14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Very useful chaser who made all at Ascot (2m3f) in December; off five months, ridden patiently but failed to get home when fifth of eight in 3m handicap at Perth three weeks ago; stamina again likely an issue here. |
8/1 |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
Five chase wins, all with give in the ground, the latest at Ascot last December (2m3f, good to soft) when wearing cheekpieces for the first time; no headgear here; has stamina to prove on first try at 3m, but stable continues in fine form. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Fitting of cheekpieces sparked a revival in December, when landing a fifth success over fences at Ascot (2m3f, good to soft); followed that up with a career-best RPR when third off this mark there (2m5f) the following month; respected but he'll need to leave behind a lesser effort last time. |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Won this 12 months ago on his reappearance when 4lb lower and then finished a 2l second to Primoz at Wetherby, the form of which could be reversed on these more favourable terms; consistent and should have every chance. |

2nd 1 |
23rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Has consistent form figures and should give his running but this 10yo may have to settle for a supporting role off top weight; returns to fences after two runs over hurdles. |

16th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Missed most of last season but returned from nine-month break with quite encouraging third (albeit well held in the end) at Perth (2m, good to soft) last month; on a good mark and will also be suited by today's trip-and-ground combination; contender if that recent outing has brought him on. |

23rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Absent since below-par effort in the 2024 Summer Plate and hasn't won for over two years; however, he's well treated on best form and market support should be noted. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 85y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
His strike-rate over fences could be better but he's pretty consistent and was running well in second when making a bad blunder at the final fence at Stratford (2m3f, good to firm) in August last time; might not be far away in first-time cheekpieces. |
11/2 |

3rd 5 |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Gained both chase wins over 2m4f; bumped into progressive rival when second at Hexham (1m7f, good) two starts ago and travelled well until stamina ebbed away over 3m at Perth last month; remains on a workable mark; can make his presence felt. |
6/1 |

5th 2 |
12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Gained both chase wins over 2m4f (one here); no match for progressive rival when second at Hexham (1m7f, good; first run after wind surgery) last month but that was still a good effort; a possible if suited by this new trip. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Returns to fences following a convincing win over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, good) nine days ago; only 2lb higher than when landing his sole success in this sphere (in November 2024) and must be considered while in winning mode. |

24th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Exposed four-time winner over hurdles but now 2lb below the mark he defied here last summer; could be sharper for his recent run after a break and Sean Bowen replaces a 10lb claimer. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Four-time winner over hurdles but exposed and was performing no more than okay when last seen in November; however, he could be all the better for a break and he's on his last winning mark. |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Veteran who gained four of his 14 wins here (one over C&D); ran much better than eventual 22l defeat might suggest on slower-than-ideal ground at Cartmel (2m1f good to soft) a fortnight ago; worth a second look here, even from 4lb out of the weights. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Veteran who has won 14 races in his career including three over C&D; 13lb below his last winning mark but his efforts since last autumn leave plenty to be desired. |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Veteran with three C&D wins and seven other chase victories on his CV; lurks on a dangerous mark but has been out of form this spring (cheekpieces added last time) and the ground may turn against him today. |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Regressive 9yo who is sliding down the weights; has two wins over C&D and has won off 9lb higher so cannot be discounted. |
