14th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
12yo who has struggled at biggish prices in his two runs over 2m7f at Chepstow (tailed off/pulled up) this winter; dropped another 4lb but his last win was in April 2024 and he needs a major revival; stablemate of Camulus. |

27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Yet to add to his two soft-ground chase wins in early 2024 and is a 12yo now, but faced very tough task from out of the weights here on last month's seasonal debut and contests this easier race from a workable mark. |

Clearly best efforts on soft going and, following two unseats, he was beaten 15l when fourth of five on good ground at Doncaster on latest outing; competitive on best form; stable also runs Fuji Flight. |

Veteran won six races between 2018 and 2022 when trained by Jeremy Scott; still has an appetite for racing, twice runner-up in points for this rider in April; one length in front of Grange Soldier at Dromahane last time. |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Useful handicapper in his prime and versatile regarding ground; badly out of form under rules last season but easily won five-runner point on latest outing in March, and it will be interesting to see whether he enjoys a new lease of life in hunter chases. |

29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 185y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Unseated rider (still prominent) at Sandown in January when seeking a second success in the veterans final; battled his way back to pip Gabbys Cross for a Newbury win (3m2f) four weeks ago and, although 5lb rise takes him to his highest mark since 2022, this sterling character needs major respect. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 214y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Unseated rider three out, having still been prominent, at Sandown last time when bidding for a second success in the final of this series; remains on the last winning mark, so holds a fighting chance provided he's in good form and completes the course. |

11st 4lb |
3m2f winner on soft ground but hasn't been at his best this season following wind surgery, from 3m to 3m6f; tongue-tie joins cheekpieces sported the last twice; others appeal more. |

11st 9lb |
3m2f winner on soft ground but hasn't offered a great deal when sent further; has yet to get going this season and the cheekpieces didn't appear to have much of an effect when a tailed-off third at Exeter last month. |
