5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Six chase wins, the latest here (1m7f, heavy) under Rian Corcoran 19 days ago; still on workable mark after recent 5lb rise and will be fine over today's longer trip but the faster ground is probably not in his favour. |

1st 1 |
14th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Five-time chase winner who relishes testing ground; runner-up in his first two starts this season including a close call at Exeter (2m1f, good to soft), but his form cooled at Hereford last time; needs to step up again after that but he remains well treated on his old form. |

Five-time chase winner who relishes testing ground; runner-up on both starts this term and looks sure to go close. |

prominent, left in second 1st, not fluent 4 out, lost position gradually after 2 out, weakening when hit last |

3rd 7 |
29th May 2024 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Ex-French 6yo who came good for Micky Hammond at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft) in November; has very mixed record since but is 4lb lower now and didn't run badly when fifth (behind Sword Of Fate) in first-time blinkers at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) this month. |

Extremely hard to win with and modest runs outweigh the good ones these days. |

5th 10 |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Good third at Market Rasen two runs back (2m1f, good to soft); hard to win with, but an each-way chance; new combination of headgear tried. |
10/1 |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
On a good mark now (even from 3lb out of the weights) and arrested his decline with fairly good third of seven here (2m1f, good to soft; first-time hood) three weeks ago; however, this quirky customer doesn't always find much when the chips are down and has a modest strike-rate. |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Veteran who gained four of his 14 wins here (one over C&D); ran much better than eventual 22l defeat might suggest on slower-than-ideal ground at Cartmel (2m1f good to soft) a fortnight ago; worth a second look here, even from 4lb out of the weights. |
16/1 |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Veteran who has won 14 races in his career including three over C&D; 13lb below his last winning mark but his efforts since last autumn leave plenty to be desired. |
20/1 |
|

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Veteran with three C&D wins and seven other chase victories on his CV; lurks on a dangerous mark but has been out of form this spring (cheekpieces added last time) and the ground may turn against him today. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Resumed winning ways over fences at Stratford (2m1f) in March but below par both runs since, beating just one in 2m4f Warwick handicap chase last month; needs to take a big step forward back in this sphere. |
14/1 |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Landed his fourth win over fences at Stratford in March (2m1f, soft) but his Huntingdon third was remote and some inconsistency has crept in. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Back to his best after a three-month break when landing his fourth win over fences at Stratford (2m1f, soft) last month; up 5lb but recorded back-to-back victories around this time last year so not to be taken lightly. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 59y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Four chase wins, the latest off today's mark in this race a year ago (good ground); absent since some below-par efforts on slower-than-ideal ground towards end of 2025 and not getting any younger but booking of Sean Bowen drops strong hint he'll be primed for a bold defence. |
11/10 |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Not the force of old but won at Fakenham (2m, good) in June off 4lb lower and has run with credit on all four starts since; should run his usual honest race. |
12/1 |
|

2nd Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Only ever a winner between April and July, but one of only two previous visits here netted him a C&D success off 15lb higher and he's got the trip and ground that suit once again; certainly respected. |

30th May 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Well treated based on his 2022 form; came in for some support when 16-1 and a faller at Wetherby (1m7f, soft) in March on his return from a lengthy absence; drops 2lb; return to further looks positive. |
12/1 |

28th Mar 2024 Soft 1m 7f 36y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Placed in two small-field handicaps on his two starts over fences; they were in the summer of 2022 and hasn't run since; likely to be better for the run. |
