15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 125y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
C&D winner in December 2024 (heavy; won on good) and made it 2-2 here when beating three rivals over 3m4f (good to soft) on reappearance; the glaring concern is his nothing run at Exeter last time when in trouble a long way out. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Seen only once this season, winning four-runner Haydock chase (3m4f, good to soft) from the front on stable debut in December, but was nudged up only 2lb for that and should be fine on the quicker surface here; respected. |

15th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Won well over Haydock's extended 3m1f on heavy two runs back; has failed to complete in his two previous marathon chases and was on the retreat, though still in third, when crashing out at the final fence of the Eider (good to soft); can run well again but others might be better equipped to see this out stronger; new cheekpieces the headgear of choice today (effective in visor/blinkers). |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Below form in Kim Muir at Cheltenham in March but showed career-best form when winning at Newbury (3m2f, good) just after Christmas and will be a danger to all here if back at that level in first-time cheekpieces. |
8/1 |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
9yo who has a good strike-rate over fences and produced a career-best performance to win at Newbury (3m2f, good) in December when last seen; has also won on soft ground; had just five rivals to beat on that latest start but he was impressive and is not ruled out now 6lb higher. |

22nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Dual chase winner but his good runs back from an absence were over hurdles and he returned to fences last time when not so clever; considered off what remains a competitive mark. |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Dual chase winner who returned from long absence with a game hurdle success in July and has since run well again in that sphere; reverts to fences on career-high mark but evidently in good heart. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Easily defied a 7lb rise for his Exeter win when strolling clear at Ascot (2m5f, good), albeit in a race that completely fell apart in behind; unlikely that this will be so straightforward off 8lb higher but arrives with his tail up. |
13/8 |

1st 3 |
29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 13y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Consistent 10yo; he beat only two other finishers at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft; fine on good) and his pursuers appeared to underperform; however, the 7lb rise shouldn't be too damaging given he's performed well off similar figures in the past; solid contender. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 48y Class 4 |

Ran respectably at Taunton last time and remains a consistent sort; scored off 1lb higher, beating Bonza Boy, on most recent attempt at Exeter (13 months ago); solid chance. |

29th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 78y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Point/hurdle winner who built upon his chase debut fifth when third of six at Newbury (2m, good to soft) four weeks ago in a race that is working out well; in top hands and could take another step forward today, provided conditions suit (unraced on soft/heavy). |

1st Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 92y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Point/hurdle winner; weakened into well-held fifth at Kempton (2m4f, good) on chase/seasonal debut but may do better with that outing under his belt and dropped back in trip (worth another go at 2m). |

Versatile sort who won over 2m4f here on reappearance and has performed respectably over marathon trips since; stiff task from 4lb out of handicap last time; not ruled out back off proper mark. |

26th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Five-time winner over hurdles who had looked to be in the grip of the handicapper since winning at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) in July; however, having come back down in the weights, he stayed on well to regain the winning thread at Hereford (3m1f, good) this month; going back up 4lb is a slight concern, but this looks an inviting opportunity if he repeats that effort. |
9/4 |

1st 3 |
5th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Four-time winner over hurdles who had looked to be in the grip of the handicapper since wining at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) in July; however, he's now back on that winning mark and his latest fourth of four at Taunton (3m, good) in a Class 3 was encouraging; respected. |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 3 |

Has four wins over hurdles but is 2lb above his last winning mark; returns from a break and probably needs to come down a few pounds. |

16th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Ran quite well when fourth behind Masked Dance in this race a year ago and is 10lb lower now but has become far too inconsistent to rely upon; pulled up over C&D on latest hurdling start (Boxing Day) and safely held in a chase a few weeks later; needs 112-day break to have done her good. |

10st 2lb |
Won here over 2m1f (good) and an extended 2m3f (good to firm) last summer; subsequently lost his form in three runs; hard to gauge how he will run after a layoff but he would come into this if back on song. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |

Won at Stratford over 2m1f (good) in June and an extended 2m3f (good to firm) in July; ran better than the margin suggests at Worcester in August; suffered a seriously heavy defeat back at Stratford last time, however, while soft ground would raise a further concern. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |

Has emerged from a spell in the wilderness this season and is on a hat-trick after two wins at Stratford (2m1f/2m3f); up another 5lb since last time but must be considered in current form. |

25th Apr 2024 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Became disappointing over hurdles towards end of last season and has been pulled up in all three chases this term (2m3f-2m4f); moves back up in trip with huge amount to prove. |
