14th Jan 2026 Good 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
He's just 1lb higher than when winning at Southwell (3m, good to soft) last March; Ascot in November was a step back in the right direction but he was still below his best and this 9yo needs to raise his game today. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Spoiled chance by jumping poorly on final appearance last season but won with considerable authority at Southwell (3m, good to soft) two starts ago and has good claims if able to repeat that performance. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 185y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Hasn't been at her best of late (behind Smurfette latest) but she has the form to feature off this mark and won't mind getting back on drier ground; stays this far; possible. |
4/1 |

2nd Mar 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |

Solid record off current mark comprises a success at Huntingdon in 2024 and second-place finishes in this race last year and at Ffos Las in October; not ruled out. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Gave good account when second on seasonal debut at Ffos Las (3m1f, soft) in October and remains on a workable mark but her latest run was disappointing and she'd arguably appeal more on better ground than is forecast. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Runner-up at Wincanton (2m4f, good) in March and comfortably went one better when dropped back to 2m1f at Cartmel (2m1f, good to soft) in May; a 6lb rise isn't harsh and he's unexposed at this sort of distance; player. |

Opened chasing account at Fontwell (2m5f, soft) in December and bumped into a rejuvenated subsequent winner when second at Wincanton (2m4f, good) on latest outing in March; contender if this drop back in trip suits. |

1st May 2026 Good 4m 0f 218y Class 4 |
12st 4lb |
Beaten under 1l in this race last year (Myth Buster pulled up); won't mind the move from Cheltenham given his strong body of work around sharp tracks (including 2-2 in hurdles races here, albeit losing one for interference), and nice break since hard-fought Newbury win; ground fine. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Has a solid record in hunter chases and he chased home last week's Cheltenham hero Barton Snow (did win by 12l) before making light work of Java Point at Southwell (3m, soft; cheekpieces returned); in the mix. |
9/2 |

2nd Mar 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Consistent sort whose record in hunter chases (3m-4m) reads 1232; beaten by main market rival at Ludlow returned to this sphere last time (treated for post-race ataxia); solid and leading claims. |

Won two 3m handicap chases on good to soft last season; slow to find his form this term, but good run at Musselburgh last time (2m7f, soft); chance. |

15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 138y Class 4 |

16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
12st 7lb |
With new yard for last two outings and contributed to their recent good form with a C&D win (good to soft) from Another Lord ten days ago, with his usual tongue-tie removed; has 7lb penalty and a 7lb claimer is recruited; probably as good as ever but a bit more may be needed from him. |

Rather inconsistent for Tim Vaughan since Taunton win in 2022 and made low-key stable debut last month, but has possibilities in this lower grade if that recent outing brought him on. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Back in good nick for his two runs last month, latterly when close third to Wicked Thoughts at Taunton (3m4f, good); still unexposed over marathon trips and still on a workable mark; could have a say. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
9th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 85y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Dual winning chaser who confirmed his well-being when second of four finishers at Southwell (3m, good) eight days ago; steps up in trip and if that brings about any improvement then he should be in the firing line. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 3 |
1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |

Hasn't obviously been shaping as if likely to strike again (pulled up in Chepstow race Fern Hill was second in last time) but the fact he won over C&D on good off an identical mark last spring makes him a dangerous one to dismiss. |
