Useful 2m form for Charlie Longsdon in autumn 2024, including on this course, but his season ended badly; off to a good start for new yard when runner-up at Haydock (2m4f, soft; first-time cheekpieces, retained) last month but there's not much common ground between that run and what will be needed today. |

11st 9lb |
Made a winning return at Carlisle (2m) in October 2024 but his form nosedived later in the season, pulled up in the Topham at Aintree last spring on his final run for Charlie Longsdon; since changed hands for £20,000 and he needs to hit the ground running for his new yard after ten months off. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 164y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Chase record is 5-11, the most recent win at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last spring; seen only twice since but ran well in a notable handicap at Plumpton (2m1f) the latest time; possibilities at the weights, provided he stays the new trip. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 219y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Made it 5-9 over fences with convincing win at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last May; pulled up on sole run since, at Ascot in December, but the good to soft ground may not have suited; second in this last year; could go well. |

12st 0lb |
Chase career commenced with a four-timer last spring/summer; subsequently lost his form until running well, beating all bar a similarly useful stablemate, in major handicap at Plumpton (2m1f, good) last time; possibilities, provided he's as effective back up in trip. |

7th Jun 2023 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Musselburgh winner on stable/hurdle debut but didn't really build on that in two subsequent novices; handicap debut and interesting to see how he fares in the betting against stablemate Valentino Dancer. |

29th Apr 2023 Good 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Useful Flat-racer; created pretty good impression on stable/hurdle debut at Musselburgh (1m7f, good) in February but has been held in two subsequent novice hurdles (both on good to soft) and will need to up his game to win a race this competitive on his handicap hurdle debut; tongue-tie added. |

23rd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
Took big step back in right direction when fifth at Aintree (3m1f, good to soft) last month, in race he won the previous two seasons; still on a workable mark and has a fighting chance here if first-time cheekpieces have any positive effect. |
9/4 |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
11st 9lb |
Has failed to show his form in both outings this term but a revival looks highly likely back at Aintree on return from four-month break; 2-2 over fences at this venue, namely wins in this race for the last two years (good/good to soft); had a similar prep when winning by 5l off just 1lb lower 12 months ago; commands respect in the hat-trick attempt. |

16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |

Absent since a respectable hurdles effort (on stable debut) 15 months ago; quite interesting switched to chasing, having gained sole success in a point; market may offer further guidance. |

7th Oct 2024 Soft 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Just a respectable fifth at Ludlow (2m5f, good; only run for Fergal O'Brien) in May and now 0-6 over hurdles but, having changed hands for £4,000, it will be interesting to see what Robbie Llewellyn can do with him; tongue-tie removed after one use. |

12th May 2024 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |

1-5 in Irish points and 0-5 (modest form) for Tom Lacey over hurdles, having run over 2m2f and 3m1f in his two handicaps; last seen in November; makes debut for new yard following wind surgery (tongue-tie added too) and he might yet turn a corner. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |

Three-time C&D winner, including this race last year (good ground); probably won't be favoured by any rain but didn't run badly in Class 2 event at Worcester (2m4f, good to soft) in September on latest outing and is sure to be suited by the return to this track; high on the list. |

0-10 on the Flat but had some fair form for two previous stables; four defeats over hurdles for this one have earned her a low mark; stable sprung a 50-1 surprise in this 12 months ago. |
