1st 2 (7) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Very much enjoyed the run of the race when making all over 1m6f here 13 days ago; may not have the same luxury this time, but is just 3lb higher and remains unexposed in staying handicaps on the AW. |

1st 2 (2) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Useful jumper; 25lb higher when joining this yard and, after five defeats at big prices, he's run well to finish third at Southwell (1m4f) and Wolverhampton (1m6f) in last two starts; should go well again and he could be a big factor if he gets a good pace. |

3rd 5 (7) |
3rd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Useful jumper; 25lb higher when joining this yard and, after five defeats at big prices, the money came for him at Southwell 17 days ago (1m4f); fared better in third on that occasion and he's handicapped to go well. |

31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Potentially well handicapped but he's 0-7 over fences and has been well below his best the last twice, on good ground (tried a visor) and soft (no headgear); did win in a tongue-tie when trained in France and that aid belatedly returns; couldn't rule out. |
8/1 |

5th 4 |
20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Made it 0-6 over fences when tailed off in first-time visor at Leicester in December; however, the headgear is left off today and he's on a competitive mark on his best chase form; won on testing ground in France; could be thereabouts if bouncing back to form. |
11/2 |
|
4th 1 |
28th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Two hurdle wins and better form when second over fences in December in 2m handicaps at Warwick and Newbury, both on good to soft; short-headed in the latter but flopped when favourite at Hereford (upped to 2m5f) six weeks ago, when having three runs in just over a month was blamed; stamina to prove beyond 2m2f, even if he's back to form; yard is going strongly. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Three-time C&D winner, including this race last year (good ground); probably won't be favoured by any rain but didn't run badly in Class 2 event at Worcester (2m4f, good to soft) in September on latest outing and is sure to be suited by the return to this track; high on the list. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Having dropped back down to his last winning mark he returned to form when third in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) three weeks ago; he's a contender if backing up that effort. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 1 |
5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Back on his last winning mark of Christmas 2024 but too little about either start this term suggests he'll capitalise, and not obviously crying out for this new trip of late either; cheekpieces added. |
5/1 |
|
7th 4 |
26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Let down by his jumping over fences at times but still a capable performer in that sphere, although his reappearance last month was laboured; needs to be forgiven that effort but reverts to hurdles on a fair mark and is 2-7 in this discipline. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Record of 2-2 over C&D (good) includes a neck success off 1lb higher last April; failed to get home over 2m3f on soft ground here last month on return from a break; respected back down in trip. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 3 |
15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
2-2 over fences here, albeit at 2m; has been off another four months since his Cheltenham reappearance in November, while stamina is another question mark. |
