18th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
None too consistent but he's a dual chase winner (2m4f/2m) and was second to the odds-on favourite in a small field last time; shouldn't be far away if giving his true running. |
7/4 |
|
2nd 1 |
2nd Mar 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Lacks consistency but registered a success in a deeper C&D event (good to soft; off just 2lb lower) in December and has possibilities provided he's back in similar form. |
7/4 |
|
4th 7 |
2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Has won twice over fences, over 2m4f at Uttoxeter (soft) in 2024 and over C&D (good to soft) in December; bit disappointing at Fakenham last time but could bounce back. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Five wins include two over fences, the latest at Huntingdon in October (2m4f, good) when 2lb higher; not so good in his five subsequent defeats and record when fresh is modest. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 2 |
22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 2f 208y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won this in 2025 (good to soft) and was also on target at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in October; back on a good mark now and should be fine on today's forecast soft ground but has become far too inconsistent to rely upon. |
6/1 |

4th Nov 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Drew clear on run-in to score by 13l at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) last month, form that was franked by the runner-up over the weekend; not one to rely upon heavily, though. |

19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
12yo who is inconsistent and has been well below his best on his last two starts; however, before those he won at Catterick (3m1f, good) and he's won here twice in the past; not discounted. |
13/2 |

5th 7 |
3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |

Winner at Catterick in December (3m1f, good) but a well-beaten fourth on softer ground over same C&D last time; could bounce back. |
15/2 |
|
4th 6 |
21st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
12yo whose form can be up and down but he's won on his last two visits to Catterick (soft/good), the latest over C&D last month when beating Mersey Street by a short head; he's a player if backing up that effort. |

16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
11-race maiden with six of those coming over fences; mark continues to slide and he has the odd bit of form that suggests he could be competitive, particularly if the tongue-tie/cheekpieces prove a positive addition. |
10/1 |

3rd 1 |
31st Jan 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Runner-up three times as a juvenile hurdler in France but, following a long absence, has not shown a great deal on his four British starts; the last three of those were over fences. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Ran better than finishing position suggests when fifth of seven in first-time blinkers at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft) in August but was quickly back in the doldrums over C&D last month and can't be relied upon. |

16th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Returned to form in new blinkers at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft) last month, where he finished only fifth of seven but was right in the thick of things until fading after the last fence; still on a good mark; shortlisted. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Opened her chase account at the seventh attempt when winning over C&D last month, and didn't have to improve to follow up off 4lb higher back here (2m4f, soft) a fortnight later; shoulders a 7lb penalty in her hat-trick bid, but she remains open to further progress back up in distance; strong contender. |

24th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Stuck on well to beat the market leader (pair clear) in similar event at Leicester (2m6f, heavy) last time, opening her chase account at the seventh attempt; back up 4lb but still looks well treated, including on best hurdles form; respected. |
4/5 |

1st 5 |
12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Scored off 22lb higher over hurdles (2m, soft) in January 2023 but she's not posed a threat since then; still lightly raced in this sphere but she fell on her return to chasing two weeks ago and others are more convincing. |

23rd Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |

0-6 in points, 0-3 over hurdles and has shown pretty much zilch in two runs over fences, both handicaps at 2m4f and 2m. |

8th Feb 2025 Soft 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |

Maiden who achieved nothing at this course in sole outing this term (chase debut and return from long layoff); fitting of headgear needs to make a difference. |

31st Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Effective on all ground but Leicester is his favourite patch; his record elsewhere isn't that solid and twice well held here, as was also the case when tried in blinkers last time at Uttoxeter. |
15/2 |
|
2nd 7 |
14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Particularly effective at Leicester, as best form this season confirms; his record at Uttoxeter isn't as solid; nicely weighted but chance partly depends on how well he responds to new headgear. |
7/1 |
|
4th 4 |
24th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |

Leicester specialist whose good record here features second-place finishes in this contest last year (off 2lb higher) and on latest outing (had wind surgery since); solid claims. |

11st 10lb |
Regularly ridden by Lucy Turner, as when winning twice over 3m at Ludlow (good to soft/soft) last February and again at Uttoxeter (3m, good) in October; good runs have followed and another one is highly likely. |

Won twice over 3m at Ludlow in February and looked back in very good nick when scoring readily by 4l at Uttoxeter (3m, good) this month; recent 6lb rise does not look excessive; respected. |
