2nd 4 |
27th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Pulled up in his final two runs last year but he returned after wind surgery with a front-running win at Fontwell (2m3f, good; 22-1) this month; this is a different test but he won over fences here (3m2f) last spring and 3lb rise for that last success looks fair; respected. |

1st 6 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Four-time chase winner who was out of sorts when last seen in the autumn, most recently when pulled up on return to hurdling; had another wind op (his fourth) during 168-day break; needs to get career back on track. |

26th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Recorded his sixth hurdle win when making all off a reduced mark at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) in April, and his follow-up bid off this mark was respectable back there 20 days ago; capable off this mark but not without risk. |
9/2 |

4th 1 |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Recorded his sixth hurdle win when making all off a reduced mark over C&D (good; 4-1) three weeks ago; back up 4lb but remains well treated on old form and is versatile ground-wise; key player. |

7th 6 |
6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
7-39, with three wins over hurdles, but he's hard to predict and was badly out of sorts in the autumn; unseated early on last month's return and reverts to hurdles off his last winning mark, but it's difficult to know what to expect. |
16/1 |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Multiple winner but hasn't become easy to predict and followed two modest runs over hurdles with a pull-up on his return to fences at Ludlow; others safer. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Multiple Flat winner who was contesting only his second handicap over hurdles when winning with the front two clear over C&D (good) three weeks ago; a 6lb rise isn't the end of the world by any means. |
7/4 |

1st 4 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Showed fair form on his third hurdles start when runner-up at Stratford in October; below that form when fifth of seven at Exeter (2m7f, good to firm) on his handicap debut later that month; still early days and may show more here. |

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. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Good-ground bumper winner; disappointing over hurdles, though his handicaps have been at 2m and when he tried this trip once before he was 66-1 in a maiden; could easily be a factor. |

27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Nearly two years since he won a race but arrives here after solid seconds in handicaps at about 3m2f; surprising to see the hood missing but he's still much respected. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
12th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
9yo who hasn't won since July 2024 but he returned to form when going close at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last Wednesday on his second start for this yard; major player if backing up that latest performance. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Opened account over hurdles in 16-runner handicap at Huntingdon (3m1f, good) in November, his eighth attempt; will be all the better for his first run since when fourth of ten at Fontwell (2m5f, good) last month; should run well. |
100/30 |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Opened account over hurdles in 16-runner handicap at Huntingdon (3m1f, good) in November, his eighth attempt; not seen since and not sure to benefit from this drop back in trip but further progress is possible. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Scored on his hurdles debut in July 2024; returned to the track from a lengthy absence in February and produced his best performance to date when beaten 3l stepped up in trip at Taunton (3m, good) in April; drops down in grade here and may have to offer. |
5/1 |
|
4th 6 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Lightly raced 5yo, absent 473 days before this season; showed some ability in 2024, so he's not totally ruled out over today's very new trip, despite being well held in his two runs (one on Flat) this year; tongue-tie (worn twice on Flat in Ireland at start of career) returns. |
