11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Novice campaign last season went well, notably over the conventional fences here where he registered three handicap wins (2m/2m4f) and was second at this meeting (3m1f); resumed progress with a win at Haydock (3m1f) this January but badly hampered at the Cheltenham Festival; this trip is a big step into the unknown but he needs a second look. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Progressive novice last season, winning three handicaps at Aintree (2m/2m4f, good/good to soft) and posting a good third here (2m4f, soft); won at Haydock (3m1f, good to soft) in January when back up in trip and he's unexposed over staying distances; up 3lb for that neck victory; could go well. |

Three wins at Aintree (2m/2m4f, good/good to soft) last season and second there (3m1f, good) in April; current mark shouldn't be beyond him if he's at his best but that hasn't been the case on his two outings this term. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Ended last year in excellent form over fences, with latest fourth coming behind the seriously progressive Thistle Ask; whereas he's 5-18 in that discipline and only 1-13 over hurdles, he's probably a better horse now than when last seen in this discipline; 5lb lower than his chase mark; front runs. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 85y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
Front-runner who can be tough to reel in on his day and has left his rivals trailing in completing a hat-trick in small fields at about 2m4f (latest in a match); has gone up a collective 20lb but he loves this good ground and looks sure to make a bold bid. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 149y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Front-runner who hasn't offered a great deal since returning from nearly a year out and it's seldom easy for veterans to rediscover their form; however, this is a much easier race than he's accustomed to. |
9/4 |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Free-going nature; no win since landing a Class 3 at Newbury (2m, 13-8 joint-favourite) in March 2023; fell at Cheltenham (80-1) on penultimate start and was equally out of his depth in the Grade 2 Desert Orchid Chase at Kempton over Christmas; this is more realistic. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Good-ground specialist who was a course winner in 2024 and returns here after two good efforts this spring, the latter a close fourth at Aintree (2m4f, good) 16 days ago; respected. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Enjoys good ground; bumped into the enigmatic Numitor on a good day at Hereford last month (2m5f) but this 10yo also struggles with his consistency; he's capable but risky enough. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Enjoys good ground on which he beat the useful Mahons Glory by 8l at Market Rasen in September (2m5f); tailed off since then on either side of a 140-day break but those were strong handicaps; respected. |

Versaatile 10yo with 15 wins on his CV; not firing on all cylinders this season, the last twice over fences, but has dropped to a dangerous hurdle mark and will appreciate this ease in grade. |

Veteran 4-time chase winner; ran with credit over timber at Sligo in July but lacklustre efforts twice, including back over fences last month; still above highest winning mark and easy to look elsewhere. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Reserve; Venetia Williams and Lucy Turner combined to win this at 40-1 in 2022 and this fellow was in pretty good heart over 3m this winter; however, today's stiffer test of stamina poses a question and he was soundly beaten at Ascot (3m, good to soft) last time; wears first-time cheekpieces. |

14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 185y Class 1 |

Has posted consistent efforts over 3m of late but gives the impression he ideally needs a drop back in trip, especially when conditions are testing; yet to win beyond an extended 2m6f. |

31st Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 42y Class 2 |

Has done his winning at up to 2m6f; not disgraced over 3m the last twice but gives the impression he ideally needs a drop back in distance, at least when conditions are testing; strong suspicion he's going to be outstayed. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 67y Class 3 |

C&D winner whose mark continues to fall and he was an encouraging third at Bangor in November following a break; however, this inconsistent 12yo is winless since March 2023 and others arrive with more pressing claims. |
