11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Maiden winner and up to winning a handicap off this mark as he was a clear second last time at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft); thereabouts. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 |
8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Battled well to win Taunton maiden (2m3f, good to soft) last season but has not been in the same form in any of his four handicaps this term (2m4f-3m); drops back in trip here; needs to up his game. |
10/1 |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Maiden winner; only six ran when a 10l third in his first handicap (2m7f, good to soft) but should really have run better since then, for all that he was back over 2m4f. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Beaten 9l and 5l when twice runner-up in May but didn't appear to give his true running when a beaten favourite at Southwell (behind Indian Sunbird); could be given another chance. |
7/1 |
|
5th 3 |
9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Came from off the pace to take second twice last month (2m4f/2m3f, good; tongue-tie added), after a long layoff, and is likely to be suited by this move back up in trip; must be considered. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 10 |
23rd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Record of 1-18 over hurdles but he returned after 510 days off with a second at Southwell (2m4f, good) two weeks ago; that was a good effort behind an improver and he's a player if he can build on that. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
0-8 over hurdles but was making first appearance for 13 months when keeping on for third at Southwell (2m4f, good) in May and is sure to be suited by this move back up in trip; shortlisted. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 11 |
11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Runner-up in his last two races but those were at about 3m and over a year ago now; fully entitled to need this. |
10/1 |
|
10 |
15th Apr 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
0-6 over hurdles; evidently well suited by step up in trip when keeping on well for close second at Plumpton (3m1f, good) 12 days ago but that modest race was won in a slow time and others in this line-up have much more compelling form. |

11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Lightly raced and his third in a 1m7f maiden at Wincanton (good) was a step forward, and that form looks even stronger now; potentially on a nice mark and he's bred for this longer trip; appealing. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Made the frame in three bumpers but has yet to get anything going over hurdles; could do better in handicaps and he'll get a mark after this, but probably still has a place chance. |
4/1 |
|
5th 1 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Suffered a heavy defeat at Huntingdon on the switch to hurdles but could well rebound, having shown consistency by making the frame in three bumpers (including at Kempton) previously. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Inconsistent 9yo who kept on for third at Uttoxeter (2m4f) without threatening; others preferred. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Inconsistent 9yo who is falling in the weights (17lb below peak 2024 mark) but his last piece of persuasive form was in July last year. |
25/1 |
|
5th 2 |
11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Beaten 6l in his penultimate race but following run was a reminder of his inconsistency; others safer. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won a maiden last spring and was beaten a neck on his handicap debut at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) in November; two lesser runs since and first-time cheekpieces are now added to the tongue-tie worn last time; has something to prove. |
12/1 |

11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |

Won a maiden (2m, good) last spring and went close on handicap debut over C&D (good to soft) in November; off since lesser run the following month (2m7f) but still considered; tongue-tie added. |

11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Beaten 22l and 12l since the cheekpieces went on and has only dropped 3lb; opposable. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Made mistakes when third in a Newbury handicap (2m, good to soft) but his Southwell run over 2m4f (good) was disappointing when tried in cheekpieces (persevered with); already looking hard to predict. |
8/1 |
|
5th 6 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Placed in a maiden here and again on handicap debut at Newbury (2m) despite making some mistakes; a combination of this longer trip and first-time headgear could help him in that respect; can go well. |

11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Had won a bumper and a handicap, but his all-the-way win at Wincanton last month (2m4f, good) was a career-best and the first-time visor must have been a factor; the handicapper didn't hold back with a 13lb hike but still much respected. |
5/2 |
|
1st 4 |
1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Won a bumper on good ground and a handicap hurdle (2m4f) on good to soft; ran right up to his best when third in a Taunton handicap in January but he was disappointing after wind surgery there last month; bit to prove again after that and he needs new headgear to work. |
10/1 |
|
7th 4 |
9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Got back on track when third of 13 in C&D handicap in January; this fair 2m4f winner can't be dismissed off the same mark on the back of wind surgery. |

Chance on last year's peak form but he appears to have lost his way; quiet so far for current yard. |

5th 4 |
18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |

Has the form to feature off this mark but in two runs for this yard he's been tailed off over hurdles and pulled up on chase debut. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Ended last season with string of good efforts over hurdles for the Newland-Insole stable; sold for 18,000gns last spring; may have needed his reappearance run here in October but he now returns after another break and this is a tough assignment on his chase debut. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Runner-up twice for Dan Skelton in the winter (2m3f/3m1f) but left that stable after a disappointing run in March and was pulled up after performing poorly for new yard three weeks ago (2m3f); back up in trip with cheekpieces refitted. |
9/1 |

11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |

Placed in 2m3f/3m1f handicaps but left Dan Skelton for £4,500 and as a nine-race maiden; likely best watched. |
20/1 |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 137y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
4l runner-up on handicap debut at Warwick (2m3f, good to soft) on New Year's Eve and similar outcome in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) last month; this unexposed 6yo could continue to progress for his top stable and he's a possible player. |
