25th Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Dual chase winner this season, latterly over C&D (good to soft) in December; just a respectable third at Hereford (3m1f, good) this month and remains on a fairly tough mark but the return to this track is a plus. |
4/1 |

3rd 2 |
8th Mar 2025 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Has plenty of chasing experience and was a dual winner over fences towards end of 2024, once over C&D on good ground; back up to his career-high mark now but still features prominently in calculations. |
2/1 |

1st 7 |
30th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Opened chasing account at Hereford (3m1f, good) last month and bettered that performance when close second over C&D (good) 18 days ago; more exposed than some of these but likely to be right in the thick of things. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Back in good nick for his two runs last month, latterly when close third to Wicked Thoughts at Taunton (3m4f, good); still unexposed over marathon trips and still on a workable mark; could have a say. |
7/1 |

3rd 5 |
9th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 85y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Dual winning chaser who confirmed his well-being when second of four finishers at Southwell (3m, good) eight days ago; steps up in trip and if that brings about any improvement then he should be in the firing line. |
11/4 |

2nd 3 |
1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Hasn't obviously been shaping as if likely to strike again (pulled up in Chepstow race Fern Hill was second in last time) but the fact he won over C&D on good off an identical mark last spring makes him a dangerous one to dismiss. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Placed in three consecutive chases during the winter (2m7f-3m, good to soft) but this first hurdling start since March 2024 comes after a five-month break, so his fitness must be taken on trust. |

18th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Creditable third over C&D (good to soft) in December, after a wind op, and probably bettered that performance when filling same position at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) last month; remains on a workable mark and seems likely to be right in the thick of things again. |

14th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Three chase wins at 2m1f and 2m3f (all on good), the latest in October, but she hasn't lived up to that form since and was a long way behind Califet En Vol over C&D recently; needs revival. |
33/1 |

7th 9 |
21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Has done all her winning on good ground so any rain would be a negative, which counted against her in a Listed chase for mares last time; on a tempting mark with Harry Atkins taking off 7lb if she was on her game (wasn't the case the time before at Ascot). |
20/1 |

5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Fairly useful handicap chaser who scored three times last year, most recently at Kelso in October; always behind at Ascot latest start; place possibilities on these terms but ideally needs drying ground, having done her winning on good. |

7th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
1-10 over fences, the win gained on last season's reappearance at Ludlow (3m, good; Another Day Out second) in October; not in same form again since but now 2lb below that mark, and might be boosted by new cheekpieces. |

Hasn't kicked on from her win over 3m here on good ground in October but she's back on that winning mark and she had hurdle form at about this trip. |

5th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Made it 0-9 when below best at Taunton in December on his second chase start; however, he's shown some promise (including on chase debut) and has edged down the weights, and perhaps wind surgery will have helped. |

0-5 over hurdles but looked suited by the move up in trip when keeping-on fourth (about 7l behind Langley Hundred) over C&D (good) on recent chasing debut; could easily have a bigger run in him; high on the list. |

11th Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Winning pointer who is 0-5 over hurdles and 0-6 as a chaser; hasn't been threatening to put that right, with and without headgear; found a weak race here but could do with upping his game. |

Another C&D winner (November) but could have run a lot better on last two outings, latterly only five days ago when tried in a visor; the blinkers return but this is a quick turnaround. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 137y Class 4 |

Much better could have been expected at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) in December last time but he won here (2m7f, good to soft) in November and it will be no surprise if he bounces back with a good run now back here in a first-time visor (replacing blinkers). |

Returned from layoff with 3m2f win at Fontwell (good) last autumn and was also in good form when last seen in the spring; swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers on this reappearance outing; major player if fully tuned up after latest break. |

Low-mileage 5yo who won a maiden hurdle here (2m, soft) in March; absent since pulled up on chasing debut in May (2m3f) but could still have a good future over fences and is unexposed over this sort of trip. |
