11st 5lb |
Won easily over 2m5f here (good) and then made all at Worcester (2m4f, good) where it was harder work; now has to deal with a 6lb rise but he's on a roll. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Took advantage of a declining mark to open his account over fences at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good) three weeks ago, on his second start following wind surgery; there should be more to come with that win under his belt and he may well follow up. |

Fair ex-French hurdler/chaser but yet to match that form for his current yard, undergoing breathing surgery before a well-held fourth of six in 2m1f handicap chase at Market Rasen last month; others appeal more. |

Opened his account over fences with an emphatic win at Fontwell (2m2f, good) last month; will find it tougher off 10lb higher but should be kept onside. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Just four starts over fences and, after finishing tailed off in the first and refusing in the second, he showed he might be getting the hang of things when sixth of ten at Exeter (2m3f, good; weakened) last month; needs to take another step forward but that's not out of the question. |

20th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 5 |

Point winner who showed his first form over fences when second of three in a weak contest at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) in March; had excuses when pulled up last time but does need to show improvement. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |

Still very lightly raced under rules but was pulled up on chase/handicap debut in January and probably did not achieve much when well-held second in three-runner contest at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) this month. |

10st 11lb |
2-13 over hurdles, the latter win gained off this mark over C&D (good) last summer; has lost his way a bit since, though, and was safely held off his lower chase mark last month; others have more pressing claims. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Scored over fences in April 2025 on heavy, and has won twice over hurdles since but has lost his form in that sphere; now returns to fences; hard to fancy. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Responsible for both of his new trainer's wins, the latest at this track (2m, good) 15 days ago; didn't appear to see his race out when tried over today's distance at Wincanton in April but he is clearly in good order. |
5/2 |

1st 5 |
22nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
0-7 over hurdles but he made it fourth-time lucky over fences when scoring on his stable debut at Taunton (2m, good) in March; looked fortunate because the leader made a bad mistake at the last but he's only 2lb higher here and he had an excuse when stepped back up 2m4f last time; dangerous back in trip. |
4/1 |

1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
0-7 over hurdles but he made it fourth time lucky over fences when scoring on his stable debut at Taunton (2m, good) last month; the leader made a bad mistake at the last but this 8yo wasn't far away at the time and he remains feasibly treated after a 2lb rise; respected back up in trip. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Useful chase strike-rate, winning three of six completions (at up to about 2m3f; good to soft and good) since October; well below best over C&D latest but overall form suggests he could soon put that behind him. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

3-7 over fences and remains in form following his second at Fontwell (2m3f, good) 13 days ago; may not have finished progressing yet and entitled to be on the shortlist. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
3-6 over fences; returned from break with two good-ground wins last month, the latter gained in fairly good style over C&D; unseated rider mid-race here recently but has strong claims if all goes to plan this time. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Lightly raced; tenacious winner of 2m5f chase at Newton Abbot (good) last June but soft ground may have counted against her next time and she wasn't seen after July; a long way back on her recent yard debut but there's still hope for her at this level on anything like her old form. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Scored on her second chase start at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last June for John O'Shea; absent since last July and makes stable debut; best watched unless the market speaks in her favour. |

14th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Won over hurdles at Hereford (2m, good to soft) in the autumn and battled on gamely for narrow chase success here (2m5f, good) last month; reverts to hurdling on a workable mark; cheekpieces (worn once last year) are refitted; probably won't be far away. |

Sole success over fences was when trained in Ireland in April 2022; plenty of water under the bridge since and was well below form on all three starts last term; easy to oppose. |

10st 2lb |
Improved to win off lowly hurdle mark at Southwell (2m4f, good) in May last year; made satisfactory chase debut when fourth over C&D (good) last September but has been off since; this looks a tough assignment on his return. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Got off the mark at Southwell in July and creditable second in two handicaps here since, all on good ground over about 2m5f; well worth a go at this longer trip and has strong each-way claims again. |
