11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
Ascot specialist who was second there in November off today's mark and he was in contention when unseating five out at Sandown in January; however, good runs were scarce in 2025 and he's been soundly beaten on all four visits here; tenth in this last year; blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

31st Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 99y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Has lacked consistency since completing a five-timer in 2024; best effort this term when second at Ascot on penultimate start; on last winning mark, so holds a fighting chance provided he's in top form. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 219y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
His jumping has been an issue this season and he was soundly beaten at Newbury last time; however, two starts ago he was a close second of four there (2m, good to soft) and he has a good record at this track; might not be far away if finding some fluency. |
4/1 |

3rd 2 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 92y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Almost as good as ever this season and he kept on well when 1l second of four over C&D (good to soft) three weeks ago; a repeat of that form would see him go close, with a tongue-strap added for the first time in Britain, but a losing sequence is developing and he tends to make mistakes. |
7/4 |

2nd 1 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 92y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Resurgent in first-time blinkers when second to an improver at Sandown in January (good; fine on soft) and fell midrace back there last time; it's surprising to see cheekpieces back on (beaten 10l in December when tried in them once before) but he has a big effort in him off this mark. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Front-runner who was 11l third of 15 at Aintree (2m, good to soft) nine days ago when bidding to win that race for the third consecutive year (wins on soft/good); his last five wins have come in the month of April and there can be optimism that he will make another bold bid; third in this in 2024. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 7 |
9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
His exploits earlier in the season aren't of much concern given his last five wins have come in the month of April, including the last two runnings of this race (soft/good to soft; has also won on good); this prominent racer did it comfortably 12 months ago and is just 3lb higher today; could once more take all the beating. |

18th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 37y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
Hasn't found his form this term and that may well continue until winter is out, as he's essentially a spring horse; gained last five wins in the month of April. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 203y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Still on a good mark despite winning twice this season (2m/2m4f; soft/good) and was 11-2 for the veterans' final over C&D earlier this month, only to depart early; has a lot in his favour so merits each-way consideration. |
16/1 |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Two wins this season (2m/2m4f, soft/good) and 10l third behind an 8yo and a 7yo at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft) in January; 20l fourth in another competitive handicap at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) in February but that form is working out well and he's back against fellow veterans today; chance. |
11/1 |

4th 9 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Has a solid record (1313) over 2m/2m4f this season but gained the wins in Class 3 and finished 10l behind a couple of younger rivals, albeit not disgraced, in Class 1 at Cheltenham most recently; the 10yo looks under some pressure kept to this level. |

21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Quirky customer who tends to idle when striking the front and needs to be produced with a well-timed challenge; on a good mark now and Kielan Woods knows his foibles well but he's seemingly on the downgrade and always comes with extra risk. |

5th 4 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 78y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Back in better form, albeit wilted a bit late on, at Wetherby (1m7f, soft) last time and remains below last winning mark but continues to carry risk, being a quirky sort. |

23rd Nov 2024 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Successful in Ireland and France; 2-2 since joining the George/Zetterholm stable, both wins in handicaps at Auteuil (2m3f/2m2f, heavy; hurdle/chase) in emphatic style; interesting contender in current form. |

15th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
His only win over fences (1-4) came on a right-handed track but he tends to jump left and got away with it in that novice chase; could upgrade his ninth place in the 2m4f handicap at Cheltenham but, even so, this company demands a good jolt of improvement on that form. |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 219y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Has been well out of form since returning in September from a break and has offered little switched to hunter chases this year; now back in handicap company for his leading stable and down to a potentially workable mark, but recent efforts temper enthusiasm. |
2/1 |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
Odds-on third in this race last year before comfortably making all in Stratford hunter chase (2m1f, good) in May; hasn't got near the latter form in eight starts since September however and latest pulled up, despite attracting some support, was a third non completion in a row; others look safer. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
He was in better form when runner-up in this last year having won his previous race; very disappointing when pulled up back here just before Christmas and then unseated at Ludlow when 33-1; hard to trust right now. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 2f 208y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Not firing on all cylinders this season but significant positives can be drawn from his recent third at Wincanton (1m7f, heavy), where he made good headway to challenge in the home straight; remains on a good mark; interesting. |

3rd 5 |
14th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Effective at 2m on heavy ground but his last win was two years ago; well handicapped on old form but he's been well held in his last three runs and needs to get back on track. |

5th 3 |
26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Both chase wins came when trained by Richard Bandey; tailed off over hurdles here (2m3f, soft) last month and back over fences at Exeter (2m1f, good to soft) 17 days ago; down to a career-low mark but has it all to prove. |
