22nd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
No win since November 2023, but conditions suit and he comes into the reckoning following his good second at Chepstow nine days ago (2m7f, soft). |
7/2 |

2nd 11 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Well handicapped on old form and will be suited by today's trip/ground but was pulled up at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) last month, after a layoff, and needs to have taken significant benefit from that outing. |
14/1 |

2nd 2 |
10th May 2025 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Three-time chase winner who should be well handicapped and ran his best race for a while when second at Carlisle in February (3m, good to soft); has handled good ground in the past and should go well as his Herefordshire yard's only runner on the card. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Lightly raced 11yo who isn't particularly solid, having failed to complete in three of his last four appearances; it remains a long time since his sole chase win; however, drops in grade off an attractive mark on best form. |
10/1 |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Well handicapped on old form but he's not seen much action in recent years and has been pulled up or tailed off in his last three runs; this is only second start for current yard but he needs a major revival after another wind operation; cheekpieces added. |
25/1 |

5th 10 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 5f 142y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Well handicapped on old form but has pulled up the last twice on the back of long absences; new trainer fits a tongue-tie. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Dual winner over fences at Doncaster on good; yet to win over hurdles and this is his first run in this sphere since March 2023; possibly better for this race before a summer campaign over fences. |

28th Jan 2024 Good 2m 3f 31y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Placed in his first two chases (on soft) and looked much more assured over the fences when drawing 19l clear at Doncaster (3m2f, good) in December to register his first win; not disgraced at Newcastle on latest outing but this is quite a rethink over his trip and he also has cheekpieces (tried on final start last term, pulled up) reinstated. |

13th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 7f 199y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Has won over 3m2f on soft at Kelso; sound reappearance run when third at Ayr in October (3m, good to soft); rather disappointing since; fell in this race two years ago; has a bit to prove. |

3rd Feb 2025 Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 5 |

Chase record is 2-22; regressive this season but this drop back to Class 5 may prompt a turnaround; won at Ayr on last attempt in this grade. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Won from the front in first-time visor (kept since) at Doncaster in December; back to form when second at Newbury on latest start, his second run after his second wind operation; has a competitive mark but his inconsistency and going beyond 3m2f both introduce doubts. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 7 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Not easy to predict but he's only 2lb higher than when making all at Doncaster (3m, good) just after Christmas, and he probably went off too fast when beaten 33l there (3m2f, soft) three weeks ago; not discounted. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 10 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 1y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Physical issues came to light after disappointing in a cross-country race last time; wore just a tongue-tie then but the visor that worked so well when a 3l winner here the time before now returns, as does Charlie Maggs with his claim; however, he has become hard to predict and underwent further wind surgery only recently. |

4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |

Winning hurdler/chaser on heavy ground; has shown some fair form in points, but was well beaten last time and faces a stiffer task here. |

22nd Mar 2024 Heavy 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Battled on well to win small-field Catterick chase (3m1f, heavy) off today's mark in January but looked out of sorts on both subsequent starts over fences; swaps blinkers for first-time visor on this first hurdling start since 2021; others look much less risky. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Did well in cheekpieces last year, winning at Worcester (2m7f, good) in May and Aintree (3m, good) in October; not so good behind Super Survivor here (good to soft) in December but a return to form today looks possible for in-form yard; place hopes. |

26th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 149y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Won at Worcester (2m7f, good) in May in first-time cheekpieces (retained since); midfield at Market Rasen next time then runner-up back at Worcester (2m7f, good), albeit no match for the unexposed winner; also effective on soft/good to soft ground; might not be far away. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Sound performances since having wind surgery and wearing cheekpieces, winning over C&D (good) in May then creditable fifth at Market Rasen; solid chance in the retained headgear. |

24th Feb 2024 Heavy 4m 1f 56y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
The new visor (kept since, replacing cheekpieces) worked a treat when he won at Kelso (3m2f, heavy) over Christmas for the second year running; he hasn't sparked that often in the last two years, though, showing little on latest outing; beaten just over 20l when sixth and fifth in the last two Eiders, so others look more solid. |

24th Jan 2024 Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
The new visor worked a treat when winning a 3m2f handicap at Kelso (heavy) over Christmas for the second year running; 4lb rise won't prevent another bold show if he's as good again (not guaranteed). |

11st 11lb |
Got on a roll last winter when completing a hat-trick (3m/3m3f) before a respectable, albeit remote, second in the Eider at Newcastle (4m1f, good to soft); this race is a suitable fit but he now has to prove himself worthy of this high a mark. |
