14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
Won the 3m novice handicap chase on this card 12 months ago (good to soft) when 5lb lower and he produced a similar effort to finish second at Plumpton in January (3m1f, soft); however, this race demands a career best and on the back of a laboured display at Ludlow. |

26th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Won this race in first-time cheekpieces a year ago (soft ground) and followed up in valuable event at Uttoxeter (3m, good to soft) last March; made disappointing start to current campaign but last month's second of four at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) was much better and his current mark ought to be workable; respected. |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won two in a row when cheekpieces first fitted (3m; soft and good to soft) last spring; hard to judge current wellbeing as he's been running in better races since back from a break but he was soundly beaten in his only completion and fell early at Ascot only nine days ago. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
His chase form has been mixed this season but he faced a tough task from out of the handicap at the Cheltenham Festival (pulled up); runner-up at Kempton (2m5f) in November on last hurdle start and he was second over fences at this meeting 12 months ago (3m); might not be a forlorn hope today. |
25/1 |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
9yo who was progressive last season, winning three times (2m5f/3m, good/good to soft); he didn't run badly when fifth at Ascot (3m, soft) in January last time but is 9lb out of the handicap today, so faces a tough task. |
66/1 |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 185y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Form dipped last time but otherwise a consistent sort and may rebound; however, looks considerably more exposed than some of these rivals and possibly has nothing in hand off current mark. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Made a bad mistake on penultimate outing but he won starts either side and latest was the 4m2f Midlands National at Uttoxeter (soft) in which he was always prominent and asserted by 8l on run-in, with Git Maker in third; up 7lb but his only attempt at a marathon trip brought a clear career best. |

1st 5 |
14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Beat none other than Haiti Couleurs over hurdles; their respective careers have headed in very different directions and this 8yo is only 1-7 over fences, the win coming in a small field at Exeter two runs back (3m, heavy); since then he lost his position after a bad mistake at Wincanton (3m2f); may yet have more to offer over an extreme distance such as this but he certainly needs it. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 7f 68y |
10st 8lb |
Began this campaign with 3m1f Aintree handicap win in December (good-to-soft) but hasn't repeated that sort of form in three runs since, including treated for post-race heat stress after Eider Chase fifth; most recently never nearer fourth under top-weight in lesser 3m2f Kelso contest; more needed but not one to rule out. |
10/1 |

4th 2 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 39y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Did well last season; kicked off this campaign with a 3l win at Aintree (3m1f, good to soft) on Boxing Day and didn't run badly in valuable races on next two outings, last time in the Eider after which he was treated for post-race heat stress; he was joint-favourite for that and this race isn't as demanding. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Sole win in eight chases came in a three-runner novice but he was racing beyond 3m for the first time when not beaten far in the Welsh National and again he was very competitive in the Grand National Trial at Haydock (3m4f, good to soft; could prove even better on soft); handicap mark hasn't really gone anywhere and he appeals as a likely type for this. |
8/1 |
|
4th 5 |
14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Lightly raced 9yo who was suited by the step up in trip when third of 17 in the Welsh National at Chepstow (3m6f, good to soft) in December; he's won on soft and heavy ground and may well have more to offer over marathon trips; key player. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Won three-runner contest at Kelso (2m7f, good) in May and is still on a workable mark but never really got competitive in last month's Perth Gold Cup and needs to put that run behind him. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Made it 5-12 over fences when readily taking care of two rivals over a similar trip at Kelso a month ago (good; made most); only 3lb higher but without Jack Power's 5lb claim, so at this level he's probably in need of his best form yet. |

Won four handicaps on the trot two seasons ago (2m-2m5f, good to soft/soft); hasn't won since but was beaten only by a nose over C&D on good last time; contender. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
On a good mark now and was seemingly back in good form when close fourth of 11 at Chepstow (2m7f, soft) in February; tended to jump left and was below that level without cheekpieces at Carlisle (3m) last month but has possibilities if combination of drop back in trip, first-time blinkers and return to a left-handed track has desired effect. |
10/1 |

4th 4 |
8th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Got off the mark over fences at Wetherby (3m) in December 2024; little encouragement this term until fourth of 11 in 3m Chepstow handicap 23 days ago; this lightly raced 9yo is not out of this if able to build on that recent effort. |
5/1 |

4th 4 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Yet to strike form after three runs this season (cheekpieces added two starts ago); back on a good mark now and drops in grade today but still needs to up his game; suited by soft ground; unraced on heavy. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |

In a solid run of form but this is a tough mark for an exposed 9yo and he's undergone a fourth wind operation since finishing fifth at Perth in early June. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |

On a hat-trick when a fairly close third in this last year and he returns off a 4lb lower mark, and in a solid run of form; enters the reckoning. |

3rd 2 |
4th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 3 |

Won this race in 2025 (good ground) and returned to form towards end of last season, latterly when second to recent big-race winner Havaila in Sussex National at Plumpton (3m4f, good); high on the list. |
