3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Back from wind surgery when winning narrowly at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) but well beaten off this 5lb higher mark back there, finishing behind Thickthorn Tom; unraced beyond 2m5f. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Had wind surgery before he cashed in on a falling mark to open account over C&D (good to soft) last month; up 5lb for that head success but recent form counts for plenty in this race and he's a big player. |

8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
11-race maiden with unconvincing record over fences this season (five attempts; remote when third last time); needs recent wind op to have made a difference. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Gave very good account when close second over C&D (good to soft) last month and subsequent fifth of 12 over C&D (good) was perfectly respectable but his overall strike-rate is just 1-35 and others appeal more. |
5/1 |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Just 1-34 under rules but the win came here (in 2023) and he went very close to a second course success 16 days ago, going down by only a head over this trip on good to soft; another who could be involved in the finish. |

8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |

Just 1-33 under rules but the win came here (in 2023) and he gave a good account when second from out of the weights at Hereford (2m5f, good) last month, after a break; could have a say. |

8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Well beaten in three maiden hurdles in the autumn but 2-2 since switched to handicap chases this year, with both wins gained in small fields at Plumpton (2m4f, soft/good); has a bit more on his plate today but may still have more improvement to come. |

9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |

Well beaten in three maiden hurdles in the autumn but looked a different horse on chase/handicap debut a fortnight ago, winning comfortably by 9.5l over C&D (soft); 12lb higher today but could easily have more to offer. |

6th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Course winner; a lot of his form is over shorter but he proved his stamina for 3m when runner-up at Ffos Las two weeks ago (good); unlikely to be far away off the same mark. |
5/1 |

2nd 10 |
21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Produced a remarkable late surge to snatch what had looked an unlikely victory at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft; blinkers removed) last month but this inconsistent 9yo tends to race lazily nowadays and got going too late when back at Fontwell a fortnight ago; other are much less risky. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
0-7 over hurdles though reaching the frame on three starts at Plumpton this year, all over 2m; made an underwhelming switch to fences last month at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) trailing in last of the five finishers; needs to raise her game. |

8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
0-7 over hurdles but made the frame on all three outings this year (all over 2m at Plumpton); moves back up in trip for this chasing debut with cheekpieces (worn once) removed; seems versatile regarding ground; can feature if he gets into a good jumping rhythm. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Dual C&D winner, latterly on good ground last April; her infrequent going days are difficult to foretell, though, and she was soundly beaten here (2m2f) ten days ago; 1lb out of the weights. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Course regular who has won twice (about 2m3f, good) and been placed on another four occasions from 15 visits; last won just over a year ago but looked to have something to offer when unseating four out in April and it was too far out to tell how she'd have fared when falling, again here, last time; 2lb wrong but she's not dismissed. |
20/1 |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Pulled up on her final two outings in 2025 but looked in much better form back from a break here 16 days ago, moving well close to the pace when unseating four out; has won the last two runnings of this race off similar marks and could be set for another bold bid. |

8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Well beaten in all three hurdle races this season and now 0-12 in that sphere; swaps usual cheekpieces for first-time visor on this chasing debut; 4lb out of the weights; difficult to enthuse over. |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |

Suffered two heavy defeats since returning from a break late last year and hopes pinned on this longer trip bringing about some marked improvement. |
