24th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
4-9 over fences; creditable second in Class 2 chase at Uttoxeter (3m2f, good) this summer and filled same position behind revitalised opponent at Worcester (2m7f, good) last month; holds each-way claims at least. |
14/1 |

2nd 6 |
5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
4-8 over fences; ran big race when second of ten in competitive Class 2 chase at Uttoxeter (3m2f, good) on latest outing six weeks ago and is only 1lb higher here; probably best suited by good/good to soft ground but has been placed on soft; major player. |

4-7 over fences; a gritty winner at Warwick in early June (3m, good) and went close to following up over that same trip here a day later; up in grade but remains on a competitive mark and the break should have done her good. |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Won at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last March and he finished in the first three in his next five starts; still looks on workable mark but he had a rare blip at Windsor (2m6f, soft) last month and he's never raced at shorter than 2m3f; bit to prove and others are preferred. |
9/2 |

7th 11 |
16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 6f 50y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Consistent sort who won at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last March and has been in the first three on all five starts since, most recently runner-up here (2m4f, good); stays this far and versatile ground-wise; each-way player. |
10/1 |

29th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
First-time blinkers did the trick when scoring at Fontwell (2m3f, good) in March and he was short of room at a crucial stage when close third at Plumpton (2m4f) the following month; now 8lb higher than for his last win but he's a reliable type who still has potential in this sphere; respected on his return. |

Admirable 13yo who recorded his seventh chase win when scoring at Fakenham (2m5f, good) in January; ran well when fair third behind a big improver at Stratford (2m3f, good) last month but this is a different test and he's never won over this far; others are more persuasive. |

Still sprightly after all these years and he didn't have to work too hard to gain a seventh chase win, at Fakenham (2m5f, good) in January; has won one of just two course starts but he might just need this after a break. |

Just 1-14 over hurdles but she made it 2-5 over fences when scoring at Fontwell (3m2f, soft) last month; came up a bit short when second at Wincanton (3m1f, soft) 12 days ago, but that was another good effort and she's respected on this drop back in trip. |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 5f 82y Class 5 |

Record of 1-10 over hurdles and has the same strike-rate over fences; his last success was in a chase handicap at Warwick (3m, good) last April but he's not matched that form since and was tailed off at Exeter last time; comes with risks attached after a break and his last hurdle run was 12 months ago. |

Well beaten after racing too freely over 3m at Bangor last month and now 0-14 over fences but ran quite well when third on stable debut at Hereford (2m5f, good) in March and is suited by this track; sports refitted cheekpieces and has slipped to a good mark; dangerous to ignore. |

Off the mark with an easy win at Huntingdon in January (2m, good to soft); another good run at that track 18 days ago, making the running and jumping the last in front but tiring on the run-in, passed by Pescatorius in the final 100yds; should run well again. |

Just 1-20 under rules but runner-up in two of her last three runs, including over hurdles at Hereford (2m5f, good) in November; sole win was on good to firm ground but she handles soft (more to prove on heavy) and has possibilities back in this sphere. |

Well supported when scoring at Taunton (3m, good to firm) on penultimate start, her first after wind surgery; went up 5lb for that; couldn't match that effort when dropped back to 2m2f here latest; drops 1lb and the return to further should suit; player. |
