17th Feb 2026 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Made successful return to hurdles at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) a year ago and finished third over the same C&D in December after ten months off; held at Wetherby (3m1f, good to soft) since, but that was in a better race; respected with conditions likely to be ideal. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 5y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
After two pull-ups over fences he won back hurdling at Lingfield 11 months ago (2m7f, soft; 5lb lower); wasn't far away there last month when giving the impression that race would bring him on; considered. |

31st Jan 2025 Soft 2m 7f 110y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
2-21 over fences, the latest win in January 2021; twice a runner-up on heavy ground last March but pulled up both starts since; probably needed the run last time after 235 days off and he now has a career-low mark, but others are more persuasive. |

10th Dec 2024 Soft 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Twice a runner-up on heavy ground in March, including here, and probably found the good ground too lively when pulled up back here in April; has the ability to figure but has tended to need his first run back from a break in the past. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won his final two starts last season and he made it 3-8 over fences when completing a hat-trick over 3m1f at Wincanton (the vet reported he was treated for post-race ataxia) on his comeback in February; up another 4lb but he seems versatile ground-wise and is open to more progress as a staying chaser; key player. |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Made his breakthrough in a chase handicap at Leicester (2m6f, soft) last January and he completed a double at Taunton (2m7f, good to soft) the following month; has been absent since then but he still looks feasibly treated and should have more to offer in this sphere; needs a close look on comeback. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Has won four chases and latest was at Newcastle in October (2m4f, good); well handicapped on that form but he's been disappointing since and was pulled up at Perth two weeks ago. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 4 |

Has won four chases, all over this trip, the latest at Newcastle in October (good); fair third at Hexham last time (2m4f, good); a possible. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 5f 24y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Thorough stayer but he was a remote third in this 12 months ago and nowhere near his best this campaign; an 11yo now and age seems to be catching up. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Began this year with some respectable efforts, most notably when second in first-time blinkers at Chepstow (3m6f, good); should be fine on the slower ground here but has fitness to prove after 224-day break and others appeal more; cheekpieces refitted. |

3rd 4 |
9th Apr 2025 Good To Firm 3m 4f 85y Class 4 |

2lb out of the weights; he was 3lb wrong and didn't jump that well but stuck to his task to be second at Chepstow (3m6f, good) in the first-time blinkers 20 days ago; thereabouts with something similar. |

23rd Oct 2024 Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Reverted to hurdling with respectable fourth at Warwick (2m5f, good) in May but was quickly back in the doldrums on next outing and is now 0-14 under all codes; needs 134-day break to have done her good. |
8/1 |

11th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Pulled up in two slow-ground chases at end of last season but fared much better when fourth of 13 over hurdles at Warwick (2m5f, good) last month and is 3lb lower today; each-way claims at least. |
8/1 |

6th May 2024 Good 2m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
11-race maiden who didn't progress over hurdles last year and it's been the same story over fences since December; has been pulled up in her last two starts and has lots to prove back over hurdles. |

31st Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Effective on all ground but Leicester is his favourite patch; his record elsewhere isn't that solid and twice well held here, as was also the case when tried in blinkers last time at Uttoxeter. |

2nd 7 |
14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Particularly effective at Leicester, as best form this season confirms; his record at Uttoxeter isn't as solid; nicely weighted but chance partly depends on how well he responds to new headgear. |
7/1 |

24th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Leicester specialist whose good record here features second-place finishes in this contest last year (off 2lb higher) and on latest outing (had wind surgery since); solid claims. |
5/1 |
Verdict
All these struggle with consistency and come with risks. Market confidence would be welcomed after his break, but CAMULUS had flashes of form for Christian Williams that makes him of strong interest off this low a mark. Moodofthemoment was better for blinkers here last time and he’s second choice ahead of Nine Nine Nine.[Alistair Jones]
