23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
A three-time scorer (including over C&D) last season; hinted at a revival when a never-nearer fifth over 3m4f at Taunton last month so needs considering off a slipping mark. |
10/1 |

9th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 85y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Five-time chase winne, the latest at Ffos Las (3m4f, good) off this mark in October; has been below par in three runs since but his usual cheekpieces are back on and he may appreciate this better ground. |
6/1 |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Readily beat a stablemate in small-field marathon here (3m4f, good) in October and will be fine on today's slower ground but his two runs towards the end of last year were disappointing and he needs to have been refreshed by 101-day break. |

Inconsistent last season and absent since tame effort in March but won when fresh a year ago, at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft), and begins his new campaign from a good mark. |

5th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |

Point winner who is yet to threaten under rules but has had just four attempts and he shaped as though he may improve last month's fourth at Exeter (3m, soft) on his chase/handicap debut; interesting contender. |

6th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Gave pretty good account when fourth over fences at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) in February and should be fine over today's shorter trip, but last month's hurdle run was very disappointing and he's now 0-8 under rules. |

Fair effort over fences here last time (3m1f handicap, good to soft) with the cheekpieces back on and they're retained with an additional tongue-tie, a combination that worked well in points; now tackles his first handicap over hurdles; hard to dismiss. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Placed twice over shorter this year, runner-up at Fontwell (2m5f) last time; one of the main players on recent form but is no certainty to go one better, being 0-23 overall and not a certain stayer back up in trip. |

Not fully exposed after only eight runs but unplaced all seven hurdling starts before struggling on last month's chasing debut (bled from the nose); leap of faith is required to support him here. |

Returned from huge absence in October and shaped with promise in sixth here (3m2f, soft); this 10yo failed to build on that when fifth over C&D subsequently and he unseated early at Hereford 11 days ago, but he's not ruled out in view of his October performance here. |
