10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Finished fifth with cheekpieces applied at the Cheltenham Festival (2m4f, soft) for another sound effort in the Martin Pipe; broadly consistent; likely to give his running in the retained headgear. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Hasn't won since November 2024 but he's a broadly consistent sort and posted a cracking effort in this race (good to soft) 12 months ago, beating all bar smart mare Wodhooh who was very well handicapped; only 1lb higher and again has each-way possibilities; wears first-time headgear. |

14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 63y Class 2 |

Acts on soft ground; on a 15-month losing spell but is a consistent sort, creditable fourth to Listentoyourheart at Windsor (2m4f) most recently; again has frame possibilities. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
On workable mark if judged on last season's hurdling form at around 2m4f for Paul Nicholls but his chasing debut last March was underwhelming and his finishing effort on seasonal/stable debut in December (favourite) was very disappointing; upped in trip here; has a point to prove. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Five-time winning hurdler who took a firm step forward from May's chasing debut with a convincing win at Worcester (2m7f) the following month; far from discredited when fifth of 13 in valuable event over C&D (again good) and he's a big player in these calmer waters. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Lacked fluency on chase debut but jumped better and beat Grand Clermont kept to Worcester (2m7f, good) last time; unexposed in this sphere and remains favourably treated on best hurdles form, which features a win off 1lb higher; major claims. |
8/1 |

1st 7 |
11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Lacked fluency and was ultimately well beaten over C&D (good) on chasing debut a fortnight ago, after a layoff, but significant positives can still be drawn from that performance and he ought to cope better than some of these if the ground softens; can be dangerous if in a better rhythm today. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Easily won a handicap at Sandown (2m7f, heavy) a fortnight ago; his three hurdle wins have come there and he needs to prove he can reproduce his best form at a different track, but today's trip and forecast soft ground will be right up his street and he's not ruled out on his first run here. |
8/1 |

1st 4 |
31st Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 103y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Won by 18l over C&D in December 2024 and runner-up to Red Dirt Road in this race (off 2lb higher than today) next time, both on heavy going; well beaten last March and November (given wind surgery in between) but surged back to some form when short-headed here four weeks ago; that was over just 2m4f on good ground and today's conditions are more likely to see him back to his best; big shout if he is. |

25th Mar 2025 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Made the running for both hurdle wins (2m, soft) last winter; has found life harder in handicaps but better treated now and he was anything but a pushover for one on a three-timer at Lingfield (2m, soft) last month; trip query back at 2m3f with cheekpieces fitted but still respected. |

20th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Promising juvenile when winning twice on soft ground; beaten in all seven handicaps, the latest when no match for Double Oban here nine days ago; both horses are off the same mark and this 5yo was claimer ridden last week. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Ran well in this race last year and similarly notable handicaps at Cheltenham in November/December; confirmed his reliability by justifying favouritism at Ascot (2m5f, soft) most recently, taking chase record to 1212221; rock-solid contender who again looks sure to be involved. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 13y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Reliable sort, runner-up in competitive events on last three starts; followed fine effort behind a thriving Panic Attack in the Paddy Power at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft) with another good run there five weeks ago when a mistake at the last didn't help; has notably solid form and high on the list again. |
2/1 |

2nd 8 |
1st Mar 2025 Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
All wins at about 2m; has form figures of 121 since switched to fences, winning at Sandown (soft) most recently; connections landed the big handicap chase at Kempton last Saturday with a similar type; interesting contender, assuming he's as effective back up in distance. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Gained most recent win last August; below par in the latest of his two starts this term but is interesting on historical data, having defied a 2lb higher mark at Sandown on Eclipse day four years ago; drops in class. |
7/1 |

6th 2 (1) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Two wins last year (1m4f/1m6f, AW/good to firm) and reappeared with close fifth of eight at Newmarket (1m4f, good) last month; Brodie Hampson is a positive booking; could build on that latest effort provided the reapplied cheekpieces aren't a negative (pulled up over hurdles when worn once previously). |
11/2 |

5th 6 (8) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Exposed 8yo but he's still capable of useful form and scored at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last March; also won over 1m6f on the July course (good to firm; first-time blinkers) in August; returns on a stiff-enough mark with no headgear but they might go a solid gallop which can help. |

3rd May 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |

Finally exploited his much reduced mark when coming clear at Ffos Las a month ago (2m4f, good to soft), where he reportedly appreciated the drying ground; a 5lb rise might not prevent him from following up. |

All three wins in 2022; twice second in the mud at Uttoxeter (2m4f) last spring but well beaten all five starts from November onwards, even when the cheekpieces returned back at Uttoxeter on latest; another career-low mark. |

11st 7lb |
Ex-French gelding who's got it together since undergoing wind surgery, backing up a Ludlow win (2m, soft) when easily seeing off three others at Leicester last week; every chance of the hat-trick upped another 6lb. |
5/4 |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |

Ex-French recruit who gained a first success on just his third run over fences in 2m Ludlow handicap 16 days ago; up 6lb but he scored cosily there and looks the one to beat. |
