11th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Won twice last season (2m1f/2m2f, good to soft) and he's dropped below his last winning mark; this 7yo represents Nicky Henderson and has plenty of time to get his career back on track but he's struggled this season, most recently back over hurdles in first-time blinkers; cheekpieces now go on. |

11st 13lb |
The wheels have rather come off over fences, after last season had started so well, and he's now back over hurdles with first-time headgear applied; nothing wrong with his mark if he can get back on track. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
He's run pretty well in defeat at Kempton on his two starts this year (3m, good/good to soft); also ran okay when ninth in this last year (good to soft) but beaten nearly 20l and he's just 3lb lower this time around. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
His best form is over shorter, including last season's 2m Grade 2 victory here off the same mark as today; whether he wants 3m is questionable, for all that he was only 2l off The Doyen Chief here last month. |

4th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Won a good-quality, seven-runner handicap at Kempton (2m, good to soft) in December and is just 2lb higher here; ran well when second of three at Exeter (2m1f, good) last time and he stays this far; each-way possible. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 172y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Favourably treated with Martator on his beating of that rival in late 2023 and, when second to the Williams horse in this last year, he committed a good way from home; didn't really fire back in the spring but he's very able when fresh and worth a second look despite being 2lb wrong; Freddie Mitchell aboard for five of his last six races. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 44y Class 1 |
10st 6lb |
Useful 2m form for Charlie Longsdon in autumn 2024, including on this course, but his season ended badly; off to a good start for new yard when runner-up at Haydock (2m4f, soft; first-time cheekpieces, retained) last month but there's not much common ground between that run and what will be needed today. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Made a winning return at Carlisle (2m) in October 2024 but his form nosedived later in the season, pulled up in the Topham at Aintree last spring on his final run for Charlie Longsdon; since changed hands for £20,000 and he needs to hit the ground running for his new yard after ten months off. |

21st Apr 2025 Good 2m 3f 98y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Largely consistent 7yo who was runner-up three consecutive times after his Wincanton win (2m4f, good) in November; slightly below form when dropped back to 2m at Newbury last month but this move back up in trip will suit and his current mark is workable. |

22nd Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 92y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Consistent type, in frame all six starts this term, including over C&D; respectable fourth of 14 in Greatwood Gold Cup over 2m4f here last time; acts on any ground; should be in the thick of things again. |
4/1 |
