1st May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Fine effort at 150-1 when under 3l third at Newbury in March; all wins in the last four years, including matches in two opens in 2025, gained going left-handed on sound/quick surfaces, and perhaps best forgiven an uncharacteristic exit at Lockinge latest as he usually finds a leg. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
A three-time winner over regulation fences and prolific in points (5-7); however, he's 12 now and was pulled up in a recent point after quite a lengthy break; has a bit on his plate at any rate. |

Five-time point winner, latest at Overton last month (3m, good); creditable second in maiden hunter chase over C&D last April only previous rules run; interesting. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won back-to-back 3m points at Overton and Pusk, prior to finishing a creditable third in a hunter chase at Perth (3m; beaten 4l, 12-1) 24 days ago; with the suspension of hunter chases, he now switches back to a handicap for Susan Corbett. |

3rd 3 |
13th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won a Huntingdon maiden hurdle for Olly Murphy back in May 2022, but hasn't raced under rules since the summer of 2024; made all, turning over the odds-on favourite, in a three-runner Ladies Open at Pusk (3m, good) 18 days ago; is 2-3 under Amy Milburn. |

13th Jun 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Five-time hurdle winner who came good over fences at third attempt, keeping on well for 3l success at Plumpton (3m1f, good) in April; not yet fully exposed over this sort of trip; likely contender. |

1st May 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Easily won a 3m2f Doncaster mares' handicap in March 2025 for Harry Derham (good) and denied only close home in points at Revesby Park (3m) and Bangor-on-Dee (2m4f) this year; have to hope last-time failure doesn't presage a return to last autumn's rules struggles, however. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Easy winner of a 3m2f Doncaster mares' handicap in March on just her second chase outing (good), but checked out too tamely for the 9lb rise to be accountable when turned over at 1-9 in a Fakenham match next time, and has since left Harry Derham (for £9,000); stable debut. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Successful when last seen over hurdles but this looks a tougher assignment and his most recent win (penultimate start) was achieved in a 4m1f hunter chase; others preferred. |
14/1 |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Resumed winning ways after six months off in 4m1f hunter chase at Warwick (good) 22 days ago; effective over this much shorter trip and this likeable front-runner is not out of things. |

1st May 2026 Good 4m 0f 218y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Punchestown 3m7f handicap chase win in April 2022 (good) remains his most recent under rules, but the first of two point starts netted him a last-gasp Bangor-on-Dee success in March; strike-rate of only 1-11 over 3m3f or more, but this would be easier than almost any of those. |
5/1 |

7th 14 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 5f 56y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Won't fail through lack of stamina but this regressive 11yo never looked dangerous when well-held sixth over C&D last month and is out of the weights today; tongue-tie refitted. |

10st 2lb |
Two good efforts at about 2m5f in midwinter but she's been pulled up on her latest two starts and can only watch from 6lb wrong. |

10th Apr 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Three wins last year, the third coming over C&D (good) in June, when making all; not in the same form since but he's now 1lb below that last winning mark and could bounce back for a yard that was among the winners at Aintree on Saturday. |
