26th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Dual course winner (3m/3m1f); not beaten far when fifth of six in C&D (good to soft) contest won by Ballycamus in December and didn't run badly in competitive Windsor marathon last month; can't be ignored off this mark. |

18th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 4f 162y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Front-runner who won two in a row in late 2024 (3m1f/3m, good/soft), on the second occasion off today's mark, and he ran pretty well over 3m4f at Haydock last March; hasn't run badly on either outing this season but needs something extra this afternoon. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Dual chase winner towards end of 2024 (3m1f/3m); only third of four behind Regarde at Haydock (3m4f, good) in March but wasn't beaten far; resumes on a workable mark and with Patrick Mullins a good jockey booking. |

12th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 5lb |
Two small-field wins this term, latterly in first-time cheekpieces which have been kept since; rallied since for third at Uttoxeter (soft) and second at Doncaster (good), leaving the strong impression over 3m2f last time that he has stamina reserves; up 2lb but makes each-way appeal. |

1st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 2f 1y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Won well under Finn Lambert over about 3m in small fields at Southwell (good) in October and Doncaster (good to soft) in December, latterly in first-time cheekpieces which have been kept since; up 4lb to this mark when a creditable, rallying third on soft at Uttoxeter three weeks ago; has more to give over this sort of trip and may well revert to winning ways. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 146y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
3m4f resulted in an 8l win at Cheltenham last April and he's won over 3m/3m2f in two of his three starts this season; latest was the Kim Muir at Cheltenham in which he was always front rank under Shane Cotter and responded admirably when Road To Home joined him on the run-in; up 7lb but this trip makes plenty of appeal and all five chase wins have been on good ground or good to firm (withdrawn from Scottish National last week due to the heavy); has a bit to prove going right-handed, with a run here in December prompting concern, but otherwise lots to like. |
7/1 |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Hat-trick last year (2m7f/3m4f, good/good to firm) featured a spring win at Cheltenham; ran well for a long way before tiring at Sandown (3m4f) in December on going that was good to soft, soft in places; better ground today would be a plus for his claims. |

Has gained all chase wins at Ludlow, the most recent in late 2023; dismal form since, including at that venue; not the percentage call. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Down to this mark when nearly winning for the first time in seven years at Huntingdon in March and a slightly lesser effort when third at Hereford (also 2m, good) came just one week later; not ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Came very close to a first win in seven years when narrowly denied at Huntingdon (2m, good) seven days ago; can race keenly and unlikely to get an easy lead here, but worth considering if reproducing that effort off the same mark. |
