16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Well treated on his old form but his last win was in December 2024 and he's finished down the field in his three completed starts this year; cheekpieces now return but he needs to raise his game. |

Returned from break with two below-par runs towards the end of last season and suffered mid-race mishap on latest outing this month but he has slipped to a good mark and can't be ruled out. |

Last win came in December 2024 off 6lb higher; hasn't been firing on all cylinders recently but is down to a career-low mark and cannot dismiss. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Strong traveller who made it 2-4 over fences with a 3m success here last month but he finished weakly when second at Worcester (2m7f); this drop in trip won't hurt; 8lb higher than for that last win but the ability is there. |
2/1 |

2nd 3 |
16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
No win in five starts over hurdles but he made it 2-4 over fences when beating eight rivals at Market Rasen (3m, good) 11 days ago; has a penalty but that was a cosy success and he's open to more progress at staying trips; respected. |
11/4 |

5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Ran out a 5l winner on his chase debut at Bangor in April (3m, good) and next time couldn't lay a glove on an all-the-way winner; another good run when 4l behind at Southwell having travelled best throughout; should run well. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Maiden hurdler but he's been a big improver since switched to fences, winning over 3m at Warwick in June before following up over 2m4f at Worcester (both on good); disappointing when favourite in his hat-trick bid at Worcester last month but he's still unexposed over fences and remains feasibly treated on his penultimate form; big player if he can bounce back. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Maiden hurdler but he's been a big improver since switched to fences, winning over 3m at Warwick last month before following up over about 2m4f here (both on good) two weeks ago; up another 7lb but he won going away last time and is a major player again in his bid to make it 3-4 as a chaser. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Maiden hurdler who is already doing better over fences, having stayed on well to win at Warwick (3m, good) in June on his second chase start; had run well over a similar trip to today's the time before and, although back up 5lb, he should have more to come. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Got off the mark when winning a Huntingdon handicap (2m4f, soft) in February and he's finished runner-up in four over his five starts since; his latest second was behind Knightsbridge at Warwick but he has big swing in the weights with that rival and should be in the thick of things again. |

2nd 4 |
3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Has continued to run well since his Huntingdon win in Februaray (2m4f, soft), last time giving everything in a narrow defeat over C&D; 2lb higher with Tom Hutsby again aboard; should have every chance. |

2nd 5 |
9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Off the mark when well clear at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) in February but paid the handicapping price after; it's been harder since but he was unfortunate to run up against one who relished the new 3m3f test at Stratford (good) in April, although he still ran well; major player in first 3m run. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Five-time chase winner, most recently at Windsor (3m, good to soft) in the autumn; back on a good mark now but he's not easy to predict and has been pulled up on two of his last three outings (bled from the nose last time); others preferred. |
16/1 |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Two more chase wins in 2025, the latest at Windsor (3m, good to soft; suited by good) in November; often battled with unsuitable ground over the winter but 4lb lower than at Windsor so has a weights chance. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Admirable veteran who nearly recorded his ninth hurdle win when a close second here (2m7f, good) in May; 0-8 over fences but he's 12lb lower back in this sphere and he does have some placed form in chase handicaps; dangerous with blinkers reapplied. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Grand veteran with eight wins over hurdles, including two over C&D last summer; down to his last winning mark and should be sharper for his fifth at Hereford last month following a five-month layoff, but you have to think that one of his younger rivals should have his measure. |
12/1 |

16th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Registered a four-timer last April-June (3m1f/2m7f, good/good to soft); very in and out since and he's now a 13yo but he finished on the heels of the principals off today's mark at Warwick in November when last seen; more to prove after the break. |

10st 2lb |
Just one win from 25 starts over hurdles and she's generally struggled in that sphere in last seven starts; pulled up in only previous chase run in February 2025 and has lots to prove back in this sphere; 5lb out of the weights. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |

2m7f hurdle winner (good to soft); on a lengthy losing run and arrives with plenty to prove from 4lb wrong. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |

Struggled last year and competes from 6lb out of the handicap today; needs January's wind op to have made a big difference. |
