7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 42y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Had fallen in the weights prior to winning at Ludlow (3m, soft) 17 days ago, perked up by first-time cheekpieces; nudged back up 3lb but remains on a workable mark; high on the list. |

18th Feb 2026 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Below best on his four outings in 2025 and unseated at the first fence at Taunton recently; also needs to prove his stamina; however, this 7yo has plenty of time to get his career back on track and is on a handy mark on his 2024 exploits; perhaps the new cheekpieces will give him a boost. |

3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 3y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Back on a good mark now but ended last season on a low note and has not really fired on either appearance this term (favourite both times); comes here with a bit to prove, including stamina. |

29th Jan 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 30y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Lightly raced gelding who did well in handicap chases last season for Dan Skelton before losing his way; beaten in two points for current yard and he'll need more here; has won on heavy. |

16th Apr 2025 Good 3m 4f 21y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Scored by 8l on seasonal/chase debut at Carlisle (3m2f, good to soft) in October and was placed over 3m on next two outings; finished very weakly when upped to 3m5f at Warwick last month, which is a concern, but could plausibly still have untapped potential over marathon trips. |

Third on hurdling debut in November 2023 but three poor runs since; pulled up on handicap debut at Exeter (2m5f, soft) 27 days ago; easy to look elsewhere. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Course bumper and hurdle winner who won Plumpton handicap hurdle off 18lb higher last April; subsequent starts over fences didn't go well and he resumes chase career having been well held over hurdles on last three starts. |
8/1 |

4th 3 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
He's had a disappointing season, initially over fences and more recently over hurdles, and has something to prove; however, he's now 10lb lower than when winning over C&D (good) last April and can't be written off; monitor the betting. |
7/1 |

9th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |

Chasing did not go well this season (three runs) but he ran well until tiring on heavy ground over hurdles at Fontwell (2m5f, heavy) recently and is now 6lb lower than for an emphatic C&D win on good ground last April. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 16y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Disappointed when made favourite at Taunton (2m3f, heavy) last month, after a layoff, but is now 6lb lower than when placed in first-time cheekpieces at Stratford (2m2f, good to soft) just over a year ago, and can rebound on the less testing ground here. |

3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
0-7 over hurdles; absent since placed in first-time cheekpieces at Stratford (2m2f, good to soft) last March and not sure to be suited by the slower ground here but it's interesting that Sean Bowen is booked again. |

28th Nov 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 110y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
From a major yard but he struggled over hurdles including when pulled up on handicap debut at Ffos Las (2m4f, good to soft) 18 days ago; still lightly raced but he needs a transformation on this switch to fences. |

Solid second (form has substance) in Irish point; soundly beaten over hurdles for new stable but looks a likely improver now handicapping and switched to chasing; interesting off a mark of just 90. |

No impact in bumpers or three maiden/novice hurdles at up to 2m4f; may do better now handicapping in first-time cheekpieces, but 4lb wrong. |

28th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 3f 49y Class 4 |

Has struggled to get competitive in two bumpers and two maiden hurdles (2m3f/2m4f); makes no appeal. |
