15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 138y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Lightly raced 7yo who is a 2m3f hurdles winner; promising third at Newcastle (2m4f) switched to chasing last time, shaping as though this longer trip would suit; respected. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Doncaster novice hurdle winner on rules debut in December 2024 but well held in two runs since, albeit 322 days apart, most recently on handicap debut at Kempton (2m5f, good) on Boxing Day following wind surgery; that run may have been needed and he does appeal as the type to do better over fences, but he does come here with a bit to prove. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Progressive 6yo who scored on his chase debut here (2m, good) in October; improved at about 2m4f subsequently, looking unlucky when falling at Cheltenham in November before winning his next two, including a fairly valuable event back there in January (soft); disappointing he could not get involved in the Jack Richards at the Cheltenham Festival (Gold Dancer second, Regent's Stroll third) last month but he has often shaped as if this step up in trip will suit; no surprise if he bounces back. |
10/1 |

8th 10 |
12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Has a record of 5-8 overall and 3-4 since switched to chasing; looked a serious threat to stablemate Kdeux Saint Fray when final-fence faller on the Old course here (2m4f) in November; rallied well for a couple of narrow wins since, latest on Trials day in the C&D novice handicap (soft) that has been such a good pointer to this race and indeed this meeting in general; appears very likely to finish strongly and continue his progress; big player. |

1st 4 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Arguably unlucky not to be unbeaten over fences, as he looked a serious threat to Kdeux Saint Fray when final-fence faller on the Old course here (2m4f, soft) in November; that tumble is flanked by wins, latest in game fashion at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft); major contender. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Ex-Irish 6yo who is 2-3 in maiden/novice hurdles for new stable this season, the latter win gained by 18l at Uttoxeter (2m, good; first-time hood) 11 days ago; faces tougher opposition on this British handicap debut but still commands respect. |
4/1 |

1st 1 |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Promising in defeat for Nicky Henderson before a stint in Ireland; has made a positive start for Tom Lacey, winning at Huntingdon (2m, good to firm) and running just as well in defeat when penalised here last month (good); has raced freely and now goes in a hood. |
5/4 |
|
2nd 1 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Had some fair form for Nicky Henderson without success but was unplaced in three outings last summer when trained in Ireland; sold for £19,000 last October and dropped in distance to get off the mark on his stable debut in a Huntingdon maiden (2m, good to firm) last month; incurs a 7lb penalty but should run well. |

22nd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Very lightly raced 7yo who comfortably won Wetherby novice hurdle (2m, soft) in December; just a respectable fourth of six on recent chase/handicap debut at Carlisle (2m, soft) but today's longer trip is likely to suit him and he probably still has potential. |

6th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Wind surgery seems to have done the trick, with him winning an ordinary Market Rasen maiden in fair style seven weeks ago; has improvement left in him as he goes handicapping off a workable mark. |
