17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
No closer than 6.5l in five runs over fences but had made a pleasing start in this discipline only to underperform the last twice; cheekpieces tried last time are removed. |

11st 4lb |
No match for clear winners when second on last two outings, the latter over C&D, but they were both pretty good efforts and today's forecast slower ground might suit him better; one to consider. |

12st 0lb |
0-8 over hurdles; made quite promising chase debut when second of five at Worcester (2m7f, good) three months ago but we haven't seen him again since and he probably needs to improve here. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Went close over C&D in May but has become rather unreliable and latest third here was quite remote; still needs respecting in this bad a race. |

7th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Stayed on from the rear to go close off today's mark over C&D (good) in May but has poor strike-rate in recent years and is unreliable nowadays; chance probably depends upon what mood he's in. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Veteran who was beaten just a neck when last seen at Fontwell (3m2f, good) in May, but he isn't very consistent and has a moderate strike-rate; others preferred. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Landed his fourth win over fences, at Market Rasen (3m, good) last month but below his best at Fontwell since; is the type to bounce back and he should get the trip (has won over 3m2f). |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Progressive 7yo who has form figures of 1221141 over fences since September; only two completed when he scored at Market Rasen (3m, good) 19 days ago but he still looks on a workable mark and his first chase win was over C&D; strongly respected. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
In excellent form on good ground in the autumn, winning three times over fences (3m1f-3m2f); well behind Dangerous Touch when reappearing in four-runner race at Huntingdon last month but might have needed that outing and his usual cheekpieces are refitted here. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
In a new visor he won two 3m2f handicap chases at Newton Abbot last August; has looked too high in the weights since then and he's 0-11 as a hurdler; others preferred. |
8/1 |

13th Apr 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Won twice in a visor at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good/good to soft) last summer; untested beyond that trip and absent since respectable second of three in the autumn (without headgear, as today) but current mark is workable if he's fully tuned up. |
6/1 |

20th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Struck form in new visor in August, winning twice at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good/good to soft) by clear margins, but suffered big dip in form on next two outings and was unable to land a telling blow when fourth in refitted cheekpieces at Newton Abbot on Saturday (albeit not beaten far in the end); no headgear today. |

7th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Made it 3-3 over fences in May 2022 but this 10yo has run just three times since and been pulled up/tailed off on each occasion; tried a visor last time; has cheekpieces refitted today; needs to prove some ability remains. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Won his first three starts over fences (2m4f-3m2f) between November 2021 and May 2022 including a success here, but has only made the track twice since then and was pulled up both times; first-time visor and the assistance of Sean Bowen (1-1 on him) are the straws to grasp at. |
