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 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. |
15/2 |

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. |

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 13lb |
Only four completed when a 16l third at Exeter (3m, good to soft) and that was another effort well below the form he showed in 2024; reduced mark is for good reason but this isn't a strong race, so hard to leave him out of calculations. |
11/1 |

3rd 1 |
6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Well handicapped on his wins in staying chases two seasons ago but this campaign needs to turn a corner and he'd prefer softer ground. |

10st 12lb |
Three-time chase winner who enjoys good ground and returned to form with a solid third at Carlisle (3m); off the same mark he merits attention. |
