10st 9lb |
Two more chase wins in 2025, the latest at Windsor (3m, good to soft; suited by good) in November; often battled with unsuitable ground over the winter but 4lb lower than at Windsor so has a weights chance. |

16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
2lb below his Windsor success in November but he's not matched that level since, latest when well held at Taunton (2m7f, heavy) last month; needs the return to better ground to spark a revival. |

11st 9lb |
On the downgrade now and returned from a break with 37l defeat behind My Girl Katie at Newton Abbot last month; might well have needed that outing and has conditions to suit here but others appeal more all the same; wears blinkers and cheekpieces simultaneously for the first time. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Five-time chase winner (once over C&D); returned to form with a string of good efforts in the autumn but absent since pulled up in Fakenham marathon just before Christmas and entitled to benefit from this outing. |

22nd Dec 2024 Good To Soft 3m 5f 24y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Close second in C&D (good) Norfolk National in early part of last season and was a 3m course winner (good to soft) last November; needed considerable help from the handicapper before last month's Warwick success (3m1f, good) but has been placed twice since and the return to this track is an obvious plus; cheekpieces removed after one use; big player. |

Inconsistent last season and absent since tame effort in March but won when fresh a year ago, at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft), and begins his new campaign from a good mark. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Made all to win by 12l at Wincanton (2m4f, heavy) in January, despite racing too freely, but was hit quite hard by the handicapper for that and was safely held on both subsequent outings (2m5f/2m7f). |
14/1 |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Didn't settle but still recorded an easy Wincanton win under Harry Cobden in January (2m4f, heavy); contested lead and 11lb rise found him out latest, and at least one of those will be an issue again here. |
8/1 |

7th 11 |
9th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Made it 14th-time lucky under rules with a powerful front-running display at Wincanton (2m4f, heavy) in January, winning by 12l; rider's 10lb claim useful in view of his 11lb higher mark, but whether things will work out so favourably this time remains to be seen. |

23rd Apr 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Sole hurdle win was in 2019 and he's struggled over fences and hurdles in three runs after a long absence; mark is tumbling but he has plenty to prove after another break. |

1st Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 137y Class 5 |

Pulled up over fences in November, after a long absence, and struggled over C&D when back over hurdles two weeks ago; needs to prove some ability remains. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Versatile sort who won three times (2m2f-3m) in June-September last year; only 1lb higher than for his last success but he's been well held in his last three runs and needs a major revival after wind surgery. |
16/1 |

9th 9 |
21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Did well for new stable in early part of season, winning three times under Sean Bowen (2m2f-3m, good/good to soft); returned from break with low-key run last month but has the champion jockey back on board today. |
12/1 |

12th 2 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Did well for new stable in early part of season, winning three times (2m2f-3m, good/good to soft); absent since below-par run in the autumn but can play a significant role if fully tuned up. |
