10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Has perhaps needed his two runs since a lengthy layoff, sixth to Fiercely Proud at Ascot latest; may be ready to hit top form and accordingly looks interesting off current mark when considering his back class (Grade 1 novice winner over 2m4f in December 2023). |
20/1 |

6th 3 |
14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 63y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Seemed to need latest run when back from a lengthy layoff; interesting off current mark assuming he's still capable of peak form, which includes a success in the 2023 Challow on soft ground. |

18th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Absent since finishing lame at Newbury in November 2024, truncating a novice chase campaign; smart previously and has Grade 1 form, including a success in the Challow (2m4f, soft) as a novice hurdler; 2-4 in this sphere; on a workable mark provided he retains ability. |

11st 3lb |
Two wins last season, the latter when holding on gamely in 16-runner handicap on New course here (2m1f, good) in April; needs another career-best performance today but still enters calculations. |

Ascot winner in December off 7lb lower (1m7f, good to soft); this represents a welcome drop in grade after contesting two high-profile handicaps and he's not out of it. |

8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 135y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Four chase wins, the latest from the front off reduced mark at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) in February; just a respectable third of five at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) last month but could be hard to catch if able to dominate here. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Showed the benefit of a wind op when making all to exploit reduced mark at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) last month; went back up 8lb for that but this right-handed track should also suit; likely contender. |

Left behind by two very useful rivals but still made promising debut at Kempton (good) in March 2021, and returned from long absence with another encouraging bumper run last month; should have a future over jumps. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Went up 5lb for beating an exposed rival at Southwell (2m4f, soft; fine on good to soft) but he still ran well in a Class 3 at Newbury (2m6f) that didn't go entirely like clockwork; he could yet raise his bar higher; much respected. |
3/1 |

3rd 4 |
20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 93y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
An improving chaser who did well to overcome a late mistake and get up at Southwell (2m4f, soft; fine on good to soft); he is 5lb higher for beating an exposed rival that day and this represents a harder assignment; still commands considerable respect. |
11/4 |

18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Fontwell maiden hurdle winner in May 2024 who's been competitive since handicapping over fences this term, bang there when coming down two out at Haydock (2m4f) in December before finishing runner-up in staying chases at Huntingdon and Warwick (all good to soft); drop back in trip probably no bother and he's a firm contender once more. |

Out of a useful bumper/hurdle winner for his owner but he's been beaten 31l or more in two bumpers this winter; this step up in trip should help but he needs a transformation on his hurdling debut. |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Both wins over hurdles came at Fontwell; having just her second go over fences when solid sixth in well-contested mares' handicap at Cheltenham (about 2m4f, good to soft) in December; disappointed at Huntingdon over further next time but had wind surgery shortly afterwards and might be worth another chance dropped back in trip. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 4 |

Almost denied Easy To Follow in a heavy-ground hurdle once, but best figures win or lose have been returned on no worse than the good to soft of last month's tidy 5l sixth in a Cheltenham mares' 0-125; still early days for her as a chaser, appears to jump fine and holds strong claims. |

Hasn't lived up to market expectations since switched to handicap hurdles; not bred for fences but he must be thought capable of better and this isn't strong; cheekpieces tried after one run in blinkers. |

Yet to play a serious part in four handicaps, despite being a short price for the latest two; interesting to see if his supporters keep the faith now blinkers are added; 8lb wrong. |
