16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Easily defied a 7lb rise for his Exeter win when strolling clear at Ascot (2m5f, good), albeit in a race that completely fell apart in behind; unlikely that this will be so straightforward off 8lb higher but arrives with his tail up. |

29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 13y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Consistent 10yo; he beat only two other finishers at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft; fine on good) and his pursuers appeared to underperform; however, the 7lb rise shouldn't be too damaging given he's performed well off similar figures in the past; solid contender. |

Ran respectably at Taunton last time and remains a consistent sort; scored off 1lb higher, beating Bonza Boy, on most recent attempt at Exeter (13 months ago); solid chance. |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Dual chase winner but below his best in two runs over fences during March; returns to hurdling off a realistic mark and has placed form in this discipline. |
100/30 |

2nd 4 |
29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 13y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won twice around Fontwell (2m3f/2m2f) during this month last year and well treated on all that; didn't appear to see out 3m last time at Kempton and the return of cheekpieces is a likely positive; goes on good ground; hard to dismiss. |

3rd 2 |
29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 13y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Listed bumper runner-up who failed to win over hurdles (0-4) but went in at the first try over fences at Wincanton in December (2m4f, soft), when well on top late on to collect by 6l (5lb lower); since then he'll pulled up and finished 13l behind the winner when only three completed at Doncaster (2m3f, good); he's not crying out to be backed after those efforts but there's no depth to this. |
2/1 |

2nd 1 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 31y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Listed bumper runner-up who showed improved form to win by 6l on his chase and handicap debut at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) in December; flopped at Hereford (2m5f, soft) subsequently but perhaps paid the price for chasing a strong pace and he could bounce back with a bold show. |

29th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 122y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Bumper winner who flopped as favourite in his two hurdle runs (2m/2m3f) last season but he bled from the nose on both occasions; had wind surgery since his last run and interesting to see if the money arrives for him again after 284 days off. |

27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Six-time chase winner who returned to form with a rallying second at Taunton (3m4f, good) last month; only 1lb higher here and has claims if he can build on that back in trip. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
9th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 85y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Six-time chase winner but now appears to be on the downgrade; pulled up when bidding to win the Grimthorpe at Doncaster for the third time in February and was tailed off at Ascot (2m5f, good) 11 days ago; can only be watched at present. |
12/1 |

29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 13y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Ran no race in Doncaster's Grimthorpe last month (3m2f, soft; blinkers returned) and he had a good record in that race; did run quite well there the time before; unwise to focus too much on his reduced mark when clearly not the force of old, but he has returned to winning ways from out of the blue in the past, and he'll enjoy getting back on forecast good ground; earns respect. |

29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 13y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Winning hurdler who is 0-15 over fences; placed a few times, as at Windsor on New Year's Day (3m, good), but lesser performances have followed and softer ground was no excuse; cheekpieces return after trying blinkers last time. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 48y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Back from a break to finish second at Windsor but that was over 3m and he fared less well at Huntingdon where soft ground was no excuse; still, always a chance that blinkers will sharpen up him and the trip shouldn't be a problem. |
14/1 |

6th 1 |
22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Recent Windsor second (3m, good; pair 13l clear) was his most likeable performance since last spring; effective on slow ground and over stayers' trips, but untried over both together, and cranked back up 6lb also. |
11/2 |
