1st 1 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Useful in his prime; drew clear to win Ludlow hunter chase (2m4f, good) by 13l last month and followed up in open point at Hornby Castle (2m6f, good to firm) eight days ago; obvious contender. |
9/4 |

1st 6 |
19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Formerly very useful chaser for Emma Lavelle who is 1-1 for Daisy White, having won at Knightwick (2m4f, good to soft) in November 2024; landed three more points last spring and his latest second at Cocklebarrow (3m) was a step back in the right direction after two big defeats; looks a player with this trip and drying ground in his favour. |
5/1 |

21st Jun 2024 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Kept on for respectable third at Chepstow (2m3f, good) at end of last season and is another 3lb lower now but it's over two years since his latest win and he's evidently not the force of old; cheekpieces refitted. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Honourable second to top hunter chaser Barton Snow over C&D (good) on rules debut last May and 3-3 in points this year; the one to beat. |

2nd 4 |
30th May 2025 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
3-3 in small-field points this year (good/good to soft); easily beat a fairly good hunter chaser in Dingley hunt members' race six weeks ago and is a contender here if that form can be taken at face value. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Creditable third at Cheltenham (3m2f, good) on rules debut just under a year ago and comes here after two small-field open point wins at Trebudannon (both 3m, good to soft) this spring; has a part to play. |
7/2 |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
4-10 in points (2m4f-3m) but yet to win in open company; in good form in that sphere early in 2025 and signed off the campaign with a respectable third on hunter chase debut at Cheltenham (3m2f, good) in May; recent return may have been needed, but he'll need to improve considerably to trouble a couple of these. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Made the frame (albeit safely held) in two good-quality hunter chases (2m/2m1f) last May and dug deep to beat useful rival in small-field open point at Charing (3m, good to soft; subsequently disqualified) in January; turned over at short odds in latest point but still enters calculations. |

3rd 4 |
30th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Should have stamina to spare as a dual Fontwell winner at up to 2m3f; fared okay deep into this month's Cheltenham stable debut (2m) but still beaten over 15l, and have to hope that run was simply needed. |
