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 |

4th 3 |
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. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Off the mark at the 15th attempt over hurdles, over C&D (good) last month; 4lb higher but should give a good account in her follow-up bid. |
6/1 |
|
1st 12 |
25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Gave good account when third at Plumpton (2m4f, good) last month but wasn't in quite the same form at Fakenham three weeks ago and is now 0-14 over hurdles; 4lb out of the weights; not the percentage call. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Unexposed as a hurdler, but was 26l behind Superaudaciaheros over C&D eight days ago (good; 100-1). |
33/1 |
|
6th 7 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Placed on her first two starts over hurdles at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) and Market Rasen (2m, good) but failed to build on that when well beaten on handicap debut at Fakenham last month, where the 2m4f may have stretched her stamina; a 3lb drop helps, but she still has something to prove. |
20/1 |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Lowly rated Flat maiden; has taken pretty well to hurdling this spring, making the frame at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) and Market Rasen (2m, good), but does not look obviously well treated for handicap debut. |

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. |
