4th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
9-28 over fences, the latest win gained at Chepstow (2m7f, good to firm) in October; below that form three times on good to soft ground since but didn't run badly on penultimate appearance and will be better suited by the forecast good ground here; might be the answer. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 125y Class 2 |
12st 1lb |
Strike-rate of 9-27 over fences and his third in a veterans' chase at Newbury in February (3m2f) was encouraging given he had been absent for three months and good to soft ground would have been slow enough; should run well. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 214y Class 2 |
12st 2lb |
Successful in similar event at Chepstow in October (penultimate start) and returns from another break with Rian Corcoran taking off a useful 7lb; however, chance largely depends on what the weather does (ideally needs a sound surface). |

29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
10st 13lb |
Chase wins have been at Wexford and Sligo on decent ground, latter occasion when beating Jesse Evans 3.5l at levels in October when last seen, albeit steady pace possibly suited; has run well fresh and has his ground here, so one to consider. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 5f 27y |
11st 10lb |
Rated 132; has caught the eye in some valuable handicap chases but consistency is not his strong suit and he has unseated, pulled up and been beaten 28l on his last three starts; capable of running well but comes with risks attached. |
12/1 |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 180y |
11st 5lb |
Won on chase debut in a Wexford beginners' in 2023 (2m4f, yielding); best run in recent times was a 4.5l second at the Punchestown festival off his current mark (2m4f, yielding); he has been poor in three runs following that and Kennedy prefers Mars Harper. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 136y |
11st 4lb |
Won the big race on this card three years ago, but handicapper had him after that and well held in this last year; recent form in points/hunter chases doesn't look good enough, but has been dropped sharply in the ratings. |

11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 0y |

Classy operator at his best for Gordon Elliott; good to see him win a recent point but that was hard work and others in here appeal more. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Returned to form with clear win off much-reduced mark at Ludlow (3m1f, good to soft) in December but three non-completions have followed, most recently when he was pulled up back at Ludlow last month; others look safer. |

30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Won this race three years ago and gained his first win since when drawing clear over 3m1f back here in December; since then he's suffered a heavy fall at Sandown and an unfortunate early unseat at Kempton but respected back here as he could still be in fair form. |
5/1 |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Mid-race faller in the Stayers' Veterans' Final at Sandown last time; ended a long losing spell with his Ludlow performance in most recent completed start and he remains well treated on historical data, which includes a useful win over this C&D. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Six-time course winner who was runner-up in this race last year (good to soft); has since gained two C&D wins on good ground, latest in September; has plenty going for him; leading contender. |
100/30 |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Gained all six chase wins at Perth, most recently when scrambling home by a short head (3m, good) last month; may not be seen to quite the same effect over this C&D but is only 2lb higher today and evidently in good nick. |
4/1 |

1st 4 |
24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Five-time course winner, most recently in Perth Gold Cup over today's trip in June (good ground); didn't really fire in Market Rasen's Summer Plate in July but this race is much less competitive, and the return to this track is an obvious plus. |

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). |

19th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 10y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Gained the last three of his seven hurdle wins over C&D (including 2024 edition of this race); absent since two small-field seconds in October (2m5f/2m7f) but there's a good chance he'll be primed for a big run on this return to Huntingdon. |
9/2 |

21st Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 25y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Record of 7-17 over hurdles and just missed out on return to this discipline last week at Hereford (2m5f, good; stays this far); only three completed that day but this 8yo should again be seriously involved. |
4/5 |
|
1 |
13th Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 163y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Record of 7-16 over hurdles; started off promisingly over fences with two seconds in small fields but disappointing the last twice; on a competitive mark back over hurdles. |
