24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Resumed with victory at Exeter (2m3f) in November and in good form until pulled up in 2m3f handicap chase at Fontwell ten days ago; this course winner is the sort to bounce back in a change of headgear, though. |

14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Did well for cheekpieces going on last year, winning three times at 2m3f-2m5f, latterly off 3lb lower, and going a stone and a half up the weights; 2m7f looked to find him out at Newbury last month and this is less competitive back down in trip; holds decent claims. |

17th Feb 2026 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |

All good since the cheekpieces went on, winning three times (2m3f-2m5f, good to soft/soft); kept on well for third off today's mark at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft) last month and returning to further looks the right move. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 48y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Only 1-24, the win coming over this far as a hurdler nearly two years ago; however, twice runner-up over fences this season (2m7f) and capable of going well. |
13/2 |

3rd 1 |
20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-6 and generally disappointing during first season over fences, signing off with a poor performance in April; returns from six-month break on a good mark, though, and last month's wind op could quite plausibly aid a return to form; cheekpieces (worn for last three runs) discarded. |

11th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Looked to be rediscovering his level when second at Lingfield (2m4f, good to soft) in December but he failed to build on that in two subsequent starts; weakened on his one go over further than 2m5f when fifth at Fontwell (3m2f, good) in April; risky. |
10/1 |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Good-ground hurdle winner off a much higher mark before a big absence; it's been a long road back but he didn't give up the ghost at Lingfield (good to soft) on penultimate start; disappointed over that C&D (soft) last month, though, and needs to prove he can operate on this forecast soft ground. |

0-15; ran okay 16 days ago at Southwell with headgear removed but never remotely threatened the winner; others preferred. |

3rd 6 |
18th Feb 2026 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Ex-Irish 14-race maiden under rules who has suffered four heavy defeats over fences for this yard, twice in a tongue-tie and once in cheekpieces; no aids today, which might be a straw to cling to, but he has a lot to prove. |
12/1 |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 110y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Irish point winner in 2022 but winless since and has suffered three crushing defeats over fences for this yard; has a lot to prove with refitted cheekpieces replacing a tongue-tie. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Winner at Market Rasen in June (2m5f, good; first-time hood; three ran); hasn't run as well since, having been pulled up at Newbury on latest chase run and then tailed off on the AW; bit to prove. |
9/1 |

5th 1 (5) |
5th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Fairly useful chaser who is 5-17 in that sphere, but he was a big price on Flat debut at Goodwood (1m6f maiden) two weeks ago and finished a well-held fourth of seven; that wasn't bad after a slow start but this is a daunting task in this Listed event and he has stacks to find on the figures. |
