15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Won bumper and maiden hurdle when on good ground; scored at Ffos Las (3m1f, soft) in October and runner-up in four of his other six chases, including when mown down late on in a big field at Windsor (extended 3m4f, soft) in January; ran poorly over C&D next time and well beaten at Cheltenham Festival on latest but both those races were much warmer than this. |

Won at Ffos Las (3m1f, soft) in October and runner-up in four of his other five chases, including when mown down late on in a big field at Windsor (extended 3m4f, soft) in January; progressive to that point but then ran poorly behind Grand Geste at Haydock on latest outing. |

7yo who has improved for the switch to fences this season, winning at Ffos Las (3m1f, soft) in October and finishing second on his three starts since, most recently behind Neo King in a big field at Windsor (extended 3m4f, soft); progressive and he could be in the mix once more up 3lb for last time. |

Hasn't been at her best of late (behind Smurfette latest) but she has the form to feature off this mark and won't mind getting back on drier ground; stays this far; possible. |

Gave good account when second on seasonal debut at Ffos Las (3m1f, soft) in October and remains on a workable mark but her latest run was disappointing and she'd arguably appeal more on better ground than is forecast. |

Dual hurdle winner; his third at Ffos Las in October reads quite well (3m1f, soft) but comfortably held in his three other handicap chases, the latest here; needs more. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Very useful chaser at his peak (last win was in 2021); not the force he was, but handicapped accordingly; fair fourth at Ffos Las in October (3m1f, soft; cheekpieces on for first time); not so good since (pulled up in Welsh National last time); blinkers now tried. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 3m 1f 60y Class 4 |

Very useful in his prime and has conditions to suit here but returned from long absence with three disappointing runs (albeit in good-quality races) towards end of last season; eased in grade and sports first-time cheekpieces for this reappearance run; revival needed. |

Low-mileage 7yo who made a quite promising chase debut when fourth at Newbury (2m7f, soft) in January; ran as though something was amiss when warm favourite the following month and not seen since but still has scope to progress from that Newbury run if all is well here. |

Not one to rely upon heavily and doesn't always look wildly enthusiastic but didn't run badly when fourth at Uttoxeter (3m heavy) last month and this track suits him well; on a good mark; can't be ruled out. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 3m 1f 60y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Best run during a fairly light campaign last season when second to progressive rival at Lingfield (2m7f, heavy) in February; contender if judged on that and Sean Bowen is booked today but this 10yo has not been seen since a lesser effort in March and he's too inconsistent to rely upon. |

10st 13lb |
Last won in the North Wales National at Bangor (extended 3m5f, heavy) in February 2024 with first-time cheekpieces; best effort this term was back in November (four races since) but he's down the weights, back chasing and some headgear returns after two hurdles races without; yard going well too. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |

Thorough stayer who is 1-16 over fences since his last hurdle race in March 2023; the win came over 3m5f in first-time cheekpieces in February 2024 but headgear is removed today; has easily the lowest mark of his career but he's inconsistent and hard to rely on; yard also runs Sparkling Duke. |

Reportedly appreciated the heavy ground when rallying to lead close home at Huntingdon (2m7f) last month; will be suited by the longer trip here but the ground will be much quicker this time and he's very unreliable now. |

Returned to form with narrow win in this race a year ago (heavy) and is now 1lb below that mark but well beaten all four starts since (three this season) and needs to bounce back again; headgear (worn for last two races) removed. |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 25y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Point winner (3m, soft to heavy) who was 2-3 over hurdles (wins at 2m6f/2m4f on good to soft/heavy); made a bad mistake and pulled up on chase debut at Ffos Las (3m1f, soft) in October; something to prove after that but he was sent off the hot favourite and this lightly raced 7yo retains potential. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 3m 1f 60y Class 4 |

Easily won slow-ground Irish point on debut in December 2023 and launched rules career with two hurdle wins here (2m6f/2m4f) towards end of last year; just a respectable fourth on handicap hurdle debut here (3m, soft) in January and absent since but looks a good prospect for chasing. |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Runner-up in a maiden hurdle over this far (on soft) and that's just about his best run; 0-4 over fences and has twice pulled up, though the third at Uttoxeter was encouraging and 1m7f would have been too sharp last time. |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |

Ran well against a hotpot in 2m7f hurdle at Lingfield (soft) last January; pulled up in first two chases but he wasn't too far away at Uttoxeter (2m4f, heavy; first run since wind surgery) in December, where a couple of late mistakes spoiled an otherwise sound round of jumping; blinkers are now tried and he needs a close look after another break. |
