16th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Two wins last season, the first a four-runner Huntingdon handicap in May (3m1f, good), the second a six-runner handicap at Newbury (3m, good to soft) in March; far from disgraced in a competitive race at Aintree last time and not without a chance despite career-high mark. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Ridden last ten starts by William Maggs; seventh hurdle win when seeing off five rivals at Newbury (3m, good to soft) three weeks ago but even a 2lb nudge seems likely to stop him in this much more competitive scenario. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Ridden last nine starts by William Maggs; rarely seen on soft ground; six-time winner, most recently last May; good placed efforts at about 3m four times in a row in October-December, before he failed to show in a Pertemps qualifier at Musselburgh (10-1) nearly seven weeks ago; best form this term was over C&D, so he's not entirely ruled out. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Runner-up at Warwick (3m2f, good to soft) in March under regular rider Cameron Johnstone-Baker and she's firmly in the picture on that form but two lesser performances have followed and she needs something extra. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 3 |

Found a warm Haydock class 2 stayers' handicap a step too far last month (22l last of nine), breaking a run of place finishes dating back to the autumn; races off her last winning mark back down in class. |

Never better than when placed under Cameron Johnstone-Baker at Ascot (2m7f), Kempton (3m, again on good) and Warwick (3m2f, good to soft; behind Super Survivor) on last three outings; a bit extra is needed to win this warm race. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Six-time course winner; not the force of old and has become inconsistent but looked in good nick when scoring at Wetherby (3m, good) in March, and last month's C&D third was perfectly respectable. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |

Inconsistent in recent years and no longer the force of old but kept on well to score at Wetherby (3m, good) last month, and this six-time course winner is sure to be suited by the return to this track. |

14th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won over C&D in 2023 and is well handicapped on some of last year's form; took step back in right direction when third of five at Fakenham (2m7f, good) in April but her run at Southwell a fortnight later was disappointing and she takes on a couple of in-form mares here. |

Made all at Uttoxeter (2m4f), Market Rasen (extended 2m7f) and Doncaster (3m, good) on last three outings, with a last-flight mistake not helping his margin of victory last time; up another 5lb but he's on a roll. |

Runner-up on hurdle debut here (2m1f, soft) in October then went one better at Market Rasen (2m4f, good to soft); well beaten in Listed race at Haydock last month (behind Getaway Theatre) but the heavy ground may have been too much and she could bounce back with a big performance today. |

2-2 for Harriet Dickin, having won narrowly at Ludlow (2m5f, soft) and following up by nearly 3l at Hereford (2m3f, good to soft); only 4lb higher than last time and the third won well at Kempton on Monday; has stamina to prove but good claims otherwise. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Five-time hurdle winner; seemed to respond well to first-time cheekpieces (retained) when very respectable third at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) this month but has become too inconsistent to rely upon. |
12/1 |

3rd 5 |
1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |

5-32 over hurdles (2m-3m2f), including on good to firm; first run back from a break in April was encouraging but he's gone backwards since and has to be forgiven a poor effort latest; on a fair mark if first-time cheekpieces help. |
14/1 |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Possible to say he's been temptingly handicapped for a while now, but dropping into a 0-110 here for just the second time; some hope if getting a less contested lead than last time (C&D), which isn't a given. |
