31st May 2026 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
3-14 over fences, the latest win gained at Wincanton (2m4f, good) in November; just a respectable third at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good) this month, his second start after a layoff, and remains on fairly tough mark but still enters calculations. |

3rd 4 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Has three wins over fences but was beaten 28l when fourth of five finishers at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) four weeks ago on his return from a winter break; still 6lb higher than for his last success and others look better handicapped. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Had form figures of 23243221 last year and he was as good as ever when scoring at Wincanton (2m4f, good) in November; has won when fresh in the past but he's 7lb higher than last time and this is highly competitive on his return. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Good-ground specialist who was a course winner in 2024 and returns here after two good efforts this spring, the latter a close fourth at Aintree (2m4f, good) 16 days ago; respected. |
3/1 |

4th 4 |
15th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Enjoys good ground; bumped into the enigmatic Numitor on a good day at Hereford last month (2m5f) but this 10yo also struggles with his consistency; he's capable but risky enough. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Enjoys good ground on which he beat the useful Mahons Glory by 8l at Market Rasen in September (2m5f); tailed off since then on either side of a 140-day break but those were strong handicaps; respected. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Just held on to make winning stable debut over C&D (soft) in December but failed to build upon an encouraging reappearance run when tailed off at Market Rasen last month; others have more persuasive profiles. |
10/1 |

6th 5 |
14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Just held on to make winning stable debut under Jessica Milly Smith at Fakenham (2m5f, soft) in December and returned from break with fairly good fourth at Wetherby (2m3f, good to soft) last month; will also be suited by today's trip-and-ground combination; no surprise if he features. |
7/1 |
|
4th 2 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Won at Cartmel (2m1f, good) last August on penultimate run for Robbie Llewellyn and he scored on his stable debut at Fakenham (2m5f, soft) in December; he didn't look straightforward on that latest outing but this course winner is entitled to respect nevertheless. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Hit prolonged flat spots before keeping on for modest fourth over 2m on latest two appearances, the latest at Warwick this month; on a good mark now and this step back up in trip could be the right move but it remains to be seen whether Jack Quinlan can keep him in touch this time. |
4/1 |

4th 6 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Only 1-9 over fences but runner-up four times; seems best at Doncaster but on a fair mark and he's able when fresh; Cobden booked. |
9/2 |
|
4th 4 |
2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Probably best known for his exploits at Doncaster; won in good style there (2m, good) in February but has fitness to prove after 220-day break and his record at this track is not good. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Well below best last season but exploited some help from the handicapper when winning in pretty good style at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) this month; even after a 5lb rise, he's still 5lb lower than when winning this race in 2025; good chance. |

1st 2 |
7th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Well handicapped if judged on his two good-ground wins in cheekpieces last spring (2m7f/2m5f) but has been well below best (in various headgear) in recent months; ran well for a long way before weakening quickly at Market Rasen (3m, good) last time and might benefit from this drop back in trip but others have much less to prove. |
10/1 |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Well handicapped if judged on his two good-ground wins in cheekpieces last spring (2m7f/2m5f) but has been out of form (in various headgear) in recent months; sure to appreciate this ease in grade but needs to turn a corner; cheekpieces refitted. |
