1st May 2026 Good 4m 0f 218y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Former winner of Highland and Southern Nationals (good to soft), so surprising he didn't see out 3m here on January's hunter chase debut; back on track in a Siddington novice riders' point latest, additionally a first career success on good ground; safe ride (never falls) and not dismissed. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Thorough stayer who was very respectable fifth of 14 in quite valuable Uttoxeter handicap (3m, good) on latest outing in May; also suited by soft ground and has big role to play if fully tuned up for hunter chase debut; blinkers removed after one use. |

Won over hurdles after wind surgery and then ran okay to be fourth over 3m at Kempton in a race he won the previous season; there's nothing wrong with his mark and always a chance that blinkers will bring him on. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Only stepped up to 3m in his last three races and went close in two of those; looked as though he'd win at Newbury last time (good to soft) only to get outbattled; the cheekpieces could be significant. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Won seasonal/handicap debut at Newton Abbot (extended 2m6f, good to soft) in October; good C&D third (soft) next time but a flop as favourite at Doncaster (3m, good) in December when last seen; needs to resume improvement. |

29th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 122y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Bumper winner who made the breakthrough over hurdles when landing a maiden at Exeter (2m5f, good) in March; had to work hard to seal the deal in that match but he's still unexposed in this sphere and should have more to offer in handicaps this season; had wind surgery since last run. |

11st 11lb |
Lightly raced 7yo who is a 2m3f hurdles winner; promising third at Newcastle (2m4f) switched to chasing last time, shaping as though this longer trip would suit; respected. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Doncaster novice hurdle winner on rules debut in December 2024 but well held in two runs since, albeit 322 days apart, most recently on handicap debut at Kempton (2m5f, good) on Boxing Day following wind surgery; that run may have been needed and he does appeal as the type to do better over fences, but he does come here with a bit to prove. |

27th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Course bumper winner for Nicky Henderson in April 2024 (soft ground); 0-4 over hurdles for that stable last season, signing off with defeat at odds of 4-11 in 2m7f Uttoxeter maiden won by Stone's Throw in March; however, he sports a first-time tongue-tie and visor for this stable/handicap debut and it will be very interesting to see what Sam Thomas can do with him. |

Bred to be useful and won Bangor bumper last April; ran as if amiss on hurdles debut but he looks to be progressing now and took second behind an impressive odds-on shot in maiden at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) four weeks ago; shapes as if he'll stay this longer trip; leading player. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Looked a non-stayer over 2m7f on his handicap debut but was beaten even further back over 2m4f at Market Rasen (14l off the winner); off the same mark here but has undergone a wind operation, which may help. |

25th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |

Good finishing effort in his first few races; hasn't sustained that trend, latterly over hurdles, but may improve now handicapping on first run since further wind surgery. |

11st 10lb |
Fell at the first flight in Grade 2 Persian War at Chepstow (17-2) on penultimate start and never threatened to justify evens favouritism with an underpowered display in a maiden there (again about 2m4f on good to soft) later in October; last February's third at Ascot is the best form in this field but a lot now seems to depend on the wind surgery he had in November; also now tongue tied. |

9th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Low-mileage 7yo who launched chasing career with two good efforts, latterly when second to Felton Bellevue over C&D (soft) in February; ran in snatches and was disappointing over hurdles here a fortnight ago but might travel better in first-time cheekpieces today and could still have potential over fences. |

Lightly raced maiden over hurdles who has showed improved form since switched to fences on last two starts; not yet fully exposed and reverts to hurdles off what may prove to be a workable mark. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Dual 2m winner last year; two heavy defeats over hurdles before perking up somewhat on return to Flat in January, but absent since; well handicapped on plenty of turf and AW form, so needs a close look, but the last time he raced over a trip this short was February 2024. |

22nd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |

Returns to the Flat after two heavy defeats over hurdles; ran below market expectations on last attempt under this code but is competitively treated on best AW/turf form. |

28th Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 5 |

Twice won easily here (1m6f/16.5f) around this time last year and is back off the same mark as when successful at Ffos Las (2m, good) in August; makes plenty of appeal. |
