22nd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
C&D winner whose last win came at Ffos Las in January 2023; lightly raced since, one of her best runs when second in a mares' handicap at Huntingdon last time (2m7f, soft); stable in better form now; good chance. |
7/2 |

Dual soft-ground winner either side of Christmas 2022-23 (3m1f, 3m2f); limited form in just three starts in the past three years, though might just have gone closer but for losing a shoe latest. |

30th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Runner-up at Southwell last April but a long way below that level on his three runs since and this 11yo's sole win came back in November 2023. |
20/1 |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Very inconsistent 10yo who sometimes races lazily and is never easy to predict; comes here fresh and on career-low mark but has presumably been overlooked by Sean Bowen today and cannot be supported with much confidence; versatile ground-wise. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 6f 136y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Generally in much better form last March-October than in his three starts this winter; no impact in his four races beyond 3m2f and the bottom line seems to be that he last won a race in April 2023. |
20/1 |

3rd 4 |
9th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Chance if bringing his 'A' game but he hasn't on last two outings when tailed off at Fakenham (3m5f) and Fontwell (3m2f; both on soft); risky. |
25/1 |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 3m 2f 54y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Running well since the spring, most recently second of four at Fontwell (3m2f, good to soft) in first-time visor last month; will probably find others too strong in this deeper race, though; usual cheekpieces refitted. |

31st Jan 2023 Soft 3m 1f 60y Class 5 |

No closer than 11l in three runs this season and his strike-rate of 1-43 is offputting; the win came in France. |

8th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Difficult to quantify her form in two points this winter; debatable whether she retains peak ability aged 12 but the return to Exeter is a plus, being 2-3 over C&D; those two wins came off higher marks in March 2022. |
10/1 |

17th May 2023 Soft 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |

Latest three efforts have been a return to some form but this thorough stayer has always looked best at Exeter on genuinely soft ground; could be in the shake-up if conditions don't dry too much. |

28th Apr 2023 Good 3m 2f 54y Class 5 |

Last season's form was much better; third over 3m at Exeter (scene of her only two wins under rules) one month ago and not disgraced at Fontwell nine days later; considered each-way. |

11st 2lb |
Only win under rules came over 3m at Fakenham (good to soft) where she also didn't run too badly in a stronger race a month ago (2m5f, good); jumping can be an issue but she has a competitive show in her at this level. |

Placed twice since reverting to fences in November, latterly when keeping on to snatch modest third at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) last month, but might find this race too competitive. |

25th Feb 2023 Good 3m 2f 54y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Capable staying jumper at this level two years ago but he missed 20 months and few signs of life as yet for this yard; first-time tongue-tie/visor replace cheekpieces but he has lots to prove at present. |

Won over hurdles and fences for Warren Greatrex during 2020-21 season but he's struggled on both starts since returning from a long absence and it's difficult to gauge his current ability. |

Fell in two of his first three chases but ran big race in defeat when close/clear second at Taunton (3m2f, good to soft) in between and may still have potential; can't be ruled out. |

31st Jan 2023 Soft 3m 1f 60y Class 5 |

Perhaps travelled a bit too well for his own good when beaten narrowly on his second chase start at Taunton (3m2f, good to soft), finishing clear of the remainder; an 8lb rise seems harsh but he's considered nonetheless. |

10st 2lb |
Lightly raced Irish maiden point winner formerly with Henry De Bromhead; unseated on her first run after wind surgery (and stable debut) but she ran a solid race behind a comfortable winner back at Lingfield (2m6f, heavy) last time; shouldn't be far away in new cheekpieces. |

21st Dec 2022 Soft 2m 6f 10y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Lightly raced Irish maiden point winner formerly with Henry De Bromhead; just her second run for this yard, and the first after wind surgery, when unseating between three and two out here 16 days ago in the race dominated by Ramore Will and Echo Watt; she was going well at the time so needs considering. |
