4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Added to his strong chase record at Exeter with a win over the extended 2m1f there (good to soft) in January; just as good when runner-up over 2m4f on heavy at Wincanton since; bold show likely off the same mark. |

29th Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Won at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) in December on second chase start and runner-up the next twice, including over C&D; also effective on good ground; below par at Leicester three weeks ago but he'll be a major player if swiftly returning to form in first-time cheekpieces. |

Won well at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) in December and a close second in his other three chases; raised 5lb for the latest narrow defeat by Immortal Fame but they did come clear; respected. |

10th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 164y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Lightly raced 7yo who was an encouraging second on his chase and seasonal debut over C&D (good to soft) in December, albeit no match for the winner Theonlywayiswessex; disappointing at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) since but perhaps the first-time cheekpieces will prompt a return to form. |

9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 12y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
A three-time 2m chase winner last season but he's offered precious little this term, tried in blinkers when pulled up on his last two runs at Ludlow and Exeter either side of Christmas; his mark is plummeting but it's still easy to look elsewhere. |
14/1 |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
3-8 over fences, the latest win gained gamely from the front at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) in March; ended last season with two lesser efforts, though, and current mark probably demands a career best. |

14th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Has C&D form and he won two in a row at Wincanton (2m4f on good to soft; 3m1f on heavy) last midwinter; mixed results since but back on his latest winning mark and adding cheekpieces could help; ought to go well. |
9/2 |

3rd 2 |
14th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won two in a row at Wincanton (2m4f/3m1f) last winter and latest was off 1lb lower on heavy ground; looks interesting on that form but he's been up and down since and was pulled up here on Boxing Day; needs to bounce back again after that and he comes with risks attached. |

Point winner; 2-3 in handicap hurdles, most recently winning at Wincanton (2m4f) last Novermber; should make a chaser and looks open to further progress; interesting on reappearance. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Made the frame on final four starts last season, most recently when third of 12 here (2m3f, good) one month ago; remains on a workable mark but has stamina to prove over this much longer trip. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 8 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
All three wins have been on heavy ground; C&D second in January was also on soft but his two placed efforts over 2m4f at Wincanton since came on good to soft and good; ought to be thereabouts again but it is now over two years since his last win. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
All three wins have been on heavy ground but he ran well on good to soft over C&D last month when runner-up behind Universal Secret; nudged up 2lb but he usually races prominently and should go well again. |

10st 12lb |
Effectiveness of the blinkers debuted on last April's Hereford win off 1lb higher (2m5f, good to soft) quickly dissipated, and a record of 466 in today's returning visor doesn't quicken the pulse; overlooked. |
33/1 |

6th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |

Registered his Hereford success in first-time blinkers; has totally failed to repeat that form since and doesn't look a solid option in the retained blinds. |
