16th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Lightly raced; improved on previous efforts last season when winning over 2m5f at Wincanton last month (good; trainer said he seems to run better at this time of year); quite interesting back up in trip. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 82y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Returned after wind surgery with a near-miss at Chepstow (2m3f, good) last April but he's had only two runs since and has struggled in both of them; hurdles record is now 1-10 and he needs to get back on track after another break. |
14/1 |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Very mixed hurdle form, best efforts when winning an Ascot maiden nearly two years ago and, following wind surgery, when going close at Chepstow (also 2m3f, good) last April; form plunged again at Plumpton in November, though, and now has cheekpieces added; risky. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Very useful staying hurdler who has won six of his 13 races, two of them last season, at Haydock in December (3m, good to soft) and at Warwick in March (3m2f, good to soft); not so good last time but these conditions suit and he could bounce back. |
10/1 |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Back in good form this winter, including on last two starts (good to soft) when he prevailed narrowly over C&D in December and battled back for a clearcut win at Warwick (3m2f; from Porter In the Park) four weeks ago; raised another 4lb but the return to a sharper test is more of a worry. |
10/1 |

1st 1 |
8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 3 |
12st 1lb |
A thorough stayer who has won over fences; back in good form over hurdles following a break and seemed to do just enough when prevailing narrowly at Haydock (3m, good to soft); every chance off this 5lb higher mark. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Six-time hurdle winner who was placed off today's mark on his last four appearances, most recently when second at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) last month; seems very likely to be on the premises again. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 2 |
4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
C&D record of 31133 includes a soft-ground win off 9lb higher almost two years ago and last month's perfectly serviceable staying-on 10l third in 0-145 company; faces an easier-looking task this afternoon. |
13/8 |
|
3rd 6 |
16th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Dual C&D winner; only win last season was a walkover in a chase; went back hurdling after that and took time to find his form, but sound placed efforts on last two starts, latest when third at Haydock in March (3m, good; first run after a wind op) when Super Survivor was well behind in eighth; chance. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Two wins last season, the first a four-runner Huntingdon handicap in May (3m1f, good), the second a six-runner handicap at Newbury (3m, good to soft) in March; far from disgraced in a competitive race at Aintree last time and not without a chance despite career-high mark. |
13/2 |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Ridden last ten starts by William Maggs; seventh hurdle win when seeing off five rivals at Newbury (3m, good to soft) three weeks ago but even a 2lb nudge seems likely to stop him in this much more competitive scenario. |
25/1 |
|
1st 5 |
20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Ridden last nine starts by William Maggs; rarely seen on soft ground; six-time winner, most recently last May; good placed efforts at about 3m four times in a row in October-December, before he failed to show in a Pertemps qualifier at Musselburgh (10-1) nearly seven weeks ago; best form this term was over C&D, so he's not entirely ruled out. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |

Veteran; mixes chasing with hurdling; sound run over hurdles when beaten a neck at Perth last time (3m2f, good); not out of it, but Sean Bowen rides stable companion Secret Trix. |
8/1 |

2nd 12 |
24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 127y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Had lots of racing in Ireland before joining this yard last year; returned from a wind operation to win this 12 months ago off this very mark but he's an 11yo now and his last two runs, over fences and hurdles, weren't that encouraging. |
12/1 |

7th 6 |
23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 5y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Had lots of racing in Ireland before joining this yard last year; won a 3m2f handicap hurdle at Perth last April (good to soft; 2lb lower) and one of his three recent chase runs was very respectable; exposed but has each-way claims. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Lightly raced 8yo; won his first handicap at Exeter in March when beating a shorter-priced, in-form stable companion by a short head (3m, good); now 4lb higher and could go well, but lacks consistency. |
4/1 |

1st 2 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 25y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won a weak maiden on this card 12 months ago and hasn't found any improvement this season in handicaps; on the plus side, it was quite a deep race he ran in at Newbury last time. |

14th Jan 2026 Good 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |

Gained his Exeter success last spring in a weak maiden; has regressed in two handicaps this season; however, still lightly raced and this is a drop back in class, so may prove resurgent. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Well beaten on all four starts this year, the latest over 2m7f at Uttoxeter last month (race he won in 2025); dips into a much less competitive event here, though, and the booking of Sean Bowen catches the eye. |
9/2 |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Won this race off this mark in 2025 (good; 2-1 favourite) having run poorly on his previous start; was rather disappointing later on last season and has a bit to prove at present. |

14th 7 |
11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Second in the C&D Grade 1 novice at this meeting last year; went on to finish first and second in handicaps over the extended 2m7f at Uttoxeter at the start of the summer but well below par both starts since a break, latterly at the Cheltenham Festival; combination of first-time cheekpieces and a return to this C&D needs to spark a revival. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Front-runner whose 2024 six-timer came over longer trips than today's; no evidence in three runs since a 14-month absence that he retains sufficient ability to figure here; gains cheekpieces and a tongue-tie. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |

Went up 41lb for his six wins in staying hurdles in 2024; was subsequently absent for 441 days and hasn't run anything like as well since. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 3 |
12st 2lb |
On a roll in the second half of 2024, rattling off six straight wins (2m5f-3m1f), but pulled up on belated return at Kelso at the end of February; entitled to strip fitter but can still only watch. |
