25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 164y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Chase record is 5-11, the most recent win at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last spring; seen only twice since but ran well in a notable handicap at Plumpton (2m1f) the latest time; possibilities at the weights, provided he stays the new trip. |

2nd 2 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 219y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Made it 5-9 over fences with convincing win at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last May; pulled up on sole run since, at Ascot in December, but the good to soft ground may not have suited; second in this last year; could go well. |

Chase career commenced with a four-timer last spring/summer; subsequently lost his form until running well, beating all bar a similarly useful stablemate, in major handicap at Plumpton (2m1f, good) last time; possibilities, provided he's as effective back up in trip. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Ran rather flat in a good Sandown handicap last time but won a Class 2 the time before at Cheltenham (3m, good to soft), his fourth win over hurdles; once had the pace for this trip but may need further now ideally, so will do well to lower the colours of Mirabad. |

31st Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 103y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Second and first in handicaps in 2024 on his only two starts at this track, with the win on soft ground (runner-up early on in a heavy-ground bumper); won his second start (3m, soft) last season and the same happened this term, when he battled on well at Cheltenham (3m, good to soft) in December despite wandering; up 5lb but respected. |

12st 2lb |
Won four times over hurdles last season (2m7f-3m) but chasing didn't go to plan in the autumn and he was soundly beaten when back over hurdles on Boxing Day; needs to get career back on track. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 208y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
In excellent form in the spring, completing hat-trick with ready success in series final at Haydock (3m) in April before going very close in another competitive handicap over that C&D (also on good) in May; obvious contender if in similar nick after 168-day break. |
16/1 |

2nd 4 |
10th May 2025 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Ended last season in excellent form, completing a hat-trick with a ready C&D success (good; Thank You Ma'am second) in a quite valuable series final three weeks ago; last two wins were under today's claiming rider Callum Pritchard; probably still on the upgrade; good chance. |

Pick of her beaten handicap form rates a step up on that shown when victorious in a Doncaster novice previously (16.5f, good to soft), though can't say she's anything much in hand of her mark now. |

Off the mark at the 13th attempt under rules at Wincanton (2m4f, good) in March, but finished a well-held fourth of seven at Taunton (3m, good to firm) last month; return to this trip should suit and one for the shortlist. |

Has not gone on since making a winning debut in a bumper at Wetherby in 2021; last of five in first-time blinkers (retained here) at Fontwell (3m2f, heavy) in March and needs to show more. |

1-11 over hurdles; returned from break with a quite encouraging fourth at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) last month and subsequent run may be best overlooked (pulled up after losing action in early stages) but others appeal more all the same. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Sole hurdle win was in a Taunton novice (2m, good to firm) in November 2024; generally struggled last year but she reappeared with an encouraging fourth at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) this month; should get a decent tow into this race and has each-way claims if she can build on that last run. |
14/1 |

4th 11 |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Has made little impact since switched to handicaps and, though well supported at Taunton (2m, good) in January, failed to justify the money, struggling a long way out and eventually pulling up; off since and now 14lb lower than her opening mark but can only be watched at present. |
