7th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Dual C&D winner; not at best since returning from one-year absence in November and was particularly disappointing when pulled up over fences last month; needs a revival but is back hurdling on a tempting mark. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Has won two of five handicaps here, hurdles and fences (C&D; good), but he hasn't yet found his form since back from an absence and now tackles fences for the first time since pulling up twice at the end of 2024; below latest winning mark but questions remain. |

Hard to predict but goes well here and he was far from disgraced when 8l fourth of seven over C&D in December; below his last winning mark; more appealing than most. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 10y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Multiple winner but hasn't achieved a great deal since his 25-1 Plumpton win last September; however, he likes good ground and his mark is dropping. |

13th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Made all to cause 25-1 surprise at Plumpton (3m1f, good) in September, after a break, but generally disappointing since; pulled up when back at Plumpton a week ago, and can't be supported with much confidence here. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
10yo who has finished merely seventh on his last three starts, the latest in January; however, a break may have helped and he was returning from some time off when winning under Jamie Gambin over C&D (good) last September; now 3lb lower than for that win and not discounted. |

Made a successful chasing debut at Southwell (3m2f) for Charles and Adam Pogson but off 14 months before being pulled up there for his new yard 24 days ago; blinkers are quickly reached for. |

17th Dec 2023 Soft 3m 1f 185y Class 5 |

First and third in good-ground handicap hurdles earlier this year before struggling under softer conditions; the ground is therefore a worry and he goes without the cheekpieces that were working well. |

0-14 over hurdles; now 7lb lower than when going close over C&D (soft) last November but has performed well only one of four appearances this season and needs help from the first-time tongue-tie. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Slow-ground specialist who won twice over 2m3f (once here) in February 2025; should be fine over this trip but is yet to strike form this season (three runs; bled last time) and there may not be enough rain for him today. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Slow-ground specialist who won this race in 2025 (soft ground) and followed up at Bangor (2m3f, heavy) 17 days later; returned from layoff with two lesser efforts this season but still considered; usually held up in rear. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |

Veteran campaigner with a C&D win to his name; goes well on soft/heavy ground and won at Chepstow and Bangor this time last year; probably needed run when last of five at Leicester on reappearance; more solid than most. |

21st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |

25th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |

1-23 under rules and pulled up in both starts over fences, including here (3m, good) last month; hard to recommend from 5lb out of the weights. |

14th Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Just 1-22 over hurdles and was pulled up in his only previous chase (in March 2024); will cope better than some of these if the ground deteriorates considerably but, otherwise, he makes very limited appeal. |

29th May 2023 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |

Two C&D wins last spring but has struggled this year; better at Stratford eight days ago and chance may depend of effect of cheekpieces (returning in place of usual tongue-strap); much prefers quick ground. |

21st May 2023 Good 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |

Won twice off lowly marks at Huntingdon (3m1f, good) last spring but this year's form is uninspiring and she's 8lb out of the weights here. |

11th May 2023 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |

Record of 2-7 over C&D includes this race last year (good), accounting for Kentford Mallard and Milanese Rose; 7lb lower mark today is owed to some laboured efforts here and elsewhere since, however. |

27th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 5f 82y Class 5 |

13th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Hasn't won since 2018, is well into the veteran stage and has become unpredictable; one of his better efforts in a first-time visor over C&D in December (likes it here) but has typically failed to reproduce that since. |

0-7 over hurdles; placed off 1lb higher at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) in May but made low-key reappearance in recent C&D event won by Top Cloud; swaps visor for first-time cheekpieces today; riding arrangements suggest Samatian is the stable's main hope. |

5th Mar 2023 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |

Far from solid based on this season's chase form; returns to hurdles off a much lower mark and has scored twice here over fences, so could be dangerous if he's on song; 0-9 in this sphere. |
