17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
C&D (good to soft) and 3m chase winner (good) who is back on that last winning chase mark; has been better in this discipline and is on a handy mark but was unable to take advantage over C&D latest. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |

Won over C&D in 2023 and was also successful over fences last spring but has not been firing on all cylinders this season and is inconsistent nowadays too. |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 5f 82y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Record of 1-10 over hurdles and has the same strike-rate over fences; his last success was in a chase handicap at Warwick (3m, good) last April but he's not matched that form since and was tailed off at Exeter last time; comes with risks attached after a break and his last hurdle run was 12 months ago. |

Four-time course winner (twice over C&D) who will be suited by today's ground; on a good mark now but was safely held when fourth here last month and needs to up his game. |

10st 10lb |
Last win was off 18lb higher in March 2023; returns to a more suitable trip than the 3m last time but ran just the one race of any real note last year and he's an 11yo now. |

Mark has never been more accommodating in seven seasons with these connections, and although winless beyond 2m6f under rules does stay further; diminishing returns since May's Newton Abbot second, however. |

20th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Won off an 11lb higher mark at Stratford in June of 2022 but very little to shout about since then and was 66-1 when tailed off here a month ago (2m2f); returning to further is no bad thing but he's lost his way. |

The blinkers worked well initially (second then first) but last year ended prematurely after two modest efforts; has been quiet since returning, in no headgear over hurdles and fences. |

Has the odd bit of placed form, including 13 days ago over C&D when first-time blinkers replaced cheekpieces; however, he's a longstanding maiden and 6lb out of the handicap. |
