27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Ended 2025 with two wins at Southwell (3m, soft/good to soft), looking in particularly good nick on latter occasion; struggled from just out of the weights in last week's Surrey National at Lingfield but enters calculations in this easier race. |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 4f 178y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Ended 2025 with two wins at Southwell (3m, soft/good to soft); contests this much stronger race from 3lb out of the weights but he looked in particularly good nick on his latest outing and this trip should be fine. |

The last of six chase wins was at Southwell (3m2f, good to soft) in March; very mixed since then and wouldn't be the percentage call. |

5th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Third on chasing debut at Wetherby on Boxing Day and quickly put a mishap behind him when second at Uttoxeter (also 3m, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) last month, form that has already been boosted by the winner; respected. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
11th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 1lb |
Point and hurdle winner; not beaten far when third of 13 on chasing debut at Wetherby (3m, good to soft) in December, and the fourth and fifth have won since; unseated his rider early when favourite at Southwell two weeks ago; now wears cheekpieces; far more persuasive than most of these. |
2/1 |

29th Jan 2023 Good 3m 1f 185y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won a 2m4f handicap hurdle here (good to soft) off just 1lb lower last season and performed to a similar level afterwards; not beaten far into third on last month's chase debut (3m, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) and entitled to build on that first start in eight months. |

Defied a 12lb higher mark in 2020 for previous stable; best efforts for new yard when solid second over C&D in September/October; could well go one better, provided he takes to new headgear. |

Veteran who ran respectably behind a couple of younger rivals at Southwell (3m, heavy) last month; however, it's three years since his sole success; not the percentage call. |

11th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |

25-race maiden; seems on the downgrade but he's tumbled in the weights and was a long way out of the handicap on his most recent outing; conditions fine and not discounted despite unpromising form figures. |

Stays well and several creditable efforts to his name but a maiden after 23 starts and was tailed off at Chepstow last month, on return from a long absence; others more appealing. |

His second at Plumpton (3m1f, good) was encouraging but not his following effort there and he's now 0-11. |

23rd Apr 2023 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |

Not much to shout about this winter but his second over C&D (good) on his penultimate start was more encouraging; pulled up on soft ground back here 13 days ago; wait for the elusive first win may continue. |

Captured this prize in 2021 but seems not so good nowadays and returned with a well-held third of five in 2m4f handicap here last month; others are more persuasive. |

3rd 7 |
6th Oct 2023 Soft 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |

On a dangerous mark and perhaps he'll have been helped by a break, but he was badly out of form earlier this year and returns with plenty to prove. |

14th Apr 2023 Soft 3m 2f 202y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Point winner whose sole success under rules came at Hexham (3m, good to soft) in 2021 when 7lb lower; acts here and on soft; form has tailed off of late but would have claims from this mark if reproducing his Wetherby effort from January. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Grand veteran with eight wins over hurdles, including two over C&D last summer; down to his last winning mark and should be sharper for his fifth at Hereford last month following a five-month layoff, but you have to think that one of his younger rivals should have his measure. |
12/1 |

16th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Registered a four-timer last April-June (3m1f/2m7f, good/good to soft); very in and out since and he's now a 13yo but he finished on the heels of the principals off today's mark at Warwick in November when last seen; more to prove after the break. |
4/1 |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 3m 1f 5y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Secured the second leg of a four-timer with wide-margin win over C&D (good) in May; now just 2lb above his last winning mark but generally well beaten since (the exception in a four-runner race) and he was tailed off last time; others look more likely. |

Old-timer; managed two wins last spring/summer and ran respectably when third over this C&D (good to soft) in October; had little chance from 7lb out of the handicap at Warwick last time; each-way possibilities. |

11st 13lb |
Won three chases in the spring (2m4f-3m) and has posted some good efforts in defeat since; he simply didn't jump well enough when upped to 3m6f four weeks ago but he can bounce back if he gets into a better rhythm here. |
