12th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Strike-rate of 4-9 over hurdles and was third when favourite for last season's 3m Pertemps Final at the Cheltenham Festival; stays 3m but he made a winning return here last season in a 2m3f handicap hurdle, so he's not slow; very much built for chasing. |

13th Apr 2024 Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Consistent 6yo who was better than ever when winning at Haydock (3m, heavy) in February and ran another cracker when third to Monmiral in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham (3m, soft; favourite; rallied) the following month; may still have more to offer and is high on the list once more. |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Mudlover who has won four times over fences and he's run creditably at Warwick (3m, good to soft) and over C&D (soft) in last two starts; finished behind Lumi Plugin last time but he should give it another good shot and any rain would be a bonus. |

3rd 3 |
26th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Mudlover who was out of sorts in just three runs last winter but ran well for a long way in a better race than this at Bangor (3m, soft) in April and kept on gamely when third at Warwick (3m, good to soft) last month; this more testing ground will suit better; solid claims. |

1st Feb 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 110y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Game winner on stable debut at Warwick (2m3f novice, good to soft); after a slight blip at Ascot (unsuitable ground), fared much more encouragingly at Ffos Las (fourth) latest; stays well (is a 3m point winner) so must enter the thought process under optimum conditions. |

22nd Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Ex-Irish; the form of his Warwick win (2m3f, good to soft) makes for good reading and the chances are that he failed to give his true running at Ascot; could easily bounce back from that. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 30y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Last season was one to remember, winning the Welsh National and later second in the Grand National Trial at Haydock; 0-4 this campaign but it's been anything but a washout and he should be dangerous off this mark, for all that he's made his name over further. |
4/1 |

4th 4 |
21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 4m 1f 56y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Won last season's Welsh National (extended 3m6f, soft) off 3lb lower and second in the Grand National Trial at Haydock; near that form on second start this term, before a lesser show (weak in the market) in the Surrey National at Lingfield; needs to be back at his peak and there are mixed messages. |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 4f 178y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Bettered underwhelming seasonal debut when placed over the big Aintree fences (3m2f, soft) last month and remains only 4lb higher than when winning last season's Welsh National (3m6f, soft); high on the list. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 3m 2f 19y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Got on a roll last winter when completing a hat-trick (3m/3m3f) before a respectable, albeit remote, second in the Eider at Newcastle (4m1f, good to soft); this race is a suitable fit but he now has to prove himself worthy of this high a mark. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Has patchy profile but he's well handicapped on his Taunton second (2m3f, good) in December and he may have needed his reappearance run at Hereford this month; this step back up in trip is no problem and he's one to keep an eye on for in-form yard. |
11/2 |

5th 1 |
5th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has become hard to predict, as his 16l fourth at Taunton (2m3f, good) in January would suggest, having failed to back up a decent effort there the previous month; back on his last winning mark and could play a leading role if at his best. |
7/2 |

24th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Won big-field handicap off today's mark here (2m5f, good to soft) in November 2023 and was creditable sixth of 25 at Punchestown festival (2m3f, yielding) in April but his record between those two runs if very mixed and he's not an easy one to predict. |
