18th Sep 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Four-time chase winner who returned to form with two solid C&D seconds in July before finishing tailed off back here last time; needs to put that effort behind him but isn't out of this if back on song. |
10/1 |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Four-time chase winner who has returned to form on his last two starts, both over C&D, latest when just under 2l behind My Girl Katie; 2lb better off with that rival despite a 3lb rise and should be thereabouts again. |
11/4 |

2nd 3 |
19th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Four-time chase winner but badly out of sorts before finishing second to a surprise winner over C&D 16 days ago (visor returned); remains to be seen if he'll be as good again and he may need more anyway. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Easily the most experienced over fences, and a 2m4f win here (good) off 17lb higher rounded off a spring 2024 hat-trick; no successes since, however, and it's a push to say this step up to 3m has long been needed. |

7th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won three chases in a row (2m-2m4f, good-soft) in spring 2024 but generally disappointing since; beaten out of sight when 20-1 at Newton Abbot 17 days ago; revival needed. |
10/1 |

7th 6 |
21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Completed chase hat-trick in spring 2024 but generally disappointing since; May's second of three at Ludlow (2m4f, good) was encouraging but she's been soundly beaten since and was weak in the market when an early casualty over C&D last month; easy to look elsewhere. |

13th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Multiple winner who is usually held up; he's not won for ages and Newton Abbot last time was disappointing, but his previous seconds (including here) bring him firmly into the equation. |
7/1 |

24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Quirky veteran who is usually ridden very patiently; without a win since September 2022 and not the force of old but has posted three good efforts since returning from a break in April and is very well suited by this track. |
7/2 |

31st May 2025 Good 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Lightly raced over last couple of years and no longer the force of old but has made the frame twice on good ground at Fontwell (2m3f/2m2f) this spring and is also suited by this C&D; usually ridden very patiently; no surprise if he features. |

13th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Five-time point winner and won a hunter chase just over two years ago; kept on well for a close third over 2m5f at Newton Abbot last time and this is probably more his trip. |
2/1 |

24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Pulled up on consecutive outings at start of this year but looked in much better nick when second at Warwick (3m1f, good) last month; should benefit from today's drop back in trip; must be considered. |

13th Oct 2026 Good 3m 1f 185y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has done well since joining Nick Scholfield, making it three wins in last four starts in a small field at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good); up another 4lb but he's the safest option here. |
4/5 |

1st 2 |
28th Sep 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
He's produced a good body of work since joining Nick Scholfield, including a 3l defeat of Depalma over 3m at Bangor earlier this month; he's 14lb higher than that day but latest narrow defeat at Kelso was no backward step (3lb lower; 2m5f, good to firm); stays this far. |
13/8 |
|
2nd 3 |
16th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Made all by 3l at Bangor (3m, good) on September 4 and won easily from the front against two rivals at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) last week; under a penalty he's just 4lb higher than last time; could be tough to beat. |
