6th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Course winner; a lot of his form is over shorter but he proved his stamina for 3m when runner-up at Ffos Las two weeks ago (good); unlikely to be far away off the same mark. |

2nd 10 |
21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Produced a remarkable late surge to snatch what had looked an unlikely victory at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft; blinkers removed) last month but this inconsistent 9yo tends to race lazily nowadays and got going too late when back at Fontwell a fortnight ago; other are much less risky. |

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. |

15th Dec 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 72y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Nothing like the force of old but is effective on heavy ground and was clearcut winner off today's mark at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) in April; needs to bounce back from last month's low-key reappearance run but still enters calculations. |
8/1 |

12th 2 |
21st Nov 2023 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Nothing like the force of old but won off much-reduced mark at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) in April; not seen since a lesser effort in May but ran well when fresh at this time last year; a possible. |
10/1 |

9th May 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
C&D winner who regained winning form in returning cheekpieces at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) last month, though he may have been fortunate to do so (only danger fell two out); 3lb higher, but the return to this trip is probably a plus and he holds frame claims at least. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Easily defied a 7lb rise for his Exeter win when strolling clear at Ascot (2m5f, good), albeit in a race that completely fell apart in behind; unlikely that this will be so straightforward off 8lb higher but arrives with his tail up. |
13/8 |

1st 3 |
29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 13y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Consistent 10yo; he beat only two other finishers at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft; fine on good) and his pursuers appeared to underperform; however, the 7lb rise shouldn't be too damaging given he's performed well off similar figures in the past; solid contender. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 48y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Ran respectably at Taunton last time and remains a consistent sort; scored off 1lb higher, beating Bonza Boy, on most recent attempt at Exeter (13 months ago); solid chance. |

Still to get his head in front this term and he made mistakes when trailing in last of eight in 2m5f Hereford handicap chase 20 days ago; others appeal more. |

Won this last year (good to soft) and has run well in defeat on two of his last three starts, most recently at Huntingdon (2m7f, soft) this month; he's a strong candidate today. |

8th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Ex-Irish 8yo who is lightly raced and returned to form in a reapplied tongue-tie (retained) when runner-up at Fontwell (2m2f, soft) on Boxing Day on his second start for this yard; cheekpieces are added here and he may be able to post a first win. |

2nd Dec 2022 Good To Soft 1m 7f 119y Class 3 |

Point winner; 0-7 under rules in Ireland for Mouse Morris and Henry De Bromhead, close second in beginners' chase at Downpatrick (2m3f, soft) last autumn but unplaced when odds-on over hurdles there in the summer; changed hands for £10,500 in September; needs to get back on track for new yard. |
