28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 1 |
11st 9lb |
Seemed a non-stayer over 3m on penultimate start; readily justified favouritism at Kempton (2m4f, good to soft) latest, taking chase record to 3-6 and overall strike-rate to 9-25; largely progressive and a useful 3lb is claimed with Callum Pritchard back on board; one to consider. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Out of the money over 3m at Ascot last time, seeming a non-stayer; solid record otherwise since switched to fences, winning twice and posting two sound efforts; may have more to offer back down in trip; not ruled out. |
9/2 |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 185y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Overall strike-rate is 8-23; solid set of form figures (1213) since switch to fences, keeping on for creditable effort at Ascot (2m3f, good to soft) most recently; should be thereabouts provided he stays this new trip. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
3-1 favourite when easily winning the 23-runner Plate at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) last month in reapplied cheekpieces (retained); hit with a 10lb rise but that may not stop this 7yo, who could still have more to offer. |

1st 9 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 44y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Four chase wins for other yards, most recently in February 2024; 0-4 for this trainer but he achieved a lifetime best when close up on the New course (about 2m4f, good to soft) in December 2024, off this mark to an improver; has a strong record in other races here and looks to retain all his ability since back from an absence; regular cheekpieces refitted; rock-solid contender. |
4/1 |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Useful on his day, particularly in cheekpieces which were missing when he seemed to need the outing over Christmas on return from 12-month layoff; with the headgear again left off, the market may offer extra guidance. |

14th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Two wins over hurdles (good/yielding); useful form in defeat over fences this season, cutting out a lot of the running before fading into third over the extended 2m4f here (good to soft) last time; shaped similarly over 2m3f at Doncaster in December and this slightly shorter trip could suit. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Successful twice over hurdles; novice chase form this season includes a Grade 2 effort (2m4f); starting to weaken when taking a late fall over 2m6f most recently; interesting off current mark back down in distance. |
13/2 |
|
9th 4 |
25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 44y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Mixed form in handicap hurdles last season but he won at Doncaster (2m3f, good) last November and was third of 14 here (2m4f, good) in April when last seen; has shown promise on soft ground; not bred for fences but this prominent racer is not discounted on his chase debut. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Respectable efforts on both previous course visits, including a close fourth in this in 2024; weighted to strike, but must prove that the effects of the cheekpieces aren't on the wane after a sub-par latest effort. |
5/1 |

3rd 2 |
23rd May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won twice over fences at around this trip last spring; not so good since but is 1lb lower than his last winning mark so cannot be ruled out. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 4 |

Won twice last spring at about this trip but essentially underwhelming since, albeit in better races than this; the drop in class should be welcomed. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Four-time chase winner and his last success was in this race (off 2lb lower) last year; has been in and out this season but he bounced back with a fair third in Class 2 handicap at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) two weeks ago; has possibilities if he can back that up and he's versatile ground-wise. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Inconsistent this season but has finished a good second on two occasions (November/December) and filled the same position in this race 12 months ago prior to beating Heltenham at Newton Abbot; well capable of posing a threat, provided he's back to form. |
8/1 |

5th 5 |
2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Usually wears cheeekpieces; inconsistent (2P2P) this term but sole attempt in blinkers resulted in a good effort at Ascot (2m3f) on penultimate start; could go well in the reapplied blinds. |

30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 75y |
11st 2lb |
Out of form since his 16-1 win in this race last year; possibly back on a competitive mark now, only 3lb higher than 12 months ago; however, needs to step up on the form of his Aintree run. |
10/1 |
|
7th 10 |
9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
Soundly beaten ninth in this 12 months ago (good to soft) and tailed off on his last three starts; however, the return to better ground can help and he won a big-field handicap at Punchestown (2m, yielding) last May; on a handy mark judged on that Irish form and he's not discounted. |
20/1 |

5th 2 |
21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 2 |

Beat 22 rivals to win at Punchestown festival (2m, yielding) last May but looked out of sorts on both appearances since returning from a break in November and needs to turn a corner. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Has a record of 4-8 over fences and ran well on most recent attempt in this sphere (poor effort over hurdles since); on a career-high mark but she's the only course winner in this field and 2-3 at Kempton to boot. |
7/2 |

2nd 3 |
15th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Reverted to fences with a hard-fought success at Stratford (2m1f, good) and perhaps found good to firm too lively when tailed off back there 28 days ago; can be hard to predict but she's capable of a big run. |
6/1 |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Not really firing on all cylinders over hurdles this spring but reverted to fences with a hard-fought success here (2m1f, good; front pair clear) last month and has obvious claims if in similar form again today. |
