3rd 1 |
16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Back to his winning trip over fences after failing to defy some serious stamina doubts over the 3m2f of the Kim Muir; he's none too consistent and looked a hard ride at Musselburgh the run before (2m4f), but he's realistically handicapped if he can travel kinder in the new cheekpieces. |
100/30 |
|
18th 4 |
12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Impressive at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) last February and back to form when third there (2m4f, good to soft) in January; however, this inconsistent 9yo was well beaten at Musselburgh last month and this is a big step into the unknown in terms of stamina (albeit that he did win a 3m point). |
33/1 |

8th 2 |
31st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Inconsistent but he's run really well on both visits here, winning comfortably over C&D (good to soft) at this meeting 12 months ago and doing well to finish third over C&D (good to soft) on reappearance having made a bad blunder three out; effective on soft ground earlier in career; big chance. |

2nd 3 (5) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Regressed over hurdles last year but there was some encouragement with a hood deployed when fourth of seven at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) on his Flat return last month; blinkers (retained) were back on when a pace bias and wide draw did for him at Chester three weeks ago; not entirely ruled out. |
14/1 |

12th 7 (12) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Lost his way over hurdles last year and made only a mildly encouraging return to the Flat when keeping-on fourth of seven at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW; first-time hood) last month; not the most obvious answer. |
40/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Lost his way over hurdles, running poorly in two runs back from a break last November; the usual cheekpieces are replaced by a first-time hood and it's hard to believe he's still up to this sort of mark on the Flat. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 203y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Completed this season's hat-trick over shorter trips, in lower grades and on softer surfaces; won over a similar trip to this over hurdles but on soft ground that seems to suit him ideally; a good-ground renewal of the Grand Annual proved far too tough last month. |
10/1 |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
3-4 over fences, the wins coming over 2m1f/2m on heavy/good to soft; clearly knows how to get the job done and he's on an upward curve, but he's 5lb higher than for a narrow win in a small field at Warwick last time and today is a much tougher test of his credentials. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Bang-in-form 7yo who ended 2025 with convincing wins at Bangor (2m1f, heavy) and Chepstow (2m, good to soft); shooting up the weights but won't mind what the weather does here and commands respect in current mood. |

11st 12lb |
Won low-grade 2m AW handicap on latest outing in October but hasn't run over hurdles since 33l defeat on handicap debut at Hereford (2m5f, good to soft) in February last year, and his profile is somewhat unconvincing. |
12/1 |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Can front-run; 7yo who has had 16 starts, with his sole win coming over this C&D in April 2021; off since below-form third of five at Lingfield (2m, AW) in June and others are preferred. |

Flat winner who is 0-6 over hurdles but has responded positively to this headgear combination the last twice in handicaps over 2m5f and 2m3f (both on good); strong stayer on the Flat so this longer trip is worth a go. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

Has struggled over hurdles since rejoining this stable but his penultimate Flat run was encouraging and this is his first time in a seller. |
12/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
14th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
He's struggled over hurdles since rejoining this stable but he ran a respectable race at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) 10 days ago; needs to build on that effort now stepping back up in trip and he's without a win on the Flat since 2022. |
5/1 |

4th 2 (7) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

8yo who has struggled back over hurdles since rejoining Fergal O'Brien in the autumn; his sole Flat win came at this track (11.4f, good to firm) but that was in 2022 and he has something to prove back in this sphere; hood reapplied. |

11th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Lightly raced 7yo who was returning from a long absence when second on his handicap debut at Hereford a few months ago; has since been taken out on account of soft ground, so the better spell of weather won't have hurt; considered off the same mark. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
12th May 2024 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Unexposed 5yo who displayed clear promise in three 2m novice hurdles last season (good to soft/soft), notably here in December behind a smart one; that was on soft ground and yet he's bypassed two recent handicaps on account of the ground being too slow; his form claims are up there at this level. |
