24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Splendid old-timer who has won both confined novice (2019) and grassroots (2025) incarnations of this race (each on good); always held by a match-fit and five-years younger rival on this month's seasonal return, albeit beaten just 2l; likely to be spot on for his title defence. |

Stratford record of P3322 includes a John Corbet third to Law Of Gold in 2019; no doubting his appetite for the game remains judged on scores in a Howick open and (latest) the Dunraven Bowl at Chepstow, but he'd be the oldest winner of this race since 15-year-old Otter Way in 1983. |

Fourth in this race under James King last year; weakening late efforts in a lightish handicap chase campaign since, converting a 4l last-fence lead into a narrow defeat back over this C&D in November (good). |

3-3 in open points across a variety of going types this term, with March's Didmarton success franked by the runner-up at Kimble last weekend; twice a non-finisher over today's C&D previously, but his earlier 2m3.5f second here (good to soft) remains a career-best effort judged on RPRs; player. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Useful handicap chaser in his prime but very lightly raced in recent years; remote when third of seven at Taunton (2m7f, heavy; behind Haven't Time) last month and current ability remains tricky to gauge but he ought to be better suited by the less testing ground here and might be boosted by the refitted cheekpieces. |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Ran really well in defeat in some tough handicap chases in 2022-23 season and a good case can be made on that form; however, this 11yo has raced just three times since and is hard to fancy on that more recent evidence. |
12/1 |

25th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Only a second outing since his bet365 Gold Cup third of two years ago when fourth in a 3m4f Cothelstone mixed open last month (good; no extra 2 out); couldn't insist his present rating is still warranted on that evidence but some ability clearly remains, and he won't mind any cut. |

He'd rate a most poignant local winner following the passing of Ross Farr last week, but recent defeats in maiden points underline he has the most to find of any here. |

Poor form under rules (three hurdles/one chase) for this yard before suffering five further defeats in points; too far out of the weights to warrant a second look. |

Won a point in January but was pulled up on all three rules starts this year, most recently when back in a handicap for stable debut three weeks ago; has too much to prove. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Novice hurdle and point winner who ran respectably when close second of two in a point-to-point in May; however, his form has been patchy this year and he was pulled up in a hunter chase in April; others arrive with more pressing claims. |

Dug in well to hold on in a Cocklebarrow conditions point in January (3m, good) but has failed to complete thrice since; chance likely increases if conditions quicken, but others still convince more. |
