18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Won at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft) last November on second chase start and finished third in quality handicap at Kempton (3m, good to soft) in February, despite jumping to the left at that right-handed track; massively inconvenienced by controversial start when down the field at the Cheltenham Festival; retains potential, especially going left-handed; high on the list. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
10st 6lb |
Rather fortuitous winner on the Old course here (2m4f, soft) in November as stablemate Jordans Cross looked a massive threat when falling; finished 5l behind that rival in the rematch over C&D on Trials day, shaping as if ready for a crack at further; duly ran well, despite jumping left at times, in major 3m handicap at right-handed Kempton (good to soft) since; brings notable form but possibly isn't crying out for the drop back in trip; 1lb out of weights. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 6lb |
Anthony Honeyball does well in staying chasers and he won this two years ago; he has another likely contender in this first-season chaser who probably improved on his winning piece of form at Cheltenham when a staying-on fourth in a traditionally strong novice handicap there on Trials' Day; confined to about 2m4f over fences thus far but looks ready for 3m and big shout if his jumping stands the test. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Stacks of minor honours and his second in a Doncaster maiden last time, after 101 days off, was one of his best efforts; another was in November on his only go at about 2m6f; the lack of a win is a touch disconcerting, though. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 3 |

Responsible for some of the best form on show but he's now 0-10 over hurdles so had his chances; probably found the ground too soft last time; might be vulnerable to rivals with lower mileage. |

31st Jan 2025 Soft 2m 3f 51y Class 5 |

Ran okay over hurdles towards end of last year on first two rules starts and this attractively bred point winner is sent straight over fences for his handicap debut; interesting, more so if strong in the betting. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Front-runner who has won his last three starts (2m7f-3m2f, good to soft/good), the latest at Carlisle nine days ago; clearly thriving and could be tough to beat for a stable that is in fantastic form. |
15/8 |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Held on gamely to make all in four-runner Doncaster chase (3m2f, good to soft) last month and is now 2-4 for current stable; has more on his plate here and needs to prove himself on a right-handed track but still respected in current form. |

Has taken well to fences and completed a three-timer at Catterick in January; resumed winning ways at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) last month and this front-runner may prove hard to peg back. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Front-runner who won three in a row in December/January (1m7f-2m, good-good to soft), following a wind op; recent efforts suggest he's still in good form and likely to give this a good shot. |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 212y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Beaten 32l on his chase debut in October but subsequent wind surgery sent him on a roll, a win over C&D (good to soft) in December triggering a hat-trick; nothing wrong with his third of six at Sedgefield last time and he may still be capable of better. |

Dual point winner who is still unexposed under rules; not beaten far when fifth on recent chasing debut at Uttoxeter (3m, good; several fences omitted) but needs to build on that performance here and didn't get far at Hexham on Tuesday. |

9th May 2026 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Seemed to benefit from combination of drop back in trip and first-time cheekpieces when finishing well to snatch victory over C&D (good to soft) last month; her overall profile remains unconvincing but she's effectively only 1lb higher today and features prominently in calculations. |
5/1 |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |

Not disgraced in any of her three 2m4f starts this year but has yet to be placed after eight hurdle runs; drops back in trip with cheekpieces tried here; improvement required. |

3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |

Signs of ability in bumpers but she has disappointed over hurdles (0-7), beaten 19l in first-time tongue-tie at Southwell (2m4f, soft) latest; stable have a much better chance with Miss Friday Lions; an unlikely candidate. |

Enough in his final two races last year (one here) suggested a return to 2m3f-2m4f is worth a go, having paid for trying to take on the winner on his previous run at such a trip; longest absent in the line-up. |
