25th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 10y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Only 3lb higher than for her narrow C&D win on good ground in March and was odds-on favourite for her return to fences 18 days ago only to depart mid-race; she's probably the one to beat; usual cheekpieces are replaced by an eyeshield. |

7th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Three-time chase winner (once over C&D); lost her way over fences during the winter but battled well for narrow hurdle win here (3m1f, good; front pair well clear) in March and reverts to this code on a good mark. |

18th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Three front-running chase wins in 2024, including over about 3m here; second of five at Ludlow in October but her chase form has gone to pot; latest hurdle performance (four starts back) gives her a place chance. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
In a new visor he won two 3m2f handicap chases at Newton Abbot last August; has looked too high in the weights since then and he's 0-11 as a hurdler; others preferred. |

13th Apr 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Won twice in a visor at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good/good to soft) last summer; untested beyond that trip and absent since respectable second of three in the autumn (without headgear, as today) but current mark is workable if he's fully tuned up. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Struck form in new visor in August, winning twice at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good/good to soft) by clear margins, but suffered big dip in form on next two outings and was unable to land a telling blow when fourth in refitted cheekpieces at Newton Abbot on Saturday (albeit not beaten far in the end); no headgear today. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Made all to win two chase (3m; good to soft and heavy) last winter but he's flopped in his last two starts and latest was at this track in November; still unexposed in this sphere but he needs to get back on track after another break. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Absent since two below-par runs in November but returned from a break to win five-runner contest at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) in September, and is now back on the same mark; seems best on good ground but once won a point on soft; can't be ruled out. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Achieved more on RPRs for his Newton Abbot 3m2f class 5 win last time (good) than Arctic Angel did for hers, despite bleeding from the nose; up just 2lb and he's hugely unexposed as a handicap hurdler. |
2/1 |

29th Sep 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Returned from break to make winning chase/handicap debut at Huntingdon (2m7f, good; first-time cheekpieces) last autumn; absent since falling on consecutive outings during the winter but still enters calculations on this handicap hurdle debut. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
2m4f hurdle and 2m7f chase winner (both good to soft); has struggled with consistency, but a leading player if reproducing his latest third of eight at Exeter last month. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
2m4f hurdle and 2m7f chase winner (both good to soft); versatile regarding going but yet to race on good to firm; on a competitive mark if he can shrug off a lesser effort over C&D latest. |

18th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won three times in early part of year and was back in good nick when close fourth (hampered close home) over C&D (good) last month but may find others better handicapped in this stronger race; cheekpieces refitted. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won three times in early part of this year, most recently here (3m2f, good) in April, but seemed to have gone off the boil on last two outings in May/June and current mark demands a career-best performance. |

29th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Ridden by Robbie David on last eight outings; won four of his 15 races last season, with a stack of place returns as well; latest win was off a 5lb lower mark at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) in April, followed by a creditable second there but he was pulled up at Southwell five weeks ago; has bounced back before but this is a tough race in which to do it. |

Ended last season in poor form but made quite encouraging reappearance when fourth (about 9l behind Ballynaheer) at Hereford (3m1f, good) three weeks ago; on very good mark now and has cheekpieces refitted today; dangerous to ignore. |

10st 7lb |
Won off this mark at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) last April and has run well over this C&D; however, she's struggled to get competitive this season and first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) need to prompt a revival. |
