18th Oct 2026 Good 3m 5f 48y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Successful at Haydock (3m4f, good to soft) and Cartmel (3m1f, good) in spring; absent since good second, staying on, in the Summer Cup at Uttoxeter (3m, good) in June; this second-season chaser remains open to further progress and is still particularly unexposed over extreme trips; shortlisted. |

2nd 5 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Proving a strong stayer, with recent form featuring wins over 3m4f at Haydock (good to soft) and an extended 3m1f at Cartmel (good); doesn't seem a benefactor of the decision to reduce this race's distance to 3m; otherwise open to further progress over fences. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 2 |
11st 13lb |
Ended a long losing sequence in 3m2f handicap chase at Haydock in April; up 4lb but stable is going well so he can make his presence felt on his seasonal return. |
5/1 |

1st 2 |
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). |
9/2 |

3rd 1 |
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. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Missed 2024 and came up a bit short in his six races since, sent chasing for his five starts this term; shaped as if he stayed when third of five on the step up to 3m4f at Haydock last time but he needs much better than that; perhaps the subsequent wind surgery (his second) will help his cause. |

3rd 2 |
5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
A useful winning novice hurdler back in 2022/23; lightly raced since and has failed to win in four small-field events over fences this term, just a fair third of six in 23f Kelso handicap 20 days ago; has his first run beyond 3m here and needs it to spark improvement. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Runner-up in Grade 1 novice hurdle at Aintree (3m, soft) in April 2023 prior to very long absence; this 10yo has been runner-up in beginners'/novice chases on his three starts this season (2m5f/3m), bumping into the classy Wendigo last time, and he could be a contender now tackling a handicap. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 7f 199y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Easily made all in first-time visor (retained since) at Kelso (3m2f, heavy) last month and again ran well when fourth of five at Haydock (3m4f, good to soft) since; looked at home over 3m6f earlier in the season; chance. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Course scorer who resumed winning ways (in a first-time visor) in 3m2f Kelso handicap chase 20 days ago, making all and pulling right away from last as runner-up tired badly; up just 4lb here so big shout with headgear again sported. |

1st 1 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 2f 39y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
He's run well in defeat on his last two starts, finishing fourth of nine at Newcastle (3m6f, good to soft) in November and second of 14 at Ayr (3m, soft) last time; he may well be in the mix in a first-time visor. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Six-time winning chaser but was pulled up on his last two starts last term; cheekpieces worn on latest run are retained and has won following a break; looks the type to bounce back off 2lb higher than his last winning mark. |
7/2 |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Scored at Chepstow (3m2f) in October but he turned in a rare poor effort when pulled up in 3m5f Fakenham handicap chase in December; cheekpieces are reached for now and he's the sort to bounce back. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
19th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Scored by 4l in conditional jockeys' race at Chepstow (3m2f, good to firm) last Sunday, taking chase record to 6-16; escapes a penalty and commands respect. |
