17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Pulled up at Warwick in January last time but was in pretty good heart towards the end of last year and he's now 1lb lower than when winning at Haydock (3m, good) last March; also handles soft; capable of going well. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 5y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Only 1lb higher than for his Haydock win over a similar trip last March; does have a lot of weight though and was only fifth at Haydock last time, finishing just behind Gwennie May Star. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Not well handicapped but arrives here after a 3l second of eight at Uttoxeter when tried in cheekpieces (2m7f, good); no reason why he won't be involved once more. |

19th Mar 2025 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Won over C&D (good to soft) in April 2023 and returned to form to win on stable debut at Cartmel (2m6f, heavy) last August; however, two lesser runs have followed and he needs to get back on track after a break. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Well beaten on all four starts this year, the latest over 2m7f at Uttoxeter last month (race he won in 2025); dips into a much less competitive event here, though, and the booking of Sean Bowen catches the eye. |
9/2 |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Won this race off this mark in 2025 (good; 2-1 favourite) having run poorly on his previous start; was rather disappointing later on last season and has a bit to prove at present. |
14/1 |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Second in the C&D Grade 1 novice at this meeting last year; went on to finish first and second in handicaps over the extended 2m7f at Uttoxeter at the start of the summer but well below par both starts since a break, latterly at the Cheltenham Festival; combination of first-time cheekpieces and a return to this C&D needs to spark a revival. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Made the frame on all four hurdling starts since cheekpieces were fitted in February (2m3f-3m) and also ran well in first-time blinkers (retained) on recent chasing debut; suited by this track and still unexposed over this sort of trip; likely contender on return to hurdling. |
5/2 |

2nd 3 |
6th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Seemingly aided by cheekpieces over hurdles in recent months, making the frame four consecutive times on good ground (2m3f-3m); tries blinkers on this chase debut; can make his presence felt if he takes well to fences. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
12th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Won from well out of the weights at Ludlow and off only 3lb higher he followed up at the expense of three rivals (3m, good), taking his record there to 3-5; has another 6lb rise to contend with but has won here and has to be taken seriously. |
13/2 |

1st 5 |
10th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Veteran who bounced back with 33-1 success from well out of the weights over C&D (good) most recently, taking Ludlow record to 2-4; just no certainty to follow up, having been inconsistent for a while. |
7/2 |
|
1st 8 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Won a five-runner handicap at Huntingdon (2m7f, soft) in December but this veteran has struggled in five subsequent runs; has lots to prove and he's a long way out of the weights. |
40/1 |
