1st May 2026 Good 4m 0f 218y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Former winner of Highland and Southern Nationals (good to soft), so surprising he didn't see out 3m here on January's hunter chase debut; back on track in a Siddington novice riders' point latest, additionally a first career success on good ground; safe ride (never falls) and not dismissed. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Thorough stayer who was very respectable fifth of 14 in quite valuable Uttoxeter handicap (3m, good) on latest outing in May; also suited by soft ground and has big role to play if fully tuned up for hunter chase debut; blinkers removed after one use. |

3rd May 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Won over hurdles after wind surgery and then ran okay to be fourth over 3m at Kempton in a race he won the previous season; there's nothing wrong with his mark and always a chance that blinkers will bring him on. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 125y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
C&D winner in December 2024 (heavy; won on good) and made it 2-2 here when beating three rivals over 3m4f (good to soft) on reappearance; the glaring concern is his nothing run at Exeter last time when in trouble a long way out. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Seen only once this season, winning four-runner Haydock chase (3m4f, good to soft) from the front on stable debut in December, but was nudged up only 2lb for that and should be fine on the quicker surface here; respected. |
7/2 |

15th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Won well over Haydock's extended 3m1f on heavy two runs back; has failed to complete in his two previous marathon chases and was on the retreat, though still in third, when crashing out at the final fence of the Eider (good to soft); can run well again but others might be better equipped to see this out stronger; new cheekpieces the headgear of choice today (effective in visor/blinkers). |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Useful, four-time handicap chase winner who scored at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) in January on his first hunter chase start; runner-up on next two outings (3m/2m7f, soft/good to soft); this 11yo needs a bigger run today. |
33/1 |

2nd 2 |
20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Has always been useful; ran in a handicap on debut for this yard and then beat Fil d'Ariane at Ludlow (3m, good to soft); perhaps found soft ground against him when no match for Jeffery's Cross last time and better can be expected. |
6/1 |

2nd Mar 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Successful at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) last time on hunter chase debut and second start for new stable, showing he retains plenty of vitality aged 11; this is a weaker race; respected. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Pulled up three consecutive times after his two good-ground wins (3m/3m5f) in March 2025; back on a good mark now and was seemingly perked up by first-time visor when close fourth of six (just behind Enjoy d'Allen) at Plumpton (3m1f, good) last month but overall profile remains unconvincing. |

4th 1 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Has five wins over fences, including over C&D, but has been pulled up on his last three starts; back on last winning mark and first-time visor now goes on but he comes with risks. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Won this last year (good) and followed up at Warwick (3m5f, good) a week later; also effective on good to soft ground; pulled up on final two starts last season but can go well fresh and is not ruled out on his return. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Not quite a year since he won off a 20lb higher mark at Perth (3m, good); insufficient encouragement on last two stasrts, even allowing for the inadequacy of the trip, and hopes rest with the return of the cheekpieces worn for last four wins. |

4th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 3m 1f 125y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Shaped well on seasonal debut at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) in October and was very respectable fifth at Cheltenham (3m1f, good) later that month; didn't fire when back at Cheltenham 18 days ago but this race is less competitive and he's on a good mark. |

16th Nov 2024 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Won this in 2021 and he hasn't run badly on his two starts this autumn, latest when 14l fifth of 18 over C&D (good); however, he needs a bigger performance today if he's to snap an 11-race losing sequence. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Six-time course winner who was runner-up in this race last year (good to soft); has since gained two C&D wins on good ground, latest in September; has plenty going for him; leading contender. |
100/30 |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Gained all six chase wins at Perth, most recently when scrambling home by a short head (3m, good) last month; may not be seen to quite the same effect over this C&D but is only 2lb higher today and evidently in good nick. |
4/1 |

1st 4 |
24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Five-time course winner, most recently in Perth Gold Cup over today's trip in June (good ground); didn't really fire in Market Rasen's Summer Plate in July but this race is much less competitive, and the return to this track is an obvious plus. |
