1st 3 |
22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 2f 208y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Won two soft-ground chases (both 2m3f) in early 2025 and has posted some good efforts in defeat this season; looked laboured and was below form here (2m, soft) last month but can be dangerous off current mark if back on song in first-time cheekpieces. |

4th 4 |
26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won three times last season on soft/heavy ground; runner-up on first three starts this term then fifth at Exeter (2m1f, good to soft) 17 days ago when three places behind Royal Mer; today's forecast slow ground could aid her cause. |
9/4 |

1st 6 |
22nd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Three-time hurdle winner who kept on well to make winning chase debut at Exeter (2m1f, soft) last month; pulled up at Wincanton since, having made made jumping errors at consecutive fences, but still has scope to for further progress in this sphere. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Won over C&D (good to soft) in the autumn and he got back on the scoresheet at Taunton (2m7f, heavy) in February; ran another good race when third at Taunton (good) last month and he should be in the mix again on this drop back in trip. |

3rd 1 |
9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Gained his second success of the season over C&D last month; up 3lb but he remains unexposed over this sort of trip and is not taken lightly. |
3/1 |
|
1st 2 |
3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 3y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Returned from layoff with two good runs (one win) over 2m5f in the autumn and bounced back quickly from a lesser effort when third at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) just after Christmas; not yet proven over this far under rules but seems versatile ground-wise and can make his presence felt. |

11st 12lb |
Fourth in this race under James King last year; weakening late efforts in a lightish handicap chase campaign since, converting a 4l last-fence lead into a narrow defeat back over this C&D in November (good). |

22nd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Course winner over hurdles last season (2m3f, heavy) and made quite promising chase debut in December; yet to build on that performance but was in contention before bad jumping error seemed to knock the stuffing out of him in the straight here a fortnight ago (first-time visor); no surprise if he gets his act together over fences soon. |

22nd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Very lightly raced 7yo who comfortably won Wetherby novice hurdle (2m, soft) in December; just a respectable fourth of six on recent chase/handicap debut at Carlisle (2m, soft) but today's longer trip is likely to suit him and he probably still has potential. |
