25th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Gained his sixth win over fences, at Southwell (2m, good) when making all in June off 8lb lower; looked to be found out by the weight rise when third of four at Newton Abbot (2m, good) last month, and although this track may play to his strengths he has never won off such a high mark; first-time blinkers replace visor. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Dictated pace when scoring at Southwell (2m) in June but came in a well-held third of four off 9lb higher mark in 2m handicap chase at Newton Abbot three weeks ago; needs to bounce back. |

Goes particularly well at Southwell where he won again by 15l a month ago (2m, good), making all; he was granted a soft lead there and has gone up 9lb. |

Has returned from a summer break in good form, gaining second win on the Flat this year when scoring over 1m6f here last week; 4lb penalty; sound chance in a modest event back at 1m4f. |

Versatile mare who has yet to win on the AW but has won over hurdles/fences/a bumper and on turf Flat; sound run when runner-up to an easy winner over C&D last time (first three well clear); interesting contender. |

19th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 78y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Pulled up just over two months ago when back from a long absence and needs to prove how much ability he retains; however, he shaped pretty well for a fair way on that latest start and he was a highly progressive novice chaser in the 2022-23 campaign; no surprise if he has a big say today. |
9/2 |

14th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 78y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Highly progressive novice chaser in 2022-23 season; absent since falling in April of that season but he's on a good mark if retaining his ability and his trainer's horses often run well fresh; interesting contender. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Revitalised veteran who came second over C&D last month and scored at Worcester (2m, also good) 12 days ago; recent 4lb rise does look excessive but the forecast rain is probably not in his favour. |
3/1 |
|
1st 10 |
19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Four-time chase winner who has made the frame on all four starts since returning from a break in May, most recently when second at Cartmel (2m1f, good) last month; has his limitations and is not getting any younger but ought to give another good account. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 8 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Four-time chase winner who bounced back with a close second at Uttoxeter (2m, good) 11 days ago; 3lb higher here but he remains well treated on old form and all of his wins have been under Brian Hughes; key player. |

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. |
