17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Well beaten on all four starts this year, the latest over 2m7f at Uttoxeter last month (race he won in 2025); dips into a much less competitive event here, though, and the booking of Sean Bowen catches the eye. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Won this race off this mark in 2025 (good; 2-1 favourite) having run poorly on his previous start; was rather disappointing later on last season and has a bit to prove at present. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Second in the C&D Grade 1 novice at this meeting last year; went on to finish first and second in handicaps over the extended 2m7f at Uttoxeter at the start of the summer but well below par both starts since a break, latterly at the Cheltenham Festival; combination of first-time cheekpieces and a return to this C&D needs to spark a revival. |

Mare won four times in 2024, including a pair of hurdles; winless since, but creditable efforts over fences last twice including fourth of 16 in Mayo National; trip and ground okay and has a chance at the weights. |

11st 10lb |
On the face of it work on to reverse recent C&D form with Perseus Way and Sunset Hill despite a swing in the weights, but course record prior to that read four wins and (off 8lb higher) a short head second in this race last year ahead of two reopposing rivals; respected. |

3rd 7 |
9th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |

Has won eight of his 21 races over hurdles; doesn't seem to be the force of old as was pulled up at Haydock last time having finished last of eight on previous hurdle run. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 50y Class 2 |

Tailed off on his final hurdle start in November and three subsequent chase runs leave him with further questions to answer; potentially on a useful mark if he can get back on track, but there are clearly risks attached. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
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 |
10st 9lb |
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 |
11st 2lb |
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. |

11st 10lb |
9yo who was below par on her last three runs in April-June; however, she can go well fresh and a break may have helped; this course winner is 4lb lower than when runner-up at Warwick in March and is not ruled out. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Runner-up at Warwick (3m2f, good to soft) in March under regular rider Cameron Johnstone-Baker and she's firmly in the picture on that form but two lesser performances have followed and she needs something extra. |
7/1 |

3rd 3 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Found a warm Haydock class 2 stayers' handicap a step too far last month (22l last of nine), breaking a run of place finishes dating back to the autumn; races off her last winning mark back down in class. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Ridden for over a year by Isabelle Ryder; 2-6 at Uttoxeter, including 21l win in this race last term off 3lb lower than today; out of sorts this April-July, with cheekpieces tried on last occasion, but much more like it when blinkers were given a go at Bangor one month ago and he came second of five to Ernest Gray; could improve on that if peak efforts are anything to go by. |
100/30 |

2nd 2 |
4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
In career-best form when winning twice over today's trip in October but out of sorts this season; cheekpieces didn't help much at Uttoxeter six weeks ago; blinkers are tried here; revival needed. |
12/1 |

8th 3 |
26th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |

Trip/ground is ideal but that was also the case when he finished tailed off here 19 days ago after wind surgery; that was his third underwhelming run on the bounce; tongue-tie tried last time is joined by cheekpieces. |

Inconsistent but he won at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last July and returned from a break with a close third here (2m5f, soft) on Boxing Day, staying on nicely; he's fine at this trip; not his fault when unseating mid-race at Haydock last month; could be involved. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 3 |

Inconsistent but he won at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last July and returned from a break with a close third at Wetherby (2m5f, soft) on Boxing Day, staying on nicely; he'll be fine now back up in trip and could be involved. |

26th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 149y Class 3 |

Returned to form to win at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in July and again ran well when fourth there (2m4f, good) last month; stays this far and is effective on soft ground; goes well for Benjamin Macey, with form figures of 29214, and he could have a part to play. |

Won twice at Doncaster (3m, good/good to soft) in 2023-24 season; struggled in 2025 on his first two starts back from a long absence then took a step back in the right direction when third at Uttoxeter that July; returns from another layoff today and the drop back in trip isn't an obvious plus. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |

Won twice at Doncaster (3m, good/good to soft) during 2023-24 season but returned from long layoff with two disappointing runs this term, the latter in C&D race won by Saint Bibiana last month; others have much less to prove. |

29th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |

In excellent form with varied headgear for most of the 2023-2024 season, but then had a long absence and he was tailed off on return four weeks ago; needs to be at his peak and some headgear (absent last time) returns. |

10st 12lb |
Close third over hurdles at this meeting 12 months ago (3m, good to soft) and won in that sphere at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) last July; ran pretty well in 5l third at Newbury (2m6f, good) in December when back chasing for the first time since 2023, but this 10yo needs a bigger performance today. |

Won with this visor back on at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) in July and went close at Cartmel (3m1f, good) the following month; versatile ground-wise and can be in the mix if continuing the good work after a two-month break. |

The four-timer came up short when a close second to Pounding Poet over 2m7f at Uttoxeter (good) but that was no backward step; a 2lb nudge does her no favours but this C&D winner is shortlisted. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |

Progressive mare who kept on resolutely to win similar race to this over C&D (good; first-time cheekpieces) last month and has now won three in a row; another 7lb higher today but still makes obvious appeal. |

29th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |

Completed a hat-trick early last season and better than ever on her latest two starts for wins at Huntingdon (3m1f, good) and Warwick (3m2f, good); up 6lb into a much more competitive race and wears first-time cheekpieces after a fairly workmanlike display from the front last time. |

Has the beating of Axel Bleue on their Worcester form in July (2m7f, good; 9lb better off for 0.75l), but was a long way behind both him and Mt Fugi Park when 27l seventh over same C&D last time (made a bad mistake three out); could bounce back. |

Hasn't won since landing a Warwick maiden hurdle in April 2024; has an inconsistent profile but ran well on his second start over fences when runner-up to Axel Bleue over C&D (good) three weeks ago; that run puts him in with a shout. |

Won three times in early part of this year, most recently here (3m2f, good) in April, but seemed to have gone off the boil on last two outings in May/June and current mark demands a career-best performance. |
