14th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 44y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Six-time Flat winner who scored a fifth win on turf when taking Sandown handicap (1m6f, good) off 2lb lower in July 2024; also a multiple winner over hurdles who was on the premises when taking heavy last-flight fall at Plumpton just over one year ago; interesting to see how he goes in the market ahead of this comeback. |

20th Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 114y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Gained two of his five hurdle wins at this track and was second in Sussex Champion Hurdle here (2m, good) just over a year ago; returned from seven-month break with encouraging third at Bangor (2m3f, good; form working out well) in March and has slipped to a workable mark; can make presence felt. |

3rd 10 (2) |
26th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Bumper/hurdles winner at around 2m; first switched to Flat in late July, racing over 1m initially before his staying-on sixth of 14 from the back on Flat handicap debut at York (soft; 33-1) 14 days ago; duly raised his game when stepped up to 2m here yesterday, making most and beating all except the easy winner; big player if he's in the same form today. |

2nd 6 (3) |
25th Oct 2024 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Bumper/hurdles winner at around 2m; has had only five races on the Flat, with 1m looking inadequate on first four occasions and 1m2f the same with his staying-on sixth of 14 from the back on Flat handicap debut at York (soft; 33-1) 13 days ago; dropped 2lb and it's not hard to think that he will be a lot more potent this time with the much longer trip. |

Multiple winner over hurdles and fences; went down narrowly after a break at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good) and he's hard to knock, other than the handicapper knowing all about him. |

Well backed when returning to form with a comfortable win at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft) in May 2021; interesting to see how he goes in the betting on this first start since but it's a hefty absence to defy. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
Has run just four times since 2023; returned from long absence to win at Aintree (2m1f, good to soft) last November but failed to repeat the form in prestigious handicaps at Newbury and Sandown; something to prove. |
50/1 |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Won at Chepstow (2m, heavy) in February 2024 and this 9yo was racing for the first time since when winning at Aintree (2m1f, good to soft) in November 2025; he's a lot better than he showed at Newbury latest (2m, heavy; again failed to settle) but is hard to fancy on the back of that heavy defeat. |
50/1 |

8th 9 |
7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Missed last term but showed further progress to score readily at Aintree (2m1f, good to soft) in sole outing this season, albeit the form may not be reliable as several hurdles were omitted; on a stiffer mark and goes up sharply in class. |

5th Mar 2023 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |

Well treated on best chase form; out of sorts for new yard this season until hinting at a revival back over hurdles last time; however, needs to build on that effort. |

11th Feb 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Four-time chase winner who is very well treated on form as recent as last April; however, he's struggled on his four starts since and a major turnaround is needed with cheekpieces now added. |

9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Landed his fourth success over hurdles at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) in December but yet to get off the mark in this sphere after seven attempts; beaten 30l when third of four finishers at Plumpton (2m1f, soft) four weeks ago; has had wind surgery since and needs to step up. |

9th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 219y Class 4 |

Beaten 10l off this mark in an Ascot handicap hurdle last time after his win in a first-time tongue-tie at Wincanton (good to soft; won on heavy); returns to fences in pretty good form and he's finished runner-up three times in this discipline; thereabouts. |

Not at his best on the Flat and over hurdles this year but didn't run badly when fourth of eight at Chelmsford (1m6f, AW) last month and, having raced freely, he could benefit from this drop back in distance; on a competitive mark and not ruled out. |

11st 10lb |
Looks well handicapped on some of his form and he ran his best race for this yard when second in a 2m handicap hurdle at Sandown (soft) last month; his only win came on good ground and there are winning chasers in the family; could be the answer. |

2nd 8 |
7th Mar 2023 Good 1m 7f 216y Class 4 |

Well handicapped on some of his form for the Skeltons but he's finished tailed off in all three runs for this yard, despite travelling strongly to a point last time at Doncaster; could come good again but reservations for now. |

Dual juvenile winner during summer 2021 (2m1f/2m, good to soft/good) and fair second of four in Sandown handicap (2m, soft) last March when last seen; lightly raced 5yo who retains potential and the betting may be informative. |
