28th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Nearly made a successful stable debut at Wincanton (3m2f, good) in October, after a layoff; twice disappointed afterwards but ran okay in a Class 2 at Ascot last time; won't be overly inconvenienced should conditions ease. |

10st 11lb |
Went very close off today's mark on stable debut at Wincanton (3m2f, good) in October, after a layoff, but was well below that form on both subsequent outings and needs to have been refreshed by a three-month break. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 146y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
Tapped back into last season's initial promising form, and then some, to win by 12l in the Edinburgh National at Musselburgh (3m7f, good to soft; from Rock My Way) in February with a first-time visor, which has been kept since; ridden by 7lb claimer when fair third off this 8lb higher mark behind Havaila in the Sussex National at Plumpton 19 days ago but needs to hit new heights again. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 104y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Tapped back into last season's promising form, and then some, to win by 12l in a first-time visor at Musselburgh (3m7f, good to soft; Edinburgh National) in February; has also won on good ground and 2-2 over hurdles here; an 8lb rise may not stop him if the visor maintains its positive effect. |

1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 7f 76y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Cheltenham regular over fences and competitive off slightly higher marks than this last season, never-nearer fifth in the NH Chase when shaping as if he stayed 3m6f; that's not been the case this campaign and although a good deal closer at Ascot last time, he was still only eighth of ten finishers; needs to build markedly on that in new visor, replacing cheekpieces. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Useful, four-time handicap chase winner who scored at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) in January on his first hunter chase start; runner-up on next two outings (3m/2m7f, soft/good to soft); this 11yo needs a bigger run today. |
33/1 |

2nd 2 |
20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Has always been useful; ran in a handicap on debut for this yard and then beat Fil d'Ariane at Ludlow (3m, good to soft); perhaps found soft ground against him when no match for Jeffery's Cross last time and better can be expected. |
6/1 |

2nd 3 |
2nd Mar 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Successful at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) last time on hunter chase debut and second start for new stable, showing he retains plenty of vitality aged 11; this is a weaker race; respected. |

11st 7lb |
11yo who was runner-up at Warwick (3m, good to soft) on New Year's Eve but he's had a heavy defeat and a fall in two subsequent runs; new headgear is now tried but he's hard to predict and has not won since October 2024; down the list. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
11yo who was runner-up at Warwick (3m, good to soft) on New Year's Eve but he's hard to predict and was tailed off at Ludlow (visor added) last time; comes with risks attached and he needs to bounce back again. |
12/1 |

18th Feb 2026 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |

11yo who has an up-and-down profile but finished second at Warwick (3m, good to soft) on New Year's Eve; versatile ground-wise; major player if backing up that good performance with another; wears a first-time visor. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Not quite a year since he won off a 20lb higher mark at Perth (3m, good); insufficient encouragement on last two stasrts, even allowing for the inadequacy of the trip, and hopes rest with the return of the cheekpieces worn for last four wins. |
8/1 |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 104y |
10st 0lb |
Not a great strike rate but on song on latest when readily landing 3m1f Fairyhouse handicap last month in first-time blinkers; raised 12lb for that but still 12lb out of handicap here so plenty on his plate. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 120y |
10st 0lb |
Promise here on seasonal reappearance; failed to build on that on next four starts but signs of a revival when staying on for a 9.5l fourth back here (3m, heavy) on latest; blinkers could eke out more but he's 7lb wrong and looks up against it. |

22nd Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 5f 44y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Seven chase wins, including one over C&D in 2020 and four during Nick Littmoden's spell in France; behind Planned Paradise and well beaten on last month's British return at Cheltenham but that run came after a layoff and the return to this track will suit. |

16th Nov 2024 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 3 |

Trained in France by Nick Littmoden; untested at the trip but he has an impressive 7-21 strike-rate over fences and was runner-up at Auteuil (2m6f) in May when last seen; doesn't look to be overburdened in terms of his mark now back in Britain and James King is a good booking; interesting. |

4th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 3m 1f 125y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Shaped well on seasonal debut at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) in October and was very respectable fifth at Cheltenham (3m1f, good) later that month; didn't fire when back at Cheltenham 18 days ago but this race is less competitive and he's on a good mark. |

Won this in 2021 and he hasn't run badly on his two starts this autumn, latest when 14l fifth of 18 over C&D (good); however, he needs a bigger performance today if he's to snap an 11-race losing sequence. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Kept on well for second in Ludlow hunter chase (3m, good to soft) in April and will be suited by the forecast good ground here but this veteran is no longer the force of old and has become inconsistent. |

Bounced back to form and won soft-ground marathons at Banger (3m5f) and Hexham (4m) in February/March; pulled up (lame) in early stages at Plumpton last time but has made the frame in the last two editions of this race (both on good ground) and can make his presence felt again. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 104y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Exploited a reduced mark to win at Bangor (3m5f, soft) in February and again had plenty in hand at Hexham (4m, soft) 12 days ago; this is a hotter race than last time and this 10yo is up 10lb, but he's clearly in rude health and could be bang there once more; handles any ground. |
7/1 |

1st 6 |
25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 7f 199y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Exploited a reduced mark to win readily at Bangor (extended 3m5f, soft) four weeks ago; on last season's evidence a 9lb rise is unlikely to stop him if he can back up that latest performance; high on the list. |
