21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
On a good mark now and was seemingly back in good form when close fourth of 11 at Chepstow (2m7f, soft) in February; tended to jump left and was below that level without cheekpieces at Carlisle (3m) last month but has possibilities if combination of drop back in trip, first-time blinkers and return to a left-handed track has desired effect. |
10/1 |

4th 4 |
8th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Got off the mark over fences at Wetherby (3m) in December 2024; little encouragement this term until fourth of 11 in 3m Chepstow handicap 23 days ago; this lightly raced 9yo is not out of this if able to build on that recent effort. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Yet to strike form after three runs this season (cheekpieces added two starts ago); back on a good mark now and drops in grade today but still needs to up his game; suited by soft ground; unraced on heavy. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
A four-time course winner; comes here on the back of a good head second of four in 2m5f handicap chase at Market Rasen six days ago; possibilities despite being 2lb out of the handicap. |
7/1 |

1 |
5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Nine-time chase winner; consistent in recent months, and bumped into a revitalised opponent when clear second of four at Fontwell (2m3f, good) a fortnight ago; will be fine over this longer trip; likely contender. |

3rd 8 |
21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Three-time chase winner (twice here); has form-figures of PU during light campaign this season but is 2lb lower than when clear second over C&D (soft; also suited by good to soft) a year ago; can't be ruled out. |
8/1 |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
3-12 over fences; on a good mark now but returned from a break with a disappointing run in December (first start after wind op) and has not raced since; would probably be better suited by slower ground and/or a longer trip; others preferred. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 8 |
16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 3f 83y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
The winner of two handicap chases last season (2m/2m3f, heavy/good to soft); failed to build on an encouraging return when well held at Uttoxeter in January but couldn't rule him out off a fair mark. |

4th 1 |
21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Came good over fences with small-field win at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in February but was not in the same form on his latest outing and ran poorly the only previous time he wore cheekpieces; others look safer. |
8/1 |
|
5th 4 |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Dual bumper and hurdle winner; mixed results in his first three runs over fences but he really got his act together when justifying favouritism at Bangor (2m5f, soft) last month; that was a four-runner race but he forged clear in the closing stages and a 6lb rise looks fair; shortlisted. |
9/4 |
|
1st 3 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Useful bumper horse and hurdler but has always struggled with consistency, a pattern that's threatening to continue over fences; however, if in the same form as when second to a sharp improver at Southwell two runs back (2m4f, good to soft; fine on soft) he'd have every chance. |

3rd 2 |
1st Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Blinkered for the first time when gaining a first success in 2m4f handicap chase at Uttoxeter 16 days ago; placed on both his previous efforts over hurdles so not taken lightly back in this sphere with his stable going really well. |
7/4 |
|
1st 1 |
15th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
0-9 under rules but has been placed six times; swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers and down to a career-low mark and will no doubt win eventually but doesn't look one to trust implicitly. |
7/1 |
|
6th 1 |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Latest race was voided just after halfway; still has low mileage and the time before he was third of eight in a 2m4f handicap at Uttoxeter, beaten 11l; now 0-6 over fences and he does look a tad high in the weights. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 3m 3f 208y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Got off the mark over hurdles here (2m4f) in January but twice failed to justify support sent chasing subsequently for Olly Murphy, beating only one in 2m3f handicap here in April; since changed hands for £16,000 and could still do better in this sphere upped markedly in trip. |
6/1 |

6th 4 |
21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
1-5 over hurdles, the win gained in course maiden (2m4f, heavy) in January; flopped when warm favourite for chase/handicap debut the following month but could still have a good future over fences. |
3/1 |
|
3 |
23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Got off the mark at the seventh attempt in a maiden hurdle at Ffos Las (2m4f, heavy) last month; his respected trainer sends him straight over fences for his handicap debut and this unexposed 7yo could have a part to play. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Looked a potential improver when convincing winner on second chase start, over C&D (good) last June; hasn't delivered on that promise since and was right off her game at Ffos Las in April; at least this is easier. |
14/1 |
|
7th 9 |
21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Won readily at Worcester (2m4f, good) last spring and is still lightly raced over fences but her subsequent three runs (latest was over hurdles) were disappointing and she's 2lb wrong on first outing since December. |
