18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Veteran who returned from a break with two good-ground wins (2m/2m3f) in June/July; gave another solid account when fourth at Bangor (2m3f, good) last month but he didn't fire at Plumpton last time and others are more persuasive. |

11st 12lb |
Resurgent veteran who returned from a break with two good-ground wins in June/July (2m/2m3f); gave another good account when fourth at Bangor (2m3f, good) this month but may find younger rivals better handicapped here. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |

Veteran who was well below par last time; solid record (112) otherwise this term includes a C&D win (good) in July; may rebound, albeit has more on his plate off current mark. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Safely held when fourth over fences at Fontwell (2m2f, good) this month but that was his first run since November (also his first after a wind op); reverts to hurdling on mark just 2lb higher then when winning this race by 14l on good ground a year ago; must be considered. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Sole success came when wide-margin winner over hurdles at Fakenham just under one year ago but he's finished runner-up on 12 occasions, including five times in succession over fences between September and November; had wind surgery after heavy defeat over hurdles at Windsor over five months ago; market might guide on this return. |
9/1 |

2nd 4 |
20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Won over hurdles at Fakenham (2m4f, good) in June and was runner-up in two chases last month, latterly behind King Of The Story at Warwick (2m4f, good); also ran well back over hurdles at Fakenham on Friday, but the forecast rain is a worry. |

11st 4lb |
Both wins in Ireland, a 7f AW handicap and a maiden hurdle on good; up and down in ten runs for this yard but was bang there in the latest at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to soft); hard to rule out. |

Belied 50-1 odds when very respectable fourth over C&D (good) 11 days ago and is 1lb lower now but her record in Britain is very mixed and others in this line-up are more persuasive. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won over C&D in June (good to soft) and runner-up to Rory's Story in his only subsequent chase start; however, he was very disappointing over hurdles here on Saturday. |
14/1 |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Latest chase win on this track (2m1f, good to soft; several wins on good) in June; creditable hurdle run the time before but below best in this sphere subsequently, including over C&D latest; needs revival. |
8/1 |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Six-time chase winner, who won here (2m1f, good to soft) in June and was runner-up back at this track on Saturday; his hurdling defeat at Uttoxeter on penultimate run was in an unsatisfactory race (most flights omitted) and he's not ruled out back in this sphere. |

10th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Suited by good ground; proved resurgent when last seen five months ago, enhancing a strong C&D record that also features wins (off 2lb lower) in this race in 2023 and 2025 (faller in 2024); very solid claims kept to this scenario. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Hurdle win in May (2m, good); poor form on the Flat since August, failing to progress for handicaps on last two starts; should benefit from the step up in trip and he has run well on soft going over hurdles; risky but there are grounds for expecting better dropped in class. |

Absent since December but that was a good run at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) and he has competitive form here on good ground; one to consider. |

8th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |

Ended a long losing sequence in 2m4f handicap here eight days ago; scored comfortably so he's not taken lightly under a 7lb penalty. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |

Has caught the eye a couple of times recently, but isn't proving easy to win with despite a declining mark; needs first-time blinkers to make a difference. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |

On a long losing spell but has shaped encouragingly in two AW outings this year and remains on a workable mark; effective on turf and difficult to dismiss. |

3rd 4 (6) |
26th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
It's now 12 starts since his last victory but he got back on track in first-time cheekpieces when fourth of eight in 1m2f Lingfield handicap last month; headgear is dispensed with now but he still needs considering eased 1lb. |
