10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 201y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Plenty to like about his wins in six-runner handicap chases (3m, good to soft) at Doncaster and Exeter; heavy ground might be the excuse when he was hammered by Holloway Queen at Newbury on latest start; has a competitive mark if back on song but going beyond 3m is something new. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Jumped poorly when tailed off in his first chase but has won his last two and had a bit in hand both times; only four got round last time at Exeter (3m, good to soft; has won on heavy) but the handicapper didn't go overboard with a 4lb rise. |

22nd Mar 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Winning pointer and looks a winner waiting to happen under rules, last time holding her own in a 3m Listed race at Doncaster (good to soft); ran well over 2m4f the time before so this trip shouldn't be too big an issue; the one to beat. |

1st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 1 |

Won a point in Ireland; has run well in all four British starts (2m-2m7f) without showing the requisite level of form to be winning this; probably placed at best. |

11st 12lb |
Prolific point winner who's proven inconsistent over hurdles since returning from seven months off; has been doing his racing over further and is some way down the pecking order. |

11st 2lb |
Pulled up over 2m5f/3m2f when moving into handicaps late last year; third in maiden over an extended 2m5f at Market Rasen last month was a step back in the right direction but others have more solid claims; tried cheekpieces then visor for last two starts. |

Bumper winner for Henry Daly in February 2023 (2m, good); runner-up in novice hurdles at Warwick (2m5f, good) and Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) later that year; subsequently off for 305 days and although his comeback was decent he's been pulled up in two handicaps since, the latest with cheekpieces tried (visored this time); has a bit to prove. |
