3rd Oct 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Veteran who returned to form with an odds-on win in three -runner handicap here (2m6f, good) last month; this is a tougher test but he's only 2lb higher than last time and he has a good strike-rate (7-20) over fences. |

6th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Dual chase winner last year but was pulled up in his last two runs in this discipline and has been well held off his lower hurdle mark this summer; 5lb beneath the mark he defied here a year ago but has some questions to answer now. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Dual chase winner last year; signed off with two poor runs in the autumn but was respectable fifth of 13 over C&D (good) off his lower hurdle mark when returning last month; not out of this if that run brought him on. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Successful five times at up to 2m4f, including twice last autumn; clear second upped to 3m at Bangor (good) most recently, running at least as well as he's ever done; may remain competitive despite his new mark being a career-high one. |
9/1 |

2nd 5 |
23rd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Ran respectably when third of five over hurdles at regular haunt Plumpton (2m4f, good) last month; better known as a chaser these days but he looks weighted near best off this mark and is untried beyond 2m5f; has some work to do back in this sphere. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Has enhanced her good strike-rate over fences with back-to-back wins at Newton Abbot (2m5f) and Bangor (3m; again on good); it was harder work last time after a 6lb rise and she now has another 5lb to contend with, though last time was her first go over this far. |
7/2 |

1st 4 |
23rd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
8yo who made it 5-16 over fences when bouncing back with a clearcut win at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) two weeks ago; up 6lb but she hit a personal best last time and is a big player again if her stamina holds out on this step up 3m. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
A four-time course winner; comes here on the back of a good head second of four in 2m5f handicap chase at Market Rasen six days ago; possibilities despite being 2lb out of the handicap. |
7/1 |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Nine-time chase winner; consistent in recent months, and bumped into a revitalised opponent when clear second of four at Fontwell (2m3f, good) a fortnight ago; will be fine over this longer trip; likely contender. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Largely out of form over fences since winning at Newton Abbot in April last year but showed more spark back over hurdles when a staying-on third at Stratford (2m6f, good) last month under Richard Upton off this mark; back down in trip but could be involved if repeating that effort. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Two-time hurdle winner who is 3lb lower than when winning over fences in April 2025; hasn't come up to scratch subsequently, however, and tailed off over fences this July following an absence; others have far less to prove. |
20/1 |

8th 5 |
22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Dual hurdle winner whose only win over fences (seven starts) came at the expense of two rivals at Newton Abbot in April 2025 (2m5f, good); last three runs, in particular, leave him with some questions to answer right now. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
2-21 over fences and hard to predict, as recent efforts illustrate; returned to form over C&D in July before a heavy defeat six days later, which admittedly may have come too soon; given a break since but his inconsistency remains a concern. |
7/1 |
|
4th 2 |
19th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Dual chase winner from 20 attempts over fences; returned to form when second to It's A Breeze here last week where he wasn't unlucky despite some late interference; should run well with a repeat, but can be inconsistent. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
13th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Dual chase winner who has been more miss than hit since scoring in May last year; recent hurdle run in a first-time visor (retained) offered little encouragement, but he returns to fences off a handy mark; needs to rediscover his spark. |
13/2 |
