11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 5lb |
One of several who are now in the veteran stage but also in the form of their lives; 7l winner at Haydock (extended 3m1f) in November and returned there with an excellent, rallying second in the Grand National Trial (extended 3m4f, again good to soft) in February; ridden last three starts by Toby McCain-Mitchell; back up 2lb and an interesting prospect for 4m2f but this is a much stronger race. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
10yo who posted a career-best performance with comfortable win here (extended 3m1f, good to soft) in November, and he's also won on soft ground; not written off after just one below-par run but he was well held in the Tommy Whittle here in December and has to leave that effort miles behind. |

21st Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Took very well to fences last season, winning three times over 3m (good to soft-soft), but returned with two disappointing runs in the autumn; needs to get back on track and will have something to prove if the ground stays good (unraced on anything quicker than good to soft). |

24th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 185y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Hasn't been at her best of late (behind Smurfette latest) but she has the form to feature off this mark and won't mind getting back on drier ground; stays this far; possible. |
4/1 |

2nd Mar 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |

Solid record off current mark comprises a success at Huntingdon in 2024 and second-place finishes in this race last year and at Ffos Las in October; not ruled out. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Gave good account when second on seasonal debut at Ffos Las (3m1f, soft) in October and remains on a workable mark but her latest run was disappointing and she'd arguably appeal more on better ground than is forecast. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 146y Class 1 |
10st 5lb |
Failed to fire in the Eider at Newcastle on penultimate start; commendable otherwise this season, making all in the Southern National at Fontwell (3m3f, good to soft), fourth in Welsh Grand National at Chepstow (3m7f, good to soft) and short-headed at Exeter (3m7f, good) five weeks ago; raised another 2lb but has place claims. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Made all in Southern National at Fontwell (3m3f, good to soft) on seasonal debut in November and was commendable fourth in Welsh Grand National at Chepstow (3m6f, good to soft) just after Christmas; didn't fire in last month's Eider at Newcastle but still features prominently in calculations; placed the only time he raced on good ground. |
11/4 |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 4m 1f 56y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Made all under Callum Pritchard in the Southern National at Fontwell (extended 3m3f, good to soft) on reappearance in November, clear from four out and holding on by a neck from a strong finisher; came from mid-division when creditable fourth in the Welsh National at Chepstow (extended 3m6f) and having a crack at 4m+ now makes appeal; one to consider. |

13th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Multiple hurdle/chase winner but he's lost his way since a 2m4f success at Ffos Las (good to soft) last June and has offered little in three runs this season; well treated on his best form but with plenty to prove. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Multiple hurdle/chase winner; unseated rider in early stages of a chase last month, after a layoff, and was tailed-off 66-1 shot when back over hurdles at Worcester (2m7f, good) 17 days ago; others have much less to prove. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
7-39, with three wins over hurdles, but he's hard to predict and was badly out of sorts in the autumn; unseated early on last month's return and reverts to hurdles off his last winning mark, but it's difficult to know what to expect. |

Very useful in Ireland in his prime but 0-7 and generally very disappointing for Evan Williams since last autumn; returns from break on another career-low mark but considered only if lively in the betting. |

High-class hurdler/chaser in his prime but has struggled for a long time now and although this is a welcome drop in grade he continues with something to prove; cheekpieces discarded. |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Triple hurdle winner who is 3-9 over fences but he's been pulled up in last three runs and latest was over C&D (heavy) two weeks ago; that was after a lengthy absence but he's now an 11yo and he needs a big turnaround. |
12/1 |

29th Jan 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 30y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Record of 3-8 as a chaser but confined to just three races last season and wasn't anywhere near his best (including when pulled up behind Collectors Item); now an 11yo so perhaps asking a bit much for him to rediscover his peak form; has won on heavy. |

21st Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
3-7 over fences; ran well when third (albeit well held in the end) in valuable Haydock handicap (3m1f, soft) on seasonal debut in November but was pulled up when last in action and the forecast good ground may not be ideal for him here. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Veteran who is on a losing run but ran well enough for a long way in a Class 2 handicap at Chepstow two months ago (2m7f, good to soft) to command respect at this lower level; goes well on this ground. |
6/1 |

11th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won twice over C&D in 2023-24 season and ran well when fourth over C&D in February but this 12yo is far too inconsistent to rely upon nowadays, and has been absent since two heavy defeats in the spring. |
20/1 |

24th Apr 2025 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 3 |

10st 7lb |
Placed four consecutive times (2m7f-3m6f) after his C&D (heavy) win in first-time blinkers just under a year ago; still on a workable mark but was pulled up when tried in a visor last month and is untested on ground faster than good to soft. |

7th Feb 2025 Soft 3m 5f 142y Class 4 |

Lightly raced 9yo who has been consistent in staying chases at up to 3m1f but stamina appeared stretched over 3m6f at Exeter (soft) last time; will need to see this out better and the change of headgear is a grey area. |
