25th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 146y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Won this race (good ground) last year in first-time cheekpieces off a 10lb lower mark; first and second in two small fields this season, alongside two heavy defeats in top handicaps; tried blinkers when fading right out of it at the Cheltenham Festival last time and now reverts to cheekpieces; also back on firmer ground but a new career best is needed. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Won the bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown (extended 3m4f, good) last April in first-time cheekpieces and returned to form when second at Windsor (2m6f, soft) in January; his jumping can sometimes lack fluency but, with first-time blinkers replacing the cheekpieces, he has an each-way chance if minimising the mistakes; fourth of 18 in the NH Chase here (3m6f, good to soft) last March. |

18th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 6f 50y Class 2 |

Won the bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown (3m4f, good) last April and reappeared with Listed Intermediate win at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft); also effective on soft ground; however, soundly beaten in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury (3m2f, good to soft) last time and has something to find today. |

13th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Ran really well in defeat in some strong Cheltenham handicaps (2m4f-3m1f) during the first half of last season and his Kempton effort in February wasn't too shoddy; what needs forgiving is his Ayr run after a wind operation as that was underwhelming; still looks dangerous. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
He hasn't quite been at the top of his game on his last two starts; however, he's had wind surgery since and is certainly of interest on his two third-place finishes at Cheltenham in the autumn (3m1f/2m4f, good/soft); top trainer has won five of the last eight runnings of this race. |
7/2 |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 8lb |
Won twice as a novice chaser over 3m at Sandown (soft/good); has been running well in some strong Cheltenham handicaps this season without looking that well handicapped, but returning to a right-handed track might benefit him, as might the first-time cheekpieces; could also have this run to suit if he's held up as usual; effective from 2m4f to 3m1f, he's a big player. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Two chase wins at about 2m4f in early 2024 (soft and good); has not found life easy this winter but 3m found her out on her latest start (first-time tongue-tie; cheekpieces now added) and the return to shorter on good ground should suit; bold bid likely. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has won twice over fences, both over 2m4f; fair third in a mares' handicap at Ludlow last time (2m4f, soft); could go well but perhaps better at shorter. |
9/4 |

3rd 6 |
18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 11y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
10yo whose losing sequence is up to 13 after disappointing run at Windsor (2m4f, soft) latest; however, she was runner-up on final two outings in 2025 (2m4f/3m1f, good to soft/soft) and might not be far away if back on song. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Ran quite well in the Pertemps Final and then runner-up in a big field handicap here in April (2m4f, good to soft; in this new headgear combination), improving on his fifth place the previous season; also ran second to Fingal's Hill in this 12 months ago; has nothing in hand off his mark but every chance of being involved. |

2nd 21 |
10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Ran respectably in this race 12 months ago (fifth off 3lb higher) and Cheltenham Festival handicap (3m) latest start; otherwise an exposed 8yo who is on a two-year losing spell; unlikely to come out on top. |
14/1 |

9th 24 |
12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
10st 3lb |
Last won in April 2024; well beaten in the 2m5f handicap here last March; second to Absolutely Doyen at Wincanton (3m, good to soft) at Christmas was best effort this term; ran creditably in the Lanzarote at Kempton (2m5f) next time, before a modest show at Plumpton latest; others look more solid. |

Defied top weight in Class 4 handicap at Market Rasen last time, taking chase record to 3-6; she's 2-2 at Perth but this looks a difficult task; first run beyond 2m5f under rules. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Better known as a hurdler and has had some jumping issues over fences (even when he won) but he kept on well for clear second in first-time cheekpieces at Stratford (2m6f, good) six weeks ago and gets another chance off the same mark here. |
9/4 |

2nd 1 |
28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Scored over fences at Doncaster (2m3f) last term; in good nick without winning over hurdles this season until 17th in Pertemps Hurdle at Cheltenham 16 days ago; back chasing here with cheekpieces fitted and no forlorn hope. |
5/2 |
|
17th 10 |
12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
Did well at 2m3f-2m5f when reverting to hurdles for his last three starts last season; not quite so good this term and he did not shout stamina when upped to 3m for last two outings; others have more compelling claims. |
25/1 |
