11st 12lb |
Resurgent 11yo who won three 2m4f chases last season and was creditable second in valuable series final for veterans at Haydock (2m4f, good) last month; can't be ignored in current form. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 7f 199y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
12yo who is without a win since 2021 and is going beyond 3m1f for the first time; however, having dropped down the weights, he took a step back in the right direction when third over Carlisle's stiff 3m recently and his trainer does very well with veterans; not discounted. |

3rd 5 |
8th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Remains without a victory since 2021 and he's been pulled up on his last three runs, most recently in 2m7f Newcastle handicap in January; he's not easy to make a case for. |
14/1 |

27th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
12yo who needs to prove how much ability he retains; however, he's well handicapped on his best 2024 efforts and he may have needed the run at Aintree three months ago following an absence (pulled up); not written off. |

2nd May 2025 Good 2m 0f 62y Class 5 |
12st 1lb |
Placed in the 2022 and 2023 renewals of this race and ran well on occasions in handicaps last year for Gary Hanmer; has changed trainers again but clearly won't be fazed by the demands of this assignment. |
14/1 |
|
4th 2 |
2nd Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
3-17 over fences under rules (6-11 in points); 0-7 in handicap chases for new stable but he is edging down the weights and most of that form gives him a big shout. |

2nd 2 |
14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Veteran who has looked as good as ever for his new stable this season, winning twice (2m5f/3m1f); probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark but reverts to chasing after a respectable hurdle run and is suited by this C&D. |
3/1 |
|
5th 10 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
12yo who has been better than ever over fences this season following a stable switch, with wins at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) and Catterick (3m1f, good to soft); this is a rare run over hurdles but he has a lower mark in this sphere, in which he scored twice in 2020; likes it here; one to consider. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 7 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Won this in 2024 (soft) and he's been better than ever this season following a stable switch, with wins at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) and Catterick (3m1f, good to soft; last time); back up to a career-high mark and he's back up in grade but he could yet have more to offer for this yard; respected. |
