11st 12lb |
Lightly raced 8yo; twice runner-up over hurdles and, although he never threatened to beat him, his latest Worcester conqueror was Potters Charm who won so well at Cheltenham on Friday; has to be of interest off this mark now sent chasing; should stay 3m. |

Back to around his best on June's second of 14 at Southwell (2m4.5f, good), albeit hanging left for pressure; jumping mishaps either side of that effort have underlined his status of capable but risky. |

All three chase wins in 2023, at 2m3f-2m5f (good and good to soft) so is on a losing run but she's been in good form on soft over the winter and the return to good ground will be appreciated; in the mix. |

Pulled up two runs ago but solid efforts in defeat on either side of that and he's an assured stayer at this trip; the blinkers are new, as were the cheekpieces when third at Kelso last month. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 39y Class 2 |

Strong stayer who was 6lb out of the weights when runner-up in the Scottish Borders National here in December; off the same mark for this but has to bounce back from a pretty poor run at Bangor; cheekpieces added. |

9th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Four-time hurdle winner who made it 0-5 over fences when running no race at Uttoxeter in December; that was on heavy ground but he went well in the mud in 2023 and 2024, and is well handicapped if he can get his act together over fences. |

25th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
In great form over hurdles last winter with four wins at up to 3m2f; has been generally disappointing since last success though, and was pulled up over fences at Leicester (2m6f, soft) in February; still unexposed in this sphere but he needs to bounce back after another break. |

11st 12lb |
Weakened when well-beaten third at Doncaster (3m2f, soft) last month and needs to bounce back; however, he was running very well in defeat otherwise this winter (3m/3m1f, good-soft) and this C&D winner will be in the mix if back on song this afternoon. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 1y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Seems to be adding some consistency to his game and has been bang there in his last three handicap chases (3m-3m1f), latterly chasing home Dartmoor Pirate here; he does look in the grip of the handicapper but he'll probably run well once more. |
7/1 |

2nd 9 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
Three wins during last season's first campaign over fences (2m3f-3m, including on soft) and this front-runner has run well to be placed on his last two starts, most recently when just outstayed over Cheltenham's stiff, extended 3m1f; today's 3m around a flat track could prove ideal. |

Placed in three consecutive chases during the winter (2m7f-3m, good to soft) but this first hurdling start since March 2024 comes after a five-month break, so his fitness must be taken on trust. |

18th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |

Creditable third over C&D (good to soft) in December, after a wind op, and probably bettered that performance when filling same position at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) last month; remains on a workable mark and seems likely to be right in the thick of things again. |

Moved to this yard last season and won three in a row towards the end of last year (2m4f/3m, good to soft/soft); disappointing subsequently but perhaps a break will have helped and he's down to a handy mark; interesting to see how he goes in the betting. |

Won two in a row last May (3m5f/3m3f, good) and returned to form to win at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) last month following a break; this 9yo has never defied a mark this high but it may be within range if he's once more at the top of his game. |

Two wins over fences at about 2m4f (soft and heavy) during early 2024; hasn't matched that in ten starts since and was never competitive when pulled up at Ffos Las (2m, soft) on his reappearance ten days ago; new headgear combination needs to spark a revival. |

Good to see him complete last time and was only about 6l off the winner at Ffos Las (2m3f, heavy), where dropping back in trip helped; now 2lb lower than when a close second over hurdles here last April; may prefer softer ground but interesting otherwise. |
