2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Three-time C&D winner, including this race last year (good ground); probably won't be favoured by any rain but didn't run badly in Class 2 event at Worcester (2m4f, good to soft) in September on latest outing and is sure to be suited by the return to this track; high on the list. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Course winner over hurdles; returned from long absence with low-key hurdle run last month but is now 1lb lower than when scoring on chase debut in May 2024; contender if that recent outing brought him on. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Has three wins over fences but after finishing last of four at Hereford last month, he exploited a lower hurdles mark when successful at Wincanton (1m7f, good) 12 days ago; needs to use that momentum back over the larger obstacles. |
9/2 |

1st 1 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Better known as a chaser now but was third in a better race than this when reverting to hurdles at Warwick (2m, heavy; also suited by good) last month, and subsequent 32l defeat over fences came in a good-quality contest; must be considered. |
3/1 |

4th 4 |
7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Seven wins in all, most recently at Market Rasen and Ludlow this time last year; didn't shape too badly over hurdles at Warwick (jumped right) last time, and this return to fences on a right-handed track should suit him; not ruled out. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Hit prolonged flat spots before keeping on for modest fourth over 2m on latest two appearances, the latest at Warwick this month; on a good mark now and this step back up in trip could be the right move but it remains to be seen whether Jack Quinlan can keep him in touch this time. |
4/1 |

4th 6 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Only 1-9 over fences but runner-up four times; seems best at Doncaster but on a fair mark and he's able when fresh; Cobden booked. |
9/2 |
|
4th 4 |
2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Probably best known for his exploits at Doncaster; won in good style there (2m, good) in February but has fitness to prove after 220-day break and his record at this track is not good. |

9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 12y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
A three-time 2m chase winner last season but he's offered precious little this term, tried in blinkers when pulled up on his last two runs at Ludlow and Exeter either side of Christmas; his mark is plummeting but it's still easy to look elsewhere. |
14/1 |

9th 5 |
2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
3-8 over fences, the latest win gained gamely from the front at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) in March; ended last season with two lesser efforts, though, and current mark probably demands a career best. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Point runner-up and maiden hurdle winner but has disappointed in three chase starts this winter, pulling up at Sedgefield with cheekpieces added eight weeks ago; blinkers are tried now. |

4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 77y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Point runner-up and maiden hurdle winner for whom things could click over fences at some point; well beaten on first two chase starts and hopes are pinned on the first-time cheekpieces giving him a boost. |
7/1 |

7th 6 |
2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Won Fontwell maiden hurdle (2m1f, good) in March and was not beaten far when eighth of 22 in Punchestown festival handicap in May; however, his record over hurdles was very mixed and he's a bit of a character (ran out in consecutive races last autumn); had wind op in spring; comes with risk attached on chasing debut. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Landed his third success over fences at Ludlow (2m, good) last month after his challenger fell at the last obstacle; up 7lb but still on the upgrade and should not be far away. |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 212y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
1-1 here, that win coming over C&D (good; 18-1) in November on his penultimate start; not beaten far when fourth of six at Doncaster (also about 2m, good to soft) the following month and he's another who is firmly in calculations. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
2-6 over fences this season, the wins gained at Huntingdon (2m, good) and Musselburgh (2m, good to soft); gave another good account when close third of five at Ascot (2m1f, good) last month and should be fine on this left-handed track; good chance. |
2/1 |

3rd 2 |
29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 172y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Two wins and as many seconds in his completed starts over fences; put in his place off this mark at Kempton (2m2f, good) two weeks ago but the winner is in a good place at the minute; unlikely to be far away. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 6 |
14th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Two wins and a second to show from his completed starts over fences; got up late at Musselburgh (good to soft) last time in a style which suggests there could be more to come now racing beyond around 2m for the first time over fences; leading claims for last year's winning yard. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Resumed winning ways over fences at Stratford (2m1f) in March but below par both runs since, beating just one in 2m4f Warwick handicap chase last month; needs to take a big step forward back in this sphere. |
14/1 |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Landed his fourth win over fences at Stratford in March (2m1f, soft) but his Huntingdon third was remote and some inconsistency has crept in. |
10/1 |

3rd 4 |
4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Back to his best after a three-month break when landing his fourth win over fences at Stratford (2m1f, soft) last month; up 5lb but recorded back-to-back victories around this time last year so not to be taken lightly. |
