6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Best at about 2m4f and he's looked to have stamina limitations in the majority of his runs beyond that trip; below his latest winning mark, last May, but he's failed to complete in two of his last three runs since back chasing and some reservations remain. |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Unseated rider when returned to chasing in January and has suffered a heavy defeat since; on a workable mark and suited by this C&D/slow ground but has some questions to answer. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Landed the odds in three-runner chase at Plumpton (about 2m3f, good; acts on soft/heavy) in May; solid hurdles second under Osian Radford in December and still on the premises when blundering that rider away over fences (also Ludlow, 3m, good to soft) last month; drops back down in trip; respected. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Wincanton specialist who kept on for second there (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago in first-time cheekpieces (retained); he's run well here in the past but needs to prove his stamina, having faded over 3m1f at Wincanton in December. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Gained all three chase wins over C&D, the latest off today's mark on seasonal debut in December (good to soft); has suffered a slump in form this winter, though, and has questions to answer now; tongue-tie added. |
10/1 |

5th 1 |
14th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Made it 3-7 over fences with narrow win on his C&D reappearance (good to soft) in December; only 1lb higher here but he's been disappointing since that last success and was pulled up at Exeter (first-time blinkers) last time; regular cheekpieces are now reapplied but he needs to get back in track. |

27th Jul 2023 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Tailed off at Fontwell last month (favourite), which takes some forgiving; won at the same track on previous outing and soft ground also no hardship so enters the argument if he can leave behind the latest flop. |
3/1 |

16th Jun 2023 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |

Two of his three wins have come here, the latest when finishing well to collar Tara Iti over C&D 19 days ago; little between the pair again and can be expected to be played late; chances. |

12st 0lb |
Six chase wins, the latest here (1m7f, heavy) under Rian Corcoran 19 days ago; still on workable mark after recent 5lb rise and will be fine over today's longer trip but the faster ground is probably not in his favour. |
9/2 |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Five-time chase winner who relishes testing ground; runner-up in his first two starts this season including a close call at Exeter (2m1f, good to soft), but his form cooled at Hereford last time; needs to step up again after that but he remains well treated on his old form. |

Well-backed and was running quite well when unseating on his chase debut at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) in December 2021; off for 511 days since but Sean Bowen has a good record for the stable (a win and two seconds from three starts) and worth a market check. |

Placed off 1lb higher at Catterick (3m1f, soft) in January but the rest of last season's form was disappointing and this is first start since February; others have much stronger claims. |

Runner-up in a Punchestown bumper (2m4f, heavy) in March 2021 and returned from a year off to beat two rivals on stable/hurdles debut over this C&D (good to soft); another lengthy absence after that and pulled up in both handicaps since returning in January (eyeshield first occasion); lots to prove. |

Twice raced; second in Irish bumper then joined current connections for £130,000; went one better in weak novice hurdle at Ffos Las (2m4f, good to soft) last March; eyeshield now applied; still very unexposed and looks interesting on return from another layoff. |

Ploughed through the heavy ground when winning at Hexham in December (3m; from an 8lb lower mark); arguably that wasn't the strongest of races though, and he was never travelling when pulled up at Taunton subsequently; some work to do in these newly applied cheekpieces. |

29th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |

C&D winner who is prone to the odd lesser effort but he has a healthy strike-rate in handicaps at 2m7f+ and made light of heavy ground at Hexham in December (2m7f); up 8lb but still respected. |

Two wins for Laura Young, the latest off this mark at Wincanton (2m5f, good) in March last year, but pulled up on stable debut there (2m4f, good to soft) in March this year after 321 days off; needs to leave that effort well behind with first-time cheekpieces now given a go. |
