27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Takes on possible improvers in this field; otherwise a solid candidate who has five chase wins on his CV, the most recent off current mark in this race 12 months ago; last two efforts show he's back in form; respected. |
5/1 |

3rd 2 |
11th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Scored for the fifth time over fences when taking a Wetherby handicap (3m, good) just under a year ago; made a solid return in November and he was back down to that last winning mark when bumping into an improver at Southwell (about 3m1f, soft) three weeks ago; contender. |

2nd 3 |
18th Feb 2026 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Scored for the fifth time over fences when taking a Wetherby handicap (3m, good) in March; back down to that mark but his last two efforts have been uninspiring; needs a revival but that's not out of the question. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
None too consistent but he has won five times over fences, latest at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) in February off 3lb lower; beaten a neck back there off this mark last month and his best chance of further success is perhaps back at that venue. |
9/2 |

5th 7 |
31st Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
None too consistent but he has won five times over fences and nearly made that six last time at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft); he's handicapped about right but needs considering. |
9/2 |

2nd 3 |
9th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Five-time chase winner, most recently over C&D (soft) last month; remote when third at Huntingdon eight days ago and not one to rely upon nowadays but he's still on a good mark if in the right mood. |

11st 12lb |
Caused 20-1 surprise under positive ride at Wincanton (3m1f, soft) in December, but was back in the doldrums at Huntingdon in March and it's hard to predict whether he'll warm to the task here. |

His sole success came back in 2021 but he showed more than of late when fifth of 11 in 2m6f Stratford handicap chase three weeks ago; more is required from 5lb out of the handicap however. |

12st 0lb |
10lb higher than when taking this race 12 months ago but won again here on Boxing Day off this mark; not the most consistent of mares but she's dangerous to discount given her liking for the track. |

Second in a 2022 Irish point; soundly beaten in three runs over hurdles and pulled up on handicap/chase debut (2m7f) in January when last seen, despite being second favourite; early days at least. |

12th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |

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. |

10st 11lb |
Dual good-ground hurdle winner at Newcastle (2m6f/2m7f) in early 2022 but seems badly to have lost his way over hurdles and fences during the last year or so; leap of faith is required to support him here. |

Both wins in good-ground events over hurdles at Newcastle in 2022; achieved nothing in 2023, latterly over fences; enough to prove. |
