26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Weakened when well-beaten third at Doncaster (3m2f, soft) last month and needs to bounce back; however, he was running very well in defeat otherwise this winter (3m/3m1f, good-soft) and this C&D winner will be in the mix if back on song this afternoon. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 1y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Seems to be adding some consistency to his game and has been bang there in his last three handicap chases (3m-3m1f), latterly chasing home Dartmoor Pirate here; he does look in the grip of the handicapper but he'll probably run well once more. |
7/1 |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
Three wins during last season's first campaign over fences (2m3f-3m, including on soft) and this front-runner has run well to be placed on his last two starts, most recently when just outstayed over Cheltenham's stiff, extended 3m1f; today's 3m around a flat track could prove ideal. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Held on well to exploit reduced mark in Newcastle handicap (2m7f, heavy) in January but was quickly back in the doldrums when pulled up (albeit in valuable race) at Doncaster last month; this hunter chase debut is much less competitive but it's hard to predict whether he'll warm to the task. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 1y Class 2 |

Exploited what was a very good mark at Newcastle (2m7f, heavy) and the front two pulled clear; raised only 3lb for that but consistent he is not; others safer. |

1st 4 |
27th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Represents top southern stable and he's very well handicapped on last season's best form; could stage a revival at some point but he struggled in the autumn on his last three starts and there's also a stamina query. |

Mostly chasing in the last year but was second to Blue Hop reverting to hurdles at Wetherby last time; needs more. |

28th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 56y Class 4 |

Won over hurdles at Southwell last March and fences at Cartmel last May; has dropped to a dangerous mark but he's been inconsistent over fences since that last win; reverts to hurdles and others are more compelling. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Well below best last season but exploited some help from the handicapper when winning in pretty good style at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) this month; even after a 5lb rise, he's still 5lb lower than when winning this race in 2025; good chance. |

1st 2 |
7th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Well handicapped if judged on his two good-ground wins in cheekpieces last spring (2m7f/2m5f) but has been well below best (in various headgear) in recent months; ran well for a long way before weakening quickly at Market Rasen (3m, good) last time and might benefit from this drop back in trip but others have much less to prove. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Well handicapped if judged on his two good-ground wins in cheekpieces last spring (2m7f/2m5f) but has been out of form (in various headgear) in recent months; sure to appreciate this ease in grade but needs to turn a corner; cheekpieces refitted. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Resumed winning ways in first-time blinkers at Newcastle (2m4f) in November but very in and out since, pulled up in 2m6f Leicester handicap chase 25 days ago; he's not easy to warm to today. |
14/1 |

20th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Inconsistent this season but won in first-time blinkers at Newcastle in November and looked unlucky not to add to his tally at Haydock (also 2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago, when a last-fence error was costly; up another 4lb for that but could have more to offer if in the right mood again. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won over fences here (2m4f, good to soft) on New Year's Eve but began this year with two disappointing runs; reverts to hurdling after 261-day break and with usual cheekpieces missing; others have much less to prove. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Ran fairly well when second over hurdles at Fontwell (2m5f, good) in May, albeit no threat to winner Doc McCoy and subsequently disqualified after rider weighed in light, but was tailed off over fences last month and has become unreliable. |

Ran fairly well when second over hurdles at Fontwell (2m5f, good) last month, albeit no threat to winner and subsequently disqualified after rider weighed in light; reverts to chasing on a workable mark but seemingly not in peak form this year. |

25th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Ran well on both visits here, winning over hurdles last March and second over fences in December; however, he's been out of form elsewhere on his last three outings, back hurdling on last two, and now has tongue tied first time; not proven over this far; 10lb claimer is recruited. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Landed his third success over fences at Ludlow (2m, good) last month after his challenger fell at the last obstacle; up 7lb but still on the upgrade and should not be far away. |
11/4 |

1st 3 |
19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 212y Class 4 |

1-1 here, that win coming over C&D (good; 18-1) in November on his penultimate start; not beaten far when fourth of six at Doncaster (also about 2m, good to soft) the following month and he's another who is firmly in calculations. |
