2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Resumed winning ways over fences at Stratford (2m1f) in March but below par both runs since, beating just one in 2m4f Warwick handicap chase last month; needs to take a big step forward back in this sphere. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Landed his fourth win over fences at Stratford in March (2m1f, soft) but his Huntingdon third was remote and some inconsistency has crept in. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Back to his best after a three-month break when landing his fourth win over fences at Stratford (2m1f, soft) last month; up 5lb but recorded back-to-back victories around this time last year so not to be taken lightly. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Has won three races over fences, the latest off this mark over C&D in October (good); has not been in top form last few starts; could bounce back. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Has only won over fences (three times) and still held some sort of chance when unseating nine days ago at Market Rasen; his hurdle form isn't so convincing, though. |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |

Has won three chases, the latest at Hexham in October; not at his best on last two runs but on a fair mark now and could go well. |

1st Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 59y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Has modest strike-rate and is very inconsistent but has slipped to a good mark and ran well over C&D on his only previous visit Fakenham; cheekpieces (missing when tailed off at Fontwell last month) are refitted here; can be dangerous if in the right mood. |

3rd Mar 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
13yo who has inconsistent recent form but was successful (off 1lb lower) in December on most recent Southwell start; not ruled out. |

13th Feb 2025 Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Multiple chase winner who made it three for the year at Southwell (2m, good to soft) in December; hasn't run to the same level since, a recent second at Huntingdon being a remote one, and others further up the list. |
14/1 |

11st 7lb |
Veteran who had a clearcut win at Southwell (2m, good to soft) in December from Extraordinary Man, his 11th chase win; not so good at Hereford or Warwick (on Tuesday) since, however. |

25th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Hurdle winner who made it third-time lucky over fences when justifying favouritism at Huntingdon (extended 2m7f, good) two weeks ago; up 5lb but he was as good as ever with that clearcut win and is open to more progress at staying trips; big player in new headgear. |

11th Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Winning hurdler but a hard ride and needed lots of driving before staying on into third on his second chase start at Fontwell two weeks ago (2m5f, good); at least he arrives in some form and this longer trip is worth a go. |

25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Reliable veteran who was in good form when last seen, finishing third on his last three runs; won this off 1lb lower last year and he's worth considering back from a break. |
5/2 |

8th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Just one win from 24 starts but that was by 11l over fences at Hereford (2m, good) in March and he ran into a handicap blot there in final run in the spring; looks interesting off 3lb lower on his return and his win was under Shane Quinlan. |
