23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Course winner whose mark continues to fall and he's not been devoid of spark this season; however, this 11yo is without a win since April 2023 and was disappointing at Ludlow last month. |
8/1 |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Second of 12 over 2m5f at Kempton just over a year ago but he hasn't posed a serious threat since, including at about 2m on his last four starts; wasn't disgraced in a valuable event at Windsor (strong handicap form) last time, however, and he's undoubtedly well handicapped these days. |

24th Apr 2023 Good 2m 5f 0y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Campaigned at about 2m in Britain, winning at Warwick (good) last May; no progress in two runs since but may be ready for a crack at this longer distance; French win came over 2m3f; not dismissed. |
6/1 |

4th Mar 2023 Good 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Looked good from the front in small field at Warwick (2m, good; 5lb higher today) last May in his second handicap; ran as though the race would bring him on when fair fifth at Ascot in November; off another 106 days but lightly raced and could be capable of better. |

9th Feb 2023 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 2 |

Remains lightly raced; looked good at Warwick in May (2m, good) and ran as though the race would bring him on when fifth on his Ascot return; that was in mid-November and off since, but hard to rule out. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
12st 1lb |
Grand servant to the yard with five wins in this sphere, the latest at Ascot (2m5f, soft) in December off 2lb lower; well held since and it's hard to see him being able to give weight away to these younger rivals. |
10/1 |

5th 4 |
29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 146y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Veteran who is usually ridden these days by Elliott England, including for a 2m5f Ludlow win last February and a C&D win (4lb higher today) in December; 33-1 when tailed off at Kempton five weeks ago but no shock if he surges back to form today in search of his third C&D win. |
12/1 |

7th 4 |
21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Veteran who goes well for Elliott England, gaining his second success for this rider in conditionals' event at Ascot (2m5f, soft) in December; no obvious reason why he won't be thereabouts again but he'll need more off 5lb higher. |

Beaten favourite in this race last year, finishing third; however, nicely weighted off 3lb lower this time round and is in decent form having been placed at Newbury the last twice; in the mix. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won twice for the Skeltons; showed his best form for his current yard when fifth of eight at Warwick (2m, good) 26 days ago; his mark continues to drop and he should find another opening at some point. |

22nd Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 141y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
2-5 at Ascot; mostly disappointing in his nine runs this year, including twice at this track, and his best run in that period came when runner-up over 3m2f in May; wore cheekpieces on last four starts; 12lb higher this time last year but a revival is needed. |

12th Oct 2023 Soft 2m 5f 150y |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Justified favouritism at Wincanton (2m4f, good) last time, recording a first win over hurdles since 2023; fairly consistent and looks worth a crack at this new trip so may remain competitive; whether he can follow up is a different matter. |
10/1 |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Not quite in peak form this season but has still made the frame in some good-quality contests, most recently when close fourth of 15 at Ascot (2m3f, good to soft) last month; in calmer waters here and will be suited by the faster ground; leading claims. |
7/2 |
|
4th 15 |
14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 63y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Largely consistent record at Ascot includes a sixth-place finish in this contest last year and placed effort in latest start; on a 13-race losing sequence but should give his running. |
11/1 |
