7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 42y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Showed himself better than ever when digging deep to win at Carlisle (3m, good to soft) last month; also successful over 3m2f there in November; yard won this race in 2023 and is having a stellar season with its chasers; has to be respected. |

11st 8lb |
Took chase record to 3-6 when winning here (3m2f, good to soft) in November on reappearance; has also won on soft; lost a shoe and bled from the nose when sixth of 16 at Cheltenham next time; no obvious excuses when tailed off at Market Rasen last time but shouldn't be written off now back here. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 3m 2f 19y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Restricted to seven races during the last two years; has won three of those (2m4f-3m), two when sporting new headgear (cheekpieces then blinkers); on a fair mark with the cheekpieces back on and could well have a part to play. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Five-time hurdle winner, including over 2m5f here in October when ridden by Isabelle Ryder, form which gives him a solid chance; beaten 35l at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) in November and needs to bounce back but he's won off a similar break in the past. |

Knows how to win and was close up in a Class 3 handicap last time at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) which was bordering on his best form; every chance. |

C&D winner in May (2m4f, good) when back from a winter break; lesser efforts the last twice and looks the stable second string. |

Better of two hurdling efforts when third at Fontwell this month (2m1f, soft); entitled to improve further but will need to if she's to win this. |

Only a modest fourth in maiden event at Fontwell two weeks ago but should improve a couple of places this time; he's second-best in this field judged on bumper/hurdles form. |

Dug deep to win low-grade Fontwell handicap (3m2f, good) for Anthony Honeyball last spring but has struggled in both points for new stable this year and faces another tough task here. |

Three-time chase winner, most recently when holding on well at Fontwell (3m2f, good) in May; bumped into a massive improver when well-held second at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good; first-time binkers) this month; ought to be on the premises again here. |

20th May 2023 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Fairly useful at up to 1m4f on the Flat but he's not achieved much in his three hurdle runs this year and has pulled hard in last two starts; now goes handicapping off a lowly mark but he needs to settle better if he's to have a future as a jumper. |

Flat ability needs respecting but has tailed off and pulled up in his two runs over hurdles; pulled very hard in the first-time hood latterly and the tongue-tie fitted then is now left off; really needs to settle better if he's to have a future as a jumper. |

raced freely, prominent, pulled way into lead just after 1st, not fluent 3rd, much reduced lead 3 out, headed before 2 out, soon pushed along and weakened quickly, pulled up approaching last |
