1st 5 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
He's now 5lb lower than when winning at Newbury (2m, soft) last February; however, this season's form has been patchy and today's trip may stretch him; major turnaround needed with blinkers replacing cheekpieces. |
7/2 |
|
4th 5 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 92y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Returning from an absence when edging home in this 12 months ago off 2lb higher; his penultimate effort (here in first-time cheekpieces) was respectable and it's perhaps best to forget Sandown last time when his best form has been on left-handed tracks; respected. |

31st Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 99y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Raced mainly on left-handed tracks; gained two of his three chase wins at Newbury; ran respectably with cheekpieces added there last time; capable of being involved but has a question mark over the course. |

7th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Gained three of four chase wins over C&D and returns here after going close on final two starts last season (2m4f/2m3f; wore cheekpieces last time); holds no secrets from the handicapper but will be fine on the forecast good ground and has obvious claims. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 4 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
He's run well to be second on two of his last three starts (2m3f/2m4f, good/soft), most recently at Southwell four weeks ago; he's 4lb higher than last time but was clear with a progressive winner; high on the list. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Third in this last year; four-time chase winner (all at about this trip) but hasn't scored since November 2024; close second at Catterick (2m3f, good) on penultimate start but lesser efforts either side of that; remains below his last winning mark and holds each-way claims again. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 19y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
7-52; enjoyed the run of the race, making all, at Wetherby (2m4f, soft; 18-1; from 6lb lower) on penultimate start; ran to a similar level (third) behind the newly blinkered Rath Gaul Hill back there subsequently; no issue with Newcastle; player with Alice Stevens claiming 3lb. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 1 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
His last two wins have come over C&D (soft), the latest in January when last seen; also effective on good ground; this 10yo is inconsistent and has never won off a mark this high, but he comfortably made all last time and could well make another bold bid if he's on another going day. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Just held on to make winning stable debut over C&D (soft) in December but failed to build upon an encouraging reappearance run when tailed off at Market Rasen last month; others have more persuasive profiles. |
10/1 |
|
6th 5 |
14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Just held on to make winning stable debut under Jessica Milly Smith at Fakenham (2m5f, soft) in December and returned from break with fairly good fourth at Wetherby (2m3f, good to soft) last month; will also be suited by today's trip-and-ground combination; no surprise if he features. |
7/1 |
|
4th 2 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Won at Cartmel (2m1f, good) last August on penultimate run for Robbie Llewellyn and he scored on his stable debut at Fakenham (2m5f, soft) in December; he didn't look straightforward on that latest outing but this course winner is entitled to respect nevertheless. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Usually goes well over C&D - form figures 212 - that win gained from a 2lb higher mark (favourite) over a year ago; recent Wetherby efforts were not so good but there was plenty to admire about the manner in which he rallied behind Always A Reason over C&D (good to soft) in January. |
15/8 |
|
5th 7 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
C&D winner who was runner-up at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in January and filled same position at Doncaster (2m4f, soft) last month; disappointing over C&D last time but no surprise if he bounces back with a bold show. |
13/2 |
|
6th 7 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Two wins last season (including C&D) and he's run well to finish second on both outings this year (2m4f, good to soft/soft), most recently at Doncaster three weeks ago; solid contender. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Getting long in the tooth now and was well beaten on latest outing in March but has a C&D win on his CV and is well handicapped on form as recent as the autumn; cannot be ruled out. |
13/2 |
|
6th 3 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
12yo whose form has been up and down since he won at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) last February but he's dropped down the weights and performed respectably at Ayr (2m, heavy) in December when last seen; he could benefit from today's step back up in trip and he's in with a chance. |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 4f 19y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Veteran; winner over C&D in February off this mark (good to soft) but hasn't been in quite the same form since; withdrawn on account of fast ground last time; further rain will suit. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Well treated on 2024 winning form for Olly Murphy; last-time 11l fourth at Sedgefield (2m5f, good) rates a best for his current yard, but he can't afford to repeat that day's constant jumping right. |
10/1 |
|
4th 2 |
10th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Dual 2m4f chase winner on testing ground; well treated on his form of 12 months ago when with Olly Murphy; needs to be much better than in his three starts so far for this trainer; has had wind surgery since last month's Wetherby appearance. |
