19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-7 under rules but ran his best race over fences when runner-up at Worcester (2m4f, good) eight days ago in first-time visor (retained) when attempting to make all; 3lb higher in future chases and should run well. |
100/30 |

2nd 3 |
11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Still unexposed under rules and was seemingly aided by new cheekpieces when second of four at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in March; that form isn't anything to get excited about, though, and he was well held when third at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) last month; now tries a visor; forecast rain probably not ideal. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Fast-improving 6yo who competed a hat-trick when easily beating three rivals at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to firm) eight days ago; carries 7lb penalty in higher-grade race here but should cope if the ground ends up good to soft (unraced on slower) and is 3lb ahead of the handicapper. |

1st 3 |
27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Cut little ice over hurdles last season, but he's been progressive over fences this summer and made it three wins from his last four starts when scoring at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month; up another 5lb but he's on a roll and could be a major force again. |

9th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 77y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Revitalised veteran who won at Worcester (2m, good; 4lb lower) and probably found good to soft too testing when fourth at Cartmel; less to prove than most in here. |
3/1 |
|
4th 6 |
31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Revitalised veteran who came second over C&D last month and scored at Worcester (2m, also good) 12 days ago; recent 4lb rise does look excessive but the forecast rain is probably not in his favour. |
3/1 |
|
1st 10 |
19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Four-time chase winner who has made the frame on all four starts since returning from a break in May, most recently when second at Cartmel (2m1f, good) last month; has his limitations and is not getting any younger but ought to give another good account. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Has shown bits of form over hurdles but needs improvement on her chasing debut. |
9/1 |
|
5th 10 |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Showed first form over hurdles when third of nine over C&D (good) in March on her handicap debut; failed to replicate that effort at Ludlow since. |
14/1 |
|
8th 10 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Improved form upped to 2m6f on handicap debut when third from off the pace at Stratford (good; lost shoe) last month; 3lb out of the weights again but she was only beaten around 2l last time and that was behind a progressive rival; dangerous. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
0-13 under rules but made a bright start to chasing when runner-up at Sedgefield (2m5f, good) in April following his third wind op; absence since is a slight concern, but otherwise he should not be far away. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 7 |
10th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Placed twice at up to 2m4f on slow ground over hurdles; below par when last seen in that sphere at Warwick last December; has since had wind surgery and is on a competitive mark if he is able to produce his best on his chase debut. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Encouraging second at this track (2m1f, good) in April in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) but has been tailed off at Huntingdon and Fakenham since; all of a sudden has a bit to prove. |
33/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 59y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-6 over fences; seemed to respond well to first-time cheekpieces when second at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) last month but was only third best on merit there and was tailed off on his latest outing; 1lb wrong here. |
5/1 |
|
5th 4 |
19th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Low-mileage 7yo; pulled up on consective appearances towards end of 2025 and was only third best on merit when battling on for modest second of six at Market Rasen (2m1f, good; first-time cheekpiecs) last month but at least that recent run gives him something to build on. |
