15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Long in the tooth now but looked as good as ever last year and was very respectable third over C&D (soft) in December; needs to rebound from a below-par run here on New Year's Day but recent 2lb drop helps, and he has gone well for 10lb claimer Dominic Hislop before. |

Doesn't have many miles on the clock for a veteran (2-26) and was just ahead of Evenwood Sonofagun and Dalileo when all three were no match for an improver over C&D 17 days ago; can run well again with 10lb claimer Dominic Hislop retaining the ride. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Three-time C&D winner, most recently in May; needs to bounce back from below-par run here three weeks ago but probably still on a workable mark; dangerous to ignore. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Yard also runs Rauzan but this one has three C&D wins from six visits here; latest win was last month and he went close under 7lb penalty over 3m1f here two days later; those were his only two runs since latest wind surgery; raised another 4lb today but he has to be on the shortlist. |

Won the 2m6f handicap on this card 12 months ago and returned to form with a 2l success over that same trip on Monday (following a wind operation); did that comfortably and must have every chance under a penalty. |

10st 8lb |
Made a winning start over fences at Newcastle (2m7f) in October; has failed to build on it though and she unseated her rider at Hexham (3m) two weeks ago; has a bit to prove. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |

Won a three-runner handicap at Newcastle in October (3m, good) but hasn't done quite as well since; back on her last winning mark. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 4 |

Won a three-runner handicap at Newcastle on chase debut in October (2m7f, good); no easy task when pulled up in Lincolnshire National last time; unexposed as a chaser and should improve. |

26th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
2-3 over fences after his workmanlike 3l win at Perth (3m, good) where he was returning from wind surgery and wore first-time blinkers; went up 7lb but gets in here off a low weight and there could be further progress in him. |
5/1 |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Profited from a final-fence mistake from Defying Gravity to make winning C&D chase debut (good to soft; 7-4 favourite, from 6lb lower) in May; didn't jump with fluency when runner-up at Worcester (beaten over 8l) next time; back from wind surgery, with headgear also tweaked. |

2nd 2 |
6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Broke his duck over hurdles after a few near misses and made a winning start to fences at Perth (3m) on his return from a break last month, albeit narrowly with the second making a costly error at the last; lacked fluency there but kept on well and, although a 6lb higher mark asks a question, another bold bid can be expected. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Came from off the pace to make it course win number five last month, brushing off a 6lb rise for his previous C&D win; the handicapper has taken another swipe (further 6lb rise) and this is the highest mark that he has competed from in over three years; a hat-trick is a possibility nevertheless. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Course regular who looked as good as ever when keeping on strongly from off the pace for clearcut C&D (good) win ten days ago; 6lb higher in a stronger race today but can make his presence felt again. |
4/1 |
|
1st 5 |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Perth regular, with three course wins, including from 3lb higher in this last year; plugged on from an impossible position to finish a modest third over C&D (Creadan Grace fifth) 25 days ago; he's into the twilight of his career, so others make more appeal. |

11st 8lb |
Left behind previous two modest runs to finish a 2.25l second of 13 at Wexford (3m, good) in first-time blinkers (retained); should be in the mix if the headgear works again. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y |

Went close at Perth and Galway over this trip last year but well below that form in two starts this year, pulled up at Cartmel 27 days ago; needs more in first-time blinkers. |

10st 9lb |
Placed in two 2m7f Kelso chases last autumn (good/good to soft) but returned from break with two underwhelming runs here (3m1f/2m5f) last month and is not sure to be suited by this drop in trip; cheekpieces refitted. |
