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. |

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. |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Won three small-field chases in early part of last season (2m3f-2m4f, good) and ran better than eventual 18l defeat suggests at Perth (2m4f, good; hampered by final-fence faller) last month, after a layoff; will be fine over today's longer trip and goes on the shortlist. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Continues to hurtle down the weights but latest 13l defeat at Perth was another unconvincing run. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Won four of his first five completed starts over fences (2023/24) but just one success since, a Newton Abbot handicap, and he wasn't finishing his races off last year; 185-day break may have helped but this forecast soft ground raises further doubts. |

12st 0lb |
Beat the only other finisher by 35l over C&D (good) last month on third chase attempt and second start in cheekpieces; open to further progress in this sphere and warrants respect up just 2lb. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won four times for the Skeltons but, following a good second on his stable debut here (2m4f, heavy) in December, he has been pulled up on three of his last four starts; hard to fancy. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |

Ex-Dan Skelton; went close on yard debut in December (2m4f, heavy) but then twice pulled up and was beaten 14l here 18 days ago (good); wouldn't be the percentage call. |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Absent since below-par run in December but returned from break with creditable second at Musselburgh (2m, good to soft; stays much further) in November and won when fresh last spring; has travelled from Northumberland for this race and Sean Bowen is booked; interesting. |
3/1 |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Did well for new yard last season with two wins at Musselburgh (good to soft/soft) and was back on the scoresheet at Worcester in May; absolute shocker at Warwick (also 2m4f, good) 29 days again, though, beaten 62l with no obvious excuses. |

Califet mare; half-sister to dual bumper winner You Oughta Know; dam unplaced in two bumpers (favourite each time), sister to bumper/2m4f hurdle winner Pont Aval, half-sister to smart 2m1f-2m6f hurdle/chase winner Pont Alexandre; interesting newcomer. |
