18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Second-season chaser who took his form to new levels over about 3m1f-3m2f at Cheltenham initially this season but, after wind surgery, faded badly from three out when 10-1 for the Kim Muir there last month; needs to bounce back with another career best and he has more to prove on this third attempt at a marathon trip. |

Second-season chaser who has run well here on his last three starts, finishing second of 16 under Finian Maguire (3m1f, heavy) then fourth over this C&D (good to soft; lost a shoe) before winning here (3m1f, good) on New Year's Day; has had wind surgery since and he's a solid contender. |

6th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 110y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Ran quite well over hurdles here (2m4f, good to soft) on stable debut in November but not much has gone to plan since; well held when unseating rider on last month's return to fences and effectively 5lb higher from out of the weights today; others appeal much more. |

Back on track with two good seconds this winter, the latter at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) last month, and ought to handle the faster ground here; can make his presence felt again. |

20th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Dual hurdle winner who got back on track with a second at Hereford (3m2f, good to soft) in December and the first three pulled well clear in that race; looks interesting off unchanged mark and he's still unexposed as a stayer. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Bagged a fourth success of the season at Chepstow (2m3f) in February; seemed unsuited by dropping back to 2m when a solid fourth of ten at Hereford 13 days ago and not out of things over this more suitable distance. |
12/1 |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |

Won three in a row in November/December (2m3f-2m4f) and scored at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) in February; well-held fourth eight days later at Ffos Las, possibly finding the quick turnaround too much; may resume progress, though the drop in trip is a slight concern. |

Won three in a row in November/December (2m3f-2m4f) and took his form to another new level when battling on well to score at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) eight days ago; latest 4lb rise does not look excessive and further progress is not out of the question. |

Dual-purpose performer with a record of 2-35 and his last win was in a novice at this track (1m4f) four years ago; stays this trip and was a fair fifth back on the Flat here in December but others are more persuasive. |

Raced lazily before eventually staying on for third at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) last December and has been absent since a lesser effort in January but won when fresh in April 2023 and has slipped to a tempting mark; worth a second look. |

Showed little in early ventures in bumpers and pulled up on hurdle debut but she came clear in quite pleasing style when winning a 2m1f maiden at Fontwell in August and had a stiff task under a penalty next time; should have a future at this level now handicapping. |
