12th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Three-time chase winner (at up to 3m) who was runner-up over hurdles at Southwell (2m4f, good) in March but he's inconsistent and made it 0-10 over hurdles when tailed off at Perth (2m4f, good) last month; needs to bounce back; non-runner when due to wear these blinkers for the first time 5:47 Southwell Monday. |

24th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Both wins over fences have been at Market Rasen (2m5f/3m); struggles with his consistency but if on a going day in first-time blinkers then he's not handicapped out of it. |

3rd Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Turbulent career and was deep in the doldrums for much of 2024 but he popped up at 25-1 at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) when nearly half the fences were omitted; back up 3lb but still well treated if the mood takes; yard 5-10 here in the last five seasons. |

24th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 4 |

Pulled up on five of his six starts in 2024; showed some zest when ridden very positively in first-time blinkers (retained) at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft) this month but was well held in the end and remains a risky option. |

2nd May 2025 Good 2m 0f 62y Class 5 |
12st 1lb |
Placed in the 2022 and 2023 renewals of this race and ran well on occasions in handicaps last year for Gary Hanmer; has changed trainers again but clearly won't be fazed by the demands of this assignment. |

3-17 over fences under rules (6-11 in points); 0-7 in handicap chases for new stable but he is edging down the weights and most of that form gives him a big shout. |

9th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 48y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Just 1-14 over fences and needs to run better than on his two starts this winter, but he twice finished runner-up off higher marks last spring and perhaps the first-time cheekpieces will give him a boost; not discounted. |

11st 2lb |
The first of his two chase wins (from 19 attempts) was over C&D in 2022 and he was runner-up back here on reappearance this term; ran respectably at Southwell last time and should figure prominently in this field. |

Bit of a mixed bag since winning off 11lb higher here (2m, good to soft) in March last year, his second of eight at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) on his return last month (has a good record fresh) surrounded by lesser efforts; others are more convincing. |

Five-time point winner and won a hunter chase just over two years ago; kept on well for a close third over 2m5f at Newton Abbot last time and this is probably more his trip. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |

Pulled up on consecutive outings at start of this year but looked in much better nick when second at Warwick (3m1f, good) last month; should benefit from today's drop back in trip; must be considered. |

Bumper/hurdle/chase winner; didn't run up to his best over fences last year (pulled up last two starts); better ground will suit and well handicapped, but plenty to prove. |

2nd Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 4 |

5-17 over fences but his latest win was May 2023 and last year went badly; often wears hood or cheekpieces and now tries a visor. |
