20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
10yo who returned to form with good second of five at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) four weeks ago; he's never gone beyond an extended 2m1f over fences but won at 2m4f over hurdles; possible player if the trip is okay. |

2nd 3 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 214y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Never really got competitive at Haydock last month (race in which Sunnyvilla went close) but is now 2lb lower than when very creditable fifth in competitive Cheltenham handicap (2m, soft) on seasonal debut in November; suited by this track; big player if quickly back on song. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 163y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Dual novice winner over hurdles; paid his way over fences earlier this year (2m-2m4f) but was beaten 21l the last time and now reverts to hurdling off a lower mark (4lb); should be involved. |
5/2 |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Course novice hurdle winner (good to soft) who won over fences at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in May; runner-up over this C&D (good) since and the first and third have both won subsequently; strong claims. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
18th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Opened chasing account at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) last month, despite tending to jump left; moves up from Class 5 today but that recent form has been well advertised by the runner-up since and this switch to a left-handed track may enable a better performance. |

23rd Mar 2024 Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Not firing on all cylinders over fences this season and now reverts to hurdling for first time since March 2022; given very good chance by the handicapper and has conditions to suit but needs 119-day break to have done him good. |
10/1 |
