23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Scored twice over fences (around 3m) in March 2024; back from two years off in good nick, runner-up over 3m2f at Chepstow last month; can race off the same mark here so he's a player with Harry Cobden taking over. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 54y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Not an unlucky loser, but may have run Broomfields Cave closer at Wincanton latest without pecking two out (3m1f, good); respected now back on track, though notably remains winless around a galloping track. |

3rd 1 |
1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Completed a double over fences at Taunton (2m7f, soft) in March 2024 but he's returned from 690 days off with two underwhelming runs (hurdles/chase) this spring; looks well handicapped on his old form but he needs to raise his game on this drop back in trip. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Reportedly appreciated the heavy ground when rallying to lead close home at Huntingdon (2m7f) last month; will be suited by the longer trip here but the ground will be much quicker this time and he's very unreliable now. |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 4f 178y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Returned to form with narrow win in this race a year ago (heavy) and is now 1lb below that mark but well beaten all four starts since (three this season) and needs to bounce back again; headgear (worn for last two races) removed. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
No longer the force of old but returned from 342-day absence with a pretty good third at Taunton (3m, good to soft) last month behind two next-time-out winners and competes off the same mark here; respected. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
No win under rules since 2019 (he took a point in 2020) but he's well down the weights and competitive often enough, including at Newbury last March on latest start, to be considered each-way even though he may have a bit more to prove at his age first time out. |
6/1 |

3rd 2 |
21st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 52y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Still in touch when unseating four out at Ascot last time (2m7f, good; 50-1) but it was still a long way from home; hasn't won under rules since 2019 and much-reduced mark looks justified. |

7th Apr 2024 Heavy 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
A teenager now and no longer the force of old but was placed three consecutive times before clinging on to win by a short head at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) in February; pulled nicely clear of the others with a next-time-out winner there, so a 4lb rise is arguably lenient. |

prominent, ridden after 3 out, went second but drifted left run-in, pressed winner towards finish, stayed on |

10th May 2023 Good 3m 1f 166y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Six-time hurdle winner at up to 3m1f; well below par on his last two starts but showed at both Ludlow in January and Newbury in February that he retains ability; handy mark and down in grade; not written off. |
5/1 |

8th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Close third in this 12 months ago off a 3lb higher mark so dangerous to entirely dismiss; that said, he was in much better form coming into last year's race. |

12th Mar 2023 Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Bumper winner (2m, soft) who was runner-up on his first two hurdle starts before winning at Hereford (2m3f, soft) in December; faded when third over 2m7f at Chepstow latest and needs to prove his stamina, but this handicap newcomer has potential for his top yard; respected in first-time tongue-tie. |

3rd Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Doncaster bumper winner; runner-up on first two starts over hurdles, including on good ground, and went one better in maiden at Hereford (2m3f, soft) in a very tight, three-way finish; sets the standard on hurdles form and he's entered in the 3m Grade 1 novice at Cheltenham Festival. |

Lurks on a very dangerous mark even before Daire McConville's useful 8lb claim is considered but has been out of form this year and needs to turn a corner; visor replaced by cheekpieces; tongue-tie removed. |
