28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Won three times (all 2m4f, good) in early part of last season and returned from break with pretty good fourth here (2m3f, good) in April but has looked out of sorts on recent outings and needs to turn a corner. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Two of his four wins over fences have been over C&D but he has been well below that level recently and is hard to fancy. |
16/1 |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Four chase wins include two here, one in this race last year; creditable return from a break at Fontwell in April but he's struggled in two Warwick runs since, the step up to 3m seemingly not the main issue last time; just below his latest winning mark though so hard to dismiss. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Well treated on his old form but his last win was in December 2024 and he's finished down the field in his three completed starts this year; cheekpieces now return but he needs to raise his game. |
12/1 |

26th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Returned from break with two below-par runs towards the end of last season and suffered mid-race mishap on latest outing this month but he has slipped to a good mark and can't be ruled out. |
7/1 |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Last win came in December 2024 off 6lb higher; hasn't been firing on all cylinders recently but is down to a career-low mark and cannot dismiss. |

17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
8lb out of the weights when prevailing by 2l over C&D ten days ago for which he carries a penalty; therefore, 1lb lower now, but whether he'll back that up remains to be seen. |
3/1 |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Fair third over hurdles last September but struggled in that sphere subsequently and soundly beaten on recent chase debut here; 0-15 over hurdles/fences and 9lb out of the handicap this afternoon. |
14/1 |

18th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-14 over hurdles, having been pulled up on his last two outings; might be boosted by the refitted cheekpieces on this chasing debut but looks far too risky. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Regressive 10yo who is better known as a chaser now and was just a modest third at Warwick (2m4f, good to soft) on New Year's Eve; reverts to hurdling on a tempting mark but others have more appealing profiles. |
12/1 |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Has some fairly useful form on his CV but has become disappointing; returned from a break with respectable fourth in modest Worcester handicap (2m, good) in June but his 2m4f run there in July was below that level. |

Lightly raced in recent years and has been disappointing since winning an Irish maiden hurdle in 2022; hard to make a case for. |

Lightly raced and very disappointing since Irish maiden hurdle win in 2022; well beaten when back under rules at Warwick (3m, good) a fortnight ago; drops sharply back in trip here. |

Didn't run badly from the front at Warwick (2m, good) but that was three months ago and this 10yo hasn't won since 2022. |
