9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Has won three races over fences, the latest off this mark over C&D in October (good); has not been in top form last few starts; could bounce back. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Has only won over fences (three times) and still held some sort of chance when unseating nine days ago at Market Rasen; his hurdle form isn't so convincing, though. |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Has won three chases, the latest at Hexham in October; not at his best on last two runs but on a fair mark now and could go well. |

3rd 1 |
26th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Largely reliable veteran and a three-time winner since December, latterly over C&D in April; touched off at Fontwell 20 days ago, with I Shut That d'Or about 5l back in third; nudged up 1lb but likely to make his presence felt again. |

2nd 2 |
6th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Veteran who has won three times over fences since December including at Plumpton (2m4f, good) 17 days ago; that was in a small field and his main rival made a bad mistake at the last but he still looks feasibly treated and is versatile ground-wise; respected. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Reliable sort who scored at Leicester (2m4f) in March; not discredited when fifth in 2m5f handicap chase at Newton Abbot 15 days ago so ought to be in the shake-up eased 1lb. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won two chases and two hurdles on good/good to soft in 2025, including over this C&D last February; wasn't at his best in the autumn but wouldn't rule out completely. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Did very well for new stable in first half of this year, winning two hurdles and two chases; unseated rider in a chase this month, after a break, but could plausibly still have more improvement to come; respected. |

10th Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Respectable second at Ludlow (2m, good to soft; 10lb lower today) in December but the rest of his chase form is poor and he fell early when tried in first-time cheekpieces on latest start, which are fitted again. |

20th Mar 2025 Good 1m 7f 212y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Ran respectably behind Famoso over C&D in December but the rest of his chase form is poor; chance largely depends on how well he responds to first-time cheekpieces; 7lb out of weights. |

11st 6lb |
Finished second in 2m1f-2m6f chase contests on last three starts in France; sold for 130,000euros and had wind surgery since; likely player provided she maintains the consistency on British debut. |
