9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Won by a neck in this race (good) last year off 1lb lower, having been third in it the year before; 33-1 sixth at Aintree last month suggested he's working his way back to that level, so has to be considered seriously. |
8/1 |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 9lb |
Won a good prize at Haydock (3m, good) last May; pulled up on return to action there in November but better when fourth of seven to Ma Shantou at Cheltenham (3m, good) on New Year's Day; being eased another 2lb can only help this C&D scorer but he requires a big career best as a 10yo. |

Pulled up (bled from the nose) at Cheltenham Festival in March but quickly bounced back with creditable second to Long Draw there (3m, good) last month; on a tough mark now but was placed in this race last year and probably won't be far away. |

12st 2lb |
Won four times over hurdles last season (2m7f-3m) but chasing didn't go to plan in the autumn and he was soundly beaten when back over hurdles on Boxing Day; needs to get career back on track. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 208y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
In excellent form in the spring, completing hat-trick with ready success in series final at Haydock (3m) in April before going very close in another competitive handicap over that C&D (also on good) in May; obvious contender if in similar nick after 168-day break. |

10th May 2025 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |

Ended last season in excellent form, completing a hat-trick with a ready C&D success (good; Thank You Ma'am second) in a quite valuable series final three weeks ago; last two wins were under today's claiming rider Callum Pritchard; probably still on the upgrade; good chance. |

11st 4lb |
Made very good progress last season, winning twice over 3m on New course here (good to soft/good); ended up with too much to do when finishing well for close third at Haydock (3m, good) in May and probably still has more improvement to come. |
6/1 |

Made very good progress last season and had three of today's rivals behind when coming from off the pace for driven-out success at Cheltenham (3m, good) last month; 6lb higher today but could still have more to offer. |

11st 10lb |
Irish raider who won a small-field beginners' chase comfortably at Kilbeggan (3m1f, good) last month and was not disgraced in a valuable 2m6f handicap hurdle at the recent Galway festival; still unexposed over fences; commands respect. |
4/5 |

9th 4 |
2nd Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 108y |
11st 9lb |
In fine form over fences and hurdles; has won two of his last four starts, a conditions hurdle at Down Royal and a beginners' chase on latest at Kilbeggan; decent efforts in handicaps at Haydock and Kilbeggan sandwiched between those wins; needs a little bit more off current mark. |
12/1 |

1st 7 |
11th Jul 2025 Good 3m 1f 80y |

Rated 133 over hurdles, most recent win coming in 3m Down Royal conditions event in May (good) and solid efforts since back in handicaps; ran twice over fences last year, faller four out at Listowel on second occasion when lying in second; in good heart and one to consider if taking to fences a second time around. |

5th 1 |
15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Sent chasing this season and has been inconsistent (made a respiratory noise on penultimate start) but it looks as if he is best away from soft/heavy ground and won in clearcut fashion in a five-runner C&D race (good to soft) six weeks ago; 6lb higher today but 5lb claimer is recruited and he has more to offer as a stayer. |
7/2 |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
A fairly useful winning hurdler who advanced his form on just his second run in this sphere when runner-up in 3m Doncaster handicap in December; pulled up in similar event there (reportedly made a respiratory noise) following month though so needs to bounce back. |

12st 1lb |
Returned from layoff with three below-par chase/hurdle runs in February/March but, having swapped cheekpieces for blinkers, fared much better on last two appearances; lost out only by a nose after making most of the running at Warwick (3m1f, good) last time; can make another bold bid. |

2nd 2 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Back hurdling the last twice after a brief stint over fences; the first time he'd worn these aids combined when a front-running third at Wetherby (3m, good; beaten 4.25l); exposed but firmly in the mix. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 3 |

Not solid on his chase/hurdles form this year; previously a consistent sort in this sphere and has a fighting chance off current mark back down in grade, provided he's resurgent. |

Two wins last season, the first a four-runner Huntingdon handicap in May (3m1f, good), the second a six-runner handicap at Newbury (3m, good to soft) in March; far from disgraced in a competitive race at Aintree last time and not without a chance despite career-high mark. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |

Ridden last ten starts by William Maggs; seventh hurdle win when seeing off five rivals at Newbury (3m, good to soft) three weeks ago but even a 2lb nudge seems likely to stop him in this much more competitive scenario. |
25/1 |
|
1st 5 |
20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |

Ridden last nine starts by William Maggs; rarely seen on soft ground; six-time winner, most recently last May; good placed efforts at about 3m four times in a row in October-December, before he failed to show in a Pertemps qualifier at Musselburgh (10-1) nearly seven weeks ago; best form this term was over C&D, so he's not entirely ruled out. |

Dual hurdle winner for James Owen, most recently at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft) in March; backed that up with a solid effort next time but was beaten 22l when favourite back there 18 days ago, which leaves him with a bit to prove; makes stable debut with the booking of Sean Bowen catching the eye. |

6th 7 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 3 |

C&D scorer in March (good to soft) on his first realistic staying assignment, and 3lb badly in when not quite up to defying a penalty next time; of renewed interest after a break, and a winner on good also. |

4th 6 |
27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 3 |

Seems badly in under a penalty for recent 2m7f success at Market Rasen, with future mark 3lb lower; however, remains unexposed at this sort of distance and may show the progress that's needed to follow up. |

Just did enough to pip My Bobby Dazzler in this race last year (good ground; wore cheekpieces) and returned to form with front-running success in first-time visor at Newbury (3m, good to soft) in March; safely held, though, in Cheltenham race won by Long Draw in April and remains on career-high mark. |

It was the middle leg of a hat-trick when beating Harbour Lake in this 12 months ago and the first-time visor triggered a return to form at Newbury last time (3m, good to soft; made all); has to be considered off 4lb higher. |

Very well handicapped on staying form as recent as last March and it's possible the step back up in trip will be a positive; however, unable to pose a threat across his six runs this season and has to raise his game. |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 3 |

Has had a disappointing season so far, beaten 26l+ on first four starts before a more encouraging front-running effort in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Ascot (2m3.5f, soft) nine days ago; 6lb lower than latest win last March and eased in class so hard to dismiss completely. |

Went up 5lb for winning a Class 4 at Hereford (3m1f, soft) and raised another 1lb for his second in a better race at Haydock (3m1f, good), finishing just ahead of Jacks Parrot; this 11yo is thriving and entitled to play a part in the finish. |
