7th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Ran okay when seventh in this last year and he reappeared with a win at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to soft) in October; however, his subsequent form has been mixed (fences/hurdles) and Top Jimmy looks the yard's chief hope. |
33/1 |

7th 4 |
12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 104y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Made a winning reappearance in Newton Abbot handicap hurdle (2m1f, good to soft) in October; switched to fences subsequently, matching his peak RPR over timber when fourth in 2m3f Exeter novice handicap (good to soft) five weeks ago; won his previous outing on heavy. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Two wins during his novice campaign included a handicap (2m, soft); 0-5 last season but ran well at the weights behind Constitution Hill at Cheltenham in January and comfortably regained the winning thread on his reappearance at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to soft) three weeks ago; up 4lb but he's bred for fences and looks a player on debut in this sphere. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Can make mistakes but he was runner-up twice in a row prior to winning a quality handicap at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft) in January, when clear with subsequent Ultima runner-up Jagwar; a 5lb rise for that career-best performance isn't harsh and he's entitled to respect. |

1st 7 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
10st 8lb |
Hard to knock in terms of consistency and he again ran creditably when second of seven at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) on Welsh National day; however, he's prone to the odd mistake and may not get away with them on his first run over fences at Cheltenham. |
12/1 |

3rd 1 |
28th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Struck form over fences at start of this year, winning over 2m3f on soft ground at Exeter and Chepstow; subsequent 261-day break may have checked his momentum but further progress is possible this season. |

15th May 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won a big-field maiden hurdle at Exeter (2m2f, heavy) in January but he's been disappointing since including in two handicaps at Exeter; still unexposed over hurdles but he was beaten 52l last time and has questions to answer at this new trip. |

10st 11lb |
Ex-Irish 9yo whose second-place finish at Exeter (2m2f, heavy) came in selling grade and who still has a poor strike-rate; far from certain to go one better returned to handicap level. |

5th Jun 2024 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Has done her winning at about 2m, latest at Ffos Las in February; soundly beaten on last four starts, with moves back up to about 2m4f/3m for last three; her one piece of 3m form was back in January 2022 but she is back 4lb lower than her last winning mark. |

15th May 2024 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |

Placed over 3m early in career but has done her winning at about 2m, including twice at Ffos Las; modest fourth over 2m4f here most recently; bit to prove back up further in trip. |

27th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Can be a bit in and out but he stuck to his task and just got the better of Le Galli Bier for second last time at Plumpton (2m4f, soft); however, the winner left both behind and this 9yo is off the same mark. |
8/1 |

2nd 1 |
23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Rather in and out since winning at Fontwell in December 2024, but he was in the process of running one of his better races when falling at the second last at Lingfield (2m4f, heavy) 18 days ago; likely to play a part if none the worse for that experience. |
4/1 |

5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Seemed to find 2m7f too taxing here last month but had arguably been fortunate to escape with just a small nudge up the weights for his clear second at Warwick (2m4f, good to soft) on New Year's Eve, and this drop back in trip looks the right move. |

4th Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
A one-time fairly useful 2m7f chase winner but he's been pulled up on two of his last three starts over hurdles, most recently at Newton Abbot (2m5f) last month; he's hard to make a case for. |
25/1 |

29th May 2024 Soft 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Won twice in 2022 (2m3f/2m6f, very soft/good) but he's shown very little in two runs since returning from an absence, over 2m and 2m4f (again on soft). |
