7th Mar 2025 Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Had been struggling but bounced back for a fourth chase success at Lingfield two weeks ago (2m, soft; made most); wouldn't be certain to repeat that form but clear claims if he can off 5lb higher. |

16th Mar 2025 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Not the best of jumpers and yet to win in four attempts over fences; spoilt chance with a bad error three out when second at Leicester last week (2m, good to soft; 6-5 favourite; cheekpieces tried); obvious contender. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 40y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Course winner who was in good form until a below-par fifth of six in 2m Warwick handicap chase 16 days ago; cheekpieces go on now and she's the sort to bounce back. |
7/4 |

5th 5 |
8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won two 2m chases last season (soft/good) and this season's largely consistent record includes a good second over C&D; current mark is workable; likely to be in the shake-up. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
24th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Largely consistent efforts this term, most recently close second at Lingfield (2m) behind a rival who was completing a hat-trick; won this race in 2024 (on heavy ground) and has solid claims despite being on a much higher mark now. |

9th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Well over three years since his only win; out of form and out of the weights; little significance in the return of cheekpieces. |
14/1 |

4th 10 |
25th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Plugged on for fairly respectable fourth at Newton Abbot (2m5f, heavy) last month but it's over three years since his only win and he's a good way out of the handicap again here. |

8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Put in pretty good front-running shift when third over C&D (good to soft) 12 days ago but he's a lot more exposed than some of these, and his two hurdling wins were gained on heavy ground. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 8 |
27th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Tailed off last time but had appreciated the return to hurdles with a second here (beaten 16l) before a 3l success at Lingfield (2m, heavy); he's able on good to soft ground if he can shrug aside that poor last run. |
7/1 |
|
4th 6 |
22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Badly out of form over fences last season but made all in a five-runner hurdle race at Lingfield (2m, heavy) this month, after a layoff, and remains on a good mark after 3lb rise; unexposed over this sort of trip; big player if able to build on that recent performance. |
