2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 104y |
11st 3lb |
Better chaser than hurdler, third win coming in 3m Kempton handicap in January (good); better again when second in better-class contest over same C&D following month, disappointingly never counted in Ultima at Cheltenham latest; possibly best going right-handed so could go well here, especially if ground continues to dry out. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
Won at Kempton (3m, good) in January and good second in competitive handicap there (3m, good to soft) last month; could give another good account but he didn't quite stay when fifth here (extended 3m2f, good to soft) in December and it's possible he'll again prove vulnerable up the hill. |

2nd 5 |
21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Closely matched with Deep Cave on their Bangor clash in November (soft) and, back at 3m from 3m2f, he dug deep for a course win last month (good); only went up 1lb for that and the runner-up ran well in defeat last weekend at Ascot. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Better known as a hurdler and has had some jumping issues over fences (even when he won) but he kept on well for clear second in first-time cheekpieces at Stratford (2m6f, good) six weeks ago and gets another chance off the same mark here. |
9/4 |

2nd 1 |
28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Scored over fences at Doncaster (2m3f) last term; in good nick without winning over hurdles this season until 17th in Pertemps Hurdle at Cheltenham 16 days ago; back chasing here with cheekpieces fitted and no forlorn hope. |
5/2 |

17th 10 |
12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
Did well at 2m3f-2m5f when reverting to hurdles for his last three starts last season; not quite so good this term and he did not shout stamina when upped to 3m for last two outings; others have more compelling claims. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Won twice as a novice last season and ended up in the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham (tailed off after racing freely); this campaign is going well and he should stay okay as he wasn't stopping when runner-up over Exeter's super-stiff 3m6f in December (soft); the race he won at Wincanton last time (3m1f, heavy; cheekpieces returned) rather fell apart but he did hack up and the 6lb rise could been a whole lot worse; it's a nagging concern that all five wins have been on right-handed tracks but there's lots to like otherwise about this 7yo. |
9/1 |
|
1st 4 |
29th Jan 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 30y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Dual chase winner who goes well in the mud and he could have done with slower ground when a 6l third over C&D on Boxing Day (good to soft); entitled to step up on that effort here and enters the reckoning. |
5/2 |
|
11th 18 |
11th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 5f 201y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Scored at Exeter (3m, good to soft) in October on second attempt over fences and brushed two lesser efforts aside with a game, front-running win in first-time cheekpieces at Taunton (2m7f, soft) five weeks ago; up 4lb but stays 3m well and could have more to offer. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |
12st 2lb |
Won four times over hurdles last season (2m7f-3m) but chasing didn't go to plan in the autumn and he was soundly beaten when back over hurdles on Boxing Day; needs to get career back on track. |
16/1 |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 208y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
In excellent form in the spring, completing hat-trick with ready success in series final at Haydock (3m) in April before going very close in another competitive handicap over that C&D (also on good) in May; obvious contender if in similar nick after 168-day break. |
16/1 |

2nd 4 |
10th May 2025 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Ended last season in excellent form, completing a hat-trick with a ready C&D success (good; Thank You Ma'am second) in a quite valuable series final three weeks ago; last two wins were under today's claiming rider Callum Pritchard; probably still on the upgrade; good chance. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Highly progressive over fences in the first half of last season, winning here four times (2m, good to soft/good); 2m5f here appeared to stretch him last month following some time off; has a lower mark to work with back over hurdles and he could play a leading role back down in trip. |
7/2 |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Highly progressive over fences last summer, winning five handicaps (four here) at around 2m on ground no worse than good to soft, though he ended the campaign pulled up at Cheltenham; has since had a second wind op and could find more at this longer trip (2m3f hurdle winner), which will be needed off this mark following a break. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 199y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Highly progressive over fences, making it five handicap wins for the campaign (2m, good/good to soft) when making all in three-runner race at Newton Abbot last time; further progress is possible but necessary in this warm contest; can jump to the right. |

29th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Dual hurdle winner who hit a personal best with his last success at Fontwell (2m5f, good) in May; 6lb higher on his return but he's a brother to a useful chaser and needs a close look on this switch to fences. |

Won his maiden here over 2m3f on soft; hasn't look on that good a mark in handicaps but was beaten under 5l over C&D last time in first-time cheekpieces; each-way claims. |

16th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 164y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Impressed on chase debut at Exeter (2m2f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in April and next race only six days on perhaps came too soon; ran better the following month and has had wind surgery during his break; might be on a tough mark but respected. |

26th May 2024 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Made an impressive winning chase debut at Exeter (2m2f, good; first-time tongue-tie) last month but disappointed under a 7lb penalty at Warwick (2m, good; 4-5) six days later; perhaps the race came too soon (he reportedly made a respiratory noise) and he is shortlisted, despite another 6lb rise, if back on song. |
