1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 82y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
10yo with a record of 3-30; has patchy profile and was tailed off at Warwick last month but he finished a close second at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) on his penultimate run; looks interesting on that form and first-time cheekpieces could give him a lift. |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Similar type to Thankyourluckystar, being a 10yo who finished second at Southwell (2m4f) last time but seems unlikely to go one better in this field, against opponents who are mostly less exposed. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Currently in a consistent vein of form, having posted form figures of 2212 in last four appearances; ran creditably when bidding for Fontwell double (2m5f) last time; solid chance. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Placed in three consecutive chases during the winter (2m7f-3m, good to soft) but this first hurdling start since March 2024 comes after a five-month break, so his fitness must be taken on trust. |
12/1 |

18th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Creditable third over C&D (good to soft) in December, after a wind op, and probably bettered that performance when filling same position at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) last month; remains on a workable mark and seems likely to be right in the thick of things again. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Scored at Chepstow (3m2f) in October but he turned in a rare poor effort when pulled up in 3m5f Fakenham handicap chase in December; cheekpieces are reached for now and he's the sort to bounce back. |
8/1 |

2nd 6 |
19th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Scored by 4l in conditional jockeys' race at Chepstow (3m2f, good to firm) last Sunday, taking chase record to 6-16; escapes a penalty and commands respect. |
7/4 |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 3m 2f 54y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
5-15 over fences; looked as good as ever when placed at Perth (3m, good) last month, after a break, and was runner-up on his only visit to Chepstow; likely contender. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Just held on to make winning stable debut over C&D (soft) in December but failed to build upon an encouraging reappearance run when tailed off at Market Rasen last month; others have more persuasive profiles. |
10/1 |
|
6th 5 |
14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Just held on to make winning stable debut under Jessica Milly Smith at Fakenham (2m5f, soft) in December and returned from break with fairly good fourth at Wetherby (2m3f, good to soft) last month; will also be suited by today's trip-and-ground combination; no surprise if he features. |
7/1 |

4th 2 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Won at Cartmel (2m1f, good) last August on penultimate run for Robbie Llewellyn and he scored on his stable debut at Fakenham (2m5f, soft) in December; he didn't look straightforward on that latest outing but this course winner is entitled to respect nevertheless. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 146y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
3m4f resulted in an 8l win at Cheltenham last April and he's won over 3m/3m2f in two of his three starts this season; latest was the Kim Muir at Cheltenham in which he was always front rank under Shane Cotter and responded admirably when Road To Home joined him on the run-in; up 7lb but this trip makes plenty of appeal and all five chase wins have been on good ground or good to firm (withdrawn from Scottish National last week due to the heavy); has a bit to prove going right-handed, with a run here in December prompting concern, but otherwise lots to like. |
7/1 |

1st 22 |
12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Hat-trick last year (2m7f/3m4f, good/good to firm) featured a spring win at Cheltenham; ran well for a long way before tiring at Sandown (3m4f) in December on going that was good to soft, soft in places; better ground today would be a plus for his claims. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won his final two starts last season and he made it 3-8 over fences when completing a hat-trick over 3m1f at Wincanton (the vet reported he was treated for post-race ataxia) on his comeback in February; up another 4lb but he seems versatile ground-wise and is open to more progress as a staying chaser; key player. |
5/2 |

1st 4 |
14th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Made his breakthrough in a chase handicap at Leicester (2m6f, soft) last January and he completed a double at Taunton (2m7f, good to soft) the following month; has been absent since then but he still looks feasibly treated and should have more to offer in this sphere; needs a close look on comeback. |

Now 8lb lower than when winning at Catterick last January but this 11yo has struggled this season; dramatic revival is required. |

18th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
0-5 over fences and 0-16 overall but may have benefited from latest wind op when keeping on well for third behind Safe Destination over C&D (good to soft) last month; 2lb out of the weights today but still considered. |
