31st Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Effective on all ground but Leicester is his favourite patch; his record elsewhere isn't that solid and twice well held here, as was also the case when tried in blinkers last time at Uttoxeter. |
15/2 |

2nd 7 |
14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Particularly effective at Leicester, as best form this season confirms; his record at Uttoxeter isn't as solid; nicely weighted but chance partly depends on how well he responds to new headgear. |
7/1 |

4th 4 |
24th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Leicester specialist whose good record here features second-place finishes in this contest last year (off 2lb higher) and on latest outing (had wind surgery since); solid claims. |

6th Feb 2025 Heavy 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Wind surgery preceded two good runs last March, including a narrow win at Chepstow (near 3m, soft; 2lb higher today); reappearance third at Uttoxeter on New Year's Eve wasn't bad and he's had another wind operation since. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 40y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Course winner who was in good form until a below-par fifth of six in 2m Warwick handicap chase 16 days ago; cheekpieces go on now and she's the sort to bounce back. |
7/4 |
|
5th 5 |
8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won two 2m chases last season (soft/good) and this season's largely consistent record includes a good second over C&D; current mark is workable; likely to be in the shake-up. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
24th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Largely consistent efforts this term, most recently close second at Lingfield (2m) behind a rival who was completing a hat-trick; won this race in 2024 (on heavy ground) and has solid claims despite being on a much higher mark now. |

19th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Resurgent 10yo who ended last season with two 2m5f wins (good/good to soft) and posted another good effort when close second of 13 at Hexham (2m4f, good) this month; obvious contender. |

2nd 9 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Has come right back to form on last two starts, winning at Hereford (2m5f, good) and Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft); has gone up 9lb but should go well again. |

Won back-to-back handicap chases last May and staged a revival when second at Ffos Las this April; very hit and miss, though, and has been well beaten in his last three races. |

Dual 3m chase winner this time last year; hit and miss since, and although third on his last two starts he's been comfortably held at the line. |

15th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Debut point winner (March 2020); has shown precious little since for Laura Morgan, this trainer (points), John Groucott, or Nigel Twiston-Davies; returns to hurdles from 5lb out of the handicap after pulling-up over fences at Leicester (2m4f, soft) in March; difficult to consider. |
33/1 |

8th Mar 2024 Heavy 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Debut point winner in March 2020; poor form for various trainers since; worth a basic market check though on return from a 312-day absence for new trainer Nigel Twiston-Davies. |
10/1 |
|
8th 8 |
1st May 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Point winner in March 2020; poor rules form last season and she failed to complete in points this winter; plenty to prove on stable debut. |
