10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 200y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Progressive front-runner who has won two handicaps this term (2m3f/2m1f, good to firm/soft) and came second in the Grade 2 Game Spirit at Newbury (2m, heavy) in February; a bad mistake at the first fence all but ended his race in the Champion Chase at Cheltenham last month; sent off 50-1 at the Festival and his form has to go to a new level if he's to pose a threat today. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Acts on any ground; has become a very consistent chaser; form figures this term read 12122, the second-place finishes in Grade 2 events, including handicaps; ran creditably behind a leading novice in the Game Spirit at Newbury most recently; even if he gives his running again, that won't be nearly enough to trouble the judge now that he is upped further in class; a lot to find. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 92y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Acts on soft ground; has become a very consistent handicap chaser; form figures this term read 1212, the second-place finishes behind progressive Thistle Ask in the Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter and Desert Orchid Chase at Kempton; better than ever, has won at Newbury and looks sure to run his race; rock-solid claims. |

21st Apr 2025 Good 2m 3f 98y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Largely consistent 7yo who was runner-up three consecutive times after his Wincanton win (2m4f, good) in November; slightly below form when dropped back to 2m at Newbury last month but this move back up in trip will suit and his current mark is workable. |

22nd Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 92y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Consistent type, in frame all six starts this term, including over C&D; respectable fourth of 14 in Greatwood Gold Cup over 2m4f here last time; acts on any ground; should be in the thick of things again. |

23rd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Back over hurdles with respectable fifth of 15 in Class 2 event at Haydock (3m, good) two weeks ago; 5lb lower back over fences but he's 0-12 in this sphere and he fell at Ayr on his penultimate run; down the list. |
9/1 |

5th 8 |
9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Sparked just once in each of the last two seasons, at Doncaster; visored on latest start, after three runs in cheekpieces; often tongue tied as well but goes without any equipment today; his last hurdle race was in February 2024 and other options look a lot more solid. |
25/1 |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Good third off 4lb higher in first-time cheekpieces at Doncaster (3m, soft) in January; however, his form away from Doncaster hasn't been great in the last two seasons and the visor needs to have a positive influence. |

15th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Front-runner who hasn't been at his best this term and was a 12l third behind two of these at Market Rasen (2m5f, good to soft) last time; however, he deserves credit for that performance having set a strong pace and he continues to drop down the weights; every chance he'll make a bold bid. |

17th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 89y Class 2 |

Front-runner; well handicapped on some of last season's form but failed to build upon his satisfactory reappearance run when well held at Newbury last month; needs to get back in the groove. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Showed the odd snippet of very useful form in 2024, winning easily at Wetherby (2m3f, good) that November on his second chase start; however, his subsequent exploits put him well down the pecking order in this line-up. |
100/1 |

2nd 1 |
6th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Useful handicapper over hurdles and fences as recently as 2024; finished well held on final two starts for Ben Pauling, albeit in strong handicap chases, and heavy defeat on stable/point debut last month following a break leaves him with something to prove; still, he'd be the one to beat on these terms if anywhere near his best. |
2/1 |

8th 5 |
11th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Pulled up at Newbury in December and tailed off at last month's Cheltenham Festival, following wind surgery; however, he looked good when winning easily at Wetherby (2m3f, good) in November on his second chase start, and he's a contender if tapping back into that promise now back down in grade. |

13th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 4f 10y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Made mistakes when pulled up at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) in December last time and needs to bounce back; however, he's now 5lb lower than when second at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) in October and is not written off; also effective on soft ground. |

18th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Won twice in small fields over 2m4f/2m6f last term and second at Market Rasen in October; however, he needs a lot better than was forthcoming on last two outings, back down to 2m5f from 3m for latest. |
