24th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
First past the post in the same novice handicap at Taunton (2m2f, soft/heavy) in two of his three chase attempts, last time comfortably making amends for being disqualified a year earlier (banned substance found in sample); may have more to offer over fences; shortlisted. |
6/4 |

3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 2f 40y Class 5 |

Won this race readily (soft ground) on chasing debut at year ago, only to be disqualified after testing positive for a banned substance; made low-key reappearance on good ground here in December but still features prominently in calculations. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
4-9 over fences but has departed mid-race in his last two chases and now reverts to hurdling off a 5lb lower mark; 0-10 in this discipline but he has been placed and could go well. |
4/1 |
|
3 |
13th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
He's 4-8 over fences and fell in two of the defeats, including last time when he was still travelling nicely four from home; likely to be bang there if avoiding the mistakes. |
11/4 |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Four-time chase winner, most recently at Plumpton (2m1f, good) in November before falling in a Sandown Class 3 in January; returned from a break with two solid placed efforts in March over hurdles, latest when a close second at Taunton (2m3f, good) 21 days ago; switches back to fences in a very small field and should go well. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Has more chasing experience than many of these and with a strike-rate of 4-15 things are going well; those wins have been from 2m to 2m4f so the are stamina questions to answer, for all that he has won a 3m point. |
6/1 |
|
1st 4 |
26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Kicked off 2026 with a hat-trick (2m1f/2m, soft/heavy) and he's gone close on his last two starts (2m/2m3f, heavy/soft); has shown promise on good ground in the past and he could be bang there once more. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Began this year with three slow-ground wins (2m-2m1f, one here) and lost out only by a head when second here (2m, heavy; front pair well clear) on latest outing; continues to climb up the weights but should be fine over today's longer trip and can make his presence felt again. |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Lightly raced 10yo, who has form figures of 121 this winter and that last win was by 7l over C&D (heavy) two weeks ago; up 8lb but she was as good as ever last time and is now 2-5 over fences; interesting contender. |
5/2 |
|
1st 7 |
29th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Conditions will be fine as it was heavy when she won by 9l at Fontwell (2m5f) in December; nearly followed up over C&D (good to soft) when only two finished; just 1lb higher and has solid claims. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-16 under rules (including eight chase runs) but came second over hurdles here (2m5f, good) in April and also ran very well in eventful C&D chase won by Ryder's Rock in May; 5lb wrong today but not out of this if last month's wind op makes any positive difference. |

28th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Twice placed over fences (0-7) and twice runner-up over hurdles this year; latest run wasn't her best (also over hurdles) but she goes on all ground and the form is there to feature. |

Pulled up at Ffos Las in April, after a wind op, and has now been unplaced all seven starts under rules; needs improvement from somewhere. |

6th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |

Absent for over two years after good-ground Irish point win in 2022 and has not shown a great deal under rules this season; beaten 31l and 53l in her first two chases (both in February); needs subsequent wind op to have made a difference. |

2nd Mar 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |

Has proved consistent in points this winter and looks likely to give his running in this hunter chase debut; however, faces a difficult task on rules form, as ratings reflect. |

19th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Won five handicap chases in the space of six starts during the winter; that came a cost mark-wise and he was twice well held before suffering same fate back over hurdles last time (2m7f novice; tried blinkers); bit to prove now. |

Respectable second at Ludlow (2m, good to soft; 10lb lower today) in December but the rest of his chase form is poor and he fell early when tried in first-time cheekpieces on latest start, which are fitted again. |

Ran respectably behind Famoso over C&D in December but the rest of his chase form is poor; chance largely depends on how well he responds to first-time cheekpieces; 7lb out of weights. |

10st 5lb |
6yo maiden who ran well, one place in front of Les's Destiny Star, in first-time visor over C&D (good to soft) last month on debut for new stable and return from lengthy layoff; likely player provided that effort is backed up and the bounce is avoided. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |

0-11 under all codes and absent since pulled up in 2m2f chase in February 2025; given a chance by the handicapper but could be considered only if lively in the betting; first run beyond about 2m3f; the visor is new. |

13th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Beat 1-9 favourite when winning two-runner edition of this race a year ago (good ground) and was in front before last-fence unseat over C&D (good to soft) in October; returned from break with low-key run last month but remains lightly raced for her age, and her course form is a selling point. |
7/1 |

5th 7 |
16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Won a match at Fakenham in April last year and would possibly have doubled her score back at that venue but for unseating at the last in October, returns from another break and hard to be confident she'd repeat the effort. |
11/2 |

29th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Won a match over C&D in April (in this headgear) but that effort stands out among otherwise modest form and she was pulled up when last seen later that month; returns from a six-month break with a bit to prove. |

Has lost her way badly since her win/place form over fences last summer; cheekpieces tried last time are swiftly removed; couldn't trust. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
2m1f chase winner at Stratford a year ago but has largely struggled to reproduce that level, including after wind surgery; continues to ease in the weights and cheekpieces are enlisted, but others arrive with much more persuasive credentials. |
