6th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Back to form after a second wind op, posting career-best RPRs when scoring at Chepstow in February and when runner-up at Hereford the following month (both at 2m); has his best form over shorter but shapes as though this trip should suit and he commands respect on that recent form. |

2nd 1 |
7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Last year's winner on good ground; bounced back to form after wind surgery to beat four rivals at Chepstow (2m, soft) two weeks ago, making virtually all; back up 5lb but has leading claims again. |

1st 4 |
21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Made excellent progress over fences last season, winning three times (1m7f-2m, good-heavy), but ended that campaign with a poor run and has not been at his best this term (three starts); needs last month's wind op to have made a difference. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Beaten on first seven chase starts but showed improved form to win comfortably at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) in February and he bumped into a progressive winner there (2m3f, soft) last month, when clear of the third; there can be optimism that he will be fine back down in trip and he's respected. |

2nd 1 |
15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Fully deserved his breakthrough chase success over C&D (soft) under Toby McCain-Mitchell last month; the style of his win suggests he will be a major player again off a 7lb higher mark. |

12th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Struggled last season on final three runs for the Newland/Insole yard; however, he won off 4lb higher at Bangor (2m4f, good) last April so has a handy mark to work with if a change of scenery has prompted a revival; new yard is enjoying a good month; remains in the same ownership. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won off 1lb lower at Bangor (2m4f, good; also suited by soft) last Apri but has suffered three non-completions since then and was well beaten when he did get round; clearly capable of a big run but comes with a good few risks. |
12/1 |

27th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Pulled up in two of his four chases but first and second in the other two, with the win coming in a small field over C&D (good); this looks a better race. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Six-time chase winner whose form dipped in May/June and he fared little better over hurdles three weeks ago; should be sharper for that now back over fences but needs to find some spark. |
25/1 |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Six-time chase winner (once here); competes off lower mark on this rare hurdling start but was not firing on all cylinders when last seen in the spring and needs to have been refreshed by three-month break. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Made the frame on final four starts last season, most recently when third of 12 here (2m3f, good) one month ago; remains on a workable mark but has stamina to prove over this much longer trip. |
5/1 |

3rd 8 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
All three wins have been on heavy ground; C&D second in January was also on soft but his two placed efforts over 2m4f at Wincanton since came on good to soft and good; ought to be thereabouts again but it is now over two years since his last win. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
All three wins have been on heavy ground but he ran well on good to soft over C&D last month when runner-up behind Universal Secret; nudged up 2lb but he usually races prominently and should go well again. |
5/1 |
