3rd 1 |
16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Back to his winning trip over fences after failing to defy some serious stamina doubts over the 3m2f of the Kim Muir; he's none too consistent and looked a hard ride at Musselburgh the run before (2m4f), but he's realistically handicapped if he can travel kinder in the new cheekpieces. |
100/30 |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Impressive at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) last February and back to form when third there (2m4f, good to soft) in January; however, this inconsistent 9yo was well beaten at Musselburgh last month and this is a big step into the unknown in terms of stamina (albeit that he did win a 3m point). |
33/1 |

31st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Inconsistent but he's run really well on both visits here, winning comfortably over C&D (good to soft) at this meeting 12 months ago and doing well to finish third over C&D (good to soft) on reappearance having made a bad blunder three out; effective on soft ground earlier in career; big chance. |

16th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Dual chase winner last season (2m4f/2m), both times by wide margins in small fields; suited by good ground but ran poorly when last in action and still needs to prove he can cope with this career-high mark. |

23rd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Ran respectably when third of five over hurdles at regular haunt Plumpton (2m4f, good) last month; better known as a chaser these days but he looks weighted near best off this mark and is untried beyond 2m5f; has some work to do back in this sphere. |

|
3rd 1 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Came up short last time when bidding for a chase hat-trick; only 1-11 over hurdles and hasn't raced in this sphere for nearly two years but there are positives, namely a lower mark in this sphere and a good overall record (4-8) at Plumpton. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Campaigned mostly at about 2m but over this far he ran well for a 125-1 chance to be beaten about 10l in a big-field handicap at the Grand National meeting (under Daire McConville; finished ahead of Sir Galahad); this is not quite so demanding. |
12/1 |
|
12th 13 |
10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Campaigned mostly at about 2m and isn't crying out for this return to further; furthermore, he suffered a heavy defeat at the Cheltenham Festival most recently and this is another difficult task. |
66/1 |

21th 20 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
10st 6lb |
Front-runner; convincing Newbury win (2m) under Daire McConville in November before 11l third off this 10lb higher mark behind two well-handicapped rivals at Doncaster (2m, good to soft again) in December; off since; needs better. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Not as good as he was but has still won two of his last four races and has only raced six times for this yard; up 5lb for Kelso but couldn't dismiss. |
13/2 |

1st 3 |
20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Made all to land good prize at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) in January and is also very well suited by this track but he's no longer the force of old and was unable to land a telling blow at Carlisle last month; others have more appealing profiles. |
10/1 |
|
5th 3 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Strike-rate over fences is 4-14; has form figures of 3312 since joining new yard, the success in notable handicap at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft); remains well treated on historical data; solid claims. |

Defied top weight in Class 4 handicap at Market Rasen last time, taking chase record to 3-6; she's 2-2 at Perth but this looks a difficult task; first run beyond 2m5f under rules. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
There was no return to form on his two starts this winter; arrives with plenty to prove but he's down to a dangerous mark and, if he is to stage a revival, it's likely to be here where he's posted both victories. |
25/1 |
|
7th 4 |
17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Down to a dangerous mark and could get back on track at some point but he's been underwhelming since winning on last season's reappearance (2m4f, soft), finishing down the field at Newcastle last month after a break. |
20/1 |
