Tended to hang when failing favourite backers off this mark here (2m5f) last month but that was another solid enough run; should be heavily involved. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Resurgent 8yo who kept on well to score at Huntingdon (2m3f, soft) three weeks ago; recent 3lb rise does not look excessive and he could plausibly have untapped potential over this longer trip; major player. |

Has proved resurgent with a pair of second-place finishes and the latest effort, over C&D, is a solid piece of form; back up 5lb but has won off this mark; respected. |

Won at Wincanton (1m7f, good) last October and is now just 1lb higher; however, this 10yo hasn't been at the top of her game on either outing this spring and was no match for Therapist at Stratford last time. |

8th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Has very good 7-31 strike-rate over hurdles but a couple of those wins were collected in small-field races in Jersey; didn't run badly when last of five at Exeter last month, after a layoff, and could be favoured if the ground ends up quicker than good here, but her two younger rivals appeal more. |

In fine form since returning from 14 months off in July, winning twice over hurdles and twice over fences including over C&D (good) in August; seemed to be beaten fair and square when second of three off this mark back here last time, but still a player in this field. |

4-5 since returning from long layoff this summer; kept on too strongly for Centara when back over fences here (good) last month and won another four-runner chase at Worcester (2m, good to soft) a fortnight ago; ought to make his presence felt again. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Bang there in 2m3f/2m6f handicaps (good) in March and feasible excuses since then, as he was pressured up front two runs back and perhaps failed to stay 3m last time; now 0-23 under rules but one to bear in mind. |
8/1 |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |

Now 0-20 over hurdles but was bang there in 2m3f/2m6f handicaps (good) in March and when beaten nearly 20l the last time he got pressured up front; unlikely to be far away. |

3rd 6 |
16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |

0-19 over hurdles, which could be the bottom line, but he's been placed on four of his six starts this season, on last two occasions finishing runner-up on good ground over C&D and Stratford's 2m6f; wore cheekpieces on last three starts; looks set to be seriously involved again. |

Scored comfortably in another novice handicap over C&D (good) last May after a layoff and he was placed on next three outings; something amiss in a run last August and below form in first-time cheekpieces in October on his only start since, but the earlier good efforts can't be forgotten. |

8st 9lb |
Held up; an excellent 2024 included wins in the Chester Plate on this card (his only run here) and the Cesarewitch at Newmarket; 2025 campaign was initially promising then frustrating, including with trouble in running, but ended up being disappointing; has a recent 1m2f run under his belt and would be competitive off this slightly reduced mark if back on song. |

Three big-race wins in Britain last year included the Chester Plate (2m2f, good to firm) and this race (soft; 6lb higher today); while nothing like that impact this term, trying to come from the back at Royal Ascot was a nightmare and it wasn't much better at York's Ebor meeting, beaten 3l in both; they suggested he could still have another big handicap win in him. |

Not beaten far when eighth of ten over hurdles at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) last month, after a break, but has not made any significant progress since winning hurdle debut in autumn 2022 and will need to up his game on today's chasing debut; pulled up the only previous time he wore cheekpieces. |

Seems to reserve his best for Uttoxeter and he gained his fourth course success over this trip in May (good ground; handles heavy); however, he was disappointing here just before Christmas and needs a revival. |
