23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Resumed winning ways after six months off in 4m1f hunter chase at Warwick (good) 22 days ago; effective over this much shorter trip and this likeable front-runner is not out of things. |

1st May 2026 Good 4m 0f 218y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Highly impressive 26 finishes in the first four (eight of them wins) from 30 rules/pointing runs for the Owens, with stamina proven up to 3m6f; all-the-way hurdles winner over 3m2f here just last autumn (good), and likelier than some to run his race. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Two more chase wins in 2025, the latest at Windsor (3m, good to soft; suited by good) in November; often battled with unsuitable ground over the winter but 4lb lower than at Windsor so has a weights chance. |

3rd 7 |
9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Has five wins over fences including one over C&D; below form on his last two starts but may show improvement on this better ground. |

16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
2lb below his Windsor success in November but he's not matched that level since, latest when well held at Taunton (2m7f, heavy) last month; needs the return to better ground to spark a revival. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 44y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Three-time winner over regulation fences but has struggled since returning from a break and was well behind two of these last time; now has tongue-tie fitted. |
8/1 |

18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 44y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Triple chase winner in 2023-24 season (once over C&D); 0-10 in points in first half of 2025 and returned to racing under rules with two underwhelming runs towards end of last year, latterly when remote second to Gazette Bourgeoise here last month; revival needed. |

7th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Three places before stopping quickly and pulling up at Newton Abbot (3m2f, heavy; handles that ground) last time and his jumping wasn't the best; not overly appealing from 5lb out of the weights. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
2023 maiden point winner who has yet to add to that success, though has shown ability over hurdles and fences; pulled up on last month's return from a long absence and although entitled to have come on for the outing, a career best will be needed to figure here. |
50/1 |

31st May 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 213y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Not seen under rules since well beaten in low-grade Lingfield handicap in November and was pulled up in a restricted point last month. |
100/1 |

10th 8 |
30th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Made it 0-14 under rules when an early faller at Fakenham last Tuesday; however, he's operating off a much-reduced mark and showed spark when winning a point in April; possible contender. |
