23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Six-time Flat winner; opened account over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good; refitted cheekpieces) last month, after a break, and ran at least as well when close/clear second over that C&D three weeks later; can make presence felt again over this longer trip. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Multiple Flat winner who was contesting only his second handicap over hurdles when winning with the front two clear over C&D (good) three weeks ago; a 6lb rise isn't the end of the world by any means. |

1st 4 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |

Showed fair form on his third hurdles start when runner-up at Stratford in October; below that form when fifth of seven at Exeter (2m7f, good to firm) on his handicap debut later that month; still early days and may show more here. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
0-13 but ran well on his second race back after a year's absence when runner-up here (2m7f, good) last month; fair fifth at Worcester since and the drop back in trip may be in his favour. |
8/1 |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Maiden hurdler but has twice threatened in handicaps, last time going close over Uttoxeter's 2m7f; that was his second run after a lengthy break; up 4lb. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Runner-up in an Irish point but only modest form shown in this sphere, finishing fourth of eight in 2m7f handicap at Uttoxeter last month; needs to build on it. |
25/1 |
|
4th 12 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Has failed to show any notable form in four runs over hurdles, handicap debut on latest; takes a big step up in trip but hard to fancy. |
33/1 |

6th 6 |
25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Finished second in an Irish Point in May 2023, but has failed to show any notable form in three runs over hurdles, most recently finishing tailed off at Market Rasen (2m2f, good to soft) in January; makes handicap debut. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Ran quite well when third of seven (albeit well held in the end) on recent chasing debut at Hexham (3m, good) but is now 0-9 under all codes; 2lb wrong for this return to hurding; needs to find something extra. |
12/1 |

3rd 8 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Faring better since the switch to handicap hurdles, if again shaping as if the sharp course was against him when 12l third at Fakenham latest (3m, good); ought to find Hexham a better suit switching to fences, and one half-brother made a winning chase debut. |
12/1 |

3rd 5 |
31st May 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made fairly encouraging handicap debut when keeping-on fourth at Stratford (3m2f, good) last month but was soundly beaten at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) four weeks ago and it's hard to know what to expect from him here; 2lb out of the weights. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
In the money but well beaten in his last three starts; cheekpieces are now applied and they need to have a significant impact for him to be successful. |
14/1 |

4th 7 |
18th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Some bumper promise; well beaten in his four hurdle races, upped to 3m at Uttoxeter (good to soft; 9-1) 11 weeks ago when a remote fourth on handicap debut last time; needed plenty of riding that day; early days but he needs to raise his game, markedly. |

Modest form in five runs over hurdles, pulled up in handicaps on last two; first-time tongue-tie worn last time is persevered with, joined by first-time blinkers; hard to fancy. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Modest form in four starts over hurdles, latest when pulled up at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in March on handicap debut; first-time tongue-tie is now fitted on this step up in trip; hard to fancy. |
50/1 |

11th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 145y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Yet to make the frame in a trio of runs over hurdles, seventh in 2m Hereford novice four weeks ago; needs this switch to handicaps to spark some progress. |
25/1 |
