27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
3-6 over fences, the latest win gained at Kempton (2m4f, soft; made all) in February; needs to return from seven-month break in prime form to have any chance off current mark but the forecast good ground won't be a problem. |

15th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Only 1-10 as a chaser but he's a consistent gelding who ran another solid race to finish third in the Eider, albeit about 20l behind the easy winner Knockanore; likely to give his running once more but looks vulnerable off just 1lb lower. |

22nd Feb 2025 Good To Soft 4m 1f 56y Class 2 |

towards rear, headway on outer 19th, went fourth and no impression 3 out, left in third run-in |

31st Jan 2025 Soft 3m 4f 178y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Acts on soft, below form sole start on heavy; won over these fences in November 2023; no joy since but career-best form this season and he stuck to his task very well with the first-time cheekpieces over the extended 3m1f at Wincanton on latest start; going beyond that now looks worth a go. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Won this race off today's mark in 2023 but has become very inconsistent in the meantime; arguably ran better than eventual 21l defeat suggests when third of seven at Uttoxeter (3m, good; first run after wind op) last month but it's hard to tell whether he'll be on a going day here. |

3rd 5 |
16th Sep 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Useful at his best but has regressed and become very inconsistent; returned from layoff with two disappointing efforts this season and needs subsequent wind op to enable a revival; raced mainly on good/good to soft ground. |
10/1 |

6th 1 |
24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Became very inconsistent last season and was pulled up (stopped quickly) last month, after a break; on a good mark and might be boosted by refitted cheekpieces but it's hard to predict whether he'll be in the right mood. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Winner at Market Rasen in June (2m5f, good; first-time hood; three ran); hasn't run as well since, having been pulled up at Newbury on latest chase run and then tailed off on the AW; bit to prove. |
9/1 |

5th 1 (5) |
5th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Fairly useful chaser who is 5-17 in that sphere, but he was a big price on Flat debut at Goodwood (1m6f maiden) two weeks ago and finished a well-held fourth of seven; that wasn't bad after a slow start but this is a daunting task in this Listed event and he has stacks to find on the figures. |

27th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Pulled up in his final two runs last year but he returned after wind surgery with a front-running win at Fontwell (2m3f, good; 22-1) this month; this is a different test but he won over fences here (3m2f) last spring and 3lb rise for that last success looks fair; respected. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Four-time chase winner who was out of sorts when last seen in the autumn, most recently when pulled up on return to hurdling; had another wind op (his fourth) during 168-day break; needs to get career back on track. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Brings very strong credentials to this series final, having posted sound performances over C&D (good to soft) in last two starts, comfortably defying top weight latest; 2-6 overall for current yard; respected. |

1st 1 |
8th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Back in good form for his current yard, landing 3m handicap chase at Wetherby in December and posting a good second of seven over C&D last time; very much one to consider off an unchanged mark. |
