2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Below form in Kim Muir at Cheltenham in March but showed career-best form when winning at Newbury (3m2f, good) just after Christmas and will be a danger to all here if back at that level in first-time cheekpieces. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
9yo who has a good strike-rate over fences and produced a career-best performance to win at Newbury (3m2f, good) in December when last seen; has also won on soft ground; had just five rivals to beat on that latest start but he was impressive and is not ruled out now 6lb higher. |

10st 2lb |
Wide-margin winning yard debut at Ludlow (2m4f, soft) last February before staying trips were beyond him at the Festival and Aintree subsequently; recent runs suggest this is a tall order from out of the weights. |

Won easily on British debut at Ludlow in February (2m4f, soft; 5lb lower); struggled after but latterly in strong handicaps at the Cheltenham and Aintree festivals (3m2f/3m1f); no surprise at all should Venetia Williams have him back to his best here and this intermediate trip might be to his liking. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 125y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Looks an out-and-out stayer; ground out victory at Warwick (3m, soft) in December and ran well over 3m4f here next time, but he was well below par on latest start and others appeal more. |
14/1 |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 54y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Below par the last twice but his December form, namely a game success at Warwick (3m) and close second over 3m4f at Haydock, suggests he's an ideal type for this assignment; interesting back here. |
6/1 |

5th 6 |
17th Feb 2026 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |

Won at Warwick in December (3m, soft) and then close up in a small field over 3m4f at Haydock (good to soft); failed to fire over that far at Windsor a month ago but this mark isn't beyond him if back on song. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 125y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Prolific winner over hurdles; just as good over fences and holding his form well, beaten off only on run-in when second at Leicester (2m6f; stays 3m1f well) four weeks ago; handles any ground; leading contender. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 2 |
6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Prolific winner over hurdles; off the mark over fences at the seventh attempt at Wincanton (3m1f, soft) when fitted with first-time cheekpieces in January, and matched that level when runner-up at Newbury the following month; can make his presence felt again but he's never won off a mark this high. |
2/1 |

2nd 5 |
17th Feb 2026 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Prolific winner over hurdles; it was in a lower grade when getting off the mark over fences at Wincanton (3m1f, soft) but that was fairly comfortable and it was his first time in cheekpieces; off 5lb higher he can make his presence felt. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Seemed to be running well in first-time blinkers before falling at Carlisle and he then made all the running under Gina Andrews at Market Rasen (3m, good); up 4lb but the blinkers have made a difference and should remain competitive. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Disappointed on first two starts this season but seemed to be running well in first-time blinkers (retained) before falling at Carlisle (3m, good to soft) last month; remains on same mark as for last spring's good-ground win there and has top amateur Gina Andrews booked here; might be the answer. |

8th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Opened his account over fences over C&D last April but has failed to fire this season, a remote sixth in 3m3f Market Rasen handicap in December; needs this switch of headgear to spark a resurgence. |

4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Rallied for a near miss over C&D in December (Regal Renaissance challenging when falling) and he was part responsible for the strong pace off which Rodney won at Hereford (2m5f, soft); capable of being involved should this pan out more favourably. |

4th Nov 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won this race on chasing debut in 2023 and was also on target at Kempton (2m4f, good to soft) the following January; drew a blank and became rather disappointing last season but can be very dangerous off current mark if revitalised after 225-day break. |

Four chase wins last season and he's well handicapped on his best form; however, he's struggled this term; cheekpieces go on. |

Four chase wins last season and well handicapped on his best form; however, pulled up on first two runs this term and 200-1 when unseating early at Ludlow last month; plenty to prove. |

1st Jun 2025 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 3 |

Signed off for the Pogson stable with victory in a two-runner claimer over C&D and then joined Max Young for £5,000; it was a good-quality handicap in which he struggled at Aintree and this is easier. |

12st 0lb |
Three-time chase winner; just missed out at Uttoxeter in March (2m4f) and it was a Class 2 in which he couldn't land any real blow the last time; can cope with this mark and should go well in this easier race. |

Rebounded from poor performance and went down fighting when second at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) last month; up in grade and 2lb higher but ran very well over C&D on both previous visits to Chepstow, more notably when winning by 3l on good ground a year ago. |
