18th Oct 2026 Good 3m 5f 48y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Retains plenty of vitality despite his advancing years; prevailed by 1l at Cartmel (3m1f) most recently, registering his 16th win; has form figures of 134 in this race, beaten a long way 12 months ago; returns off 8lb lower but some of his younger rivals may hold sway. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Popular veteran who runs this track well and capitalised upon some significant help from the handicapper when winning Norfolk National at Fakenham (3m5f, good) in May; back up in trip after very respectable fourth over hurdles here (2m6f, good) last month, and won't object to the forecast rain (won this race on heavy ground in 2024); must be considered. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Popular veteran who runs this track well and capitalised upon some significant help from the handicapper when winning Norfolk National at Fakenham (3m5f, good) in May; this drop back in trip is not ideal on his return to hurdling, though; cheekpieces (worn for last three races) left off today. |

11st 11lb |
Late-blooming teenager who won posted career-best performance when scoring by 25l over C&D (good to soft) last season; ought to have coped better with the heavy ground when running poorly at Fontwell last month but today's much quicker conditions will suit; can't be ruled out. |

Late-blooming teenager who won posted career-best performance when scoring by 25l at Chepstow (3m2f, good to soft) last season and was runner-up in Southern National here (3m3f, heavy) in November; ran well for a long way in Lingfield marathon last month and drops in grade today; good chance. |

21st Mar 2024 Soft 3m 6f 130y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Enhanced his excellent record at Lingfield when comfortably winning the Surrey National (3m5f, soft) in January; placed again there next time (well held) before having a rare spin over hurdles 16 days ago (beaten 27l off lower mark in that discipline); tailed off in a Welsh National on only previous visit here but entitled to be thereabouts. |

5th Mar 2024 Heavy 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Enhanced his excellent record on the chase track here when comfortably winning the Sussex National (3m5f, soft) in January and again placed on his return visit after a 9lb rise; rated 11lb lower over hurdles and he's a better horse now than when last seen in this discipline. |

13th Feb 2024 Soft 3m 4f 178y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Won five from six chases on this track, the one defeat coming when runner-up in this last year on good ground which may have been faster than ideal; went into his shell after but took advantage of a generous mark in no uncertain fashion over C&D 23 days ago (soft; first completion in blinkers); back up 9lb but still 3lb lower than last February; solid chance. |

11st 3lb |
Closely matched with Everything'sontick who beat him by a neck at Plumpton two runs back (3m1f, soft) when both would have been beaten had the leader stood up at the last; well beaten last time but was badly hampered; visor replaces cheekpieces; not out of it. |

12st 2lb |
Scored over C&D (good to soft) in 2022 and was placed in Norfolk National over C&D (good) in May; disappointed on both appearances last month but returns here on a good mark and is sure to appreciate the ease in grade. |
