5th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Has stamina in his pedigree but didn't strictly improve for a step up to 2m7f at Bangor (handicap debut) most recently; however, still ran respectably and may build on that effort. |
8/1 |

4th 4 |
31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Definite improvement when beaten about 13l into third in a soft-ground maiden at Hereford (2m3f) and the front two that day have progressed to better things; this gelding might do likewise now sent further for his handicap debut. |
5/1 |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Ran okay in two bumpers last season but was tailed off when 150-1 for hurdle debut at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) in November; had wind surgery subsequently but was then beaten 48l in a Ludlow maiden (2m5f, good to soft) last month and doesn't look the answer here. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Returned from long absence with two hurdling seconds this spring (visored) and filled same position behind Kingofthegame in C&D chase three weeks ago (good; first-time blinkers); not yet exposed over fences; shortlisted. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 7 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
13-race maiden; pulled up on only chase start, in February 2025 (2m2f, soft); comes here having run fair races over hurdles with a visor on last two starts; a possible back chasing with blinkers now tried. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 9 |
5th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
6yo maiden who ran well, one place in front of Les's Destiny Star, in first-time visor over C&D (good to soft) last month on debut for new stable and return from lengthy layoff; likely player provided that effort is backed up and the bounce is avoided. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Maiden who has failed to complete in two starts since handicapping; otherwise interesting on bits of bumper/hurdles form and this is a drop in class. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Just the one good run in his three novice hurdles but that was when 11l second at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) in December; early faller when 18-1 for recent handicap debut at Newbury (3m, good to soft); his stable is in excellent form and he could run well in first-time cheekpieces. |
16/1 |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Best run was an 11l second of eight in a 2m7f novice at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) two starts back; that race didn't have a lot of depth, however; handicap debut. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Low-mileage 8yo who opened his account in Chepstow event (2m7f, good to soft) then finished midfield, not disgraced, over C&D (good) later in April; reasonably solid in current form. |
10/1 |

6th 11 |
21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Beat well-handicapped, odds-on favourite when staying on well to open account at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) 19 days ago, his eighth start over hurdles; 6lb higher here but may yet have more to offer. |
4/1 |

1st 7 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
0-7 over hurdles; not disgraced when sixth of 17 at Exeter (2m7f, good to soft) last month and remains unexposed over this sort of trip but others have more pressing claims. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Lightly raced 6yo who is a bumper winner; respectable third at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft; handicap debut) in latest hurdles attempt; may show progress, provided he stays this new trip. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Good-ground bumper winner last March and has made the frame in two novice hurdles this season; this nicely bred 6yo is open to progress in handicaps; interesting contender. |
4/1 |

16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 140y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Won three-runner course bumper (good; runner-up has done well over hurdles since) last March and made quite promising seasonal/hurdle debut when second (no match for winner) at Hereford (2m, good) in November; moves up in trip today and has a big role to play. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Seemed to have been aided by a wind op when placed at Ffos Las (3m, good to soft) in April, his second handicap, but was pulled up on next two outings (latter was chase debut) and has since left Ben Pauling; has tongue-tie refitted for stable debut; cheekpieces removed after one use. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper winner; 0-6 over hurdles and needs to bounce back from a poor run but his third of 14 at Ffos Las (3m, good to soft) in April was a good effort; drops back in trip and sports first-time cheekpieces on chasing debut; could have a say if back on song. |
12/1 |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Good-ground bumper scorer; had wind surgery prior to a resurgent effort, finishing 5l third and one place behind Star Turn, over C&D (good to soft) last month in only his second handicap attempt; warrants respect off same mark, with a step forward possible. |
