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. |

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 |

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. |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
In-form 10yo who won over hurdles here (2m4f, soft) in November and over fences at Ffos Las (2m3f, heavy) last month; 6lb rise has now kicked in but she ran another solid race at Huntingdon last week and she remains well treated on old form; should go well again back over fences. |
7/2 |
|
4th 6 |
5th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
In-form 10yo; successful in two of her last three starts, latest at Ffos Las (2m3f, heavy) when returned to fences last week; stays 3m1f and has a leading chance off same mark; due to go up 6lb in future. |
4/1 |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |

23rd May 2023 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Not one to rely upon heavily but won off today's mark at Taunton (2m2f, good) in December and didn't run badly at Ludlow (2m) this month; looks well worth a crack at today's trip and is capable of a bold show. |

9th May 2023 Good 1m 7f 212y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Opened his account on yard debut in 2m2f Taunton handicap chase in December but he's been hit and miss since and was pulled up at Fontwell (2m2f) last time; he needs to bounce back. |

19th Jul 2023 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
14-race maiden who has threatened a breakthrough win but doesn't appear to be improving; beaten 12l in the new visor last time at Worcester (2m4f) and this longer trip isn't sure to benefit. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
28th Jun 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Maiden; runner-up four times over hurdles and similar efforts in two chase attempts at Huntingdon at the end of last month; visor probably needs to provoke some improvement if he's to win this; often well backed. |

Maiden under rules; hasn't achieved much in four chases since joining this stable and also 5lb out of the handicap. |

6th Jun 2023 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Soundly beaten in all three starts for new stable this year and now 0-9 under rules; 1lb wrong here and clearly needs to do much better. |

23rd May 2023 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |

Left Charlie Longsdon after disappointing chasing debut in November and didn't fire on either start for new stable towards end of last season; needs to turn a corner. |

2nd Jul 2023 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Similar profile to African Sun, having gained sole success over C&D last July; far from certain to repeat that form, having achieved little (over fences/hurdles) this year. |
25/1 |
|
6th 8 |
8th Jun 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won a 2m handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter last summer (effectively off this mark) and he ran some fair races over fences in the latter part of 2022; he hasn't gone with much enthusiasm in two runs this spring though and reverts to hurdling with something to prove. |
12/1 |
|
8th 7 |
23rd May 2023 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won over hurdles last summer (2m, good) and was second on chase debut at Plumpton (2m3f, good) in September but dropped out tamely at Plumpton last month, after a break, and needs to prove his wellbeing here. |
