18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Appreciated the step back up to 3m when winning at Warwick (good) in May but he was a well-held fourth when favourite at Worcester (2m7f) last month; has bit to prove again after that and this is competitive. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Showed the benefit of April's reappearance when back up to a more suitable stamina test off a reduced mark and winning at Warwick (3m, good) the following month; back up 3lb but Freddie Keighley can claim his full allowance; a big player if repeating the effort. |

Unseated rider last time; two good runs over fences before that, including when 12l second to Camino Rocio (10lb worse off) over 2m6f here in November; 3m point winner so this trip should suit; place chance. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
A three-time scorer (including over C&D) last season; hinted at a revival when a never-nearer fifth over 3m4f at Taunton last month so needs considering off a slipping mark. |
10/1 |

5th 4 |
9th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 85y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Five-time chase winne, the latest at Ffos Las (3m4f, good) off this mark in October; has been below par in three runs since but his usual cheekpieces are back on and he may appreciate this better ground. |
6/1 |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Readily beat a stablemate in small-field marathon here (3m4f, good) in October and will be fine on today's slower ground but his two runs towards the end of last year were disappointing and he needs to have been refreshed by 101-day break. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Returned from break with 36l defeat in April but last month's Fontwell fourth (3m2f, good) was more encouraging and the cheekpieces (worn for the second of last year's two chase wins) are now back on; won't mind if the ground is quicker than good; can't be ruled out. |
7/1 |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Battled well for narrow win off today's mark at Hereford (3m1f, good; wore cheekpieces) in the autumn but was given break after disappointing effort in December and again ran poorly when reappearing (without cheekpieces) last month; the cheekpieces are missing again here; stablemate Prince Cleni has much stronger claims. |
10/1 |

6th 6 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Landed his second success over fences, at Hereford (3m1f, good) in October off 1lb lower mark; second at Plumpton the following month but was tailed off at Wincanton when last seen; has been freshened up since and holds claims if putting his best foot forward. |

0-4 in Irish points and soundly beaten at this track (2m/2m4f, on soft) in his three hurdle races; tongue tied last time; absent 745 days before this handicap and chase debut, so has lots to prove. |

Kept on well for second over C&D (heavy) in April, her second run after a long absence; will be fine on today's much faster ground but her form has slumped badly in recent weeks. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |

25th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Kept on well for clear second at Newton Abbot (3m2f, heavy) last month, her second run after a long absence, and will be fine on the faster ground here but was behind a couple of today's rivals when well-held sixth over C&D 18 days ago and, on balance, others appeal more; 1lb out of the weights. |
