24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Six-race maiden over hurdles but ran respectably in his handicaps and this dual point winner could well do better over fences; has been off since January but one to consider, especially if at all strong in the betting. |
4/1 |

22nd Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 110y |
11st 1lb |
Record of 2-8 in point-to-points; good second at Aintree on handicap hurdle debut (3m, soft); kept on late when 6l fifth of nine at Ascot two weeks later; British trainer's first runner at the track; watch the betting. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
2-8 in Irish points last year; made quite promising rules debut when staying-on fourth at Warwick (2m, good) in March and ought to be better suited by the stiffer stamina test here; could have a say. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Went up 5lb for beating an exposed rival at Southwell (2m4f, soft; fine on good to soft) but he still ran well in a Class 3 at Newbury (2m6f) that didn't go entirely like clockwork; he could yet raise his bar higher; much respected. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 93y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
An improving chaser who did well to overcome a late mistake and get up at Southwell (2m4f, soft; fine on good to soft); he is 5lb higher for beating an exposed rival that day and this represents a harder assignment; still commands considerable respect. |
11/4 |

1st 4 |
18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Fontwell maiden hurdle winner in May 2024 who's been competitive since handicapping over fences this term, bang there when coming down two out at Haydock (2m4f) in December before finishing runner-up in staying chases at Huntingdon and Warwick (all good to soft); drop back in trip probably no bother and he's a firm contender once more. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 116y |
10st 8lb |
Won twice over fences last September and not a bad chase run at Perth last time; poor on last hurdles run behind Rocky's Howya in March; others preferred. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Back-to-back wins over similar trips to this last September and on good or yielding ground that he's not had in his last four races; however, current wellbeing is an issue and so too the blinkers in which he was tailed off last time when first fitted. |
10/1 |
|
7th 15 |
29th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 4f 120y |
10st 3lb |
Back-to-back chase wins at Galway (2m7f, good to yielding) and this venue (3m, yielding) last September; best of five subsequent runs when afair sixth at Punchestown (2m7f, soft to heavy) in January; struggled over hurdles last time; first-time blinkers. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Scored at up to 3m over hurdles at Stratford and fences at Hexham early last summer; well below par both runs this spring after 11 months off, though, pulled up in 3m2f hurdle at Stratford in May; has it to prove now. |
9/1 |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 83y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Won the 2m6f novice hurdle on this card a year ago (good ground) and followed up in handicap chase at Hexham (3m, good to soft) three weeks later, but returned from layoff with lacklustre chase run last month; now reverts to hurdling over new trip and with headgear switched. |
7/2 |

4th 7 |
24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Won an uncompetitive novice hurdle (2m6f, good) last May and the following month made a successful chase debut at Hexham (3m, good to soft); a long absence is perhaps a greater concern than the 4lb rise. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Shot up 16lb for her back-to-back wins (2m3f/2m5f) and, although a bad mistake was no help when last to finish at Carlisle, it could be that the handicapper has caught up with her. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
8th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 198y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Thriving mare who bids to compete a hat-trick after clear wins at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) and over C&D (good to soft) this year; shooting up the weights but needs to be taken very seriously in current form. |
4/5 |
|
1st 4 |
3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 198y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Won by 10l on reappearance here (2m4f, soft) in November and, after not staying 3m at Ayr, she bounced back with an easy, all-the-way win at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) 12 days ago; 8lb higher in a tougher race today but this progressive 8yo could still be ahead of the handicapper. |
