24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 2 |
11st 13lb |
Absent since pulled up at Aintree festival in April but was commendable fifth of 24 in Pertemps Final at Cheltenham (3m, good) two starts ago and has good record when fresh; features prominently in calculations. |
8/1 |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Another in this field who took in the Pertemps at Cheltenham, finishing a good fifth of 24 to Supremely West; should be competitive again but nothing in his record suggests he has enough in hand to win a race as hot as this. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Runner-up to Upfordebate in this last year and he returns on the back of some good efforts at Cartmel; high in the weights but likely to be in the thick of it. |
15/2 |

4th 6 |
31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Showed career-best form when winning quite comfortably over C&D (good) last month, his fifth success here; moves up in grade today but recent 4lb rise could have been worse, and he won't mind what the weather does. |

7th Apr 2024 Heavy 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Front-runner who won two handicap chases in a row last summer (2m1f, soft/good) before easy novice hurdle win at Bangor (2m3f, good); however, he hasn't been at his best on his three runs since and has to bounce back. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Is 0-29 over hurdles and he ran poorly in a refitted tongue tie when ninth of 11 in 2m Wetherby handicap hurdle 15 days ago; it's easy to look elsewhere. |
33/1 |
|
9th 7 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Runner-up twice in a row at Perth (2m4f, good) in September but struggled on final two starts for Olly Murphy and it was the same story on his stable debut in November; returns from a break with something to prove. |
25/1 |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
0-25 over hurdles but has posted some good efforts for new stable since the summer, most recently when second at Perth (2m4f, good) last month; also suited by slower ground; probably won't be far away. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-17 as hurdler but plenty of minor honours, including C&D; needs to improve upon last month's fourth at Hexham but that was his first run for 400 days, so he may well build on that; case can be made off career-low mark. |
12/1 |
|
4th 11 |
19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Has produced a couple of fair efforts in defeat, including a 10l third over C&D in this headgear combination in December 2024, but subsequent runs were disappointing; returns from a lengthy absence with major questions to answer. |
33/1 |

25th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Ten-race maiden over hurdles; plenty to make up with a few of these on his below-par tenth at Ayr last time (2m, good to soft, tongue-tie on for first time); tongue-tie left off here but blinkers now tried. |
