28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Maiden prior to easily justifying favouritism at Stratford (2m6f, good) on chase/seasonal debut, improving plenty for the change of sphere; defied top weight on that occasion and, despite 8lb rise, is now at the other end of the handicap upped in grade; respected. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
0-12 over hurdles but returned from break with two pretty good efforts towards end of last season, latterly third off today's mark at Newcastle (2m6f, good to soft); has a fighting chance if he takes well to chasing. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has only finished out of the first two twice in 11 runs over fences; should be sharper for her second at Stratford (2m7f, good) last month, following an eight-month absence, and holds place claims at least. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
5-10 over fences, including good-ground C&D win; absent since safely held in competitive race at Cheltenham in October but resumes on a workable mark and has won when fresh before; respected. |
7/2 |

24th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
4-9 over fences; creditable second in Class 2 chase at Uttoxeter (3m2f, good) this summer and filled same position behind revitalised opponent at Worcester (2m7f, good) last month; holds each-way claims at least. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Hasn't always needed as many as two runs back to hit his straps, so arguably has a bit to prove now having posted only well-beaten thirds on his two starts this summer; has returned to his last winning mark, though. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Long in the tooth and rather inconsistent nowadays but only 2lb higher than for course win (2m5f, good) in October and might have needed the run when well-held third (behind Two To Tango) over that trip here last month; could have a say. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
A summer jumper who mixes hurdling with chasing; won here over fences (2m5f, good) last October; returns from a six-month break and has never won following such an absence. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
In the frame all six starts since switch to chasing in the autumn, including course win (2m3f, good) in first-time cheekpieces in March; ran big race when second (albeit well held in the end) over 2m5f here last month; strong claims if stamina holds out over this longer trip. |

2nd 3 |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
After being placed 12 times he gained an overdue success around here (2m3f, good) in March; let down by his jumping at Warwick since but looks sure to be thereabouts. |
7/4 |
|
3rd 2 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Mostly consistent in defeat over hurdles and the same again over fences until digging the deepest under a positive ride at Stratford (2m3f, good; first-time cheekpieces); must have every chance off 4lb higher. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Won twice over C&D last summer but has been beaten off this mark three times this term and likely needs to come down the weights before he can be seriously considered. |
11/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Easy to disregard latest Stratford outing (rider lost irons early) but form of his previous second there has a shaky look to it; remains 7lb higher than for the second of two C&D wins last summer (good). |
10/1 |
|

16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Dual chase winner at Worcester (2m7f, good) last summer; gave good account when second over C&D (good to firm; first-time hood) last month, after a break, but the market principals in that race disappointed and the form is of questionable value; others look better handicapped. |
