24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Better known as a chaser nowadays, but won twice over hurdles over four years ago; no real promise back hurdling six weeks ago but had wind surgery since and his stable is enjoying a cracking spring. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Better known as a chaser nowadays, but won twice over hurdles over four years ago; not the force of old but is 5lb lower over hurdles compared to his chase mark; vulnerable to anything progressive. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 3 |
12st 2lb |
A smart winning chaser at his peak but not at his best this term, only fifth of six in 2m Windsor handicap chase 27 days ago; his mark is falling but this veteran still looks vulnerable conceding weight all round here. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has won four chases, the latest off 1lb lower at Hexham last June (1m7f, good); good second following a break at Newcastle last time (2m4f, good); should go well again. |
5/1 |

2nd 6 |
11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 19y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Won off this mark at Hexham (2m, good; in added blinkers) last June; that was in a lower-grade contest (Class 4) and his productivity ebbed away thereafter (0-5; hurdles and fences); bit to prove off a 190-day absence; likely to draw benefit from this comeback run. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 44y Class 1 |
10st 6lb |
Useful 2m form for Charlie Longsdon in autumn 2024, including on this course, but his season ended badly; off to a good start for new yard when runner-up at Haydock (2m4f, soft; first-time cheekpieces, retained) last month but there's not much common ground between that run and what will be needed today. |
40/1 |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Made a winning return at Carlisle (2m) in October 2024 but his form nosedived later in the season, pulled up in the Topham at Aintree last spring on his final run for Charlie Longsdon; since changed hands for £20,000 and he needs to hit the ground running for his new yard after ten months off. |

25th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Last of his six wins over hurdles was off a 25lb higher mark at Musselburgh in January 2024 (2m4f, soft); mainly disappointing since then, including when tried over fences; best watched for now. |

14th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
One-time very useful handicapper; nothing like as good these days and has finished last on last two starts, latest a four-runner C&D handicap last month; very well handicapped (dropped a further 4lb for his run last time so now 22lb below last winning mark); plenty to prove at present. |

14th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Needs to produce more than he's managed this season on his first three chase starts, but Musselburgh last time was a sizeable step in the right direction and he could continue to get better over fences; won here twice over hurdles and he's well treated on his form in that sphere; not ruled out. |

18th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won Irish point earlier in career but his four rules wins have come over hurdles and although he had a stiff task on chase debut at Carlisle he showed no enthusiasm when pulled up early at Kelso in November (first-time cheekpieces, discarded now); risky. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Continues to hurtle down the weights but latest 13l defeat at Perth was another unconvincing run. |
14/1 |

4th 5 |
22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Won four of his first five completed starts over fences (2023/24) but just one success since, a Newton Abbot handicap, and he wasn't finishing his races off last year; 185-day break may have helped but this forecast soft ground raises further doubts. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Defied higher marks twice last term and commenced current campaign with a creditable effort; not in the same form since, hence dropping in weights; needs a revival. |

19th Oct 2023 Good 1m 7f 207y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Two wins towards the end of last year from first three hurdle starts (2m/2m4f, good to soft) and went very close on handicap debut at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) in April when last seen; Lucinda Russell excels with chasers and this soft-ground point runner-up could improve now tackling fences. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
27th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Highly tried the last twice in Grade 2s and kept digging to finish third at Kelso (2m2f, good to soft) most recently and that's strong form, with the front two not disgraced in the Grade 1 Tolworth earlier this season and the fourth winning a Grade 1 novice chase at Punchestown on Tuesday; looks well handicapped and returning to this longer trip is very much in his favour. |
