29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 58y |

Out of luck since winning this race last year; only 3lb higher now, and has to be taken seriously; Rian Corcoran has enjoyed a successful breakthrough season in Britain and claims a useful 4lb. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Has three wins over hurdles but hasn't been at his best in four runs since returning in November; is slipping down the weights and takes a drop in class so cannot be discounted; returning cheekpieces replace blinkers. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Blew apart a 15-runner Pertemps qualifier at Chepstow (2m7f) in February 2023 and underlined how effective he can be in big-field races when seeing off 24 rivals in a handicap at the Punchestown festival (2m3f, yielding) last spring; hasn't come close to reproducing that form in three outings this winter but his mark has eased a little as a result; worth a second look in the betting. |

25th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 80y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Ended last season in good form, winning at Hereford (3m1f, soft) before good second at Haydock (3m1f, good); ran well (over hurdles) on only previous visit to Cartmel and has possibilities if this new trip suits; refused to line up and withdrawn at Aintree recently (8-1 at the time). |

15th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 210y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Went up 5lb for winning a Class 4 at Hereford (3m1f, soft) and raised another 1lb for his second in a better race at Haydock (3m1f, good), finishing just ahead of Jacks Parrot; this 11yo is thriving and entitled to play a part in the finish. |

Put everything together when winning at Hereford (3m1f, soft) six weeks ago under a positive ride from Toby McCain-Mitchell; not discounted but he's up 5lb and this is a stronger race. |

27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Not one to rely upon heavily and doesn't always look wildly enthusiastic but didn't run badly when fourth at Uttoxeter (3m heavy) last month and this track suits him well; on a good mark; can't be ruled out. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 3m 1f 60y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Best run during a fairly light campaign last season when second to progressive rival at Lingfield (2m7f, heavy) in February; contender if judged on that and Sean Bowen is booked today but this 10yo has not been seen since a lesser effort in March and he's too inconsistent to rely upon. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 5lb |
One of several who are now in the veteran stage but also in the form of their lives; 7l winner at Haydock (extended 3m1f) in November and returned there with an excellent, rallying second in the Grand National Trial (extended 3m4f, again good to soft) in February; ridden last three starts by Toby McCain-Mitchell; back up 2lb and an interesting prospect for 4m2f but this is a much stronger race. |
50/1 |

2nd 1 |
14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
10yo who posted a career-best performance with comfortable win here (extended 3m1f, good to soft) in November, and he's also won on soft ground; not written off after just one below-par run but he was well held in the Tommy Whittle here in December and has to leave that effort miles behind. |

21st Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 3 |

Took very well to fences last season, winning three times over 3m (good to soft-soft), but returned with two disappointing runs in the autumn; needs to get back on track and will have something to prove if the ground stays good (unraced on anything quicker than good to soft). |

15th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 118y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Lightly raced 9yo who's had mixed form and no win in handicaps, but he was third in a valuable race at Sandown (2m7f, good to soft) last February off today's mark; having another go at fences may explain a lesser show two months ago on his only appearance since. |

16th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 164y Class 3 |

Lightly raced 8yo with flashes of good form to his name over hurdles, last time finishing third in a strong Sandown handicap in February (2m7f, good to soft); made mistakes when a well-held third in his previous chase two years ago but can be given another chance. |

High-class staying chase form includes a close second in the 2024 Scottish National but he fell in that race last year and hasn't shown a glimmer of his old ability over hurdles or fences since; lots to prove. |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 4f 178y Class 3 |

Very useful marathon chaser on his day but looked out of sorts in three hurdle races towards end of last year; given another wind operation (his third) since; well handicapped but reverts to chasing with lots to prove. |

Lightly raced 9yo; seemingly back in good form when fourth over fences here (2m7f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) in December but looked badly out of sorts in a chase three weeks ago and it's hard to know what to expect from him in first-time blinkers on this return to hurdling. |

2nd Feb 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 3 |

Returned from a long absence in November and has made costly mistakes on both comeback runs; however, there was some promise in his fourth at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) last time and he has obvious potential to improve on that form if jumping better; could go well for top yard. |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Triple hurdle winner who is 3-9 over fences but he's been pulled up in last three runs and latest was over C&D (heavy) two weeks ago; that was after a lengthy absence but he's now an 11yo and he needs a big turnaround. |
12/1 |

29th Jan 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 30y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Record of 3-8 as a chaser but confined to just three races last season and wasn't anywhere near his best (including when pulled up behind Collectors Item); now an 11yo so perhaps asking a bit much for him to rediscover his peak form; has won on heavy. |

21st Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 3 |

3-7 over fences; ran well when third (albeit well held in the end) in valuable Haydock handicap (3m1f, soft) on seasonal debut in November but was pulled up when last in action and the forecast good ground may not be ideal for him here. |

5th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Flat winner in France and hurdles/chase winner (including twice on soft) for Willie Mullins in Ireland; the blinkers were enlisted on second run for new yard when fair fifth of 12 at Kempton (2m, AW) four weeks ago, so he has something to build on. |

Flat, hurdles and chase winner who picked up three points (all 3m on a sound surface) by a combined 38l last spring; fair fourth in Cartmel hunter chase in May but his comeback at Bangor's point course wasn't laden with promise 11 days ago; first start at this trip since finishing second over hurdles in 2022. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |

Inconsistent 10yo who was well beaten when back over fences in May (2m6f), then unsuited by the drop back to 2m on his most recent start at Newton Abbot last month when a well-held third of six; on a good mark if the mood takes him now back up to a more suitable test. |

21st Mar 2024 Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Runs off a mark fully 10lb lower than when winning over hurdles at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft) in January 2023; however, he's been a long way below that level this season over fences and the first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) need to prompt major improvement. |

Two small-field wins this term, latterly in first-time cheekpieces which have been kept since; rallied since for third at Uttoxeter (soft) and second at Doncaster (good), leaving the strong impression over 3m2f last time that he has stamina reserves; up 2lb but makes each-way appeal. |
