14th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Four-time chase winner for Greenall-Guerriero stable; has a patchy record but he's run well in two of his three starts for current yard, including a clear second at Market Rasen (3m, soft) last month; has claims if he can back that up and his last win was off 1lb higher. |

16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Four-time chase winner (once over C&D) for Greenall-Guerriero stable; made quite pleasing seasonal/stable debut when second of four at Ludlow (3m1f, good) in November but ran very poorly at Hereford last month and needs to bounce back from that. |

Won over C&D (soft) last season and has twice finished second over 3m3f here this term (good to soft; including Lincolnshire National); also suited by good ground and current mark is workable; respected. |

Ended last season with two soft-ground wins at Huntingdon (2m4f) and will be fine on the quicker surface here but has been out of form this term (four starts) and needs to turn things around. |

23rd Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Won off a career-low chase mark at Fontwell (3m2f, good; refitted cheekpieces) in November and slower ground wouldn't have been ideal the last twice; none too reliable these days at the best of times. |

31st Jan 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Very inconsistent this season and his win at Fontwell (good ground; 5lb higher today) on penultimate start was over 3m2f; his soft-ground form was two years ago and he pulled up on his only appearance on heavy. |

Course winner in 2022 and 2023 at up to an extended 2m3f (soft); weighted to strike again at present, but goes 3f further than ever before today without shaping of late as in urgent need of a stayers' trip. |

Veteran whose last win was off 4lb higher in this race back in 2021 (good to soft); fair third at Hereford last April (2m, good to soft) but faces a stiff tack from 4lb out of the handicap on going softer than ideal. |

21st Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Lost his way over fences for Joe Tizzard, and debut effort returned to hurdles for new connections extended his run of non-completions to four; likely hopes rest more on wind surgery than a further 3lb drop. |

29th Aug 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Point winner who went 0-9 under rules for Joe Tizzard (in same ownership) and failed to complete in his last three chases; placed in two novice hurdles earlier in career and on a dangerous mark if new trainer can get him going again. |

Has been running reasonably and didn't seem to stay 2m7f at Worcester latest, having held every chance; tricky customer but ought to be involved, especially off current mark (has won off 9lb higher). |

Looked badly out of sorts for most of last season but seemed to have turned a corner when very respectable fourth here (2m3f, good) last month and, if that run can be built upon, he's still well handicapped. |

Sole win (22 races under rules) came over fences in December 2021; well down the weights now and he was placed twice early this year but pulled up on final start last season (made mistakes in first-time blinkers) and same again on reappearance three weeks ago; bit to prove. |
