26th Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Bumper winner; took a while to get his act together over hurdles but got up close home at Ludlow (2m5f, good) in May and, although a beaten favourite, he's run creditably over about 3m/3m2f in his two starts since; needs to resume progress in today's first-time headgear. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Bumper winner; took a while to get his act together over hurdles but showed good stamina to lead close home at Ludlow (2m5f, good) last month and was only beaten 1l when upped to 3m at Southwell (good) three weeks ago; ought to be in the thick of things again. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper winner who had disappointed over hurdles until a step back up in trip brought about the necessary improvement to get off the mark in this sphere at Ludlow (2m5f, good) last month; should be suited by this further step up to 3m and is a leading player. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won a similar handicap at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) in March and made another bold bid when runner-up at Ludlow (2m5f, good) 12 days ago; only just caught in that race and he's 4lb well in off the same mark here; strongly respected. |

2nd 1 |
10th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
He only beat two other finishers at Huntingdon (about 2m3f, good) and the 6lb rise appeared to find him out when behind Midnight View at Warwick; he's back down 2lb but they did claim 3lb off his back last time. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Best effort for a while when beating two other finishers at Huntingdon (about 2m3f, good) last month; back up 6lb in a race that will take more winning but that recent success could have had a reviving effect. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Kept on well to score over C&D (good) in April, his ninth start over hurdles; still unexposed over this sort of trip but was a shade disappointing when well-held third at Ludlow (2m5f, good) last month and probably won't be favoured by any rain. |

3rd 2 |
10th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
His first run beyond 2m when ridden out to prevail over 2m3f at Warwick last month (good; 6lb lower) and he might well improve again for going further this afternoon; has a lot less to prove than his rivals. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Longstanding maiden hurdler; twice runner-up from four starts over fences though, jumping right late on in 3m Uttoxeter handicap on latter occasion ten days ago; not dismissed with visor now added. |
8/1 |

2nd 5 |
4th Oct 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Longstanding maiden who has lacked consistency in recent times; good second over C&D (chase debut) in June but isn't certain to repeat that form; two poor efforts since. |

10th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

0-16 over hurdles; ran a big race when clear second on chasing debut at Uttoxeter (3m, good) in June but was tailed off over same C&D in July and it's hard to know what to expect from him here. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Produced a couple of placed efforts over C&D during the summer; below par recently when back from a two-month break and, although entitled to build on that, he's now 0-17 over hurdles and others make more appeal. |

10th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Gave a good account when third of 12 over what turned out to be an extended 3m at Market Rasen (good) in July but is 0-16 over hurdles now and others in this line-up have more potential. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
AW winner who is 0-15 over hurdles; latest third over C&D was one of his better efforts but he looks worth taking on from 3lb out of the weights. |

Four wins on the AW include one over C&D in 2022, but nothing like as good these days; first-time blinkers need to have a dramatic effect. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |

Regressive on the Flat and tailed off returned to hurdles in March; limited appeal now attempting a handicap (1lb wrong). |

18th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |

27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
His best effort in five handicaps was the 9l seventh two runs ago at Wincanton (2m4f, good); unconvincing, especially given his subsequent run at Ffos Las; 1lb out of the weights. |
10/1 |

7th 8 |
21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Still to get his head in front and he came in a never-dangerous seventh in 2m4f Wincanton handicap last month; others appeal more. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Well beaten in all three handicaps (2m4f-3m2f, good to soft-heavy); could plausibly be seen in a better light on today's faster ground but it takes a leap of faith to support him. |
