16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Safely held at last month's Aintree festival but back in calmer waters here and now back on same mark as for win at Haydock (2m4f, good to soft) in December; will be fine over this trip; might be the answer. |
6/1 |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
10yo who hasn't had much racing for his age and has been progressive this term, with wins at Kelso (2m1f, good to soft) and Haydock (2m4f, good to soft); however, below par at Carlisle in February last time and, even if back on song, there's a firm suspicion this will prove too competitive. |

12st 0lb |
Two wins towards the end of last year (2m1f/2m4f, good to soft) and 8l second to progressive winner at Doncaster (2m, soft) last time; he can give another good account and is one to consider. |

23rd Oct 2024 Soft 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Yet to add to his chase win in January 2023 but was in pretty good form when last seen in the spring; held share of the lead at final fence before fading into fourth at Warwick (2m4f, good) in May and resumes on a 2lb lower mark; also suited by soft/heavy ground; big player if tuned up after break. |

6th May 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Inconsistent since his win off 3lb higher at Doncaster (2m3f, good) in early 2023; ran well for a long way when third at Southwell last time but was 9l behind God's Own Getaway and that took his chase record to 1-9; others preferred. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Three wins over fences this season and last two have been at Fontwell (2m2f/2m3f, good to soft); well-held second of four at Plumpton 19 days ago but that was behind an improver from the Nicholls yard; 10lb lower on this return to hurdling and he's an interesting contender in suitable conditions. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 3 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Mostly in very good form since joining this yard and under a positive ride he held on comfortably when back from a break at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft), beating a reliable yardstick in the process; 4lb rise was fair; cheekpieces replace usual tongue-tie. |
5/4 |

1st 7 |
27th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Made a winning debut for Chris Gordon in September and has continued to run well in defeat; this longer trip shouldn't be a problem but he has been edging up the weights and he's 2lb out of the handicap here. |

17th Feb 2024 Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Did well as a novice hurdler in early 2021, winning on heavy; hasn't really got things going over fences following lengthy breaks and her best form is over shorter (has tried 3m); always a chance that cheekpieces might trigger something better. |

7th Mar 2025 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Has dropped a long way in the weights since starting out in handicaps and was only 3l away at Uttoxeter (3m, soft) in this first-time headgear combination; clearly capable of winning a race of this nature. |
5/1 |

2nd 8 |
8th Feb 2025 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Made his handicap debut last March and is now 19lb lower, having been well held when he took minor honours on last three outings; probably stays 3m but arguably needs better than soft ground; tongue-tie and cheekpieces are now given a first go. |
