13th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 127y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Ex-pointer; dual winner over 3m here in 2024 (good); sound run when third over 2m4f here last time; interesting contender. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Soundly beaten at Kelso three weeks ago but may have needed that first run since last July; won a big-field handicap at 50-1 at Punchestown (2m3f, yielding) last April and is on a handy mark on that form; not ruled out. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
50-1 winner of competitive handicap at Punchestown (2m3f, yielding) last April; unplaced on next three starts (May-July) and returns to action having had wind surgery; however, he needs to be at the very top of his game. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 6f 121y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
If the ground is bordering on good then this 8yo could take some beating as he hosed up at Warwick last month (3m, good) on his second run after a break; the 8lb rise isn't the end of the world. |
100/30 |

1st 8 |
26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Following a break he reverted to fences at Kempton (3m) 12 days ago and returned to form with a 3l second on his favoured good ground; that performance reads well and he's high on the list today. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 8 |
14th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Can go well fresh; returns from a break on a favourable mark, just 1lb higher than his latest chase win, at Worcester (2m7f, good) last July; bled from the nose when tailed off over hurdles in October so wellbeing unknown but has possibilities, especially if the ground is good. |

25th Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Placed twice here this season (2m4f/3m) and probably won't be far away today but he's nothing like the force of old and has not won since 2022; others have more exciting profiles. |
16/1 |

17th Aug 2024 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Last hurdles win was in December 2021; consistent this summer, keeping on into fourth (immediately behind Dalileo) over C&D last month; needs to find extra to resume winning ways; stablemate of Starlyte. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Two wins last season, the first a four-runner Huntingdon handicap in May (3m1f, good), the second a six-runner handicap at Newbury (3m, good to soft) in March; far from disgraced in a competitive race at Aintree last time and not without a chance despite career-high mark. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Ridden last ten starts by William Maggs; seventh hurdle win when seeing off five rivals at Newbury (3m, good to soft) three weeks ago but even a 2lb nudge seems likely to stop him in this much more competitive scenario. |
25/1 |
|
1st 5 |
20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Ridden last nine starts by William Maggs; rarely seen on soft ground; six-time winner, most recently last May; good placed efforts at about 3m four times in a row in October-December, before he failed to show in a Pertemps qualifier at Musselburgh (10-1) nearly seven weeks ago; best form this term was over C&D, so he's not entirely ruled out. |

Is 0-17 but comes here in good nick, third of 19 in 3m Down Royal handicap ten days ago; he can make his presence felt once more. |

30th Aug 2024 Good 3m 0f 0y |
11st 1lb |
Remains a maiden but went close at Downpatrick in May (2m6f, good) from 3lb lower; had the race at his mercy when a faller at Perth next time; failed to quicken when fourth at Downpatrick when sent off favourite this month but has a 13lb pull in the weights with the reopposing Mister Vic. |

11th Aug 2024 Good 2m 5f 180y |

Remains a maiden but nearly put that right over C&D in May when 4lb lower and had every chance when falling at Perth next time; it wasn't a bad run back there four weeks ago and he's in the mix. |

Four hurdles wins on good in 2022 for Fergal O'Brien; back for new yard in April after 418 days off and latest start was a step back in the right direction; unraced beyond 2m5f but 7lb below his last winning mark. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |

0-14 in points and 2-29 under rules, with chase record 0-6; very opposable on what he's been showing of late in handicap chases. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Career record reads 2-42 including 14 starts in points; finished a very long way behind Wheresmemoneygone at Perth (3m, good) last month, but even a huge weights swing makes him hard to fancy; tongue-tie returns. |
40/1 |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |

Second of four in C&D (good) hunter chase in May, but the form isn't anything to go wild about and he was pulled up when back in a handicap at Hexham last month; others look much stronger. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
2024 C&D winner; promising third when returning from a 15-month absence at Wetherby (3m, good) in March, in this headgear combination, proving he retains a good chunk of his ability; however, he'll need to quickly bounce back from a lesser effort at Perth last time, which tempers enthusiasm. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

Only win was over 2m7f at Hexham in June 2024 (good); fair third at Wetherby last time (3m, good); chance on his best form but soft ground not ideal. |

3rd 2 |
27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |

Defied a similar mark in June 2024 for sole career success (2m7f, good); ran well afterwards but now returns from a very long absence. |
