1st 5 |
27th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Ex-Irish 7yo who readily drew clear to win in lower-grade company here (2m5f, good) in June, his fifth start for Gary Hanmer; also ran well at Cartmel last month and ought to be in the thick of things again. |
9/4 |

4th 3 |
20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Bumper/hurdle/chase winner in Ireland; mixed record under both codes for current yard but he returned to form with a stylish win over fences at Stratford (2m5f, good) last month; back up 7lb in the weights but that was a personal best last time and he still looks feasibly treated. |

Bumper/hurdle/chase winner in Ireland; down the field in two 1m4f novices on the AW before finishing fifth and sixth in a pair of handicap hurdles at about 2m; reservations for now. |

3rd 1 |
26th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Largely reliable veteran and a three-time winner since December, latterly over C&D in April; touched off at Fontwell 20 days ago, with I Shut That d'Or about 5l back in third; nudged up 1lb but likely to make his presence felt again. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
6th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Veteran who has won three times over fences since December including at Plumpton (2m4f, good) 17 days ago; that was in a small field and his main rival made a bad mistake at the last but he still looks feasibly treated and is versatile ground-wise; respected. |
5/1 |
|
1st 2 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Reliable sort who scored at Leicester (2m4f) in March; not discredited when fifth in 2m5f handicap chase at Newton Abbot 15 days ago so ought to be in the shake-up eased 1lb. |

28th Jun 2024 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
A fair 19f hurdles/chase winner last autumn who comes here on the back of a solid third of seven in 21f handicap chase at Market Rasen two weeks ago; shortlisted with tongue-tie refitted. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
14th Jun 2024 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Sits 4lb higher than when scoring at Sedgefield (2m3f, soft) last November, a form line given a boost by Neigh Botha at Southwell on Tuesday; turned in a solid effort on return to jumps action at Stratford (third) a fortnight ago and could have more to offer; probable contender. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 4 |
1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won over hurdles and fences last season and probably still on a fair mark; however, two tailed-off runs on the Flat since April cast some doubts over his wellbeing. |

11st 10lb |
Had been struggling but bounced back for a fourth chase success at Lingfield two weeks ago (2m, soft; made most); wouldn't be certain to repeat that form but clear claims if he can off 5lb higher. |

Dual winner over fences including here (2m4f, good to soft); 5lb lower than when second of six over hurdles at Stratford (2m6f, good) in May, but well held in both subsequent outings; stable also runs Catalan King. |

1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Sole success from nine chase starts came in a match but there was nothing wrong with her effort when going down narrowly in a 2m4f chase at Ludlow three weeks ago (good) and that was a useful race for the grade; respected. |
100/30 |
|
3rd 3 |
12th May 2024 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Sole success from eight chase starts came in a match; tailed off at Cheltenham last month (2m, good) and was behind Royale Margaux; this is probably a better trip for her and for that reason she's not ruled out. |

25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Good-ground specialist who was useful in his prime for Chris Down; without a win since 2022, though, and recent point form for David Dennis is not inspiring (refused to race on latest appearance). |
16/1 |

6th 7 |
21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Winless since summer 2022 but he's generally reliable and often placed, though he has to be forgiven a lesser effort at Worcester (2m4f, good) last time; not the force of old, but he's handicapped accordingly and capable of bouncing back. |

13th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
2m4f hurdle winner (good); well treated on his hurdles form with Olly Murphy but has plenty to prove on the majority of his chase efforts. |
33/1 |

18th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Stringing together some chasing completions now, and this would be miles easier than the class 3s he's contested the last twice (70l behind L'Eau Du Sud in a 0-140 latest); could still jump more tidily. |

Won over hurdles but out of form in that discipline before suffering another heavy defeat on chase debut (2m4f handicap, good); cheekpieces enlisted this time. |

14th May 2024 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

Hasn't been at his best on last two starts over hurdles (on good ground last time) having won a Hereford novice handicap off 2lb lower in January (2m3f, good to soft, tongue-tie on for first time); bit to prove now chasing. |
