5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Five wins include two over fences; he'll need to run a lot better than he did in a handicap chase at Warwick a month ago (after 101 days away) and in any case he could be vulnerable to stronger stayers over this far. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Five wins include two over fences, the latest at Huntingdon in October (2m4f, good) when 2lb higher; not so good in his five subsequent defeats and record when fresh is modest. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 2f 208y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won this in 2025 (good to soft) and was also on target at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in October; back on a good mark now and should be fine on today's forecast soft ground but has become far too inconsistent to rely upon. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Bold-jumping front-runner with seven chase wins, four under Gavin Sheehan; didn't get to the front at Southwell (2m, good) last month and never threatened the winner but shaped as though still in form; remains 7lb higher than for his latest win but could prove hard to catch if allowed an easy lead. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Bold-jumping front-runner with seven wins from 18 starts over fences; ideally served by further than 2m but won over this trip at Chepstow (good to soft) in April; ran well again when runner-up at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) last month and will be the one to catch. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
7th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Took form to another new level when winning by 10l from the front at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) last month and is now 7-17 over fences (includes course win); today's trip-and-ground combination will also suit; respected. |

7th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
0-8 over fences for Ben Pauling and seemingly a tricky horse to win with but scores good marks for his consistency and 2m4f on good ground suits him well; sports first-time hood on stable debut (same owners); probably won't be far away. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 3 |
17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Winning hurdler who is 0-7 over fences but has been running well in defeat at up to 2m6f; must have every chance; cheekpieces tried last time are now dispensed with. |
5/2 |

17th Jun 2025 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
0-6 over fences but has twice run well in defeat over 2m4f at Warwick (good) this spring, latterly behind A Dublin Job; moves up in trip and sports first-time cheekpieces here; major player. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won a C&D handicap in April and was runner-up at Southwell last month but he's not easy to predict and was well below form at Stratford last time; that took his chase record to 1-15 and he needs to bounce back again. |
9/1 |

4th 1 |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Record of 1-14 over fences but that win came at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) in April and he was a front-running second behind a major improver at Southwell (2m, good) last time; this is a different test but his hurdles win was over 2m4f and he still looks feasibly treated; interesting contender. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 2 |
9th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Front-runner who was left clear just after final fence to score at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) in April, opening his chase account at the 12th attempt, but needs to bounce back quickly from a poor run there 12 days ago. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Made it 6-17 over fences with his brave win at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last month; flopped in his follow-up bid at Huntingdon (pulled up) but he's only 1lb higher than for that penultimate run and he won here in the summer; player if he can bounce back. |

7th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Dual chase winner this season, latterly when battling on well at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last month; nudged up only 1lb for that and has a course hurdle win on his CV; ought to be right in the thick of things. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won two chases and two hurdles on good/good to soft in 2025, including over this C&D last February; wasn't at his best in the autumn but wouldn't rule out completely. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |

Did very well for new stable in first half of this year, winning two hurdles and two chases; unseated rider in a chase this month, after a break, but could plausibly still have more improvement to come; respected. |
