25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 99y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Has proved difficult to place since last win in March 2025 and form has taken a downturn of late; has the worst chance at the weights back up in class. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 13lb |
Pulled up in Ascot handicap in November and tailed off on sole outing since in the Champion Chase last month; it's hard to say what sort of form he's in but this C&D brought out the very best in him when runner-up in the Grade 1 Maghull Novices' Chase (good) 12 months ago; could go well back here. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Lacked fluency and ran poorly at Ascot when last seen; ran creditably in C&D handicap the time before but that form is a long way below Champion Chase standard and he's comfortably held by Majborough on Punchestown festival running; has the worst chance on ratings. |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
2-10 over fences, the latter win gained over C&D (good) in March; didn't run badly when third of four at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last month and seems likely to be on the premises again. |
2/1 |

3rd 2 |
14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Consistent 9yo who recorded his second win of the campaign at Stratford (extended 2m6f, good) last time, continuing a productive partnership with Isabelle Ryder; this drop back in trip shouldn't inconvenience and, despite a 3lb higher mark, he looks set to give another good account. |
3/1 |

1st 4 |
28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Consistent sort who posted a solid third of six in 2m2f handicap at Kempton two weeks ago; eased 2lb here, so needs considering in his bid for a second success of the season. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Five-time winning hurdler who took a firm step forward from May's chasing debut with a convincing win at Worcester (2m7f) the following month; far from discredited when fifth of 13 in valuable event over C&D (again good) and he's a big player in these calmer waters. |
5/2 |

5th 11 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Lacked fluency on chase debut but jumped better and beat Grand Clermont kept to Worcester (2m7f, good) last time; unexposed in this sphere and remains favourably treated on best hurdles form, which features a win off 1lb higher; major claims. |
8/1 |
|
1st 7 |
11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Lacked fluency and was ultimately well beaten over C&D (good) on chasing debut a fortnight ago, after a layoff, but significant positives can still be drawn from that performance and he ought to cope better than some of these if the ground softens; can be dangerous if in a better rhythm today. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Seemingly aided by new tongue-tie since the summer, most notably when keeping on well to score at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) 11 days ago; also suited by 2m but recent 5lb rise might leave him vulnerable in this competitive race. |
9/1 |

16th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Posted sound effort when second at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month but has modest strike-rate in recent years and probably won't be favoured by the forecast rain here; others have more pressing claims. |
8/1 |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Hasn't threatened on the Flat on last two starts but this course winner didn't run badly when mid-division in a higher grade than this over hurdles at Market Rasen (2m, good) last month and today's step back up in trip is well worth a go for one who stays 1m6f on the Flat; interesting. |

12st 0lb |
Won twice for the Skeltons; showed his best form for his current yard when fifth of eight at Warwick (2m, good) 26 days ago; his mark continues to drop and he should find another opening at some point. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 4 |

11st 8lb |
Couldn't hold on when attempting to make all at Market Rasen (extended 2m5f, good) in June but that was still a solid effort, only narrowly denied second by Little Ledgend late on; should go well again, with Luke Scott able to claim 3lb this time. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |

No win for three years but, in all fairness, he hasn't seen a massive amount of action, and he's handily weighted from this 6lb lower mark; bumped into the thriving Ice Jet at Worcester (2m4f; runner-up, beaten over 1l) latest, and a repeat of that should see him on the premises. |

10st 7lb |
Won at Windsor (2m4f, good) on New Year's Day on second start back from an absence and runner-up to progressive winners on next two starts (2m4f, soft); could still have more to offer himself and he's high on the list. |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 15y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Won at Windsor (2m4f, good) on New Year's Day on second start back from a long absence and close second at Ludlow (2m4f, soft) last month behind one who was completing a hat-trick; Jay Tidball, who has been on board on his last two starts, remains in the saddle; solid claims. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 6 |
4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
His second run back from a long absence when nicely on top in the finish at Windsor (2m4f, good; Jay Tidball claimed his 5lb); a 5lb rise isn't overly offputting but he does seem particularly effective on goodish ground. |

Very well handicapped on some of last year's form for Milton Harris and but was out of sorts during three-race spell for Syd Hosie and pulled up on recent debut for latest new trainer; headgear refitted; revival needed. |
