18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
10st 7lb |
In a solid run of form but this is a tough mark for an exposed 9yo and he's undergone a fourth wind operation since finishing fifth at Perth in early June. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
On a hat-trick when a fairly close third in this last year and he returns off a 4lb lower mark, and in a solid run of form; enters the reckoning. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 3 |

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. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Successful when last seen over hurdles but this looks a tougher assignment and his most recent win (penultimate start) was achieved in a 4m1f hunter chase; others preferred. |
14/1 |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Resumed winning ways after six months off in 4m1f hunter chase at Warwick (good) 22 days ago; effective over this much shorter trip and this likeable front-runner is not out of things. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 6f 121y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
If the ground is bordering on good then this 8yo could take some beating as he hosed up at Warwick last month (3m, good) on his second run after a break; the 8lb rise isn't the end of the world. |
100/30 |
|
1st 8 |
26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Following a break he reverted to fences at Kempton (3m) 12 days ago and returned to form with a 3l second on his favoured good ground; that performance reads well and he's high on the list today. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 8 |
14th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Can go well fresh; returns from a break on a favourable mark, just 1lb higher than his latest chase win, at Worcester (2m7f, good) last July; bled from the nose when tailed off over hurdles in October so wellbeing unknown but has possibilities, especially if the ground is good. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Bounced back to form and won soft-ground marathons at Banger (3m5f) and Hexham (4m) in February/March; pulled up (lame) in early stages at Plumpton last time but has made the frame in the last two editions of this race (both on good ground) and can make his presence felt again. |
7/1 |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 104y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Exploited a reduced mark to win at Bangor (3m5f, soft) in February and again had plenty in hand at Hexham (4m, soft) 12 days ago; this is a hotter race than last time and this 10yo is up 10lb, but he's clearly in rude health and could be bang there once more; handles any ground. |
7/1 |

1st 6 |
25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 7f 199y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Exploited a reduced mark to win readily at Bangor (extended 3m5f, soft) four weeks ago; on last season's evidence a 9lb rise is unlikely to stop him if he can back up that latest performance; high on the list. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Two small-field wins around 3m on good in the autumn; went off the boil subsequently but very much back on his game when second of 11 at Chepstow 17 days ago; raised 5lb for pulling clear of the rest but it looks justified given the third was successful back at Chepstow last week. |

2nd 3 |
15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |

Two small-field wins in the autumn but his form has dipped and he was last to complete at Huntingdon most recently (2m7f, heavy). |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
He's struggled on his last four starts but is now 3lb lower than when winning at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) last April and his southern trainer has a very healthy 24% strike-rate here; interesting, especially if backed. |

18th Nov 2025 Good 2m 6f 10y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Went up 40lb for winning six handicap chases last season (also won twice over hurdles); below par in three runs this season; needs to bounce back after a 139-day break. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Scored off 3lb lower mark at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) in April but well held subsequently at Fakenham (3m5f, good) and here over hurdles in May; looks too high in the weights. |

27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Ended 2025 with two wins at Southwell (3m, soft/good to soft), looking in particularly good nick on latter occasion; struggled from just out of the weights in last week's Surrey National at Lingfield but enters calculations in this easier race. |
14/1 |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 4f 178y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Ended 2025 with two wins at Southwell (3m, soft/good to soft); contests this much stronger race from 3lb out of the weights but he looked in particularly good nick on his latest outing and this trip should be fine. |
16/1 |

4th 9 |
11th Sep 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
The last of six chase wins was at Southwell (3m2f, good to soft) in March; very mixed since then and wouldn't be the percentage call. |
