4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Did his winning for Evan Williams in batches, latterly when notching a hat-trick the winter before last; on a fair mark back from a short break but needs a revival after a few poor efforts in recent times. |

4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 65y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Enjoyed very good campaign last season with three wins (two over fences); he's on a handy mark on that form but has been well beaten in fourth on both outings this term; needs to turn things around. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |

Off since April but in was in the zone back then having delivered seasonal form figures of 111222; the latest near miss was over C&D and he's only 2lb higher for this; hard to dismiss. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Won three times in a row this winter (1m7f/2m, heavy-good to soft); made mistakes when well beaten at Newcastle (2m, good to soft) last time and his yard is in good form, but he needs to prove he can cope with his current mark, and also today's step up in trip. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |

Has won three of his four races in this headgear combination and it was fairly comfortable at Catterick three weeks ago (1m7f, soft); shooting up the weights (raised another 8lb) but things have clicked in a big way. |

30th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 145y Class 5 |

Comfortable win at Hexham (1m7f, heavy) last month on his second start of the season and he followed up at Warwick (2m, good to soft) on New Year's Eve; clearly thriving and may well complete the hat-trick. |

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. |
2/1 |
|
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. |
5/1 |

1st 2 |
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. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Down to this mark when nearly winning for the first time in seven years at Huntingdon in March and a slightly lesser effort when third at Hereford (also 2m, good) came just one week later; not ruled out. |

25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |

Came very close to a first win in seven years when narrowly denied at Huntingdon (2m, good) seven days ago; can race keenly and unlikely to get an easy lead here, but worth considering if reproducing that effort off the same mark. |

11st 2lb |
Off the mark with an easy win at Huntingdon in January (2m, good to soft); another good run at that track 18 days ago, making the running and jumping the last in front but tiring on the run-in, passed by Pescatorius in the final 100yds; should run well again. |

20th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Went up 10lb for winning over 2m here in January and never really threatened to follow up at Market Rasen (can be inconsistent); even if back on song he might be on a tough mark; probably stays this far. |

13th Feb 2025 Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |

Multiple chase winner who made it three for the year at Southwell (2m, good to soft) in December; hasn't run to the same level since, a recent second at Huntingdon being a remote one, and others further up the list. |

Coped with varying conditions when completing a hat-trick last season in 2m chases; this campaign isn't going half as well and this new headgear combination did nothing for him last time. |

Had been struggling but bounced back for a fourth chase success at Lingfield two weeks ago (2m, soft; made most); wouldn't be certain to repeat that form but clear claims if he can off 5lb higher. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |

Won twice for Olly Murphy in the autumn and subsequently sold for 5,500gns; hasn't been in the same form in three runs for his current trainer; cheekpieces worn on his last three starts are dispensed with on this step up in trip; still has time on his side but all of a sudden has a bit to prove. |

In good form for Olly Murphy in the autumn, winning in blinkers at Sedgefield (3m2f, good to firm) and Market Rasen (2m5f, good to soft), but soundly beaten in cheekpieces (retained) at Warwick for new stable twice since and now has a point to prove. |
