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. |

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. |

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. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Had a spell in the doldrums for previous yard, so was well treated on debut for this one at Hereford (2m5f, good) in May when having a match in safe keeping from a fair way out; that form amounted to little (second well below best then and since) but this one has gone back up just 2lb and should stay this first attempt beyond 2m5f under rules. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Not yet proven over this far but made the frame on final four outings last season (2m3f-2m4f, good) and was in front before penultimate-fence unseat at Fontwell (3m2f, good) last month; must be considered. |
9/4 |

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. |
