took a step in the right direction when runner-up at Perth (3m, good) last month; drops back in trip but win record is off-putting. |
