23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
11yo who was tailed off at Cheltenham in December and pulled up at Haydock this month on sole run since; arrives with something to prove but three visits to Perth have yielded two wins, including this race in 2023, so he's worth a second look; a first-time visor replaces cheekpieces. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Inconsistent last year but won twice (3m/2m4f, good/soft), those victories coming on the back of respective breaks of 89 and 120 days; may be best caught fresh nowadays so is worth a second look after 113 days off. |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Back in rude health over C&D (good) in May, easily beating Saint Arvans to win by 20l, and his subsequent Market Rasen fourth (2m5f, good) was also a good effort; still well handicapped on old form; shortlisted. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Win/placed form in his usual cheekpieces before making all for a narrow success in the newly fitted visor (with tongue-tie worn for last seven starts) at Cartmel (2m5f, good); he's getting high in the weights now (raised another 4lb) and he won't be the only one racing prominently. |

1st 3 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
In fine fettle in recent runs, landing his fifth win over fences at Kelso (2m5f, good) in April and placed since at Aintree and Perth; swaps cheekpieces for a first-time visor and looks sure to give another good account. |
3/1 |

2nd 9 |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Career bests on the RPR front in his last two races, winning at Kelso (2m5f) and close up at Aintree (2m4f; again on good); could run well, though a nagging concern that he didn't appear to stay 3m when he tried it once before (at this track). |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 4f 19y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Has won four chases, latest at Kelso in April (2m7f, good); mixed form since, including fair third back at Kelso last time (3m2f, good); a possible, though perhaps better at further these days. |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Captured this prize a year ago and in good form until ridden aggressively when tenth in 2m5f Cartmel handicap chase 23 days ago; it would come as no surprise to see him play a major role here. |

29th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 5f 146y |

3m winner at Perth in July; respectable in defeat the last twice without looking ahead of her mark; each-way claims. |

6th 1 |
8th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 6f 111y |
11st 12lb |
Won a 3m event at Perth in July; unseated four out at Wexford, moderate run at the same venue on next start; better at Kilbeggan last time, took third after a mistake at the last; staying type who has won over 3m2f. |
8/1 |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 180y |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Four-time C&D winner; returned from break with two low-key runs this spring (hurdle/chase) but may have been aided by refitted cheekpieces when running big race in defeat here (2m4f, good) ten days ago; up in grade today but still on a good mark and this return to 3m is sure to suit. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Veteran who has won six chases, three over C&D on good/heavy, all in September; has shaped as though needing the race when below par in two runs this year (first was over hurdles); could go well. |
3/1 |
|
4th 4 |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Veteran who gained four of his six chase wins over C&D and is versatile regarding ground; well beaten when 50-1 for 2m4f hurdle here last month, after a layoff, but that was also the case before he bounced back to form and finished second in this race a year ago; can't be ignored. |

8th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Beaten 20l when second two starts back and then behind Wasdell Dundalk over C&D two months ago; an 11yo now and powers are on the wane. |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Getting long in the tooth now and was not at his best on any of three outings in the spring, most recently when remote second behind Whistleinthedark over C&D; on a very good mark now, though, and might be boosted by refitted cheekpieces today. |
7/1 |

15th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Good-ground performer; last win was over C&D in June 2023 (good); some fair efforts since; back on a decent mark; needs to improve on recent efforts. |
10/1 |
