26th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
All four wins have come here, three over fences at around 3m and one over hurdles at 2m4f; latest success over fences came here last month in this headgear combination, but he's just as effective over hurdles and a key player reverting to this sphere off a small rise. |

11st 11lb |
Both wins over fences have been over C&D, the first in first-time headgear a year ago; not at his best when fifth in the Sussex National back here 13 days ago but must be taken seriously down in grade with visor replacing blinkers. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Yet to add to her 2023 course maiden win and suffered mid-race mishap at Fontwell this month but her three runs in June/July (2m-2m3f) were all respectable and she probably won't be far away. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |

Yet to add to her maiden win at Plumpton in 2023 but she's on a dangerous mark and ran respectably in her final two runs during the summer; not ruled out back from a break. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Course bumper and hurdle winner who won Plumpton handicap hurdle off 18lb higher last April; subsequent starts over fences didn't go well and he resumes chase career having been well held over hurdles on last three starts. |
8/1 |

4th 3 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
He's had a disappointing season, initially over fences and more recently over hurdles, and has something to prove; however, he's now 10lb lower than when winning over C&D (good) last April and can't be written off; monitor the betting. |

Chasing did not go well this season (three runs) but he ran well until tiring on heavy ground over hurdles at Fontwell (2m5f, heavy) recently and is now 6lb lower than for an emphatic C&D win on good ground last April. |

No wins in 14; ran better in his third chase over C&D in May, beaten about 13l behind one having a good summer; 2lb out of the weights. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |

13-race maiden who has been pulled up in both runs over fences (2m3f) and was tailed off back over hurdles at Exeter (2m, good) last time; opposable. |

23rd Oct 2024 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
0-6 over hurdles and absent since a disappointing run in April but his first two handicap runs (2m5f/2m4f) were quite encouraging and improvement is possible this season; cheekpieces left off today. |
10/1 |
|
5th 5 |
19th Apr 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Has shown glimpses of promise in both novice and handicap company and stepped up slightly on his return from wind surgery when fifth at Plumpton (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces) latest; drops 2lb and likely to need more improvement to defy this mark. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Not yet proven over this far but ran quite well when third (albeit well held in the end) at Fontwell (2m2f, good) in August and is now back on same mark as for narrow course win (2m3f, good) in first-time cheekpieces in March; no surprise if he features. |

3rd 4 |
28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Needs to rebound from a poor run in June but has largely consistent record since switched to fences last autumn and seems versatile regarding trip; raced mainly on good ground but handles good to soft; could have a say. |
8/1 |
|
4th 3 |
16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |

In the frame all six starts since switch to chasing in the autumn, including course win (2m3f, good) in first-time cheekpieces in March; ran big race when second (albeit well held in the end) over 2m5f here last month; strong claims if stamina holds out over this longer trip. |

0-12 over hurdles but caught the eye at Doncater (3m, good) last month, keeping on well from the rear to finish third (just behind Skin Full); big player if able to build on that recent effort. |

19th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 5 |

Well backed into 3-1 favouritism at Uttoxeter but was soundly beaten; has never managed to threaten in a handicap and is now 0-11; needs to raise his game. |

31st Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |

Never looked dangerous when sixth at Taunton (3m, good to soft) in first-time tongue-tie/cheekpieces last month and is now 0-10 over hurdles; not written off just yet but needs to up his game. |

Beginning to look exposed after six hurdle starts but ran a big race before weakening into third in Bangor handicap (2m7f, good) in May and has a good chance at the weights here; had wind op in June; tongue-tie added. |

4th Feb 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 4 |

French bumper winner who has been well beaten over hurdles on all three British starts, last of seven off this mark on handicap debut at Sandown on latest (2m, heavy; 5-1, weakening when hampered at the final flight); cheekpieces join the tongue-tie. |
11/2 |
|
7th 7 |
8th Dec 2023 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
French bumper winner who has been well beaten over hurdles on both British starts but they were still fair runs relative to today's modest opening mark, and he shaped over C&D last time as though he would improve for the run; possible improver for leading yard and firmly in calculations. |
