10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Seven-time chase winner who developed into a useful performer last season; below form at Uttoxeter recently and tricky to weigh up over hurdles but still looks tempting, given he's 27lb lower in this sphere. |
5/1 |

28th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Chase record is 7-20, the most recent success in veterans' contest at Ascot (3m, good) in March; couple of sound efforts since demonstrate that he remains in form aged ten; faces a tougher assignment off current mark in this field, however. |

3rd 4 |
4th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Made all in three-runner contest at Ascot (3m, good) in March and arguably bettered that form when close/clear second at Haydock (3m1f, good to soft) last month; might be a shade vulnerable off new mark but at least we know he's in excellent nick. |

Dug deep to win low-grade Fontwell handicap (3m2f, good) for Anthony Honeyball last spring but has struggled in both points for new stable this year and faces another tough task here. |

Three-time chase winner, most recently when holding on well at Fontwell (3m2f, good) in May; bumped into a massive improver when well-held second at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good; first-time binkers) this month; ought to be on the premises again here. |

Just 1-10 over fences but ran well in defeat in first-time blinkers at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) in August and was placed (over hurdles) on both previous visits to Hereford; no surprise if he features. |

5th Jul 2024 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |

1-8 over fences and mostly running well but he can throw in the odd modest effort and wasn't at his best behind Doctor Foley at Fontwell in May last time out; could well leave that effort behind back today and he needs considering. |

Only 1-16 over fences but it was his first run after wind surgery when coming from off the pace for a closing third at Bangor (3m, good) last week; that's something to build on and Sean Bowen is back. |

3rd 8 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Came good with narrow win off lowly mark at Stratford (2m6f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in September but last month's reappearance run was disappointing; given another wind op (his second) since; others are more persuasive. |

10st 2lb |
Won off a lowly mark at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft) in summer 2024, but his form this spring was not particularly inspiring and he's 8lb out of the weights on this first appearance in five months. |

19th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
The last of four chase wins was in August 2024; she's building some momentum after a long absence having pushed Edgewell close over C&D a month ago; that was under a 10lb claimer but she has to be considered. |
7/2 |

2nd 5 |
23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Four-time chase winner (once over C&D); soundly beaten over hurdles in February, after a long absence, and didn't achieve much when third of four at Fakenham (2m7f, good) in April; reverts to chasing on a good mark but her current ability is hard to gauge. |
12/1 |

13th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Well handicapped on 2024 hurdle/chase form and shaped with a fair but more promise than eventual 40l defeat might suggest at Sedgefield (3m3f, good to soft) in February, after a long absence; ought to be better suited by the forecast faster ground here; interesting. |

Four-time chase winner and has been in good form since May barring his penultimate race; never far away when runner-up at Bangor last week (3m, good) and must have every chance once more. |
8/1 |

2nd 5 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Four-time chase winner; returned from break with three good efforts this spring, including a C&D third (good), but looked very laboured when well beaten at Southwell 17 days ago; needs to bounce back. |
8/1 |

9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |

Four-time chase winner; no longer the force of old but returned from break with three placed runs last month, losing out only by a short head at Fontwell (3m2f, good) last time; can make his presence felt again. |

Irish point winner in 2022 and made winning British/hurdle debut that November but something amiss when pulled up early two weeks later; weak in the market when pulled up back from absence at Hereford in May on handicap debut and can only be watched on chase debut; cheekpieces added. |

Five-time chase winner, most recently at Windsor (3m, good to soft) in the autumn; back on a good mark now but he's not easy to predict and has been pulled up on two of his last three outings (bled from the nose last time); others preferred. |
