4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
0-9 over hurdles; suggested his turn was near when placed twice over 2m3f during the winter but wasn't quite at same level when fourth on final two starts last season; needs a boost from the new cheekpieces. |
4/1 |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 169y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Last run wasn't his best but likeable efforts prior to that in handicaps at about 2m3f (good to soft); has more pressing claims than most in here. |
100/30 |

11th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 145y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Consistent sort who posted a good second of 12 in 2m3f handicap hurdle at Warwick in January; up another 2lb but he's well in the mix again. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
0-6 over hurdles but put in good front-running shift when third at Fakenham (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie) last month and is open to more improvement over this longer trip. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Unplaced all five hurdling starts but was given a lot to do before keeping on steadily for fifth of 13 on handicap debut at Stratford (2m2f, good) a fortnight ago; remains open to improvement and is one to watch closely in the betting; tongue-tie added. |
5/1 |

5th 13 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Did not get seriously competitive in four 2m novice hurdles, although attracted the stewards' attention when making steady late headway on one occasion; up in trip for handicap debut; worth a glance in the betting. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Second in consecutive 2m handicaps (one here) in February/March but wasn't quite in same form when well-held third on latest start and is now 0-9 over hurdles; unexposed at around 2m4f but needs to find something extra. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 4 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
French Flat winner in 2024; maiden hurdler who is proving hard to place in handicaps, albeit his latest defeat, over C&D last month, came at the hands of one who'd dropped a long way in the weights; needs more. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Beaten at short odds (well clear at one point) over C&D in January 2025; has fared better since, earning an RPR of 99 when runner-up at Fakenham (2m, soft; 4-1) latest; this lacks strength in depth, so he should have key role to play. |

18th Oct 2026 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Although only 1-16 as a hurdler, though that success came in May and she's continued to run well, in 2m5f handicap chases at Cartmel in her last two starts (latterly beaten 4l by Illogical Logic with whom she's 7lb better off); solid claims. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 8 |
29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Made the breakthrough when winning over hurdles here (2m6f, good) in May and it was an encouraging chase debut when she was beaten less than 2l by a couple of these over C&D last month; would need to prove she can handle soft ground should the heavens have opened, but otherwise of interest. |
5/1 |
|
4th 7 |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
1-16 over hurdles, having gained a hard-fought course win (2m6f, good) in May; evidently well suited by this track but will need to find hidden reserves to overcome a 4lb higher mark on this chasing debut. |

18th Oct 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Overall record is 0-33 (0-8 over hurdles) but she's in a consistent vein of form, good second at Perth (2m) most recently; creditable third over C&D (good) the time before; fighting chance. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Longstanding Flat maiden but only had the seven races over hurdles and her turn could be near after finishing close up at Uttoxeter (2m) and Sedgefield (2m4f; again good ground); thereabouts. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
9th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Longstanding Flat maiden who is 0-6 over hurdles but she kept on well for second at Uttoxeter in July (2m, good); this longer trip might stretch her. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Won good-ground Hexham bumper in the autumn; well beaten in three subsequent maiden hurdles (1m7f-2m4f, good to soft/soft) but had wind surgery during 69-day break and is back on good ground for this handicap debut; improvement possible. |
10/1 |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won a bumper at Hexham (2m, good) in October; disappointing on his two hurdle starts (2m4f/2m, soft) and arrives with something to prove but the return to better ground could help and he might not be a forlorn hope. |
10/1 |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Closely related to the high-class Ahoy Senor; his bumper form was on good ground, winning at Hexham and then beaten 13l under a penalty; finished tired on soft-ground hurdling debut at Fakenham where some 35l off the winner. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Ran no race at Plumpton last month and needs to put that performance behind her but she bumped into a revitalised opponent when second there (2m4f, good to soft; third has won since) two starts ago and has claims if first-time cheekpieces enable her to replicate that form. |
7/1 |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Placed on Flat (2m AW) for David Menuisier; lightly raced over hurdles and hasn't been far away in 2m/2m4f handicaps here on last two outings; latest conqueror was very well backed; considered. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 7 |
16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Placed on Flat (2m AW) for David Menuisier but failed to figure on first three attempts over hurdles; better, only weakening from the last, when sixth of seven on handicap debut here (2m, soft; 10-1) seven weeks ago; stamina questionable over 2m4f. |
