25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Didn't jump well enough when well beaten in Kempton Grade 2 novice in February last time but had doubled his chasing tally with ready success at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks earlier, and will be dangerous if back in similar form. |
7/2 |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
5-9 over jumps; posted a personal best when winning novice handicap at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago, seeing off several challengers from four out; goes well with positive tactics; should be involved again. |

1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 3 |

Form dipped last time (unable to lead) but otherwise a largely progressive sort; penultimate effort has been boosted by the winner since; may well rebound, especially if he returns to dominating (all wins from the front); shortlisted. |

11st 8lb |
Lightly raced 7yo who was an encouraging second on his chase and seasonal debut over C&D (good to soft) in December, albeit no match for the winner Theonlywayiswessex; disappointing at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) since but perhaps the first-time cheekpieces will prompt a return to form. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 201y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Soundly beaten when just 17-2 at last year's Festival (2m4f); finally opened his chase account in November, before staying-on fifth in major handicap at Newbury (3m2f, good to soft) where he was badly hindered at the unsatisfactory start; 13l win at Sandown (3m, soft; made most) on latest outing confirmed he's got his act together, which earned a 7lb rise but he needs respect. |

31st Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 42y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Opened his chase account on reappearance, then did well to finish fifth in major handicap at Newbury (3m2f, good to soft) having badly hindered at the unsatisfactory start; lost chance with bad mistake four out when beaten favourite at Ascot since; remains of interest, assuming he puts in an error-free round. |
9/2 |

1st 2 |
2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Has the best hurdles form in this field and his good efforts (twice runner-up) over fences last season were even better; however, he was below form in first-time cheekpieces on penultimate outing and failed to complete on starts either side, the latest 11 days ago; that dents his case today (in returning cheekpieces) but he is the standout on form. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 40y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Made a winning chasing debut at Newton Abbot (2m5f) in May; failed to stay 3m1f when fourth there subsequently but shaped encouragingly reverted to hurdles after seven months off when third in 2m2f Exeter handicap 18 days ago; merits serious consideration back in this sphere. |

3rd 8 |
6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 111y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Has switched to fences this term, winning in May but regressing in two summer starts; only 1-18 over hurdles and she has never won away from Newton Abbot. |
12/1 |

21st Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Battled on from unlikely position to score by 8l here (2m5f, good) on chasing debut in May, an eventful race in which the clear leader fell two out, but it's wise to treat that piece of form with a degree of caution; only fourth of six at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last time; tries a new trip today. |

30th Mar 2025 Good 2m 5f 141y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper winner and two hurdle victories include a 2m handicap on good ground; latest Kempton run (2m5f, good to soft) hinted at some stamina limitations over this far but that was a competitive race and today's forecast drier ground should be favourable; every chance. |
5/2 |

17th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Lightly raced 6yo who showed improved form when making all by 8l on his reappearance in a handicap at Market Rasen (2m, good) three months ago; has also run well on soft ground; has received a 10lb hike for last time and he's up in grade today, but he may well take it in his stride. |

Eight-race maiden who has been pulled up at big prices in both his handicaps (2m/2m1f); has lots to prove after another absence and can only be watched; equipment removed. |

0-7; has shown a tendency to race freely and never got involved under patient tactics last time at Stratford (2m, good), ultimately pulling up; others appeal a lot more. |

22nd Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 114y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Looked beaten when falling on chasing debut in July but ran quite well when fourth over hurdles at Fontwell (2m3f, good) two starts ago and remains lightly raced; could have a say, even from 3lb out of the weights. |

8th Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Unexposed 6yo; well beaten on handicap debut in May but last month's fourth at Fontwell (2m3f, good) was much more encouraging, and further progress is possible on this chasing debut; 3lb wrong. |

Showed only glimmers of promise in three novice/maiden hurdles (2m-2m1f) during the winter and finished a well-held seventh of 12 on last month's handicap debut here (2m5f, good); down 4lb and back in trip but hard to warm to. |
