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. |

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. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Showed the odd snippet of very useful form in 2024, winning easily at Wetherby (2m3f, good) that November on his second chase start; however, his subsequent exploits put him well down the pecking order in this line-up. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Useful handicapper over hurdles and fences as recently as 2024; finished well held on final two starts for Ben Pauling, albeit in strong handicap chases, and heavy defeat on stable/point debut last month following a break leaves him with something to prove; still, he'd be the one to beat on these terms if anywhere near his best. |
2/1 |

11th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Pulled up at Newbury in December and tailed off at last month's Cheltenham Festival, following wind surgery; however, he looked good when winning easily at Wetherby (2m3f, good) in November on his second chase start, and he's a contender if tapping back into that promise now back down in grade. |

14th Dec 2023 Heavy 2m 6f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Winning pointer who is one to watch in the betting, but he's been soundly beaten on his first two hurdle starts, the latest last month following a year off, and he needs to raise his game. |

Well held when third of five on handicap debut in May (2m3f) and pulled up when fitted with cheekpieces last month (3m2f); drops back in trip with blinkers tried here; not written off just yet but others have much less to prove. |

27th Mar 2025 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Only win came on good ground off 2lb higher here last May (3m1f); has run well since then but form has taken a turn for the worse this year and should have run better only 19 days ago at Hereford when back on good ground. |

8th Mar 2025 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Only win came on good ground off this mark at Warwick last May (3m1f); was knocking on the door in the autumn (on good and good to soft) and a softer surface has perhaps found him out the last twice; better expected. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Caused 40-1 shock over C&D (good) in early part of last season and posted a couple of good efforts here in June but was pulled up at Market Rasen last month and is not easy to predict. |

19th Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Ran well behind Rocks Up Late three starts back and again back at Worcester when well out of the weights; a poor run behind Greenways since was a reminder of his inconsistency. |
