22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
All chase wins around 2m4f, including win at this meeting last year; Newbury specialist who landed fourth win at that track when bagging valuable handicap for second time on penultimate start; never won off a mark this high and drop back down to 2m also asks a question but he's impossible to rule out. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Back to something like his best last time, registering a second success in the Greatwood Gold Cup and taking C&D record to 4-6; won this contest in 2023 and 2024; back up the weights but commands respect kept to a scenario that suits him ideally. |

11st 0lb |
Record of 3-5 at Newbury features a success in this contest two years ago; proved no match for Twinjets in most recent course start and was a faller in last two handicap attempts (out of depth in Grade 1 since); however, holds a major chance off current mark provided he's in top form. |

Easy winner at Ffos Las on chasing debut in October (2m3f+) but didn't back that up when fourth at Exeter last month (3m; has won at that trip); return to the winning effort certainly puts him in the picture. |

Unexposed 5yo has raced only five times; finished third here (2m3f, good to soft) on chase/seasonal debut most recently, shaping as if this longer trip will suit; open to improvement and looks interesting. |

6th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Something to prove regarding current form as he's failed to shine over fences this winter, but he's 1-14 in chases as opposed to 3-10 over hurdles, and perhaps the return to this discipline will trigger a revival. |

27th Jan 2025 Soft 3m 1f 152y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Capable stayer but has struggled with consistency; finished a 10l fourth at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) on Boxing Day, a race in which Vision De Maine was pulled up, but that was a laboured effort; handles most ground and has the ability to get involved but comes with risk. |

10st 11lb |
Gained all three wins on heavy ground at Ffos Las (2m-2m6f); safely held in cheekpieces and then a visor on her last two hurdling starts (2m4f/2m); tries a new trip and sports first-time blinkers on this return to chasing; too well handicapped to rule out but needs to turn a corner. |

9yo who has been lightly raced in recent years; returned from an absence with 11l second at Plumpton (2m4f, good) in November under Vicki Sollitt, then easily won three-runner military riders' race at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft); won on soft ground earlier in his career; high on the list. |

6th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Course winner; a lot of his form is over shorter but he proved his stamina for 3m when runner-up at Ffos Las two weeks ago (good); unlikely to be far away off the same mark. |
5/1 |

2nd 10 |
21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Produced a remarkable late surge to snatch what had looked an unlikely victory at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft; blinkers removed) last month but this inconsistent 9yo tends to race lazily nowadays and got going too late when back at Fontwell a fortnight ago; other are much less risky. |
