18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
In good form over fences in the autumn, bar a blip at Perth in October; 0-11 over hurdles but twice finished second in this sphere and often runs well after a break; entitled to respect. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Showed the benefit of a wind op when dominating from the front here (2m4f, good) last month, his second start for Laura Morgan, and ran big race in defeat under penalty at Southwell (2m4f, good) a few days later; effectively another 5lb higher today but sure to be suited by the move back up in trip; good chance. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
All-the-way Kempton 3m winner in early 2024 and, with stamina to spare at intermediate trips and the benefit of wind surgery, was played equally aggressively in victory at Perth last week (good); 2lb badly in under the penalty but still superbly handicapped on that previous winning form. |

14th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Has C&D form and he won two in a row at Wincanton (2m4f on good to soft; 3m1f on heavy) last midwinter; mixed results since but back on his latest winning mark and adding cheekpieces could help; ought to go well. |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won two in a row at Wincanton (2m4f/3m1f) last winter and latest was off 1lb lower on heavy ground; looks interesting on that form but he's been up and down since and was pulled up here on Boxing Day; needs to bounce back again after that and he comes with risks attached. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Seemingly back in good nick when second over fences in December but two lacklustre efforts have followed and it's hard to predict whether this first hurdle run since 2023 will rekindle his enthusiasm. |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Runner-up at Wincanton (3m1f, soft) in December but never going after an early mistake when pulled up at Ludlow since, taking his overall chase record to 1-18; first-time blinkers replace regular visor. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Just 1-17 over fences, and last time's 5l second at Wincanton (3m1f, soft; kept on but never threatened) owed something to the late exit of Anytrixwilldo; mark unmoved but Rian Corcoran claiming 2lb fewer this time. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Did well in cheekpieces last year, winning at Worcester (2m7f, good) in May and Aintree (3m, good) in October; not so good behind Super Survivor here (good to soft) in December but a return to form today looks possible for in-form yard; place hopes. |

26th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 149y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Won at Worcester (2m7f, good) in May in first-time cheekpieces (retained since); midfield at Market Rasen next time then runner-up back at Worcester (2m7f, good), albeit no match for the unexposed winner; also effective on soft/good to soft ground; might not be far away. |

2nd 2 |
26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Sound performances since having wind surgery and wearing cheekpieces, winning over C&D (good) in May then creditable fifth at Market Rasen; solid chance in the retained headgear. |

8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Didn't run badly when fifth of seven here (2m5f, good to soft; usual headgear removed) 12 days ago and has become well handicapped but this season has been largely disappointing and he's not yet proven over this far. |
16/1 |

27th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Three-time winner but arrives here in no sort of form and the new blinkers (replacing usual cheekpieces) did nothing for him two weeks ago; now goes in no headgear; risky. |

5th 1 |
14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Always tended to be all or nothing but has often run well on soft; risks involved now, having been pulled up on his last two starts, but he's capable of popping up, switched from cheekpieces to first-time blinkers under in-form Rian Corcoran. |
