14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Generally very disappointing since winning last season's Eider Chase at Newcastle (4m1f, good to soft) by 16l but took small step back in right direction when fourth over hurdles last month (wore first-time blinkers) and is too well handicapped to rule out on this return to chasing; usual cheekpieces back on. |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Hasn't run a race of note since winning last season's 4m1f Eider Chase at Newcastle, in which his struggles continued last time out (tailed off or pulled up over hurdles prior to that); too well handicapped to rule out and blinkers go on for cheekpieces. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 4m 1f 56y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Stormed clear for a 16l win under Freddie Mitchell in this race last year, form which has not been seen from him before or since but his last three outings were over hurdles; 11lb higher (10lb out of the handicap) than 12 months ago but well treated if he returns to that peak form and stranger things have happened. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Resumed winning ways in first-time blinkers at Newcastle (2m4f) in November but very in and out since, pulled up in 2m6f Leicester handicap chase 25 days ago; he's not easy to warm to today. |

20th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Inconsistent this season but won in first-time blinkers at Newcastle in November and looked unlucky not to add to his tally at Haydock (also 2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago, when a last-fence error was costly; up another 4lb for that but could have more to offer if in the right mood again. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won over fences here (2m4f, good to soft) on New Year's Eve but began this year with two disappointing runs; reverts to hurdling after 261-day break and with usual cheekpieces missing; others have much less to prove. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Well beaten at Haydock last time (behind Genois) in a race he won the previous season; now below par in his last three chases and belatedly tries cheekpieces at the age of 11. |
10/1 |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Won this last year (good) and followed up at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) in June off a mark 1lb higher than today's; pulled up/tailed off over fences on next two starts but his recent outing over hurdles was fairly encouraging and he could build on that now back chasing. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |

Six-time chase winner who won last summer but twice disappointed since; he's 0-8 as a hurdler but ability needs respecting when there's no depth to this race. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Well treated on 2024 winning form for Olly Murphy; last-time 11l fourth at Sedgefield (2m5f, good) rates a best for his current yard, but he can't afford to repeat that day's constant jumping right. |

Dual 2m4f chase winner on testing ground; well treated on his form of 12 months ago when with Olly Murphy; needs to be much better than in his three starts so far for this trainer; has had wind surgery since last month's Wetherby appearance. |

22nd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Course winner over hurdles last season (2m3f, heavy) and made quite promising chase debut in December; yet to build on that performance but was in contention before bad jumping error seemed to knock the stuffing out of him in the straight here a fortnight ago (first-time visor); no surprise if he gets his act together over fences soon. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Off the mark over fences at this track (2m3f, good) in March 2025 for Alastair Ralph but has been below that form in four runs since; sold for £4,000 to join current yard last month and is well handicapped if he can put his best foot forward on his stable debut. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |

Needs to improve on his third-place finishes (modest/remote) this term but would be interesting if the ground is good; won off current mark at Market Rasen (2m3f) the last time he raced on such going. |

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. |
11/1 |
