Bumper, hurdle and chase winner at up to 2m5f, on good or slower; 6lb lower than his last win but has come close to that form only once in four starts since a lengthy layoff; blinkers go on. |

10st 10lb |
Won two small-field points in the spring and returned to racing under rules with three respectable runs under Osian Radford this summer/autumn; probably won't be far away but others appeal more all the same. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Looked set to finish second before last-fence unseat at Hereford (3m1f, good) in March and bumped into revitalised subsequent winner when second at Fakenham (3m5f, good) last month; went close in 2024 edition of this race on only previous visit to Fontwell; good chance. |

13th Apr 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Soundly beaten in February, after a layoff, but looked set to finish second before last-fence mishap at Hereford (3m1f, good) last month, and this move back up in trip will probably suit (placed over 3m3f last summer). |
3/1 |

10st 11lb |
All three chase wins have come over 3m at Southwell (good/soft) and latest was off 2lb higher last January; well held at Southwell last month but he may have needed that run after six months off and he's a player if he can get back near best. |

23rd Jul 2023 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Without a win since 2019; very consistent for a large part of last year but has been well below par on her last four starts and now goes in blinkers; dangerous to dismiss. |
10/1 |

12th Jun 2023 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Without a win since 2019 and returned from break with low-key run last month but was very consistent in early part of last season and has slipped to a very tempting mark; well worth a second look. |
10/1 |

8th 2 |
12th May 2023 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
No hurdles win since 2019 and mixed record fresh; didn't take to chasing when last seen but resumes 8lb lower than when recording the last of five consecutive place finishes in handicap hurdles last autumn. |

10st 2lb |
His sole success came back in 2021 but he showed more than of late when fifth of 11 in 2m6f Stratford handicap chase three weeks ago; more is required from 5lb out of the handicap however. |

10st 2lb |
Maiden; not much to show for his career so far but had every chance until late on when fifth at Huntingdon in January; pulled up two months later and has since left Richard Spencer for £2,000; worth market check on first start for David Pipe but plenty to prove still. |
