2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 104y |
11st 3lb |
Better chaser than hurdler, third win coming in 3m Kempton handicap in January (good); better again when second in better-class contest over same C&D following month, disappointingly never counted in Ultima at Cheltenham latest; possibly best going right-handed so could go well here, especially if ground continues to dry out. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
Won at Kempton (3m, good) in January and good second in competitive handicap there (3m, good to soft) last month; could give another good account but he didn't quite stay when fifth here (extended 3m2f, good to soft) in December and it's possible he'll again prove vulnerable up the hill. |

2nd 5 |
21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Closely matched with Deep Cave on their Bangor clash in November (soft) and, back at 3m from 3m2f, he dug deep for a course win last month (good); only went up 1lb for that and the runner-up ran well in defeat last weekend at Ascot. |

23rd Sep 2025 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Won well off 4lb lower at Aintree in May (3m1f, good) and a 4lb higher mark doesn't look too damaging; strongly considered as fitness is unlikely to be an issue given his yard. |

27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Record of 2-4 since switched to hunter chases in January and he ran well to finish six of 24 in the Foxhunters' at Aintree (2m5f) last month; on career-high mark back in a handicap but he hasn't been far off his best this year and he has won over 3m1f in the past; respected. |
7/2 |

6th 19 |
9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Won on his first hunter chase start at Hereford (2m5f, soft) in January and bounced back from a heavy defeat behind Golden Son at Taunton (2m7f, heavy) to win at Leicester (2m, good to soft) last month; however, he needs a clear career best if he's to win this. |
25/1 |

1st 3 |
6th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Made a bright start to hunter chases when beating Stattler (subsequent winner) at Hereford (2m5f, soft) in January and, although well beaten at Taunton (2m7f) when trying to match strides with Golden Son last month, he likely continues in form; leading contender dropped back to 2m for the first time, with fewer questions to answer than most. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Rather in and out, and followed a Ludlow win (3m, good to soft) in December with a listless fourth over the same C&D three weeks ago; needs first-time headgear to inject some sparkle. |
6/1 |
|
4th 2 |
26th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Returned to form with hard-fought C&D (good to soft) win in December, his second C&D success, and was nudged up only 1lb for that; obvious contender if in similar mood again. |
3/1 |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Went up 5lb for winning a 3m handicap that fell apart at Ludlow (good to soft) in February and that was under a 3lb claimer; probably has no margin for error off this mark and that spells danger in this warm a race; that said, his Chepstow run after a break was encouraging. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
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. |
4/1 |

2nd 7 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 104y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Won two in a row last May (3m5f/3m3f, good) and returned to form to win at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) last month following a break; this 9yo has never defied a mark this high but it may be within range if he's once more at the top of his game. |
10/1 |

1st 4 |
5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Standard-bearer for his yard; mixed bag in class 3s since the autumn, but back down to his last winning mark of May 2025 and zero stamina concerns; ground coming right again (all wins on good or good to soft). |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Defied a virtually identical absence to today's at Perth this time last year (good); inconsistent when last seen, however, and over three and a half years since he last lowered a mark in the 120s. |

15th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |

Course winner here last September (2m4f, good); back to winning ways last time at Ffos Las (3m, good to soft); interesting contender off this 5lb higher mark. |
