12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Third in the Ultima here (3m1f, soft) in March 2023; this 10yo has run respectably in the Welsh National (3m6f, good to soft) and Haydock Grand National Trial (3m4f, good to soft) on his last two starts and is now below his last winning mark; not discounted with blinkers replacing cheekpieces. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 1 |
11st 11lb |
10yo who won at Uttoxeter (3m, soft) last February and returned to form when fifth of 17 in the Welsh National at Chepstow (3m6f, good to soft) in December, when 7l and two places behind Deafening Silence; now back down to last winning mark and might not be far away. |

26th Apr 2025 Good 3m 4f 146y Class 1 |
10st 5lb |
Dictated the pace for a Uttoxeter win (3m, soft; 3lb higher today) in February with second-time cheekpieces (kept since) in a less demanding race than he's often appeared in; 13l fourth in the Welsh National (near 3m7f, soft) was respectable but he did not spark in the big one at Aintree three weeks ago and good ground would give him more to prove. |

2nd 2 |
14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Veteran who has looked as good as ever for his new stable this season, winning twice (2m5f/3m1f); probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark but reverts to chasing after a respectable hurdle run and is suited by this C&D. |
3/1 |
|
5th 10 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
12yo who has been better than ever over fences this season following a stable switch, with wins at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) and Catterick (3m1f, good to soft); this is a rare run over hurdles but he has a lower mark in this sphere, in which he scored twice in 2020; likes it here; one to consider. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 7 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Won this in 2024 (soft) and he's been better than ever this season following a stable switch, with wins at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) and Catterick (3m1f, good to soft; last time); back up to a career-high mark and he's back up in grade but he could yet have more to offer for this yard; respected. |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Front-runner who ended last year with an emphatic success in the Borders National at Kelso (4m, soft); looks interesting on that form but he's been pulled up in three subsequent runs and needs a major revival after another break; reapplied cheekpieces replace blinkers. |

14th Nov 2023 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Looked as good as ever when beating Special Acceptance to win Haydock veterans' chase (3m1f, good to soft) in April but has become unreliable and was under pressure before unseating rider at third-last fence at Perth in September; not an easy one to predict. |

11th Sep 2023 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Recorded his third chase win when scoring at Haydock (3m1f, good to soft) in April but he's not easy to predict and was pulled up behind Saint Arvans over C&D last time; was reported to have had an irregular heartbeat in a post-race examination and he needs to bounce back after a short break. |

8th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won two in a row in early 2020 (2m3f/2m6f, heavy/soft) and it was his first run since when a staying-on second at Wetherby (2m3f, heavy) this March; however, this 11yo was well beaten when falling four out at Wetherby (3m, good to soft) in October and he's hard to fancy on the back of that. |

He's well handicapped on last season's best efforts but this 10yo hasn't been able to threaten this term and has a poor 1-22 strike-rate. |

14th Mar 2023 Soft 3m 2f 202y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Returned from a spell in the doldrums when, dropped in class, he won a 14-runner handicap at Carlisle (3m, soft) last month; back up in grade here off 5lb higher mark but has to be respected if in the same mood. |
