17th Oct 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Second twice off this mark at Ludlow (3m, good to soft; wore cheeekpieces) at start of this year but out of form when last seen in the spring (blinkered for last two runs); needs to have been refreshed by 130-day break. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
1-15 over fences; runner-up twice in cheekpieces at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) at start of this year but didn't fire in first-time blinkers (retained) at Fontwell last month; others are more persuasive. |

6th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-5 over hurdles and 1-14 as a chaser; clearly difficult to win with but arrives here in a good run of form and always a chance that new headgear might give him a lift; an assured stayer. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
On the downgrade now and returned from a break with 37l defeat behind My Girl Katie at Newton Abbot last month; might well have needed that outing and has conditions to suit here but others appeal more all the same; wears blinkers and cheekpieces simultaneously for the first time. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Five-time chase winner (once over C&D); returned to form with a string of good efforts in the autumn but absent since pulled up in Fakenham marathon just before Christmas and entitled to benefit from this outing. |

22nd Dec 2024 Good To Soft 3m 5f 24y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Close second in C&D (good) Norfolk National in early part of last season and was a 3m course winner (good to soft) last November; needed considerable help from the handicapper before last month's Warwick success (3m1f, good) but has been placed twice since and the return to this track is an obvious plus; cheekpieces removed after one use; big player. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Has not really kicked on from his front-running win at Hereford (2m5f, good) in the spring but his Newton Abbot third (3m2f, good) in July was a good effort and this return to a right-handed track will suit. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Came good with front-running win at Hereford (2m5f, good) in April but his last couple of runs (2m/2m4f) were substandard and he tackles this new trip with some questions to answer. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Irish point winner; a bumpy road in Britain but he went close over C&D in June and came well clear at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last weekend; probably not straightforward and he has hung away from the whip but likely has an easier task under a penalty than when reassessed. |

13th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |

Very hit and miss and ran moderately last time at Newton Abbot (3m2f), but did finish runner-up there the time before so there's a big run in him. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Low-mileage 7yo; made inauspicious start to chasing career last summer but returned from layoff with creditable second over C&D (good) last month and has scope to build on that performance; must be considered. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Largely disappointing since winning at Hereford (3m1f, good) in October and found no immediate benefit from wind surgery when a 27l fourth of six at Fontwell (3m2f, good) a fortnight ago; entitled to improve for that but has something to prove at present. |
14/1 |

6th Sep 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Now 3lb lower than for narrow win at Hereford (3m1f, good) in October but largely disappointing since; reportedly made respiratory noise when well beaten at Newton Abbot in June and was given wind op during subsequent 75-day break; sometimes wears cheekpieces but doesn't today. |
9/2 |

6th 7 |
23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Returned from break with 36l defeat in April but last month's Fontwell fourth (3m2f, good) was more encouraging and the cheekpieces (worn for the second of last year's two chase wins) are now back on; won't mind if the ground is quicker than good; can't be ruled out. |

10st 2lb |
Seven-race maiden; ran well to a point at Hereford (2m5f, good) this month, after a break, but was safely held in the end and is effectively 2lb higher from out of the weights here; needs help from the new tongue-tie. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Has thrived since returning to action this summer, landing two wins over fences before registering her first hurdles win, over C&D (good to firm) 11 days ago; 4lb rise may not be enough to stop her winning again. |
2/1 |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
2-2 here over fences since returning from a break, latest when staying on best five days ago, taking her tally in that sphere to four, all at about this trip; yet to win in 20 attempts over hurdles, which does temper enthusiasm, and this is a quick turnaround, but she's thriving at present and hard to rule out. |
11/8 |

1st 4 |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Largely consistent mare who justified support back from an absence when landing a third chase win last month, her second over C&D; up 5lb but Alix Balfe claims 7lb and she'll likely give her running and be thereabouts. |

Kept on well for second over C&D (heavy) in April, her second run after a long absence; will be fine on today's much faster ground but her form has slumped badly in recent weeks. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |

Kept on well for second over C&D (heavy) in April, her second run after a long absence, and will be fine on today's much faster ground but has questions to answer after two disappointing runs at Fontwell last month. |

25th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Kept on well for clear second at Newton Abbot (3m2f, heavy) last month, her second run after a long absence, and will be fine on the faster ground here but was behind a couple of today's rivals when well-held sixth over C&D 18 days ago and, on balance, others appeal more; 1lb out of the weights. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Just 2-32 under rules but both wins were gained over C&D on good ground, the latter when keeping on just too strongly for subsequent winner Flashy Boy last month; 5lb higher now but a likely contender again. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Sole success in 31 attempts under rules came over C&D in July last year but he's lacked consistency since and, following a promising fourth here in June, finished 19l behind My Girl Katie over C&D the following month; has claims on his best form but comes with risks. |
10/1 |

5th 8 |
19th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Sole career success came in this race 12 months ago and a recent close fourth here behind Edgewell should have teed him up for his defence; nothing wrong with his mark for all that he's 1lb wrong. |
