17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Versatile trip-wise as his recent run of solid form has been from 1m7f to 3m; should give his running but does look vulnerable off this high a mark in this strong a race. |

14th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 0y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Has won at about this trip but he was well beaten in this race last year and, despite a 2m1f win at Newcastle last time out, he could have his work cut out at this competitive level. |

11st 11lb |
Won his maiden here over 2m4f; a number of good runs in handicaps and 3m looked a stretch in a Class 2 at Musselburgh last time; something to prove over quite this sharp a trip but definite chance if he copes with it. |

11st 10lb |
Fell at the first flight in Grade 2 Persian War at Chepstow (17-2) on penultimate start and never threatened to justify evens favouritism with an underpowered display in a maiden there (again about 2m4f on good to soft) later in October; last February's third at Ascot is the best form in this field but a lot now seems to depend on the wind surgery he had in November; also now tongue tied. |

Two wins in small-field chases this season, the second over 2m5f here last month (good to soft); up 2lb; stamina to prove on first run at this trip. |

8th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 198y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Won three-runner chase at Leicester (2m, good) in December and probably bettered that form when second at Market Rasen (2m1f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; set to finish second again before last-fence fall at Southwell (2m, good to soft) last month and could plausibly have untapped potential over this longer trip. |

Consistent sort who comes here in good form, having won at Leicester (2m, good; three ran) in December and finished runner-up at Market Rasen (2m1f, good to soft) since; contender. |

Fifth in two bumpers but he found improvement upped in trip on hurdling debut when runner-up at Catterick (2m3f, soft) two weeks ago; that was behind an easy winner and this task is tougher in this deeper race but he's a half-brother to a fairly useful hurdler and it wouldn't be a surprise if he took another good step forward. |

Last of four on handicap debut at Bangor (2m7f, soft) last month but didn't run badly in what may have been a warm little race, and improvement is possible from this lightly raced 6yo; has a chance. |

Has shown some ability in bumpers and over hurdles, well beaten when trying 2m4f on last two occasions but he did rally; needs improvement on this handicap debut but the extra 3f could be a plus point. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 12lb |
Won two small-field handicaps at Kelso (soft/heavy) over the extended 2m7f, easily on penultimate start (made most) despite the odd jumping indiscretion; wore cheekpieces that day and again when an excellent second of 17, coming from out the back, in the NH Chase at Cheltenham (3m6f, good to soft); his jumping can be a bit sticky but he's a prime candidate for 4m. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 201y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Twice successful in small-field handicaps at Kelso (soft/heavy) over the extended 2m7f, easily on latest start (made most) despite the odd jumping indiscretion; wore first-time cheekpieces that day, in response to his Windsor run (3m, soft) in which he got going a good deal later even than the winner Guard The Moon; up 10lb since last time but he now looks a prime candidate for serious stamina tests such as this if his jumping holds up. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Won over C&D (soft) in December on second chase start; got detached before keeping on for fourth of five, beaten just over 5l, at Windsor (3m, soft) four weeks ago; this lightly raced 7yo might be just the type to benefit from the cheekpieces and he retains potential for his good yard. |

11st 8lb |
Came good when switched to handicaps in the autumn, winning over 2m at Worcester (good) and Cheltenham (soft), but is yet to make any further progress; flopped badly when warm favourite at Exeter (2m) a fortnight ago and has a point to prove on this first venture beyond about 2m4f under rules. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |

Kicked off the season with handicap wins at Worcester (good) and Cheltenham (soft); has looked in the grip of the handicapper since but this is a drop in grade, so certainly not dismissed. |

3rd 4 |
27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 3 |

Won on handicap/seasonal debut at Worcester (2m, good) in October and followed up in big field at Cheltenham (2m, soft) in November; slightly disappointing when favourite at Cheltenham last month but could still have more improvement to come over today's longer trip. |

Showed nothing in two bumpers following a long absence but there had been some promise in an Irish point (April 2022) and she now returns after another wind operation with a hood added; might yet do better. |
