21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Won in the autumn on first two chase starts (2m7f, good/good to soft; including here) then failed to stay 4m here in the Borders National; bounced back with short-head defeat at Wetherby (3m, soft) last month and there can be optimism he'll be fine at this shorter distance; major player. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Failed to settle and reportedly made a respiratory noise at Kelso (4m, soft) in December, when he ran well for a very long way before weakening (pulled up); 2-2 over fences previously (2m7f, good/good to soft) and there could still be mileage in his mark now back down in trip. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Maiden prior to his marked improvement over fences (on good ground) this May-September, including three wins and the first was at this track; he didn't fare so well at Uttoxeter 11 days ago but that was still up with his best form; not dismissed. |
5/1 |

4th 5 |
4th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Maiden prior to posting form figures of 1211 (on good ground) this term, the last two wins at Worcester (2m4f/2m); climbing the weights but possibly has further improvement in him. |
100/30 |
|
1st 2 |
4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Justified good support when off the mark over fences at Fontwell (2m2f, good) in May and, after a solid second next time, doubled his tally over 2m4f here last time despite meeting interference; up 6lb and comes back in trip but he's open to further progress and this looks a good opportunity. |

Lightly raced 6yo; made winning seasonal/stable/chase debut at Southwell in November (2m, soft) and reportedly made a noise when third to Flash In The Park off this 5lb higher mark there the following month; could be given another chance. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Pulled up over fences in May following a break but has reached the frame in all three starts since fitted with a visor this summer, latest back over hurdles at Worcester (2m4f, good) when third to a subsequent winner; shaped as though well worth a try over this longer trip and is a leading contender. |

3rd 4 |
10th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Not seen over hurdles since 2024 but was clear second to a progressive rival over fences here (2m4f, good) in July and switches back to this code on the same mark; no surprise if he features. |
11/4 |

2nd 5 |
22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
His sole success over fences came at Market Rasen (2m1f, soft) last July off 2lb higher; didn't offer a great deal once headed when third at Southwell (2m5f, good) last month in a first-time visor (retained) but has dropped to a career-low mark with Sean Bowen on board so all is not lost. |

20th Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |

Given wind surgery before pulled up this winter in his only two handicaps (bled from the nose on chase debut first occasion) so caution has to be advised. |

9th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |

Pulled up on chase/handicap debut in December (bled from the nose) and now quickly reverts to hurdling; needs to better his jumping form but remains very unexposed, and it's worth remembering he won a bumper in 2022. |

Regressed over hurdles for Dan Skelton and a similar story currently as a chaser; this is no easy race in which to arrest the slide; goes in cheekpieces; 1lb wrong. |

8th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Failed to kick on over hurdles for Dan Skelton after successful at Lingfield (2m) last January; it's been a similar story over fences for his new yard and he came in a remote sixth of ten at Worcester (2m) in July; not easy to warm to. |

Ended his time over hurdles for Dan Skelton under something of a cloud; not disgraced on yard/chasing debut with third in 2m4f handicap here but pulled up in 2m7f handicap chase back here 20 days ago; has something to prove now. |

26th Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Irish point winner; dropped from about 2m4f to 2m for his two handicaps but was pretty disappointing, favourite when tried in cheekpieces last time; now has his tongue tied as well and moves back up in trip. |

3rd Mar 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Still a maiden after 17 starts over hurdles and, despite being on a basement mark in this modest contest, she'll need to improve to break her duck. |

Maiden who made it 0-15 over hurdles when pulled up at a big price at Southwell (3m, good) in June; can only be watched back from a break. |
