15th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Has returned from a break in good form, building on an encouraging reappearance when adding a third chase win at Warwick (2m4f, good) last month; 8lb higher now and may be vulnerable, but likely to be involved again. |

On a fairly tough mark but otherwise has plenty in his favour and ran a solid second over C&D last time; every chance. |

Below par when last seen in August but ran pretty well in his previous two races, including here; has plenty in his favour, other than a tough enough mark. |

28th Aug 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Has taken time to come to hand since returning from a long absence this year but built on some better recent efforts with a hard-fought win (first over obstacles) at Stratford (2m3f, good) last month; leading player back up 3lb. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Record of 5-18 over fences but all of those wins have come at Sedgefield (2m/2m4f); only 2lb higher than for his last win in April but he's not gone on from that and was a well-held fifth of seven over C&D (good; 16-1) last time; others preferred. |
12/1 |
|
5th 11 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
At his best at Sedgefield where he boasts five wins; fair effort when third to Zumbi over C&D last month but it may be best to wait until he returns to his favoured venue. |
16/1 |

3rd 4 |
27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |

Usually saves his best for Sedgefield, where he won over fences in April (subsequent fourth was over hurdles); two visits here has produced a second place; no surprise to see him run well. |

7th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Wins have come over shorter round easy, undulating courses and he's regressed in recent times; it's been the best part of two years since he ran well on turf and he's some way down the pecking order. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
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. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |

Returned from break with two below-par runs towards the end of last season and suffered mid-race mishap on latest outing this month but he has slipped to a good mark and can't be ruled out. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

0-10 over fences; gave good account when fourth at Hereford (2m, good) in November but his overall record is not persuasive, and he was safely held on latest outing two months ago. |

Winning pointer; only modest form on handicap/chase debut, beaten 44l at Stratford (2m1f, good) in June; should be suited by the step back up in trip with cheekpieces returning; others have more pressing claims. |

Exposed pointer, winner of a maiden in April 2023 (3m, good to soft); hasn't built on that and was well beaten at Ffos Las back over hurdles on stable debut last time (2m6f, good to soft); best watched for now. |

Won over 2m1f (good) here last summer and was second here on next two outings (2m6f/3m1f); not at same level this year (four runs) and was tailed off last time (2m1f) but can't be ruled out off current mark. |

27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |

After a break he's been tailed off behind Wee Alki and here on Monday faded into sixth over 2m6f; others preferred. |
