13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Two-time chase winner who was a 9l second in this race 12 months ago (good); gets a pull in the weights with the winner Brandy McQueen from their clash at Catterick (3m1f, good) last month but he was soundly beaten in second and has work to do today. |

4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Won over hurdles and twice over fences for Tom Ellis in 2024 (3m, good/good to soft); won a four-runner point for this yard in January but well beaten last time; has no easy task |

2nd 2 |
14th Apr 2025 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Twice a 3m chase winner at Fakenham before bagging the hat-trick in 3m Southwell handicap hurdle in November; pulled up on final two handicap chase runs for Tom Ellis but still considered for in-form new yard here. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Landed his sole win off this mark at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last June but has been tailed off on his last two starts; would be considered if operating at his best but needs to sharpen up. |
7/1 |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Just the one win in 22 starts but three decent runs when placed prior to a below par effort when tailed off at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft) last month; his poor win record does not inspire. |
6/1 |

4th 4 |
16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Back in form since pulling up twice earlier in the season, reaching the frame on his last three starts, most recently at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) in January when third of seven, beaten just under 6l; place claims off an unchanged mark. |

19th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Lacked fluency when fourth in two 3m Fakenham chases this autumn and now reverts to hurdling; will be suited by today's drop back in trip, though, and and won't mind the forecast rain; can exploit a favourable mark. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
2m5f good-ground winner last summer off 6lb higher; hardly consistent though and never went a yard at Warwick last month; now tries cheekpieces. |

5th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Scored at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last June and was in contention before penultimate-fence fall at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) in December but last season's record was rather mixed and we haven't seen him since a poor performance in January. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Last win came in December 2024 off 6lb higher; hasn't been firing on all cylinders recently but is down to a career-low mark and cannot dismiss. |
7/1 |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Returned from three-month break with respectable fourth here (2m3f, soft) in March last time and will be fine over this longer trip, but he's not really been firing on all cylinders since last summer; others appeal more. |
14/1 |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Seemingly aided by addition of cheekpieces when making the frame three consecutive times (2m7f-3m) towards end of last year but still wasn't really firing on all cylinders; should be fine over this shorter trip but the headgear is missing today and he needs to have been refreshed by his three-month break. |
