18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
The way he asserted in the Grand National Trial at Haydock (3m4f, good to soft) last February made this race look an appealing proposition, but he faded badly when it was put to the test and later lost the Haydock race due to a banned substance; this season has been very disappointing but at least he's 9lb lower than 12 months ago and his yard has been in great form. |
25/1 |

7th 14 |
11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 56y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Very useful handicapper over regulation fences on his day and a very respectable sixth in last year's Ultima (3m1f, good to soft) at this meeting; won't fail through lack of stamina but has been out of form this season and makes cross-country debut from 11lb out of the handicap. |
50/1 |

1st Nov 2025 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Useful over fences, first past the post in the Grand National Trial at Haydock (disqualified due to banned substance) in February and far from disgraced in the Ultima at Cheltenham the following month; having his first hurdles outing since April 2022 here, so carries risks, but he could be dangerous off his lower mark if fully tuned up. |

8th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Behind stablemate Blackjack Magic when seventh in final of this veterans' series at Sandown in January and was soundly beaten in major Ascot handicap last month but her first two runs this season were very respectable and she's now 3lb lower than when winning this race in 2025. |
7/2 |

14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 185y Class 1 |
10st 4lb |
Successful in two legs of the 2025 Stayers' Veterans' Chase Series but came up short in the Final won by Nocte Volatus; hasn't won a conventional race since 2023. |
20/1 |
|
5th 4 |
30th Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
In-form mare who won four-runner veterans' chase fairly comfortably at Carlisle (3m, good) a week ago and is now 2-3 since fitted with a visor; has 6lb penalty to carry today but is respected in her current mood. |

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. |

11st 6lb |
Only beaten 4l in this last year when 5lb higher and best run since was her latest when runner-up at Kelso (3m2f); although some 14l off the winner, she was on the back foot after early interference and ran well all things considered; respected. |

29th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 3m 2f 39y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Placed off 3lb higher in North Wales National at Bangor (3m5f, heavy) in February but has been well beaten on all three starts since, most recently when upped to 4m and fitted with cheekpieces (retained) for Borders National here three weeks ago; needs to turn a corner. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Won over C&D (soft) in February before respectable sixth of 17 in veterans' final at Haydock (2m4f, good) a fortnight ago; 11 visits to Ayr have yielded five wins and this is his time of year; could go well. |
16/1 |
|
6th 14 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
His last six wins have come in the months of February, March or April and he returned to form to win at Ayr (2m4f, soft) 40 days ago; runner-up in this race two years ago (soft) and won over C&D (good to soft) last February; that latest win reads well and a 4lb rise isn't harsh; possible player. |
12/1 |
|
1st 1 |
23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
12yo who hasn't been at the top of his game on either outing this term and was tailed off at Aintree most recently; however, this is the stage of the season when he tends to come good and he's 2lb lower than when scoring at Haydock last February; has won here four times, and on various ground. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Doncaster form figures read 1P2114, the last five of which were over fences; not disgraced last time and this hurdles mark is 10lb lower, so a case can be made. |
5/1 |

4th 5 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Course form figures read 1P211, the last two wins coming in this race last year (good) and over C&D (good to soft) last month, both off a mark 2lb lower than today's; has also won on soft; respected given his record here. |
7/1 |

5th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
10st 5lb |
9yo who has been inconsistent over the years but he's been better than ever the last twice, going very close at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in December before winning another competitive handicap there (3m, good) in January, albeit having a battle on his hands before being left clear at the final fence; that latest form still reads well and a 4lb rise isn't harsh; chance. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Not quite a year since he won off a 20lb higher mark at Perth (3m, good); insufficient encouragement on last two stasrts, even allowing for the inadequacy of the trip, and hopes rest with the return of the cheekpieces worn for last four wins. |
8/1 |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
No win over hurdles since July 2021, and was a remote last of eight in this last year; solid record over fences here - four wins at 3m - which does at least offer some hope, even if he has struggled for form (P84) in his last three starts; might need this off a 232-day absence. |

24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Four-time C&D winner (good-heavy), including this race in 2023; has questions to answer after disappointing on last two appearances but was second on consecutive C&D starts in June/July and can't be ruled out. |
10/1 |

8th 1 |
8th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Very disappointing last time at Uttoxeter but was runner-up over C&D in his two previous starts and he's bidding for a hat-trick in this race; nothing wrong with his mark if back on song. |

23rd Feb 2024 Soft 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
10yo who is having a substandard campaign, but last month's fifth at Plumpton was a step back in the right direction and he's well handicapped on last season's marathon chase form (including on soft); not ruled out. |
14/1 |
|
5th 2 |
7th Jan 2024 Soft 3m 4f 102y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Well-held fifth in this last year off 2lb higher; ended that campaign well with two seconds over 3m4f and a blind eye could be turned to this season's no-shows for one reason or another (lost his action last time). |
