23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Won in a first-time tongue-tie (retained since) at Taunton (2m, heavy) in February on second hurdle start and went close at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) last month; he's shaped as though he'll be suited by the step up in trip and there's lots to like on his handicap debut. |

19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won by a neck in a first-time tongue-tie (retained) at Taunton (2m, heavy) last month on his second hurdle start and the runner-up has since gone one better; showed promise on good to soft in a bumper (unraced on good); strong claims for top trainer who is 5-7 here in the last five seasons. |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Showed ability when reaching the frame in two bumpers (trained by Tom Weston on debut) but beaten 30l when fifth on 2m Exeter hurdle debut (good to soft) five weeks ago; tongue-tied on the back of that; Harry Cobden is on stablemate Babyken. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
No match for winner when second at Perth (2m4f, good; raced too freely) last month, after a break, but appeared to have quite a bit in hand when winning on handicap debut at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) in January and can be dangerous if new hood helps him to relax. |
11/2 |

2nd 8 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Well backed into 85-40 when winning by 3l on handicap debut at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) in January; 10lb higher for this first run since but the form has worked out well and he could have plenty more left in the tank. |
4/1 |

1st 4 |
17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Showed promise in all three bumpers last season; unable to land a significant blow in three maiden/novice hurdles this term but caught the eye when keeping on steadily for modest fourth at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) last month and is open to improvement in handicaps. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Three-time hurdle winner who has dropped to a mark 5lb lower than when winning on his chase debut last February; he may stage a revival at some stage but has struggled over fences/hurdles on his three runs this season. |
50/1 |
|
10th 5 |
1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Returns to hurdles off a workable mark but, judged on his chase efforts this term, has a doubt over current form. |
25/1 |

23rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Jumped okay when winning at Newcastle (chase debut) but lacked fluency when disappointing at Wetherby since; not sure what to expect. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Ran well in a bumper here last April on debut (good to soft) and, having had wind surgery, he made a winning handicap debut at 9-2 at Bangor (2m3f, good) last month; did it easily and a 10lb rise may not stop him. |
3/1 |

1st 7 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
All runs on good to soft or soft; third in a bumper and has been showing enough to believe he'll pay his way in handicaps, last time finishing just ahead of Titanium Ring at Ludlow; likely contender after wind surgery. |
100/30 |
|
5th 4 |
18th Feb 2026 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
All runs on good to soft; third in a Perth bumper and left his first run over hurdles behind when fourth in a 2m maiden at Southwell (fitted in a first-time tongue-tie); doesn't have compelling claims. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Won on stable debut at Fakenham (2m4f, good to soft) in January and bounced back from heavy-ground flop on handicap debut at Hereford when fourth at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good to soft) last month; shaped last time as though this shorter trip would help and trainer has a good record in this race. |
7/1 |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Clear promise in both hurdle starts for Lorna Fowler in Ireland prior to £54,000 sale; won a Fakenham maiden (2m4f, good to soft) on stable debut in January but he flopped on his handicap debut at Hereford last month; still early days but that was a laboured effort last time and he needs to bounce back at this new trip. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Front-runner who won at Ayr (2m, heavy) in January before solid third at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft), and he won again at Ayr (2m, soft) last month; further improvement is necessary today, but possible. |
6/1 |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
In-form contender who registered an account-opening success over C&D (heavy) on penultimate start and ran creditably at Musselburgh (good to soft) latest, both in Class 4 events; solid claims returned to Ayr and dropped back in grade. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 8 |
31st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Showed a good attitude to get off the mark at Ayr (2m, heavy) 18 days ago, making the running and rallying; up 5lb but may have more in the tank and has to be respected. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Runner-up in the two handicaps he has completed and could have done with a truer pace when chasing home the market leader over 2m4f here last time; he's highly likely to get one here and he's one to consider. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 8 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Patiently ridden and bustled up the winner (Camarrate) at Newcastle (2m4f, good; from 2lb lower) on penultimate start; pulled up over C&D subsequently; still low mileage, so isn't a forlorn hope if bouncing back from that blip. |
12/1 |
|
10 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Improved form when 16-1 runner-up at Newcastle (2m4f, good) 12 days ago on second handicap start; needs to back up that latest performance but he's unexposed on good ground and drying conditions would aid his cause. |
12/1 |
