29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 58y |
11st 11lb |
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. |
8/1 |

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. |
16/1 |

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. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
10yo who returned to form with good second of five at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) four weeks ago; he's never gone beyond an extended 2m1f over fences but won at 2m4f over hurdles; possible player if the trip is okay. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 214y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Never really got competitive at Haydock last month (race in which Sunnyvilla went close) but is now 2lb lower than when very creditable fifth in competitive Cheltenham handicap (2m, soft) on seasonal debut in November; suited by this track; big player if quickly back on song. |

2nd May 2025 Good 4m 0f 97y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Fairly useful under rules for Nicky Henderson in 2023 and was evidently suited by the thorough stamina test when winning open point at Kingston Blount (4m, soft) in February; slightly disappointing when only third behind Norton Hill and Assassins Lullaby on good ground in March, though. |

Low-mileage 7yo; ran big race in defeat on chasing debut at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft) in November but two very disappointing performances have followed; needs to get career back on track. |

29th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 78y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Point/hurdle winner who built upon his chase debut fifth when third of six at Newbury (2m, good to soft) four weeks ago in a race that is working out well; in top hands and could take another step forward today, provided conditions suit (unraced on soft/heavy). |

3rd 5 |
1st Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 92y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Point/hurdle winner; weakened into well-held fifth at Kempton (2m4f, good) on chase/seasonal debut but may do better with that outing under his belt and dropped back in trip (worth another go at 2m). |

2nd Mar 2025 Good 2m 3f 31y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Point runner-up who won a novice hurdle here (2m3f, good) in March 2023; however, he struggled on his two chase starts in late 2023 and it's been the same story over hurdles this winter, following an absence. |
14/1 |

12th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Well beaten in two chases in his only races last season and no show when he reverted to hurdling last month after a 406-day absence; hard to latch on to unless he's been strong in the market. |
