5th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 110y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Goes well here, gaining fourth course success with a narrow verdict in March (2m3f, soft); beaten 8l behind L'Empire Vert off this 4lb higher mark on his return visit but he was held up in a race that favoured those ridden handier; good chance. |

Prevailed from a solid rival in similar event over C&D (soft) last time, taking Ffos Las record to 4-15; should remain competitive despite going back up 4lb. |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |

Gained three of his five chase wins here; must bounce back from a poor performance (over hurdles) in January but was placed here on first two starts this season (2m4f hurdle/2m chase) and has been given a chance by the handicapper. |

11st 9lb |
Just 1-14 over fences and needs to run better than on his two starts this winter, but he twice finished runner-up off higher marks last spring and perhaps the first-time cheekpieces will give him a boost; not discounted. |

29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 13y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Winning hurdler who is 0-15 over fences; placed a few times, as at Windsor on New Year's Day (3m, good), but lesser performances have followed and softer ground was no excuse; cheekpieces return after trying blinkers last time. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 48y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Back from a break to finish second at Windsor but that was over 3m and he fared less well at Huntingdon where soft ground was no excuse; still, always a chance that blinkers will sharpen up him and the trip shouldn't be a problem. |
14/1 |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |

Recent Windsor second (3m, good; pair 13l clear) was his most likeable performance since last spring; effective on slow ground and over stayers' trips, but untried over both together, and cranked back up 6lb also. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Back to form after a second wind op, posting career-best RPRs when scoring at Chepstow in February and when runner-up at Hereford the following month (both at 2m); has his best form over shorter but shapes as though this trip should suit and he commands respect on that recent form. |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Last year's winner on good ground; bounced back to form after wind surgery to beat four rivals at Chepstow (2m, soft) two weeks ago, making virtually all; back up 5lb but has leading claims again. |

21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Made excellent progress over fences last season, winning three times (1m7f-2m, good-heavy), but ended that campaign with a poor run and has not been at his best this term (three starts); needs last month's wind op to have made a difference. |

Pulled up on heavy ground on two of last three appearances but between those he ran a big race when third on good ground at Chepstow (2m3f); back on a sound surface today and only 2lb higher than when landing this prize in 2024; respected. |

Made all to win novice handicaps at Exeter (2m2f, good) and Ffos Las in April (2m, good); pulled up after early error on chase debut at Ffos Las last time; up 14lb (raised 7lb for each win); could go well but may find others better treated. |

Well treated on his old form but his last win was in December 2024 and he's finished down the field in his three completed starts this year; cheekpieces now return but he needs to raise his game. |

Placed in a bumper and also over fences, the latter coming at Exeter (2m1f, good; first-time blinkers) on his penultimate start; weakened quickly when pulled up at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft) latest; return to further could help him be more competitive. |
