4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 125y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Prolific winner over hurdles; just as good over fences and holding his form well, beaten off only on run-in when second at Leicester (2m6f; stays 3m1f well) four weeks ago; handles any ground; leading contender. |
9/2 |

2nd 2 |
6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Prolific winner over hurdles; off the mark over fences at the seventh attempt at Wincanton (3m1f, soft) when fitted with first-time cheekpieces in January, and matched that level when runner-up at Newbury the following month; can make his presence felt again but he's never won off a mark this high. |

17th Feb 2026 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |

Prolific winner over hurdles; it was in a lower grade when getting off the mark over fences at Wincanton (3m1f, soft) but that was fairly comfortable and it was his first time in cheekpieces; off 5lb higher he can make his presence felt. |

21st Apr 2024 Good To Soft 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Second to very progressive rival on handicap debut at Hereford (3m1f, good) in January and bounced back from lesser effort when third at Ffos Las (2m4f, heavy; first-time blinkers) last month; back up to a staying trip today and could still have more to offer. |

Displayed clear improvement when second to very progressive rival on handicap debut at Hereford (3m1f, good) two starts ago but was slightly disappointing on soft ground there (2m5f) last month and conditions are a worry again here; swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers. |

Only win came on good ground off 2lb higher here last May (3m1f); has run well since then but form has taken a turn for the worse this year and should have run better only 19 days ago at Hereford when back on good ground. |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
In-form 10yo who won over hurdles here (2m4f, soft) in November and over fences at Ffos Las (2m3f, heavy) last month; 6lb rise has now kicked in but she ran another solid race at Huntingdon last week and she remains well treated on old form; should go well again back over fences. |

5th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |

In-form 10yo; successful in two of her last three starts, latest at Ffos Las (2m3f, heavy) when returned to fences last week; stays 3m1f and has a leading chance off same mark; due to go up 6lb in future. |

10st 6lb |
C&D (good to soft) and 3m chase winner (good) who is back on that last winning chase mark; has been better in this discipline and is on a handy mark but was unable to take advantage over C&D latest. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |

5th 6 |
14th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 5f 82y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Record of 1-10 over hurdles and has the same strike-rate over fences; his last success was in a chase handicap at Warwick (3m, good) last April but he's not matched that form since and was tailed off at Exeter last time; comes with risks attached after a break and his last hurdle run was 12 months ago. |

Lightly raced; only 11-2 for his second run in a handicap at Exeter (2m2f, soft) but was beaten 22l in the end; stamina to prove over this far and he's 5lb out of the weights. |

Tongue tied on last two starts and cheekpieces were fitted for handicap debut on latest (possibly stretched by 2m4f, on soft) but he still has not made a significant impact; 3lb out of the handicap. |

1st Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Runner-up over C&D (good) off 2lb higher in February and reverts to hurdling after two respectable chase runs this spring; probably won't be far away but overall strike-rate now stands at 0-18 and others in this line-up appeal more. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Handicap mark took a hit for his drawn-out hat-trick (third win came after 334 days off) and he's now back from another absence after pulling up on final appearance; very much up against it from 8lb out of the handicap. |

19th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |

The four-timer came up shy at Stratford (2m6f, good) but he still ran well off his career-high mark and Megan Fox now takes off 7lb; his improvement has come on good ground but he handles soft. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |

Launched chasing career with two wins in early part of last season and returned from 11-month absence to complete his hat-trick at Warwick (2m4f, good) four weeks ago; will be fine over today's longer trip and could still have more to offer over fences. |

0-6 over fences and 0-11 overall; seems versatile regarding ground is quite well handicapped if judged on best 2024 form but returned from long absence with poor run in December and may not be straightforward. |

20th Nov 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |

Runner-up in three of his four chases, most recently on seasonal debut at Uttoxeter (3m, good), where he caused a rival to unseat when swerving left on approach to penultimate fence; probably still on a workable mark and must be considered. |
