26th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Posted three wins over fences in the winter of 2024-25, all at around this trip, and staged a revival when third at Fontwell (2m4f, good; Begin The Luck second) three weeks ago; back up in class but on a winnable mark and he's one to consider with the stable among the winners. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
His form took off with three wins over fences last winter; however, his good run came to a halt at Stratford last March and he was tailed off again on his comeback at Haydock (2m45f, good) last month; has some questions to answer and he needs to get back on track. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
His form took off with three wins over fences last winter; however, his good run came to an abrupt halt at Stratford last March and he hasn't been seen since; no great record fresh to date but the betting is perhaps the best guide to his chance. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Has returned from a break in good form, building on an encouraging reappearance when adding a third chase win at Warwick (2m4f, good) last month; 8lb higher now and may be vulnerable, but likely to be involved again. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

On a fairly tough mark but otherwise has plenty in his favour and ran a solid second over C&D last time; every chance. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Below par when last seen in August but ran pretty well in his previous two races, including here; has plenty in his favour, other than a tough enough mark. |

11st 11lb |
Rather in and out this season but he beat two other finishers in 2m4f contest on heavy ground here in February, and that success was no bolt from the blue; more is required off a career-high mark but the step back up in trip should suit and Freddie Mitchell's claim is a plus. |

10st 3lb |
0-22 in points and 0-19 under rules; not favoured by the weights when well beaten in two novice hurdles this summer and has more realistic chance to get competitive in this race but still makes only limited appeal. |
