18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
10st 4lb |
Consistent chaser who was better than ever in dominating a small field at Fakenham two runs back (2m5f185yds, good); didn't run badly in defeat last time and off a light weight he could have a part to play. |
20/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Made it 4-15 over fences when forging clear to win by 9l at Fakenham (2m5f, good) last month; that was in a small field but he hit a personal best with that success and a 4lb rise looks fair enough; respected. |
11/8 |

1st 3 |
31st May 2026 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
3-14 over fences, the latest win gained at Wincanton (2m4f, good) in November; just a respectable third at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good) this month, his second start after a layoff, and remains on fairly tough mark but still enters calculations. |

3rd 1 |
26th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Largely reliable veteran and a three-time winner since December, latterly over C&D in April; touched off at Fontwell 20 days ago, with I Shut That d'Or about 5l back in third; nudged up 1lb but likely to make his presence felt again. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
6th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Veteran who has won three times over fences since December including at Plumpton (2m4f, good) 17 days ago; that was in a small field and his main rival made a bad mistake at the last but he still looks feasibly treated and is versatile ground-wise; respected. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |

Reliable sort who scored at Leicester (2m4f) in March; not discredited when fifth in 2m5f handicap chase at Newton Abbot 15 days ago so ought to be in the shake-up eased 1lb. |

10st 11lb |
2-19 over fences, his second success coming at Huntingdon in November 2021; has been struggling for a while and the combination of market support, Sean Bowen and a career-low mark failed to spark a revival last time; dropped another 2lb and the blinkers replace other headgear. |

His sole success came back in 2021 but he showed more than of late when fifth of 11 in 2m6f Stratford handicap chase three weeks ago; more is required from 5lb out of the handicap however. |

25th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Two wins at around 2m4f on good ground include one here a year ago; he did score over 3m in a point in 2022, but two weakening efforts in the spring took his rules record beyond 2m5f to 6664; blinkers go on. |

5th 3 |
20th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
C&D winner who has dropped 3lb below his last winning mark, but modest in two starts since returning in March as when around 40l behind Cloudy Wednesday at Fakenham (3m, good) last month; has undergone wind surgery since then and interesting to see how he fares with a first-time tongue-tie joining the cheekpieces. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
In cracking form this season, with three wins and a second, until however he went down by 25l at Bangor (good) on latest start; maybe the ground that day was not soft enough; major player if bouncing straight back. |
13/2 |

6th 10 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
A lot more exposed than many in here but he's been in cracking form since returning from an absence and his defeat at Leicester was no backward step (2m4f, good to soft); firmly in the mix. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Has thrived since returning from a break in December, winning two of his three runs over hurdles before adding a third win of the season reverting to fences at Market Rasen (2m3f, soft) last month, each time under Benjamin Macey; he's up 4lb for last time but is very much a leading contender in current form. |

Mainly out of form since winning 2m7f handicap hurdle at Bangor in August 2023 (good); two fair runs over fences last summer (has won a point); hard to fancy. |

28th Aug 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
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. |

2nd 4 |
23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |

0-22 in points and 0-17 under rules; placed a few times off lowly marks in handicap chases in 2023/24 and also in points this year but another minor role is probably his best hope. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Better known as a pointer, adding two more in the spring, and her challenge didn't last long over C&D three weeks ago; up against it from out of the weights. |

4th 10 |
11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Won two four-runner points this spring but has poor record under rules (0-14) and makes only limited appeal here. |
