5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Six chase wins, the latest here (1m7f, heavy) under Rian Corcoran 19 days ago; still on workable mark after recent 5lb rise and will be fine over today's longer trip but the faster ground is probably not in his favour. |
9/2 |
|
1st 1 |
14th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Five-time chase winner who relishes testing ground; runner-up in his first two starts this season including a close call at Exeter (2m1f, good to soft), but his form cooled at Hereford last time; needs to step up again after that but he remains well treated on his old form. |

3rd 1 |
26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Five-time chase winner who relishes testing ground; runner-up on both starts this term and looks sure to go close. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Well treated on 2024 winning form for Olly Murphy; last-time 11l fourth at Sedgefield (2m5f, good) rates a best for his current yard, but he can't afford to repeat that day's constant jumping right. |
10/1 |
|
4th 2 |
10th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Dual 2m4f chase winner on testing ground; well treated on his form of 12 months ago when with Olly Murphy; needs to be much better than in his three starts so far for this trainer; has had wind surgery since last month's Wetherby appearance. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Wincanton specialist who kept on for second there (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago in first-time cheekpieces (retained); he's run well here in the past but needs to prove his stamina, having faded over 3m1f at Wincanton in December. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Gained all three chase wins over C&D, the latest off today's mark on seasonal debut in December (good to soft); has suffered a slump in form this winter, though, and has questions to answer now; tongue-tie added. |
10/1 |
|
5th 1 |
14th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Made it 3-7 over fences with narrow win on his C&D reappearance (good to soft) in December; only 1lb higher here but he's been disappointing since that last success and was pulled up at Exeter (first-time blinkers) last time; regular cheekpieces are now reapplied but he needs to get back in track. |
