24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
A dual winner (at about 3m) last April but he's not been seen since coming in a well-held third of five in 3m2f handicap chase at Newton Abbot ten months ago; he needs to hit the ground running. |

9th Apr 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 198y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Back from a break and her yard has won two of the last four renewals; has been chasing this season, making all to beat two rivals off 1lb lower at Exeter in November (3m, good); has won twice as a hurdler and should hold every chance. |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 3m 2f 54y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Just 1-13 over fences but comes here after two good recent runs, the latter when a clear second at Uttoxeter (3m, good); still on a workable mark and will be suited by the extra distance today; respected. |
11/2 |

2nd 6 |
16th Sep 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Thorough stayer who won by 15l here (3m2f, good) last autumn and returns after a pretty good third at Worcester (2m7f, good) last month; significant rain would leave him with something to prove (unraced on ground slower than good to soft under rules) but, otherwise, he's a contender. |
9/1 |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Third at Cheltenham in April (3m4f) and similar form when a 12l second at Stratford; blew out in a first-time tongue-tie last time (replacing cheekpieces) and that's swiftly removed. |

25th Jun 2024 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Two-time C&D winner; finished a 25l fifth of eight in September on the back of a lengthy absence and has not been sighted again since; on a good mark and has gone well fresh in the past but he has something to prove at present and can only be watched with blinkers now added. |
