15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
It's been a struggle in some competitive handicaps but he ran well enough here at the National meeting (behind Ike Sport) to merit some attention; others still preferred. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 12lb |
Landed a notable handicap at Chepstow (2m3f, good; off just 1lb lower) in the autumn; not in anything like the same form since, always behind at the Cheltenham Festival (2m5f) most recently; other preferred. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
Landed a notable prize at Chepstow (near 2m4f, good; 3lb higher today) in October but failed to show his form in his three starts since; Sean Bowen rides him for the first time since Chepstow; he'd still be a surprise winner. |

A dual winner (at about 3m) last April but he's not been seen since coming in a well-held third of five in 3m2f handicap chase at Newton Abbot ten months ago; he needs to hit the ground running. |

3rd Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Off for nearly a year before pulling up on chase debut (jumped poorly) and when reverting to hurdles in March but subsequent efforts back on good ground yielded two wins at around this trip and he didn't run badly off this mark when third in May; needs to cut out the mistakes reverting to fences but interesting back from a break. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 104y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Easy win at Wincanton (3m2f, heavy) in January and bounced back from Haydock flop to win at Exeter (3m6f, good) recently, despite a bad mistake; clearly on the up and his stable has won two of the last six runnings. |
9/2 |

1st 3 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Tended to jump left on last two outings but that didn't stop him beating recent Midlands Grand National winner Isaac Des Obeaux by 21l at right-handed Wincanton (3m2f, heavy; first-time tongue-tie) on first occasion; pulled up in valuable Haydock marathon since but will be fine on the forecast good ground here and is a contender if back on song. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
Running well in defeat this season, including over an extended 3m4f, before producing a career-best in a first-time tongue-tie to win easily at Wincanton (extended 3m2f, heavy); hit with a 9lb rise but he was impressive last time and could have more to offer in the tongue-tie; respected. |

9th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Four-time hurdle winner who made it 0-5 over fences when running no race at Uttoxeter in December; that was on heavy ground but he went well in the mud in 2023 and 2024, and is well handicapped if he can get his act together over fences. |
8/1 |

6th 5 |
25th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
In great form over hurdles last winter with four wins at up to 3m2f; has been generally disappointing since last success though, and was pulled up over fences at Leicester (2m6f, soft) in February; still unexposed in this sphere but he needs to bounce back after another break. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Several good efforts in defeat since 3m2f win at Fontwell (good) in June 2024, although his form did dip over C&D last time out; versatile regarding the ground and can be competitive on the earlier runs. |
5/1 |

24th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Generally consistent 9yo who has found one too good on his last four starts, including when turned over at short odds latest; still 7lb above last summer's win and, while he should be thereabouts again, he'll likely prove vulnerable to less-exposed rivals for the win. |
5/1 |

2nd 3 |
26th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Largely consistent 9yo who lost out only by a head in first-time visor at Fontwell (3m2f, good) 19 days ago and again ran well when second over C&D (good) on Tuesday; Chad Bament looks excellent value for his 8lb claim against other conditional riders today; major player. |

3rd Apr 2025 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Dual hurdle winner last season (once over C&D) but was pulled up on reappearance outing in October and has largely been disappointing over fences since (five starts); seems very versatile regarding ground but reverts to hurdling with quite a bit to prove; swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers. |

10st 2lb |
Won here over 2m1f (good) and an extended 2m3f (good to firm) last summer; subsequently lost his form in three runs; hard to gauge how he will run after a layoff but he would come into this if back on song. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |

Won at Stratford over 2m1f (good) in June and an extended 2m3f (good to firm) in July; ran better than the margin suggests at Worcester in August; suffered a seriously heavy defeat back at Stratford last time, however, while soft ground would raise a further concern. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |

Has emerged from a spell in the wilderness this season and is on a hat-trick after two wins at Stratford (2m1f/2m3f); up another 5lb since last time but must be considered in current form. |

26th Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

3-6 over fences, the latest win gained at Kempton (2m4f, soft; made all) in February; needs to return from seven-month break in prime form to have any chance off current mark but the forecast good ground won't be a problem. |
