26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 6f 136y Class 4 |
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 |
10st 2lb |
Won the North Wales National in 2024 but nothing over either obstacle since; best efforts this term both recorded on slow ground here, albeit his C&D third last time owed most to the rider's perseverance. |

3rd 6 |
30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
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. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Seemingly back in good nick when second over fences in December but two lacklustre efforts have followed and it's hard to predict whether this first hurdle run since 2023 will rekindle his enthusiasm. |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Runner-up at Wincanton (3m1f, soft) in December but never going after an early mistake when pulled up at Ludlow since, taking his overall chase record to 1-18; first-time blinkers replace regular visor. |
11/1 |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Just 1-17 over fences, and last time's 5l second at Wincanton (3m1f, soft; kept on but never threatened) owed something to the late exit of Anytrixwilldo; mark unmoved but Rian Corcoran claiming 2lb fewer this time. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Has returned to form of late and gained his fifth chase success, at Ffos Las (3m, good) last month; there was no disgrace in finishing second to a resurgent Tommy Beau at Fakenham (3m5f, good) this month and he holds strong claims while in this form. |

2nd 9 |
4th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Revitalised 9yo who won stylishly on good ground over C&D and at Ffos Las (3m) last month; contests a much stronger race today but still needs to be taken very seriously in current mood. |
5/1 |
|
1st 6 |
21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
In-form 9yo who won four-runner marathon at Fakenham (3m5f, good) in pretty good style last week; also very well suited by this C&D and ground slower than good; respected under 7lb penalty. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 5f 24y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Thorough stayer but he was a remote third in this 12 months ago and nowhere near his best this campaign; an 11yo now and age seems to be catching up. |
8/1 |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Began this year with some respectable efforts, most notably when second in first-time blinkers at Chepstow (3m6f, good); should be fine on the slower ground here but has fitness to prove after 224-day break and others appeal more; cheekpieces refitted. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
9th Apr 2025 Good To Firm 3m 4f 85y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
2lb out of the weights; he was 3lb wrong and didn't jump that well but stuck to his task to be second at Chepstow (3m6f, good) in the first-time blinkers 20 days ago; thereabouts with something similar. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Has won over fences but two disappointing runs after an absence included a heavy defeat behind Esperti and his struggles continued back over hurdles here last month; has dropped to a good mark but with questions to answer now. |
33/1 |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Well beaten on stable debut in September but that came after a long absence and he's well handicapped on old form for Tim Easterby; gained both wins on good to soft ground but can handle soft; market may guide. |
12/1 |
|
5th 4 |
19th Sep 2025 Soft 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Won over fences at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) for Tim Easterby on Boxing Day 2023 and was still in good form when last seen in spring 2024; changed hands for £9,000 last summer; entitled to benefit from this outing. |

1st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
0-8 over fences and 0-16 overall but went close on seasonal debut at Ffos Las (3m, soft) in November and bumped into a big improver when well-held second at Uttoxeter (3m, heavy) in December; this right-handed track may not be ideal (jumped left at Taunton last season) but, otherwise, his claims are pretty solid; cheekpieces removed after one use. |
4/1 |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
0-6 over fences but was placed twice over C&D towards end of last season, latterly when staying on for clear second behind an improver (soft ground); contender if in same form again after seven-month absence. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 11 |
16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
11-race maiden with inconsistent overall form but his three completions at Ffos Las (3m in the mud on last two occasions) were among his best ratings; fell back here on latest outing; needs to find a bit extra to get off the mark but he's considered each-way. |

30th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Runner-up at Southwell last April but a long way below that level on his three runs since and this 11yo's sole win came back in November 2023. |
20/1 |
|

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Very inconsistent 10yo who sometimes races lazily and is never easy to predict; comes here fresh and on career-low mark but has presumably been overlooked by Sean Bowen today and cannot be supported with much confidence; versatile ground-wise. |
10/1 |
|
7th 7 |
7th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
3lb out of the weights; kept on for second at Southwell three weeks ago (3m, good) but this 10yo is hard to predict. |
