16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 207y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Won on chase debut at Hexham (1m7f, good) last May and close third of six at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) in December; however, beaten 20l in fifth when upped in grade at Haydock (2m, good to soft) last month and remains in Class 3 company today; a career-best is required. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 67y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Won on chase debut at Hexham (1m7f, good) last May and some good runs since, most recently close third of six at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) after a break; however, a career-best is needed now back up in grade. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Mixes chasing with hurdling and he's stuck on a losing run; last three efforts thoroughly underwhelming. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 77y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Course winner but it's now 16 starts since his last victory and he came in a remote fifth of seven over C&D on Boxing Day; he's not one to rely on. |
9/1 |

25th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Last win was at Cartmel in August 2024 (2m1f, soft); best run since when third over same C&D in July (good); bit disappointing last twice, but no surprise if he were to run well. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Triple chase winner including over C&D but he's been beaten 35l in both runs since returning from an absence in May; has something to prove and he needs a major revival. |
12/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Dual course winner (2m), who sits 5lb below his last winning mark; finished a remote third to Conquer The Breeze here latest, so it's difficult to work out how he goes about making up such a deficit, even acknowledging more favourable terms. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Not one to rely upon heavily nowadays but won gamely off 5lb lower here (2m4f, good) in April and his recent C&D second was also a good effort; could have a say. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Game winner here (2m4f; from 2lb lower) in April; excuse next time (saddle slipped) but less competitive at Kelso (2m5f, good; fifth, beaten 10l) a fortnight ago; needs to bounce back against rivals with a fair amount of upside. |
8/1 |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Ended a run of rather disappointing efforts when scoring at Hexham last month (2m4f, good) and better than he showed last time as his saddle slipped on home turn; interesting. |

20th May 2025 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
No win since November 2022 and he's struggled for form in recent starts, joining this trainer for the last three and well beaten in a 2m selling hurdle here on latest; visor applied for just his second attempt - last of five in the other - over fences; unlikely candidate. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
2m4f maiden point winner for James Owen three years ago, but recent efforts have reaffirmed that staying that and longer trips is otherwise often beyond her; 3lb drop is not persuasive; tongue tie retained. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Won a point in 2023 but unseated mid-race on chase debut a year ago and recently returned from layoff with ordinary run over hurdles (0-7); tongue-tie is now added. |
8/1 |
|
7th 10 |
6th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Point winner in May 2023 (2m4f, good); mainly modest form over hurdles and fences; best watched having been off since last May (bled from the nose). |
