23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
He was off his last winning mark when always prominent and doing it readily over C&D last time; should be a factor off 6lb higher. |
8/1 |

1st 3 |
10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Hasn't always needed as many as two runs back to hit his straps, so arguably has a bit to prove now having posted only well-beaten thirds on his two starts this summer; has returned to his last winning mark, though. |

3rd 4 |
16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Long in the tooth and rather inconsistent nowadays but only 2lb higher than for course win (2m5f, good) in October and might have needed the run when well-held third (behind Two To Tango) over that trip here last month; could have a say. |

2nd 4 |
29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Gained two of his nine chase wins over C&D; didn't find that much after travelling strongly here (2m5f, good) six weeks ago but was still only beaten about 4l; drops back in trip with Sean Bowen taking over from an amateur; must be considered. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 2 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Nine-time chase winner including twice at Cartmel; didn't fire at Worcester in May but that was after a close second at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) and he's a player if he can recapture that form; not ruled out for yard that won this last year. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Made light of a five-month absence when gaining a third chasing win in his last four runs in 2m Warwick handicap in May; up 5lb but not taken lightly. |
11/4 |
|
1st 8 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Won at Southwell (2m, good) in October but looked set to be second when left in the lead at Bangor; however, only 2lb higher now and he reportedly finished lame in November on his final run. |
13/2 |
|
1st 3 |
27th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Watch the weather as all his best form is on good ground, including latest comfortable win at Southwell (2m); could deal with the 6lb rise under suitable conditions. |

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. |
9/4 |
|
1st 2 |
3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
On a fairly tough mark but otherwise has plenty in his favour and ran a solid second over C&D last time; every chance. |
6/4 |
|
2nd 5 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
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. |

14th Nov 2024 Good To Firm 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Ten chase wins since last seen over hurdles in 2020, the latest when digging deep at regular haunt Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in August; below-form fourth of five at Wincanton last time but still looks the main threat to Tuxedo Junction. |

17th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 145y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Unlucky to come to grief in early stages at Ludlow last month (first-time blinkers, retained) and remains on a good mark but this regressive and inconsistent 7yo is now 0-10 over fences. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Has proved unreliable but he resumed winning ways at Uttoxeter (2m) in July and followed up with another 2m handicap win there 30 days ago, overhauling Ocean Heights late on; not taken lightly in his current mood. |
5/1 |

1st 6 |
24th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Resumed winning ways (in a change of headgear) in C&D handicap 17 days ago; he's not always proved the most reliable so needs to back it up now from a 5lb higher mark. |
3/1 |
|
1st 9 |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Proven winner who had lost his way but got back on track with a near miss at Worcester (2m, good) 20 days ago; just 2lb higher but the new blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) cast some doubts. |
