22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 2f 208y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Not firing on all cylinders this season but significant positives can be drawn from his recent third at Wincanton (1m7f, heavy), where he made good headway to challenge in the home straight; remains on a good mark; interesting. |

3rd 5 |
14th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Effective at 2m on heavy ground but his last win was two years ago; well handicapped on old form but he's been well held in his last three runs and needs to get back on track. |

5th 3 |
26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Both chase wins came when trained by Richard Bandey; tailed off over hurdles here (2m3f, soft) last month and back over fences at Exeter (2m1f, good to soft) 17 days ago; down to a career-low mark but has it all to prove. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Not yet proven over this far but made the frame on final four outings last season (2m3f-2m4f, good) and was in front before penultimate-fence unseat at Fontwell (3m2f, good) last month; must be considered. |
9/4 |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Made the frame on final four starts last season, most recently when third of 12 here (2m3f, good) one month ago; remains on a workable mark but has stamina to prove over this much longer trip. |
5/1 |

3rd 8 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
All three wins have been on heavy ground; C&D second in January was also on soft but his two placed efforts over 2m4f at Wincanton since came on good to soft and good; ought to be thereabouts again but it is now over two years since his last win. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Dual chase winner in France in 2021 (2m1f/2m3f); lightly raced in recent years but best run for this stable when fair fourth at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) in December on his return from a big absence; pulled up in a similar contest at Warwick last month and it's not easy to know what can be expected despite stable being in better form now. |

Dual chase winner in France in 2021 (2m1f/2m3f); very lightly raced in recent years but returned from latest long layoff with fair fourth at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) last month and remains unexposed over this trip. |
