18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Second-season chaser who took his form to new levels over about 3m1f-3m2f at Cheltenham initially this season but, after wind surgery, faded badly from three out when 10-1 for the Kim Muir there last month; needs to bounce back with another career best and he has more to prove on this third attempt at a marathon trip. |

Second-season chaser who has run well here on his last three starts, finishing second of 16 under Finian Maguire (3m1f, heavy) then fourth over this C&D (good to soft; lost a shoe) before winning here (3m1f, good) on New Year's Day; has had wind surgery since and he's a solid contender. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 4m 1f 56y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Wore cheekpieces on last four starts, to be placed twice over hurdles but not faring so well in two chases, including behind Val Dancer at Lingfield (upped markedly to 3m5f) last time; given wind surgery since and now has tongue tied first time; he's now 9lb below last winter's peak mark (even from out of the handicap) so has his chance if back on song. |

Snapped 12-race losing sequence with narrow win at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft) last month; well beaten by the first three when fourth of 15 over C&D (soft) last time but that was a hot race and he drops back down in grade today; could have a part to play. |

Her first three chase starts yielded wins at Sedgefield (2m5f, good to soft) and Ayr (2m4f, soft); only third of four at Ayr (2m4f, soft) since but that may not be the limit of her ability; won here over hurdles and she's not ruled out. |

Seemed to be running well in first-time blinkers before falling at Carlisle and he then made all the running under Gina Andrews at Market Rasen (3m, good); up 4lb but the blinkers have made a difference and should remain competitive. |

Disappointed on first two starts this season but seemed to be running well in first-time blinkers (retained) before falling at Carlisle (3m, good to soft) last month; remains on same mark as for last spring's good-ground win there and has top amateur Gina Andrews booked here; might be the answer. |

20th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 3 |

Inconsistent this season but won in first-time blinkers at Newcastle in November and looked unlucky not to add to his tally at Haydock (also 2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago, when a last-fence error was costly; up another 4lb for that but could have more to offer if in the right mood again. |

Has run only three times since beating Its On The Line at Cheltenham last season; winner of points at Dromahane in November and 19 days ago, that recent display providing reassurance after a disappointingly lifeless Cheltenham defence; leading contender for the stable that has dominated the point-to-point scene this season. |

4-4 since bought for £33,000 in July 2024 and he emerged from midfield to win this last year (good to soft; effective on softer), fending off the late charge of Its On The Line; has undergone a similar preparation, arriving here fresh after winning a point in early November; there have been back-to-back winners of this race and a bold defence looks on the cards. |

Only three runs over regulation fences but he was third in a Grade 2 in 2022 and fourth in a good novice handicap here in late 2023; signed off for the Bowen yard last summer with respectable runs over hurdles and hasn't been overly pressed to win two small-field points in Ireland for this stable; positive jockey booking and brings each-way hopes provided a 131-day break doesn't come back to bite him. |
