10th Dec 2024 Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Excels around Cartmel, completing a hat-trick when successful at that venue on final start in August 2022; returns off the same mark but wellbeing is clearly an unknown; market could be informative. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Good fourth over C&D (soft) in November and outstayed next-time-out winner Jalisco Star when scoring at Fontwell (3m2f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; still on workable mark after latest 2lb rise; likely contender again. |

19th Apr 2025 Soft 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Took a hiding at the weights for Newbury win (2m4f, heavy) last March; he's run to a similar level in defeat twice since but was pulled up at Fontwell in February and 3m2f may be further than he wants to go. |

22nd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Now 3lb lower than for Ffos Las win (3m, heavy) in December 2023 but this season was a major struggle even before he clipped heels and fell early on latest outing; overall score is 2-40, with 32 of those races over hurdles. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Completed a hat-trick in late 2024 (including a walkover) but has largely struggled off higher marks since and signed off for Olly Murphy with a couple of modest efforts, including in cheekpieces last time; 3lb lower than for his latest success but needs the change of scenery to spark a revival. |

28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Still to get his head in front in this sphere but he comes here on the back of a fair fifth of eight in 3m1f handicap at Wincanton last time; this three-time hurdles scorer is in the mix with cheekpieces fitted for the first time. |
11/2 |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Career-best RPR but not at all fluent when third at Wetherby in December (3m, soft), and lasted just two fences on sole run since; has neither trip nor ground issues and mark remains competitive, so just a case of whether he returns more fleet of foot following two months out. |

9th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Pulled up in his only attempts at chasing the last twice; five-time winning hurdler who's not on an impossible mark but would prefer softer ground. |

25th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 3m 2f 13y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Gained three of his five hurdle wins at this track (2m4f/2m7f) but looked out of sorts and was pulled up here (2m4f, good to soft) on recent chasing debut; should be fine over today's trip but needs to rebound. |

Both handicap wins have come over 3m1f at Huntingdon; no closer than fifth this season but has been getting nearer, last time beaten 11l at Uttoxeter. |

Both handicap wins have come over 3m1f at Huntingdon; hard to be confident on this season's two showings but not badly handicapped if staging a revival. |

Improving mare who did it fairly easily last month at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft; won on soft) and the second in that race has run well since; could take a further 10lb rise in her stride. |

Shrugged off a 10lb rise to win on her reappearance at Ffos Las (3m, good to soft) last month to land her third successive win in completed starts; up another 6lb but has scope and may well follow up. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Unraced beyond 3m2f but should stay further than that; 15l winner of a major 3m handicap at Kempton last February but he's found his revised mark a bit too tough since (close second to Herakles Westwood at Cheltenham on New Year's Day) and is still 10lb higher today; others are a bit more persuasive. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
Always wears a tongue-tie; on a sharp upward curve when taking this 12 months ago by some 15l (on good to soft); makes his defence off an 11lb higher mark but on the back of a return to form at Cheltenham (in cheekpieces; wore a visor in this last year); course form here always ticks a big box and can run well again. |
5/1 |

11th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
Won in January in his first two chases (3m/3m2f, soft/heavy) then lacked fluency over his fences when second at Wincanton (3m2f, good to soft); bar one small blip he jumped much better at Kempton (3m, good to soft) 17 days ago when romping home in the Ladbrokes Trophy; hit with 12lb rise but that may not stop this highly progressive 7yo, who was very impressive last time. |
