8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Didn't run badly when fifth of seven here (2m5f, good to soft; usual headgear removed) 12 days ago and has become well handicapped but this season has been largely disappointing and he's not yet proven over this far. |

27th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |

Three-time winner but arrives here in no sort of form and the new blinkers (replacing usual cheekpieces) did nothing for him two weeks ago; now goes in no headgear; risky. |

Always tended to be all or nothing but has often run well on soft; risks involved now, having been pulled up on his last two starts, but he's capable of popping up, switched from cheekpieces to first-time blinkers under in-form Rian Corcoran. |

21st Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Flat maiden who has won twice over hurdles, back-to-back good-ground 2m handicaps in 2022; needed to run better back over jumps at Worcester (2m4f, good) to be backed with any confidence here. |

1st Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Struck twice over hurdles (2m, good) in the second half of 2022 and he showed he stays this far when second of 13 at Kempton last spring; might have needed a run on the Flat two months ago after nearly a year off; not ruled out but others have more obvious claims. |

Lowly rated maiden on the Flat in 2022 but struck twice over hurdles later that year and in reasonable form when last seen in that sphere just under a year ago; betting perhaps the best guide after his lay-off. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won three chases for Ollie Murphy, two of them three-runner races over C&D; yet to win for current yard but he was a creditable third at Stratford (2m5f, good) when last seen in October; all wins on good ground. |
10/1 |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won on good ground at Southwell (2m4f) and Uttoxeter (2m5f) in final two runs for Olly Murphy; no impact in four starts for current yard but he wasn't beaten far in a Class 2 at Bangor (3m) last time and is now back on last winning mark; could be dangerous with Sean Bowen booked on this drop back in trip and grade. |

Yet to make any further progress since winning at Doncaster (2m3f, good) in January but gave very good account before fading into fifth at Kempton (2m5f, good; first-time tongue-tie) ten days ago and has each-way claims at least if in similar form here. |

22nd Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 114y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Dual hurdle winner (once here); seemingly back in good nick when runner-up at Fontwell (2m3f, good) in June, his second run after a break, but disappointed there last month and needs a boost from the first-time cheekpieces today; probably best suited by good/good to soft ground. |

Absent since safely held in valuable 3m1f handicap in April but won over 2m4f at Wincanton (good) two starts ago and can cope with this drop back to 2m; has good record when fresh and features prominently in calculations; visor refitted. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Justified favouritism at Wincanton (2m4f, good) last time, recording a first win over hurdles since 2023; fairly consistent and looks worth a crack at this new trip so may remain competitive; whether he can follow up is a different matter. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 3 |

Not quite in peak form this season but has still made the frame in some good-quality contests, most recently when close fourth of 15 at Ascot (2m3f, good to soft) last month; in calmer waters here and will be suited by the faster ground; leading claims. |

Found only the prolific Grace A Vous Enki too good in the Lady Dudley Cup classic at Chaddesley Corbett last time (3m2f), having won two opens over shorter immediately before (all on good); first-fence casualty when last seen in a hunter chase, but generally a safe conveyance nowadays. |

Belated first career win last November opened the floodgates, as three more point wins and (last time) a slowly run Huntingdon hunter chase (beat Coolagh Park and Dr Lockdown) have followed; goes on all track types and has his going again, but likely career best required. |

All six of her wins came on turf, the last three over 1m6f; she hasn't won since September 2023, however, and was beaten 22l over C&D (good) on her reappearance in May; will need to have derived plenty of benefit from that. |

Four-time course winner; no longer the force of old as a 12yo but proved he retains a significant chunk of ability and ran well from the front when second at Kempton (2m5f, good) a fortnight ago; ought to handle today's slower ground reasonably well; no surprise if he's in the mix again. |

Ran well both starts here (C&D) but now a 12yo whose best form was in 2020 and May/June 2021; long absence before this season and latest start (2m4f chase) was a step back in the right direction but now he needs another. |

Ended last year in excellent form over fences, with latest fourth coming behind the seriously progressive Thistle Ask; whereas he's 5-18 in that discipline and only 1-13 over hurdles, he's probably a better horse now than when last seen in this discipline; 5lb lower than his chase mark; front runs. |

Front-runner who can be tough to reel in on his day and has left his rivals trailing in completing a hat-trick in small fields at about 2m4f (latest in a match); has gone up a collective 20lb but he loves this good ground and looks sure to make a bold bid. |
