1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Dual chase winner (2m7f/3m) in autumn of 2024; lightly raced since but he was disputing third when he fell at the last at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) in December; returns after another break but conditions should be fine and he's now 1lb lower than for his last win; respected. |

Couple of poor efforts in the spring but commenced last term (and chase career) with two wins, including on good ground at Ascot; this reappearance may be the time to catch him. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 185y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Overall chase record of 2-16; dug deep to win over a trip just shy of 3m at Lingfield (soft; 5lb lower) and 3m6f on heavy found him out at Exeter a month ago; may prefer softer ground in an ideal world but hard to rule out. |

20th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
2-2 on heavy going (one in Britain); first chase win was in France in 2022 and it was his 12th attempt in a British chase when he finally won one at Lingfield (extended 2m7f, soft) last month; back up 5lb for this first appearance beyond 3m1f, so others appear more solid. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
None too consistent but he has won five times over fences, latest at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) in February off 3lb lower; beaten a neck back there off this mark last month and his best chance of further success is perhaps back at that venue. |
9/2 |

31st Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |

None too consistent but he has won five times over fences and nearly made that six last time at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft); he's handicapped about right but needs considering. |
9/2 |

2nd 3 |
9th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |

Five-time chase winner, most recently over C&D (soft) last month; remote when third at Huntingdon eight days ago and not one to rely upon nowadays but he's still on a good mark if in the right mood. |

12st 0lb |
None too consistent but he's a dual chase winner (2m4f/2m) and was second to the odds-on favourite in a small field last time; shouldn't be far away if giving his true running. |

2nd Mar 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Lacks consistency but registered a success in a deeper C&D event (good to soft; off just 2lb lower) in December and has possibilities provided he's back in similar form. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |

Won three times in early part of year and was back in good nick when close fourth (hampered close home) over C&D (good) last month but may find others better handicapped in this stronger race; cheekpieces refitted. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won three times in early part of this year, most recently here (3m2f, good) in April, but seemed to have gone off the boil on last two outings in May/June and current mark demands a career-best performance. |
5/1 |

29th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Ridden by Robbie David on last eight outings; won four of his 15 races last season, with a stack of place returns as well; latest win was off a 5lb lower mark at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) in April, followed by a creditable second there but he was pulled up at Southwell five weeks ago; has bounced back before but this is a tough race in which to do it. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Experienced chaser with a good strike rate (9-48 and placed on 20 other occasions); returned from a winter break not far off his best recent form when 1l second at Ffos Las (2m3f, good) last month; up 2lb but should again be thereabouts. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 4 |

14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |

9th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
1-10 over fences, the win gained over 3m2f on heavy at Fontwell a year ago; competitive in three of his four races this season and has a solid chance; first run in a tongue-tie. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Off the mark over fences in four-runner C&D (heavy) contest in February; signed off with poor performance in April and may not find today's ground slow enough but probably still has more to offer over staying trips this season and the booking of Sean Bowen catches the eye. |
8/1 |

16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Lightly raced but he's going the right way over fences and was a convincing winner of a four-runner race at Fontwell (3m2f, heavy; up 4lb) in February; has missed engagements when the ground was good, including one last month, but enters calculations if this surface is thought suitable. |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Only his third run over fences when forging clear at Huntingdon (2m7f, soft) in January; that resulted in a 10lb rise but he was only 9-2 when departing early at Taunton; seemingly on the upgrade. |
7/2 |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
All the sharper for his Hereford reappearance when making it third time lucky over fences in 2m7f Huntingdon handicap (soft) three weeks ago, forging 15l clear; that resulted in a 10lb rise but he should remain competitive if in the same form. |
9/2 |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |

Temporary switch to front-running over a sharp 3m netted him a Southwell hurdle off this mark in May 2024 (soft), but rather lost in the crowd in big-field chases on only two starts since; tongue tie off. |

Won over hurdles for Henry Daly here (2m5f, soft) last April and could appreciate the return to this sphere on today's stable debut (bought for £4,000); however, he was pulled up over fences in the autumn on his last two runs and there's a question mark regarding his current form. |

Ended last season with a hurdle win at Wincanton (2m5f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) in April; pulled up on chase debut at Worcester (2m7f, soft) last month but that was without headgear and he may have needed the run; should have a future in this sphere and he needs watching in market with cheekpieces reapplied. |

Came good with ready win on seasonal debut at Lingfield (2m7f, good), despite jockey losing irons, and held clear lead before penultimate-fence fall over C&D (soft) last month; has to take a 6lb rise on the chin but still features prominently in calculations. |
