25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Fairly useful handicap chaser who exploited his novice hurdle status over C&D (good) in July, finishing well to pip Yellow Card; has more to do at these weights and is much more exposed than some of these but will be favoured if the emphasis is on stamina. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Either or both the class 2 company and drop back to 3m compromised him in Uttoxeter's Summer Cup latest (blinkers debuted there retained); untried over today's even shorter trip since November 2023 and over hurdles for longer still, so hard to see how this assignment plays to many strengths. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Stays well, as his two performances over 3m4f at Haydock attest; finished well for second over 3m1f at Aintree (good) most recently; not crying out for this drop back to 3m but may be aided by new headgear; represents last year's winning yard. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Not the force of old and has failed to complete in his last two starts but this is a drop back in grade and he went close at Catterick (3m1f, good) in November; looks interesting on that form and he made all when winning this race last year. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |

Not the force of old and his second at Catterick (3m1f, good) in November came in a two-horse race; followed that with a poor run in a veterans' chase at Doncaster; others appeal more. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Regressive 10yo who has not won since February 2023; ran fairly well when second of five over C&D (good) in May but was well held in the end, and was pulled up when reverting to hurdles in July; others have more appealing profiles. |
5/1 |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |

Won a maiden hurdle in early 2021 before making a name for himself over fences; not as good as he was but handicapped accordingly and could enjoy a return to hurdles. |

19th Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Last win was over 2m3f here in May of last year off 6lb higher; not quite hit the same heights this year and has been finishing his races rather tamely. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Not really firing on all cylinders since returning from a break in the autumn and has developed a tendency to finish rather weakly but comes here after two respectable 2m4f thirds this spring (cheekpieces added last time) and continues to edge down the weights. |
3/1 |

13th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Dual chase winner who was ridden much closer to the pace than is often the case when very respectable third behind Abingworth at Warwick (2m4f, good) last month; remains on a workable mark and features prominently in calculations; cheekpieces (tried once in early 2024) refitted. |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Four-time chase winner for Greenall-Guerriero stable; has a patchy record but he's run well in two of his three starts for current yard, including a clear second at Market Rasen (3m, soft) last month; has claims if he can back that up and his last win was off 1lb higher. |
8/1 |

2nd 4 |
16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Four-time chase winner (once over C&D) for Greenall-Guerriero stable; made quite pleasing seasonal/stable debut when second of four at Ludlow (3m1f, good) in November but ran very poorly at Hereford last month and needs to bounce back from that. |
12/1 |

20th Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |

Won over C&D (soft) last season and has twice finished second over 3m3f here this term (good to soft; including Lincolnshire National); also suited by good ground and current mark is workable; respected. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Hampered when unseating in an open point at neighbouring Howick last month, and generally a safe ride; both handicap chase wins (from 17 starts over fences) have come over Wincanton's 3m1f on ground softer than good, and the drying forecast isn't strictly ideal. |

7th Feb 2025 Soft 3m 5f 142y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Rated much higher in the past so Newbury last time was disappointing (3m2f, good to soft) after going up just 3lb for winning a small-field handicap at Wincanton (3m1f, soft); getting back on soft ground should help and he'll stay okay. |

Struggled with his jumping over fences and after a fall at Ludlow he finished tailed off back over hurdles at Newbury (2m4f; first-time blinkers); now has questions to answer. |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
In good form over hurdles since swapping cheekpieces for blinkers this year and, following a win at Chepstow (2m7f, soft), reverted to chasing with clear/close second to unexposed rival here (2m3f, heavy) a fortnight ago; this race is stronger but the move back up in trip will suit; shortlisted. |

In good form over hurdles since swapping cheekpieces for blinkers this year, most recently when winning at Chepstow (2m7f, soft); reverts to chasing on a workable mark and will be fine over today's shorter trip; respected. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Very inconsistent over last year or so and tends to hit a flat spot in his races now but kept on to make the frame on both outings in blinkers last month (2m7f/2m) and seems versatile ground-wise; each-way claims. |
