18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Has won four chases and latest was at Newcastle in October (2m4f, good); well handicapped on that form but he's been disappointing since and was pulled up at Perth two weeks ago. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Possible to forgive last month's stable/seasonal debut, in which she did too much out in front over a trip longer than optimum; more in her favour here, and 2lb below her one winning mark; some appeal. |
12/1 |

5th Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Just 1-13 over fences but she rallied well to finish runner-up off a similar mark at Hereford (2m5f, good) in October; returns for new yard but she has run well when fresh in the past and looks worth another try at this trip; in the mix with Sean Bowen booked. |

10st 3lb |
0-22 in points and 0-19 under rules; not favoured by the weights when well beaten in two novice hurdles this summer and has more realistic chance to get competitive in this race but still makes only limited appeal. |

Inconsistent last season and absent since tame effort in March but won when fresh a year ago, at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft), and begins his new campaign from a good mark. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Not beaten far when last of four in Warwick hunter chase (3m, good) last month but managed only fifth of seven in a subsequent point; back in a handicap chase for stable debut; quite tricky to weigh up at the moment; seems best suited by good ground. |
20/1 |

Sole success came over hurdles in June 2023; last of three finishers at Leicester (2m6f, heavy) in February and beaten three times in points since, including in a match; has his work cut out here. |

7-30 over fences; no win last year but ran creditably twice in the autumn before seemingly reluctant to put his best foot forward in the Abaya Du Mathan race at Southwell on latest start; chance if putting that swiftly behind him. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Well treated on his old form but his last win was in December 2024 and he's finished down the field in his three completed starts this year; cheekpieces now return but he needs to raise his game. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |

Returned from break with two below-par runs towards the end of last season and suffered mid-race mishap on latest outing this month but he has slipped to a good mark and can't be ruled out. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

24th Oct 2024 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 5 |

Placed off reduced mark on consecutive days at Perth (2m4f, good) in September before running no race at Hereford only ten days ago; bit risky on the back of that effort. |
16/1 |

8th 2 |
14th Oct 2024 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Not firing on all cylinders this year but was placed off much-reduced mark on consecutive days at Perth (2m4f, good) last month and has very obvious each-way claims if in similar form again here. |
7/2 |

2nd 7 |
26th Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Three-time chase winner on good ground in 2023 (2m1f-2m5f); had been out of form this year but dropped to a dangerous mark and took second over C&D yesterday, which puts him firmly in the mix again. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Has returned to form of late and gained his fifth chase success, at Ffos Las (3m, good) last month; there was no disgrace in finishing second to a resurgent Tommy Beau at Fakenham (3m5f, good) this month and he holds strong claims while in this form. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 3 |

Revitalised 9yo who won stylishly on good ground over C&D and at Ffos Las (3m) last month; contests a much stronger race today but still needs to be taken very seriously in current mood. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |

In-form 9yo who won four-runner marathon at Fakenham (3m5f, good) in pretty good style last week; also very well suited by this C&D and ground slower than good; respected under 7lb penalty. |

10st 13lb |
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. |

22nd Aug 2024 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |

3rd 5 |
5th Jul 2024 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
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. |
7/1 |
