13th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Consistent and progressive 7yo who made all to score by 6l at Lingfield (2m7f, good to soft) on latest outing; has fitness to prove after 137-day break but could plausibly be seen to even better effect on the forecast faster ground here. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Won three times from the front (once over C&D) last season and lost out only narrowly in refitted cheekpieces at Plumpton (3m1f, good) a fortnight ago but this veteran is nothing like the force of old, and might find this race to competitive. |
8/1 |

2nd 3 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Veteran chaser who landed his third win of the season, over C&D (soft) in February when getting the better of Lumi Plugin; found the Sussex National back here 13 days ago a tad too competitive but cannot be dismissed here back in the right grade. |
7/2 |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 104y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Three wins in small fields this season (2m5f-3m5f, good/soft) and another good run when second of three at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) recently; however, there's a suspicion this 12yo will find today's race too competitive. |

19th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Four-time chase winner but badly out of sorts before finishing second to a surprise winner over C&D 16 days ago (visor returned); remains to be seen if he'll be as good again and he may need more anyway. |
13/2 |

2nd 1 |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |

Four-time chase winner but nothing positive to report over fences or hurdles in his last four races. |

Has four wins over fences but yet to score in this sphere; has shown nothing in his three runs for current yard. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Resumed winning ways at Newton Abbot (3m2f) last September but below par all three subsequent runs, beating one in a 3m2f Warwick handicap four weeks ago; needs to take a big step forward. |
20/1 |
|
7th 5 |
3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Absent since two below-par runs in November but returned from a break to win five-runner contest at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) in September, and is now back on the same mark; seems best on good ground but once won a point on soft; can't be ruled out. |
11/1 |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Achieved more on RPRs for his Newton Abbot 3m2f class 5 win last time (good) than Arctic Angel did for hers, despite bleeding from the nose; up just 2lb and he's hugely unexposed as a handicap hurdler. |

19th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Sole career success came in this race 12 months ago and a recent close fourth here behind Edgewell should have teed him up for his defence; nothing wrong with his mark for all that he's 1lb wrong. |
4/1 |
|
4th 8 |
23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Has modest 1-29 strike-rate under rules but the win was gained over C&D (last summer) and last month's reappearance run was much more encouraging than his eventual 78l defeat suggests; each-way claims at least. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
20th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
1-28 under rules, his win coming over fences off this mark at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last July; has been off since October and needs to hit the ground running. |
8/1 |
