31st Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Effective on good and soft ground; gained three of his ten chase wins over C&D; not firing on all cylinders since returning from a break in May, though, and needs last month's wind operation to have made a difference. |

3rd 4 |
7th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Has won ten of his 30 chases, four of them last year; hasn't been in quite such good form this term, last time finishing 8l fourth of six at Cartmel (3m1f, good), but he's on a good mark now. |

Admirable strike-rate of 10-29 over fences; won this 12 months ago off 1lb higher and had only five starts in the meantime, the latest respectable in a higher grade behind stablemate Stratagem; chance. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Only 1-22 under rules and clearly hard to win with but he arrives in form having placed in a second successive Highland National here (3m6f, good) last month; just as effective over this shorter distance. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 6 |
24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 6f 121y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Only 1-21 overall and clearly hard to win with, but he was runner-up in this 12 months ago and returns in form having been running well from 2m4f to 3m; in the mix. |
5/1 |

3rd 4 |

Sole win under rules came in a handicap chase in 2023 (2m7f, soft); stays 3m6f but nearly won over this far at Carlisle on his reappearance and not disgraced since. |

25th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 80y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Thorough stayer who made all at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in February and rebounded from a lesser effort when third at Perth (3m, good) last month; has never run here before but is sure to be suited by this move back up in trip. |
6/1 |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |

Disappointing at Haydock last time (3m1f, good) but successful at Doncaster before that (3m, good to soft); each-way chance. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 125y Class 3 |

Veteran who retains enthusiasm, and he jumped well and made all at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in February, but he's back up 6lb and probably in a stronger race here. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Has won two of his last three races (excuses for below-par run in between), latest by a neck from subsequent winner Axel Bleue (who re-opposes) at Worcester (2m7f, good); up another 3lb; a possible. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Scored for the second time over fences at Market Rasen (3m, good) in April when making all; pulled up after not being allowed an uncontested lead over C&D (good) the following month; still holds claims if on his game. |
8/1 |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Seemed to be running well in first-time blinkers before falling at Carlisle and he then made all the running under Gina Andrews at Market Rasen (3m, good); up 4lb but the blinkers have made a difference and should remain competitive. |

If he's to make the breakthrough it will probably be over fences (0-9; three seconds) but he wasn't pulling up any trees when last seen in the spring. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 3m 2f 39y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
He won at Perth (3m, good) in April and has produced some respectable performances since, but he was beaten nearly 10l when fourth of nine behind Upfordebate at Perth (3m, good) ten days ago and needs a bigger run today. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 54y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Last four victories all gained over Ffos Las's 3m4f trip in April or May (good, good to soft); present attainment level is conjectural, having survived just two fences on his recent first outing since last May. |
25/1 |
|

26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 6f 136y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
A regular in long-distance chases, with an excellent record at Ffos Las but pulled up on all four appearances over these fences (twice in Welsh National); he's now a 13yo with no win since May 2024 (his only race under Edward Vaughan) but some ability remained last spring when last seen and he's accelerating down the weights. |
12/1 |

3rd 4 |
26th May 2025 Good 3m 5f 80y Class 3 |

A regular in long-distance chases and faces an easier task than on some occasions; two decent efforts when fifth of eight at Newbury (3m2f, soft) and 21l last of three at Haydock (3m4f, good) in March but was well beaten at Perth last time; others preferred. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 157y |
11st 9lb |
Strong stayer but winless in over three years and 1-24 over fences; positive run when fourth at Haydock two starts ago but didn't show much over the banks lto; mark continues to slide and shouldn't be discounted. |
16/1 |

Third of five finishers in the 3m7f Edinburgh National at Musselburgh in February, not as good as his second in the same race in 2025; weak handicap form lately; well beaten in previous attempts at this course. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Hasn't won for a couple of years and that was over fences, but she shaped encouragingly reverting to hurdles when third at Sedgefield (3m3f, soft) in February, albeit beaten nearly 19l, and has fallen back over fences since; however, she's on a handy mark and is hard to dismiss. |

Ex-Irish; not the force of old and, having shown little in two runs after a break for present yard, is best watched for now. |
