12st 0lb |
Ended last season with two soft-ground wins at Huntingdon (2m4f) and will be fine on the quicker surface here but has been out of form this term (four starts) and needs to turn things around. |

Took this event 12 months ago but he's offered little in three outings this season, beating only one back over C&D last month; has something to prove. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 65y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Five course wins (2m3f-2m5f), always when making all or ridden prominently; well beaten over C&D last month, having been held up towards the rear, but that was his first run since April and he's now on a very good mark. |
7/1 |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 65y Class 5 |

Five-time course winner, all on ground softer than good; not at his best since finishing third over C&D on Boxing Day (good to soft); back from a break; needs rain. |

8th Jun 2023 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Has done the bulk of his recent racing at Huntingdon, winning chases over near 3m and 2m4f last year; didn't run badly on ground slower than ideal in April; contender, for all there may be stronger stayers lurking. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 5 |
16th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Last six runs have been here, winning two of them (this trip/2m7f); not really threatened off this mark the last twice and good ground seems the key to him. |
8/1 |
|
6th 3 |
26th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Off the mark with an easy win over C&D in April and he returned from his summer break to win a three-runner handicap over 2m4f here in October; made mistakes when second seven weeks ago; shouldn't be far away with a clear round. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Multiple chase winner with plenty of form here, including a runner-up finish in first-time blinkers last week over 2m4f (good); has won over this far. |
7/4 |
|
2nd 1 |
19th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Five chase wins, including 2023 edition of this race; pulled up at Fakenham two starts ago but his other three runs this year were very respectable; swaps usual cheekpieces for first-time blinkers; likely to give this a good shot from the front. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
A win and (in this race) a half-length second, each off 2lb lower, to show from two C&D visits (good) last summer; plenty in his favour again once more, though a Fakenham flop latest needs forgiving. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
In fine form over fences and went 3-4 this summer in three-runner handicap at Kelso (2m1f) 15 days ago; has his first run in this sphere since 2022 but scored over C&D then so can't be discounted off a reduced mark. |
4/1 |

1st 1 |
16th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 14y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Made all in a visor at Southwell (2m, good) in June and again had plenty in hand when getting back on the scoresheet in first-time blinkers at Stratford (2m1f, good to firm) last month; the favourite flopped there but this one's been raised only 3lb; the visor returns; has to be respected. |
11/8 |

1st 1 |
25th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Gained his sixth win over fences, at Southwell (2m, good) when making all in June off 8lb lower; looked to be found out by the weight rise when third of four at Newton Abbot (2m, good) last month, and although this track may play to his strengths he has never won off such a high mark; first-time blinkers replace visor. |

10th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Dual course winner in 2022 (2m4f/2m6f) but has regressed and become inconsistent; didn't run badly in selling hurdle on Boxing Day (first-time blinkers) and is versatile regarding ground but younger rivals appeal more. |
10/1 |

4th 3 |
26th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Won two handicap chases in March 2022 (2m4f, good/good to soft); some fair efforts over fences without winning since but below par after a break the last twice (beaten 34l at Hereford ten days ago); new headgear; looks stable second string. |
7/1 |

7th 3 |
16th Dec 2023 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Three-time chase winner who nearly made it four at Huntingdon in May (2m4f, good; first-time cheekpieces); bled when pulled up back there next time; effective in the reapplied cheekpieces and has a big run in him. |

10th May 2023 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Dual winner over hurdles and fences; generally out of sorts since last success (12 months ago) and beaten long way in both runs this spring; needs a big revival back hurdling. |
20/1 |
|

24th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Won by 9l over C&D (good to soft) last May but he's been disappointing since and was tailed off at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) last time; that was after a break but he needs a major revival on this drop back in trip. |
25/1 |

16th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Won by 9l at Hexham (1m7f, good to soft) last May and now 6lb lower after some forgettable performances during the past year; Sam Twiston-Davies is booked but not hard to have reservations. |

25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Reliable veteran who was in good form when last seen, finishing third on his last three runs; won this off 1lb lower last year and he's worth considering back from a break. |
5/2 |

4 |
8th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Just one win from 24 starts but that was by 11l over fences at Hereford (2m, good) in March and he ran into a handicap blot there in final run in the spring; looks interesting off 3lb lower on his return and his win was under Shane Quinlan. |
