8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 135y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Four chase wins, the latest from the front off reduced mark at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) in February; just a respectable third of five at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) last month but could be hard to catch if able to dominate here. |

3rd 4 |
5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Showed the benefit of a wind op when making all to exploit reduced mark at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) last month; went back up 8lb for that but this right-handed track should also suit; likely contender. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Not an instant success over fences this season but cheekpieces seem to have helped lately and he won by 5l off a reduced mark here (2m1f, good to soft) last month; moves up in grade today but should be fine over the longer trip and might use that recent success as a springboard. |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
12-race maiden; ran his best race over fences when third to a subsequent winner at Ludlow last time (2m, soft; first-time cheekpieces); headgear retained; a possible. |

3rd 1 |
18th Feb 2026 1m 7f 212y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Lightly raced 8yo; dropped to 2m1f from 2m4f he ran better to be beaten about 12l at Market Rasen (2m1f, soft) a month ago; down 3lb with cheekpieces fitted and more appealing than a good many. |

14th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Won his first three chases (2m-2m4f on good/soft); lost his unbeaten record over the larger obstacles when only second of three at 4-7 at Aintree on Boxing Day but it wasn't a true test as the fences in the home straight were omitted due to a low sun; no surprise were he to resume his progression back from an 11-week break. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Unexposed 5yo who attracted support before staying on well to make winning seasonal/chase debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good; Mavis Pike fifth) last month; still looked a touch raw that day and should have a good bit more to offer, particularly over this longer trip; big player. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
2-3 in bumpers; well held in two of his three hurdle races last term but his third here (2m, good) in March wasn't a bad effort and he's now switched to fences for this seasonal/handicap debut; warrants respect, with pedigree suggesting he can do better in this sphere; tongue-tie added. |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 110y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Very lightly raced over the years; three respectable efforts in handicaps over hurdles and fences last year but has not yet proved himself a cast-iron stayer, having failed to find much when fourth at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) in December. |
5/1 |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Very lightly raced 8yo who had some fair form over hurdles across 2022 and 2023; shaped okay up to a point when fourth of nine at Wincanton (3m, soft) on his return from a 684-day break in February; switches to fences for this reappearance and, while pedigree suggests that will suit, it also points to him doing better over further. |

Safely held in Lingfield maiden (2m3f, soft) in November and not seen again since but was in front when unseating rider just before last flight at Worcester (2m4f, soft) in October and remains unexposed. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

2m6f winner at Stratford last October; another good run to be fourth at Ludlow in January (2m4f) but bit below that level since, last time sent to France. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Made all to open account at Stratford (2m6f, good to soft) in October, his eighth chase, and has performed well off today's mark on both subsequent outings (2m4f, soft/good to soft); up in grade today but still enters calculations. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Made all to open account at Stratford (2m6f, good to soft) in October, his eighth chase, and also ran well when second to very progressive rival at Warwick (2m4f, soft) the following month; had wind op during 57-day break; can give this a good shot. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Well held by Chuggy on her chase debut/reappearance at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in October but she was by no means done with when coming down at the last at Fakenham (2m5f, good to soft) three weeks ago; got a 1lb nudge for that and should be competitive if it hasn't left a mark. |

29th Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Dual 2m course winner over hurdles, most recently off 2lb lower; shaped as though her chase debut was needed this month when back from a break and her pedigree suggests she may improve for this longer trip. |
