15th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Finally came good over fences at Kempton (2m2f, good) and nearly followed up at Market Rasen, albeit when odds-on for a four-runner race; nudged up another 3lb for that defeat but still one to consider. |
7/2 |

2nd 2 |
14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Took nine attempts to open chasing account but the form of his win at Kempton (2m2f, good) three weeks ago was nicely boosted by the runner-up on Saturday, and this fellow is still on a good mark after a 3lb rise. |
2/1 |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Record of 0-8 over rules fences but form is largely consistent and this second run since wind surgery may be the time to catch him, especially with Sean Bowen up for first time; interesting today. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Bold-jumping front-runner with seven wins from 18 starts over fences; ideally served by further than 2m but won over this trip at Chepstow (good to soft) in April; ran well again when runner-up at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) last month and will be the one to catch. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
7th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Took form to another new level when winning by 10l from the front at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) last month and is now 7-17 over fences (includes course win); today's trip-and-ground combination will also suit; respected. |
5/2 |

1st 5 |
11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Record of 5-12 for current yard; campaigned mostly at longer trips but the way he shaped over a sharp 2m2f last time (ran well on return from break) suggests this galloping 2m may not be a problem; in the mix. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Consistent since sole chase success and has solid handicap form this season; receives hardly any respite from the assessor but gets other help on this occasion, with Harry O'Dwyer taking off 7lb. |

3rd 1 |
24th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 201y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Consistent since sole chase success and has solid handicap form this season; latest effort, in Sandown Class 2, received a boost when the winner followed up in Grade 2 event on Saturday; respected at this level. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Gained both chase wins three years ago; dropped 8lb since last run and looks attractively treated on best form but is returning from 16-month layoff; the betting may offer further guidance. |
8/1 |

25th Nov 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Solid spell culminated in a second-place finish off 8lb higher in this contest 12 months ago (good to soft); less consistent since but has a fighting chance provided he's back in top form. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Dual Fontwell winner and his other victories have come on left-handed tracks; hung in that direction on last month's visits to Kempton and he duly underperformed; should run better around here and this mark isn't beyond him. |
7/1 |
|
5th 3 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Perhaps needed the run in C&D event nine days ago on return from break; largely productive over hurdles/fences otherwise this term, winning five times; good chance if tapping back into that progress. |
6/1 |
|
4th 4 |
14th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Has enjoyed an excellent campaign, winning three times over hurdles in the autumn and also successful in handicaps at Lingfield (2m, good) and Plumpton (2m1f, soft) on his first two starts over fences; freshened up since a lesser run at Newbury over Christmas. |

All five wins have been over hurdles; 0-5 over fences and finished last of six at Kempton (2m2f, good) in March; others preferred. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Productive spell over hurdles culminated in a hat-trick last spring; 0-4 switched to fences since but ran encouragingly at Chepstow most recently; clear possibilities off a reduced mark. |
