6th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Veteran; has won nine chases, often making all in small fields on good ground; hasn't been quite at his best since Uttoxeter win last July (2m4f, good) but has plenty going for him here. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Returned to winning ways at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last summer and remained competitive afterwards; however, he has since turned 12 and lacking a run might not be ideal. |

11yo who returned to winning ways at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in July and has run pretty well in third on his next two outings (3m/3m1f, good); might not be far away. |

13th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Rather lost his way last season after winning at Newbury in October and last week's Fakenham run was an all-time low; tries a visor this time, but blinkers and cheekpieces did nothing for him. |
8/1 |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Easily won three-runner race at Newbury (2m4f, good) in October but subsequent form last season was underwhelming; well handicapped now (even from 1lb out of the weights) and will probably be okay back at 3m but needs the new cheekpieces to perk him up. |
11/2 |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Easily won three-runner handicap at Newbury (2m4f, good) on reappearance; jumped left when 6l third of four at right-handed Ascot (2m5f, good) next time, and his 13l sixth of nine at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) came in a race that worked out extremely well; heavy going excuses him being tailed off at Warwick and he could go well now back on better ground. |

1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 3m 3f 119y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Only this year returned from a long absence and showed he was no back number with an 11l third at Aintree two weeks ago (3m1f, good); stamina for quite this far is by no means assured but he can't be ruled out. |

27th May 2024 Good To Soft 3m 5f 80y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Won't fail through lack of stamina but was pulled up on final two starts for Gordon Elliott during the winter and has not yet built upon his fairly respectable stable debut in March; tailed off when fourth of five here on Saturday (3m1f, good to soft); needs a sudden revival. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Four-time chase winner (3m-3m3f), on ground ranging from good to soft; lurks on a dangerous mark but has not been firing on all cylinders this year and has a lot more to prove than some of these. |

8th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
3m3f Stratford winner last June but recent struggles continued when well beaten in that same race last month, finishing behind Ajp Kingdom and My Gift To You; did run well for a long way though and the return of cheekpieces didn't harm. |

31st May 2025 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Not firing on all cylinders since returning from a break in March (four runs) but now 5lb lower than when making all for clearcut success in this race last year and the cheekpieces (worn for that success) are now refitted for the first time this year. |

Consistent and progressive mare with two chase wins here this spring; only third (off 9lb lower) when last seen over hurdles six months ago but has improved since; fair chance if able to transfer her chasing form. |
