21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 4m 1f 56y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Trained by David Bridgwater to win the 2024 Sussex National at Plumpton and nearly win it last term, both on soft; has made a solid start for James Owen this term, notably with a strong-finishing win here (3m6f, good to soft) but he was also sixth in the Welsh National last time; each-way player. |

12th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 4lb |
First and a close second in last two runnings of the Sussex National at Plumpton (extended 3m4f, soft); turned for home with a place chance in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham (3m2f; finished eighth) last time and 4m is worth a go, but this company looks too demanding. |

0-7 over hurdles and the same over fences but he's been a consistent sort for Tom Gretton, including a big run from out of the handicap in the Sussex National at Plumpton (3m4f, soft) last time; tongue tied on last two outings; needs each-way respect on this debut for new yard. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Commenced chase career with two wins; 0-7 since and has failed to back up reappearance effort in a light current campaign; however, this combination of a drop back in class and return to forecast faster ground may prompt a resurgence. |

16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Won two chases last season and gave good account when third on reappearance outing at Ascot (3m, good) in November; subsequent defeat on heavy ground can probably be overlooked and he'll be dangerous here if the first-time blinkers have any positive effect. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has three wins over fences, including one over C&D; not operating at his best this year and a pull in the weights from when third over C&D in February (soft) should not see him reverse placings with either Lumi Plugin or Enjoy d'Allen. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |

Ended a losing sequence at Fontwell (3m2f) in June but his more recent form is not so encouraging, a remote third of four in 3m2f Plumpton handicap chase 29 days ago; this C&D winner needs to revive. |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 4 |

Won at Fontwell (3m2f, good) last June and is also effective on soft ground; returned from break with encouraging third of five over C&D (good to soft) in December, but he's not easy to predict and was pulled up at Windsor (3m4f) last time; now drops back in trip but he needs to bounce back near best. |

Won 2022 Kim Muir here (3m2f, soft) and produced career-best performance when scoring by 13l over the big Aintree fences last season (3m2f, heavy); badly out of form this term, though, and this new discipline needs to rekindle his enthusiasm; 6lb out of the handicap. |

Moved to this yard last season and won three in a row towards the end of last year (2m4f/3m, good to soft/soft); disappointing subsequently but perhaps a break will have helped and he's down to a handy mark; interesting to see how he goes in the betting. |

Well suited by a stamina test on good ground and lurks on a dangerous mark but has not been firing on all cylinders since running well on last season's reappearance outing in October; safely held when fourth in recent Sussex National; needs to up his game. |

12yo who has struggled at biggish prices in his two runs over 2m7f at Chepstow (tailed off/pulled up) this winter; dropped another 4lb but his last win was in April 2024 and he needs a major revival; stablemate of Camulus. |

Yet to add to his two soft-ground chase wins in early 2024 and is a 12yo now, but faced very tough task from out of the weights here on last month's seasonal debut and contests this easier race from a workable mark. |
