25th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 146y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
3m4f resulted in an 8l win at Cheltenham last April and he's won over 3m/3m2f in two of his three starts this season; latest was the Kim Muir at Cheltenham in which he was always front rank under Shane Cotter and responded admirably when Road To Home joined him on the run-in; up 7lb but this trip makes plenty of appeal and all five chase wins have been on good ground or good to firm (withdrawn from Scottish National last week due to the heavy); has a bit to prove going right-handed, with a run here in December prompting concern, but otherwise lots to like. |

10st 11lb |
Hat-trick last year (2m7f/3m4f, good/good to firm) featured a spring win at Cheltenham; ran well for a long way before tiring at Sandown (3m4f) in December on going that was good to soft, soft in places; better ground today would be a plus for his claims. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Scored at Chepstow (3m2f) in October but he turned in a rare poor effort when pulled up in 3m5f Fakenham handicap chase in December; cheekpieces are reached for now and he's the sort to bounce back. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Scored by 4l in conditional jockeys' race at Chepstow (3m2f, good to firm) last Sunday, taking chase record to 6-16; escapes a penalty and commands respect. |

5-15 over fences; looked as good as ever when placed at Perth (3m, good) last month, after a break, and was runner-up on his only visit to Chepstow; likely contender. |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Left behind by clear winner when second at Uttoxeter (3m, good) two months ago but has now made the frame in all four chases; 5lb out of the weights here but ought to cope if the ground softens and can play a part if the first-time cheekpieces have a positive effect. |

27th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
He was looking when regressive even before pulling up in his first two runs for this yard but ran better at Taunton (2m3f, good; ridden by Kayla Ruddy), where he was no match for the front two but did come from well off the pace; possibilities; 1lb wrong. |

3rd 8 |
9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Out of sorts at the end of last term for Robert Stephens and he's been pulled up in handicaps (around 3m2f) at Fontwell and Warwick for his current yard this year; it's easy to look elsewhere. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Three-time hurdle winner but the latest was back in November 2023 and it's been a long time since he posed a serious threat; pulled up when a 3-1 shot for last month's stable and seasonal debut at Fontwell. |

16th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |

Won a C&D hunter chase last April on his rules debut but has totally failed to back up that form in three subsequent outings; potentially on a useful mark but easy to have reservations. |

16th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Better chaser than hurdler and won by over 8l here last month; a 7lb rise didn't look too harsh and she duly ran well again at Warwick, finding only one too good (again on soft); enters the reckoning. |

2nd 5 |
21st Feb 2025 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |

didn't always jump with fluency, held up in rear, headway 12th, went third after 13th, no impression approaching last, kept on and went second towards finish, no match for winner |

9th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Won her only point; handicap hurdle win came off 2lb higher and she ran two solid races in that discipline before finding only one too good on her switch to fences over C&D 12 days ago (heavy); aided by another low weight, she should have a part to play. |

10st 5lb |
Well in with Safe Destination on their clash at Uttoxeter last October and has produced similar sort of form in his last three races, all 3m handicaps on slow ground (effective on good to soft); unlikely to be far away. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 |
28th Feb 2025 Heavy 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
8yo who is 0-8 but has returned from an absence with two good runs this winter, finishing third at Uttoxeter (3m, soft) then second over this C&D (heavy); a first win looks imminent. |
9/4 |

2nd 8 |
6th Feb 2025 Heavy 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
took keen hold, in touch with leaders, headway and led before 4 out, faced challenge 3 out, headed 2 out, kept on but no chance with winner run-in |
