9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Very talented in his prime; this 10yo isn't the force of old and today's race is much tougher than the hunter chases he's won easily on his last two starts (2m4f, good to soft/good) but if he can tap further into his back-class he may well be in the mix; James King has won this twice. |

Listed winner in his prime and has made a solid start to hunter chasing, namely a close second and easy success at Wincanton; should follow up. |

Powers were on the decline when confined to hurdling last season but he was a classy chaser back in the day and nearly won his first hunter chase over 3m1f here a month ago (heavy); may need that longer trip now but strong claims otherwise. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
His second success over fences came at this track (2m6f, good) last June; has been beaten in hunter chases/points since and makes stable debut; may be better suited by 3m but not out of this. |

7th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 54y Class 4 |

18-1 when pulled up in Macklin's race here last month and only third of four runners in subsequent point. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Won Class 4 Stratford handicap (2m6f, good) last June and returned from layoff with creditable second in Wincanton hunter chase (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; that form puts him on the premises here and he stays 3m perfectly well but he's far too inconsistent to rely upon. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Won races for Paul Nicholls and Will Biddick and his last success was in a hunter chase at Wincanton (3m1f, heavy) last January; that form puts him in the picture and he made a respectable stable debut when third at Exeter (3m, good to soft) last month; possibilities. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Put poor reappearance run behind him when signing off for Paul Nicholls with fair third in Wincanton hunter chase (2m4f, good to soft; behind Gateau De Miel) last month; will be fine over this longer trip and has each-way claims if in similar form for new yard; cheekpieces removed after one use. |

12st 0lb |
Very useful for Willie Mullins and ran pretty well over these fences in the 2023 Topham; following a long absence this 11yo hasn't been devoid of promise for his new yard, but needs to take a significant step forward. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Very useful when trained in Ireland by Willie Mullins; kicked off for this yard after a long absence but ran well in that race at Taunton (2m5f, good) after wind surgery, finishing best of the rest behind the smart Unexpected Party; enters the reckoning. |

Useful handicapper for Dan Skelton but looks regressive judged on his recent pointing exploits. |
