25th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Good-ground specialist with 11 chase wins on his CV, including 2025 edition of this race; shaped well before weakening into fourth at Bangor (2m1f, good) this month, after a layoff, and can make a bold bid from the front under Sean Bowen. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Good-ground specialist who made all in small field at Wetherby (1m7f, good) on latest outing in the autumn, his 11th chase success; won when fresh last spring but is slightly out of the weights here and may find younger rivals better handicapped. |
5/1 |

15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 36y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Ten-time chase winner, mainly on good ground; pulled up soon after mid-race jumping error last time but won at Cartmel (2m1f, good to soft) in the spring and was a creditable second at Uttoxeter (2m, good) two starts ago; can make his presence felt. |

10st 11lb |
Veteran; has won five chases from 2m-2m4f on good/good to soft; good third at Hexham in August but two heavy defeats since; on last winning mark; could bounce back. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 210y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
12yo; won at Hexham (2m4f, good) in June and third there in August (2m4f, good); mistakes may have been costly when tailed off at Kelso (2m5f, good) latest and he's not written off, but others are more compelling. |

13th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Multiple winner who is usually held up; he's not won for ages and Newton Abbot last time was disappointing, but his previous seconds (including here) bring him firmly into the equation. |
7/1 |

24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Quirky veteran who is usually ridden very patiently; without a win since September 2022 and not the force of old but has posted three good efforts since returning from a break in April and is very well suited by this track. |
7/2 |

31st May 2025 Good 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Lightly raced over last couple of years and no longer the force of old but has made the frame twice on good ground at Fontwell (2m3f/2m2f) this spring and is also suited by this C&D; usually ridden very patiently; no surprise if he features. |

31st Oct 2024 Good 2m 0f 190y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Has won five chases at up to 2m3f but rather disappointing on last three starts (cheekpieces tried last time, but left off here); well treated on his best form but bit to prove back over hurdles. |

11th Sep 2024 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Five-time chase winner; needs to better his recent efforts but has conditions to suit here and has slipped to a very tempting mark; could be very dangerous if perked up by first-time cheekpieces. |

22nd Oct 2023 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Habitual front-runner who gained six of his 11 chase wins here, most recently when fending off Jay Jay Reilly over today's trip in May (good ground; now 2lb lower); getting long in the tooth now and has questions to answer after some disappointing runs during the summer but it won't be a big surprise if he gives this a good shot. |

21st Aug 2023 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Dangerous front-runner on his day, especially at Kempton where he's won six times; can go left-handed but he needs to bounce back from some below-par efforts. |

23rd Jul 2023 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Dangerous front-runner on his day, especially at Kempton where he's won six times; can go left-handed but his last couple of runs weren't his best and he now has to bounce back. |
