1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Multiple point winner who has raced just four times over hurdles and won a 2m3f Fontwell handicap in May (good); disappointing off this 5lb higher mark next time but that looked too bad to be true. |
15/2 |

7th 7 |
27th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Six-time point winner who made it third-time lucky over hurdles when scoring on his handicap debut at Fontwell (2m3f, good) three weeks ago; up 5lb but that was a smooth success and the runner-up has franked that form since; respected. |
4/1 |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Won his sixth point in March but was pulled up in his two previous races over hurdles (maiden/novice) and wouldn't be the percentage call here in his first handicap. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
0-5 over hurdles but posted good effort when keeping-on second here (2m3f, good) this month and has plenty of scope to build on that performance; no surprise if he features. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 5 |
6th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Backed into 7-2 for his handicap debut here last month when also tried in cheekpieces, but weakened when it mattered to be about 10l off the principals; could still build on that as it's early days. |
4/1 |

4th 6 |
8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Well beaten on all three hurdling starts (2m1f-2m3f) but has a lowly mark for this handicap debut and good market support will bring him into the equation; sports first-time cheekpieces. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |

Well held on the Flat and already looking limited over hurdles; behind Answer That last time. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Well held on the Flat and she has also offered little promise since sent hurdling, only tenth in Newbury juvenile in November; makes her handicap debut after a layoff. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Remains a maiden and has been quiet in four runs after a long absence; no obvious significance in the return of cheekpieces. |
20/1 |
|
6th 6 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
0-14 over hurdles and has shown little in three runs (2m-2m4f) since returning from a long absence; cheekpieces tried last time quickly dispensed with; plenty to prove. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Went close at Exeter (2m7f, good) in April, but has very mixed record for current stable since the autumn; well beaten over 2m4f on latest outing and now 0-14 over hurdles; not the percentage call. |
16/1 |

9th 6 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
In this headgear combination for his last three races and went close in the penultimate one at Exeter (2m7f, good); consistency is an issue but has a big run in him. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Had form in Irish bumpers; steadily progressive profile over hurdles, last time going down by 8l on handicap debut at Plumpton (2m, good); lacks a change of gear so going up in trip could help matters, as might the first-time hood. |
4/1 |
|
5th 3 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
A fair ex-Irish bumper performer who recorded easily his best effort over hurdles when third of five in novice over C&D 13 days ago; well in the mix with likely better still to come now handicapping. |
11/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Showed promise when making the frame in two bumpers in Ireland (soft to heavy/yielding); however, tailed off on his first two hurdle starts (2m, soft/good to soft) and needs to be an entirely different proposition today. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
His first effort of note when beaten just over 5l in a Wincanton handicap (1m7f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in which he rallied gamely after stumbling three out; now he's of interest. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Little worthwhile form under Flat or hurdle codes; 80-1 when well behind Victory Shout last time at Taunton; now tries cheekpieces. |
33/1 |
|
8th 9 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Modest in four Flat races (2023 and 2024) but, after a big layoff, no worthwhile form in three maiden hurdles this year; at least handicap hurdle debut should help and the market can guide again. |
