23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Disappointing on his last few starts and a major turnaround is necessary; however, he's dropped to a dangerous mark and his trainer has an excellent strike-rate at Perth; no surprise if he bounces back. |
15/2 |

1st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Comes with a caution label, having failed to complete the last twice; however, reasonably consistent otherwise so a good effort can't be ruled out; on a workable mark and drops back to 2m4f for the first time this term; has gained all jumps wins at about this trip. |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Promising fourth on reappearance here (3m2f, good to soft) in November and now 4lb lower; however, soundly beaten in Becher Chase next time and pulled up at Windsor (2m6f, soft) recently; has to get back on track. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Winless since May 2023; some sound beatings among his current sequence of frame finishes, but he did run the winner to about 7l at Fakenham latest (2m5f, good to soft) with a next-time winner just behind. |

2nd 1 |
18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 44y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Regressive 8yo who is 0-5 over fences and has been absent since his well-held fourth at Bangor (2m1f, good) last March; might have been refreshed by a layoff but could be considered only if lively in the betting. |

11st 4lb |
Runner-up off a reduced mark at Huntingdon (2m7f, good; first-time blinkers) last April and didn't run badly at Stratford (2m5f, heavy; no blinkers) on next start in October; now back from another absence and he's not as good as he was. |

14th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Went chasing without success but she made a winning return to hurdles at Southwell recently (all three wins at 3m there; heavy and soft); raised 5lb but it remains to be seen if she can be as effective around here. |
7/4 |

1st 4 |
18th Feb 2026 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won this is 2024 (first-time cheekpieces), followed up over C&D (also heavy) seven weeks later and beaten just a neck on only other start here; has been chasing since without success and finished a long way off Asa at Catterick last week (first-time blinkers) but returning cheekpieces, hurdling and this C&D are all reasons to be positive. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Exploited reduced mark under Benjamin Macey at Wetherby (3m, soft) in January and last month's heavy-ground third was perfectly respectable; also suited by much quicker surfaces; probably won't be far away. |
10/1 |

3rd 3 |
1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Back on track off a reduced mark since returning from a break and responded well to Benjamin Macey's urgings to get back up at Wetherby (3m, soft); big run looks on the cards off 4lb higher. |
5/1 |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Twice a soft-ground hurdle winner at up to 3m; lost his way last season and had slipped to a handy mark and was supported before taking a step back in the right direction at Haydock (3m, good) latest; likely player from the same mark. |

22nd Nov 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Launched chasing career with two convincing wins last year (2m5f/2m3f); not much has gone to plan since but she may not have handled the heavy ground on last month's seasonal debut and may yet bounce back; new trip. |

Absent since suffering early mishap at Cheltenham last December but won readily at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft) when fresh a year ago and is only 1lb higher today; must be considered. |
