9th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Pulled up over fences at Kelso when last seen out having won a Carlisle handicap chase (3m, good) in October; runs over hurdles for the first time for more than two years (C&D winner in October 2023); second run after wind op. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Not really firing on all cylinders since scrambling home by a neck on seasonal debut at Carlisle (3m, good) in October but now 6lb below that mark, and didn't run badly when last of five finishers here (3m2f, good to soft) in March; had another wind op (his third) soon after that latest outing; one to consider. |

11st 5lb |
Last win was off a higher mark and he'll appreciate returning to further after chasing home a good thing over 2m4f at Ayr (soft; fine on good ground); that was a welcome return to form; definite chance if he can back it up. |

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. |

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. |

24th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 3 |
12st 2lb |
Won Grade 2 novice hurdle in February 2024 (2m4f, soft) but chasing didn't go to plan during light campaign last season and she was well beaten when upped to 3m1f for hurdle return in January; this race is much easier but she's not yet proven on good ground and her current ability is hard to gauge; had wind op in February. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
1-6 over fences, the success at Aintree (2m4f) on seasonal debut; seemed a non-stayer in the Welsh National before eventually falling, then ran below form at Cheltenham (2m4f); return to this venue may have a positive effect but he ideally needs assistance from the weather, having gained all wins on soft ground. |
20/1 |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Made much of the running when winning in dominant style at Aintree (2m4f, soft) in December; beaten when falling late on in the Welsh National three weeks later, lack of stamina a possible factor; back to a more suitable trip here but now off a career-high mark and others appeal more. |
