22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Defied much higher marks twice, including over C&D, a couple of years ago; has failed to repeat the form since and ran particularly poorly last time. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Five-time hurdle winner who continues to drop down the weights; however, it's a long time since this 11yo has been competitive. |

3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Five-time winner, including over 2m3f here; hasn't been at his best in two runs this season and probably best watched in what looks a competitive event. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
7-1 when early faller at the Chair in this last year; this 7yo was an eye-catching third at Ludlow in February on penultimate start, having been hampered, but needs to step up on this season's handicap form if he's to threaten. |

3rd 2 |
20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Returned to form when finishing third at Ludlow (2m4f, soft) recently, when back up in trip on his third start for this yard; he came clear with two progressive opponents last time, despite being hampered in the back straight, and could have a big part to play today. |
5/2 |

4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Won a hunter chase under former owner David Maxwell in March; sold for £90,000 in October; his quiet stable debut was at Cheltenham and he showed more at Newbury when about 11l off the winner (2m); returning to slower ground over further could be beneficial; respected. |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Won this 12 months ago on his reappearance when 4lb lower and then finished a 2l second to Primoz at Wetherby, the form of which could be reversed on these more favourable terms; consistent and should have every chance. |

2nd 1 |
23rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Has consistent form figures and should give his running but this 10yo may have to settle for a supporting role off top weight; returns to fences after two runs over hurdles. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Easily made all in first-time visor over C&D (good to soft) last April; hard to fancy on his three runs this term but, given his previous reaction to new headgear, it's possible cheekpieces will garner a positive response. |
9/1 |

31st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 138y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Easily made all in first-time visor (retained since) at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) last April and he stays this far; however, pulled up/tailed off on his two outings this season and needs to turn things around. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 1 |
10st 7lb |
Held by Madara and Will The Wise but running well when falling at final fence in the Plate at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) last month; two wins during a progressive 2025 (2m4f/2m6f, soft/good to soft); each-way shout. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 44y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Has a useful jumps strike-rate and a Newbury chase win (about 2m6f, good to soft) in November showed he was still improving; a 9lb rise appeared beyond him on the New course since but he travelled strongly for a long way and may yet show he hasn't exhausted the handicapping options. |
14/1 |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Tends to finish strongly from off the pace and posted another personal best when winning at Newbury (2m6f, good to soft) at the end of November; a 9lb rise means he'll need another leap forward but he keeps progressing and it's certainly possible. |
7/2 |
