28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Well handicapped on best form for previous yards but needs to stage a revival on debut for Chris Honour; resurgent efforts in January/March have not been built on; sold for £23,000 since last run; market may offer further guidance. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Back with Nicky Henderson last season and showed he retained a chunk of ability on first two starts, latterly when seventh of 24 in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham (3m, good); made the running at Aintree (22-1) four weeks ago but ended pulled up; remains well handicapped on old form but there's been no win since January 2023. |

Back with Nicky Henderson after last season with Laura Morgan; had marks in the 140s at his peak and has shown he still retains a good chunk of that ability in his two outings after a year off, latterly finishing seventh of 24 to Supremely West in the Pertemps at Cheltenham (3m, good). |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
The way he asserted in the Grand National Trial at Haydock (3m4f, good to soft) last February made this race look an appealing proposition, but he faded badly when it was put to the test and later lost the Haydock race due to a banned substance; this season has been very disappointing but at least he's 9lb lower than 12 months ago and his yard has been in great form. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 56y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Very useful handicapper over regulation fences on his day and a very respectable sixth in last year's Ultima (3m1f, good to soft) at this meeting; won't fail through lack of stamina but has been out of form this season and makes cross-country debut from 11lb out of the handicap. |
50/1 |

1st Nov 2025 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Useful over fences, first past the post in the Grand National Trial at Haydock (disqualified due to banned substance) in February and far from disgraced in the Ultima at Cheltenham the following month; having his first hurdles outing since April 2022 here, so carries risks, but he could be dangerous off his lower mark if fully tuned up. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Won from well out of the weights at Ludlow and off only 3lb higher he followed up at the expense of three rivals (3m, good), taking his record there to 3-5; has another 6lb rise to contend with but has won here and has to be taken seriously. |
13/2 |

1st 5 |
10th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Veteran who bounced back with 33-1 success from well out of the weights over C&D (good) most recently, taking Ludlow record to 2-4; just no certainty to follow up, having been inconsistent for a while. |
7/2 |

1st 8 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Won a five-runner handicap at Huntingdon (2m7f, soft) in December but this veteran has struggled in five subsequent runs; has lots to prove and he's a long way out of the weights. |

2nd Mar 2024 Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
A very promising novice hurdler two years ago but lightly raced and disappointing since (including spell over fences); well beaten on both starts for new stable this season; big leap of faith required to support him here. |
20/1 |
|
12th 8 |
15th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 0f 179y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Out of form in his last four outings (spread over a year, last three over fences) for Sam Thomas and tailed off at 22-1 when making the running on reappearance here (2m5f) four weeks ago; unraced over shorter than 2m3f over jumps; lots to prove. |
