22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Experienced chaser with a good strike rate (9-48 and placed on 20 other occasions); returned from a winter break not far off his best recent form when 1l second at Ffos Las (2m3f, good) last month; up 2lb but should again be thereabouts. |

2nd 5 |
21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Gained five of his nine chase wins at this track (2m/2m3f) but absent since below-par run in October and still on a fairly tough mark. |
10/1 |

14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Multiple winner but went up 6lb for beating four rivals at Fontwell (2m3f, good) and was only fourth off this mark next time, though merely 2l behind the winner; could be vulnerable again. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Creditable second behind well-handicapped rival here (2m, soft) in November and will be fine over today's longer trip but has become far too inconsistent to rely upon, and needs first-time cheekpieces to help him rebound from a poor run over fences a fortnight ago. |
7/1 |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Mixed results over hurdles this term; chase record reads 24FPP; returns to this sphere looking well treated on best form but it's difficult to know what to expect from him. |
12/1 |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Proven on deep ground and has run well here over 2m-2m4f; failed to complete on his last three starts (all here) last winter; returns on a handy mark and has won when fresh, so he could be involved if revived. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Winless since May 2023; some sound beatings among his current sequence of frame finishes, but he did run the winner to about 7l at Fakenham latest (2m5f, good to soft) with a next-time winner just behind. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 44y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Regressive 8yo who is 0-5 over fences and has been absent since his well-held fourth at Bangor (2m1f, good) last March; might have been refreshed by a layoff but could be considered only if lively in the betting. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Has returned to form of late and gained his fifth chase success, at Ffos Las (3m, good) last month; there was no disgrace in finishing second to a resurgent Tommy Beau at Fakenham (3m5f, good) this month and he holds strong claims while in this form. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 9 |
4th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Revitalised 9yo who won stylishly on good ground over C&D and at Ffos Las (3m) last month; contests a much stronger race today but still needs to be taken very seriously in current mood. |
5/1 |
|
1st 6 |
21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
In-form 9yo who won four-runner marathon at Fakenham (3m5f, good) in pretty good style last week; also very well suited by this C&D and ground slower than good; respected under 7lb penalty. |

12th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Three-time chase winner (at up to 3m) who was runner-up over hurdles at Southwell (2m4f, good) in March but he's inconsistent and made it 0-10 over hurdles when tailed off at Perth (2m4f, good) last month; needs to bounce back; non-runner when due to wear these blinkers for the first time 5:47 Southwell Monday. |
5/1 |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |

Won off 7lb higher over fences here (3m, good to soft) last April; 0-9 over hurdles but runner-up in this discipline at Southwell (2m4f, good) last month; one of two for trainer with a good record in the race; chance. |

15th May 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won a big-field maiden hurdle at Exeter (2m2f, heavy) in January but he's been disappointing since including in two handicaps at Exeter; still unexposed over hurdles but he was beaten 52l last time and has questions to answer at this new trip. |

Had been struggling but bounced back for a fourth chase success at Lingfield two weeks ago (2m, soft; made most); wouldn't be certain to repeat that form but clear claims if he can off 5lb higher. |

10th Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Respectable second at Ludlow (2m, good to soft; 10lb lower today) in December but the rest of his chase form is poor and he fell early when tried in first-time cheekpieces on latest start, which are fitted again. |

Ran respectably behind Famoso over C&D in December but the rest of his chase form is poor; chance largely depends on how well he responds to first-time cheekpieces; 7lb out of weights. |
