15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 125y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
A strong stayer but with a strike-rate of only 2-17 over fences and excuses are wearing thin; on the plus side, they were solid enough efforts on last two starts (3m4f/3m6f) and he nearly won off this mark on his reappearance (3m2f). |

22nd Mar 2026 Good 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Struggled on heavy ground two starts ago (first-time cheekpieces) but quickly got back on track with battling second at Haydock (3m4f, good to soft) this month; remains on a workable mark and good ground also suits; ought to make his presence felt again. |

Last win came here back in 2022 and he's not proving easy to catch right nowadays either, tried in cheekpieces when pulled up in 3m2f handicap chase at Wincanton in January; others are preferred. |

12st 0lb |
Grade 2-winning chaser who ran well to be eighth in the 2024 Grand National; last season ended disappointingly (latterly in the Midlands National when tongue-tie joined regular cheekpieces) but she was second in the 2m4f Listed race on this card before respectable efforts in the Coral Gold Cup and Welsh National (won by Val Dancer); stays this far and the handicapper has given her a chance; interesting. |

11st 12lb |
Last season was one to remember, winning the Welsh National and later second in the Grand National Trial at Haydock; 0-4 this campaign but it's been anything but a washout and he should be dangerous off this mark, for all that he's made his name over further. |
4/1 |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 4m 1f 56y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Won last season's Welsh National (extended 3m6f, soft) off 3lb lower and second in the Grand National Trial at Haydock; near that form on second start this term, before a lesser show (weak in the market) in the Surrey National at Lingfield; needs to be back at his peak and there are mixed messages. |
8/1 |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 4f 178y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Bettered underwhelming seasonal debut when placed over the big Aintree fences (3m2f, soft) last month and remains only 4lb higher than when winning last season's Welsh National (3m6f, soft); high on the list. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 3m 2f 19y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Got on a roll last winter when completing a hat-trick (3m/3m3f) before a respectable, albeit remote, second in the Eider at Newcastle (4m1f, good to soft); this race is a suitable fit but he now has to prove himself worthy of this high a mark. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Disappointing on his last few starts and a major turnaround is necessary; however, he's dropped to a dangerous mark and his trainer has an excellent strike-rate at Perth; no surprise if he bounces back. |

4th 4 |
1st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Comes with a caution label, having failed to complete the last twice; however, reasonably consistent otherwise so a good effort can't be ruled out; on a workable mark and drops back to 2m4f for the first time this term; has gained all jumps wins at about this trip. |

11st 11lb |
Promising fourth on reappearance here (3m2f, good to soft) in November and now 4lb lower; however, soundly beaten in Becher Chase next time and pulled up at Windsor (2m6f, soft) recently; has to get back on track. |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 42y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Showed himself better than ever when digging deep to win at Carlisle (3m, good to soft) last month; also successful over 3m2f there in November; yard won this race in 2023 and is having a stellar season with its chasers; has to be respected. |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Took chase record to 3-6 when winning here (3m2f, good to soft) in November on reappearance; has also won on soft; lost a shoe and bled from the nose when sixth of 16 at Cheltenham next time; no obvious excuses when tailed off at Market Rasen last time but shouldn't be written off now back here. |

1st 6 |
2nd Nov 2025 Good 3m 2f 19y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Restricted to seven races during the last two years; has won three of those (2m4f-3m), two when sporting new headgear (cheekpieces then blinkers); on a fair mark with the cheekpieces back on and could well have a part to play. |

Has won three times over fences, the latest over 2m4f here in March last year (good to soft; visored first time); hasn't done quite as well since; stays 3m and on a good mark now. |

Back to form a little out of the blue to take advantage of a reduced mark over C&D (good) under Gregor Walkinshaw three weeks ago; remains well treated on old form (won 2024 Edinburgh National off 11lb higher) but not sure to be in the same mood again based on his recent record. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 2 |

Losing spell goes back to his success in the Edinburgh National two years ago and current mark reflects a decline in his form; not sure to repeat his autumn C&D effort (neck second). |

Won this in 2024 (heavy) and he was a promising second at Carlisle (3m, soft) in November 2025 on his second start back from a long absence; tailed off at Haydock since but he was 7lb out of the handicap and made a bad mistake mid-race; he's one to consider now back down in grade. |

10yo who was in and out last season but returned to form when second at Hexham (2m4f, soft) in March last time; could have a part to play if conditions are suitable (he's unraced on good ground under rules). |
