14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
10yo whose 13-race losing sequence goes back to December 2023 but he's run some good races in the meantime (including on soft), most recently staying on for a neck second in the Peter Marsh here (extended 3m1f, good to soft); on that evidence he's well worth a crack at a marathon trip. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 125y Class 1 |
10st 3lb |
Ran really well when third in this last year (soft) and kept on for second at Aintree (2m4f, soft) last month, albeit no match for the winner; this 10yo has a good record here and, now 8lb lower than 12 months ago, he could be involved back up in trip. |

25th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 92y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Made a pleasing return from 322-day absence when second at Wetherby (1m7f, soft) and good ground was perhaps too lively when disappointing behind Not Available at Chepstow in a race he'd won the previous season; the more rain the better and he comes into it. |

25th Feb 2023 Good 2m 0f 11y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Won this race on heavy ground last year and made pleasing return from 322-day absence when second at Wetherby (1m7f, soft) last month; should be okay on today's faster ground and is still on a workable mark. |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Won this 12 months ago on his reappearance when 4lb lower and then finished a 2l second to Primoz at Wetherby, the form of which could be reversed on these more favourable terms; consistent and should have every chance. |

23rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Has consistent form figures and should give his running but this 10yo may have to settle for a supporting role off top weight; returns to fences after two runs over hurdles. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Regressive 11yo; returned from layoff with two disappointing runs in February and absent for another 101 days since but will be favoured by the forecast rain here and is too well handicapped to rule out. |

1st Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
High-class hurdler in his prime but it's now over three years since his latest win; ended last season with some very respectable efforts and resumes on a tempting mark but younger rivals appeal more all the same; swaps blinkers for refitted cheekpieces. |

27th Nov 2023 Good 2m 4f 110y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Both wins last season came over hurdles, including Chepstow contest on final outing; hasn't won over fences since 2020 and current mark reflects a general decline in his form; very well handicapped on his useful best. |
7/1 |

15th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Very useful chaser at his best; very much on the downgrade now and was tailed off at Haydock last month but was able to exploit his novice hurdle status in three-runner contest at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) two starts ago and ought to play a leading role here. |
11/10 |
|
6th 4 |
22nd Mar 2023 Soft 2m 0f 67y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
No win since 2020 as a chaser and he's not been firing on all cylinders this season; won latest start but that came when 8-13 in a three-runner novice hurdle; acts on soft, unraced on heavy; down the weights (14lb lower than this time last year) but has questions to answer. |
13/2 |
