3rd 9 |
21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Upwardly mobile 6yo; won three handicaps in 2025 and posted another personal best when beaten a head at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) last month, pulling well clear of the third; strong candidate off just 2lb higher. |
4/1 |

27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Progressive 6yo who made it 3-3 in handicaps when keeping on strongly to lead close home on seasonal debut at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) in November; fell mid-race last month but remains very much of interest. |

Displayed big jolt of improvement on handicap debut 23 days ago, winning readily over C&D (soft); went up 8lb for that but could still have a lot more to offer; good chance. |

10st 11lb |
0-17 but she was a fair third on her first two starts this year (2m5f/2m3f, soft) then went close off this mark when upped to 3m at Taunton (heavy) last Thursday; also effective on good to soft; she could have more to offer over this sort of trip and is one to consider in first-time cheekpieces. |

No wins in 14; ran better in his third chase over C&D in May, beaten about 13l behind one having a good summer; 2lb out of the weights. |

3rd 6 |
27th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |

13-race maiden who has been pulled up in both runs over fences (2m3f) and was tailed off back over hurdles at Exeter (2m, good) last time; opposable. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Not yet proven over this far but ran quite well when third (albeit well held in the end) at Fontwell (2m2f, good) in August and is now back on same mark as for narrow course win (2m3f, good) in first-time cheekpieces in March; no surprise if he features. |

3rd 4 |
28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Needs to rebound from a poor run in June but has largely consistent record since switched to fences last autumn and seems versatile regarding trip; raced mainly on good ground but handles good to soft; could have a say. |
8/1 |
|
4th 3 |
16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |

In the frame all six starts since switch to chasing in the autumn, including course win (2m3f, good) in first-time cheekpieces in March; ran big race when second (albeit well held in the end) over 2m5f here last month; strong claims if stamina holds out over this longer trip. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Two wins over fences at about 2m4f (soft and heavy) during early 2024; hasn't matched that in ten starts since and was never competitive when pulled up at Ffos Las (2m, soft) on his reappearance ten days ago; new headgear combination needs to spark a revival. |
12/1 |

5th 1 |
10th Apr 2025 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |

2-13 over fences, with the wins over about 2m4f in the mud last February and March; second off a career-low mark at Lingfield (2m, soft) this February, followed by a respectable show in first-time cheekpieces, but today's trip and forecast good ground both ask major questions. |

Theoretical chance on the form of such as his Uttoxeter second off 3lb higher in May 2025 (2m7f, good; headed post), but beaten 39l back there in May on his only run following further wind surgery; 0-20 overall. |

Two wins for Chris Down last year, latest at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) off 3lb lower; well-held fourth of seven on stable/seasonal debut at Worcester (2m5f) but ran well for a long way; worth considering with that run behind him. |

Has shown only the odd sign of ability over hurdles and pulled up on chase debut last month; 5lb out of the handicap back hurdling; cheekpieces (tried once) join the tongue-tie of last three starts. |
