1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
11st 2lb |
British runner; commenced chase career with good-ground wins at Hereford and Lingfield; below par in two subsequent starts but bounced back to form with a 4.25l win at Newbury last time (2m4f, good to soft) and a few of those in behind have won since; up 7lb now but ground and distance look like his optimum. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Commenced chase career with a couple of good-ground wins; below par in two starts since but the combination of 3m and soft surface perhaps contributed to latest defeat; drop back in trip looks a plus. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Disappointing favourite, having lacked fluency, at Kempton (2m4f) on Boxing Day when bidding to take chase record to 3-3; however, this Henderson runner can't be written off; bred to stay this new trip. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Just one win from six attempts over hurdles but already better over fences; ready winner of handicap at Newbury (2m, good) in December and might have followed up over this C&D but for falling two out when a narrow leader (bled from the nose); needs further improvement but he's going the right way. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
0-8 over hurdles but was making first appearance for 13 months when keeping on for third at Southwell (2m4f, good) in May and is sure to be suited by this move back up in trip; shortlisted. |

11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Runner-up in his last two races but those were at about 3m and over a year ago now; fully entitled to need this. |
10/1 |

15th Apr 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
0-6 over hurdles; evidently well suited by step up in trip when keeping on well for close second at Plumpton (3m1f, good) 12 days ago but that modest race was won in a slow time and others in this line-up have much more compelling form. |
