8th 7 |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
C&D (good to soft) and 3m chase winner (good) who is back on that last winning chase mark; has been better in this discipline and is on a handy mark but was unable to take advantage over C&D latest. |
5/1 |
|
4th 16 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Won over C&D in 2023 and was also successful over fences last spring but has not been firing on all cylinders this season and is inconsistent nowadays too. |
20/1 |
|
5th 6 |
14th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 5f 82y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Record of 1-10 over hurdles and has the same strike-rate over fences; his last success was in a chase handicap at Warwick (3m, good) last April but he's not matched that form since and was tailed off at Exeter last time; comes with risks attached after a break and his last hurdle run was 12 months ago. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Below best on soft two starts ago but he showed tenacity when hanging on to his lead at Huntingdon (3m, good) last month under Rian Corcoran; back up 2lb but he can find further mild improvement; respected. |
6/4 |
|
1st 4 |
11th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Made the breakthrough in a first-time visor when scoring at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) in December and he followed up at Taunton (about 3m2f, good) at the end of that month; last of three finishers when up in grade on soft ground at Doncaster in January but good chance he can bounce back in this company on the forecast sounder surface. |
10/11 |

3rd 6 |
23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Has improved all of a sudden since fitted with this headgear, winning Class 5s at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) and Taunton (3m2f, good); up another 8lb for last time but he had them well strung out and he's receiving plenty of weight from his rivals. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Landed his fourth win over fences, at Market Rasen (3m, good) last month but below his best at Fontwell since; is the type to bounce back and he should get the trip (has won over 3m2f). |
5/1 |
|
5th 1 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Progressive 7yo who has form figures of 1221141 over fences since September; only two completed when he scored at Market Rasen (3m, good) 19 days ago but he still looks on a workable mark and his first chase win was over C&D; strongly respected. |
7/2 |
|
1st 3 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
In excellent form on good ground in the autumn, winning three times over fences (3m1f-3m2f); well behind Dangerous Touch when reappearing in four-runner race at Huntingdon last month but might have needed that outing and his usual cheekpieces are refitted here. |

Longstanding maiden who has been struggling over fences and he's out of the weights here. |

5th 10 |
2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Quite well handicapped on last spring's form but was well beaten when back on good ground at Hereford in March and is now 0-24 under rules. |
16/1 |
|
6th 8 |
25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Didn't run badly when last of four finishers at Leicester (2m4f, good to soft; just behind Jack Doyen) this month, after a break, and will be suited by this forecast good ground but he's 0-23 under rules and remains difficult to enthuse over. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Landed his second win over fences when prevailing at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in March, after finishing runner-up twice; a 4lb rise is workable and he should be thereabouts. |
15/8 |
|
1st 2 |
31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Won a novice handicap off 4lb lower at Warwick last March (2m4f, good); two sound runs this time, notably when second to an in-form rival at Wetherby last month (2m3f, soft); contender. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 8 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
10yo who is lightly raced for his age; progressive in these cheekpieces last season, finishing second at Leicester (2m4f, soft) then first at Warwick (2m4f, good); close second at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) in November on sole outing this term; goes well fresh and entitled to respect. |

Completed a hat-trick over hurdles (2m4f-2m7f) for Denise Foster in the summer of 2021, but has shown precious little since including in 12 starts for this yard; look elsewhere. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Lightly raced maiden who is 1lb out of the handicap but he's finished third on two of his last three starts (3m/3m3f, good to soft/good to firm) and might be in with an each-way shout. |
12/1 |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
0-8 under all codes; bettered disappointing chase/handicap debut when very respectable third at Southwell (3m, good to soft) in February and could plausibly have untapped potential over today's longer trip but was back in the doldrums on latest outing in April and was given another wind operation (his third) soon afterwards; not easy to predict. |

13th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Beat 1-9 favourite when winning two-runner edition of this race a year ago (good ground) and was in front before last-fence unseat over C&D (good to soft) in October; returned from break with low-key run last month but remains lightly raced for her age, and her course form is a selling point. |
7/1 |
|
5th 7 |
16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Won a match at Fakenham in April last year and would possibly have doubled her score back at that venue but for unseating at the last in October, returns from another break and hard to be confident she'd repeat the effort. |
11/2 |
|
4 |
29th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Won a match over C&D in April (in this headgear) but that effort stands out among otherwise modest form and she was pulled up when last seen later that month; returns from a six-month break with a bit to prove. |
