6th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Veteran; has won nine chases, often making all in small fields on good ground; hasn't been quite at his best since Uttoxeter win last July (2m4f, good) but has plenty going for him here. |

Returned to winning ways at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last summer and remained competitive afterwards; however, he has since turned 12 and lacking a run might not be ideal. |

11yo who returned to winning ways at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in July and has run pretty well in third on his next two outings (3m/3m1f, good); might not be far away. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Progressive for Emma Lavelle last term, winning this off today's mark and backing it up with solid placed efforts; however, he's struggled for this yard (early unseat in Kerry National, pulled up at Chepstow and tailed off at Cheltenham when last seen in October) and now has something to prove. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Five-time winner over fences but got no further than the first in the Kerry National on stable debut and didn't run much of a race at Chepstow two weeks ago; this is a tough race in which to bounce back. |

Got no further than the first in the recent Kerry National at Listowel; has won five times over fences and was mostly consistent for Emma Lavelle earlier this year; wouldn't be that well handicapped but entitled to have a say. |

His third win over hurdles when a 3l winner over C&D last May (good to firm; won on soft); lost his way a little afterwards but could be better for a break and James Smith takes away a useful 7lb. |

7th Sep 2023 Good 3m 1f 185y Class 4 |

Launched chasing career with two fairly respectable runs on soft ground this summer (3m2f/2m7f); needs to take a step forward today but is now 2lb lower than when winning a fast-ground hurdle in May and may benefit from the addition of cheekpieces; interesting. |

11st 4lb |
Ran quite well in the Pertemps Final and then runner-up in a big field handicap here in April (2m4f, good to soft; in this new headgear combination), improving on his fifth place the previous season; also ran second to Fingal's Hill in this 12 months ago; has nothing in hand off his mark but every chance of being involved. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Ran respectably in this race 12 months ago (fifth off 3lb higher) and Cheltenham Festival handicap (3m) latest start; otherwise an exposed 8yo who is on a two-year losing spell; unlikely to come out on top. |

Last won in April 2024; well beaten in the 2m5f handicap here last March; second to Absolutely Doyen at Wincanton (3m, good to soft) at Christmas was best effort this term; ran creditably in the Lanzarote at Kempton (2m5f) next time, before a modest show at Plumpton latest; others look more solid. |

Sole win over hurdles at this track in July 2022 but unraced in this discipline since pulling up last October (only effort over this distance); fit from the Flat, a market watch is advised. |

Hasn't won in more than two years and needs to bounce back from a quiet run over hurdles three weeks ago; is a deal lower in the weights than for a couple of runs over C&D last winter but may be on the downgrade and wants a good test over this trip. |

11th Nov 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Consistent over hurdles and on the Flat this year; holds no secrets from the handicapper but last month's Wincanton fourth (2m5f, good) was perfectly respectable and she'll be fine over today's shorter trip; probably won't be far away. |

11st 10lb |
Low-mileage 7yo who won twice in novice company (once over C&D) in early part of last season; well beaten in both subsequent handicaps, the latter in July after a layoff/wind op, but has a tongue-tie fitted here and may yet get back on track. |

Not the force of old but seemed to have benefited from a wind op when close second at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July and didn't run as badly as 28l defeat might suggest at Perth (2m4f, good) last time, having made a mid-race jumping error; drops back in trip with cheekpieces added here. |

Not the force of old and the step back up in trip isn't sure to suit; however, after a wind op he returned to form with a close second off his reduced mark at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July, and is entitled to respect. |
