5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Fair hurdler who made a satisfactory chasing debut here (2m, good to soft) in December and created good impression when readily winning a competitive Windsor handicap (2m6f, soft) three weeks ago; does not look harshly treated by a 6lb rise and commands respect. |

1st 12 |
16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 6f 50y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Two-time hurdle winner, the latest at Fontwell (2m1f, good to soft) in November, and ran respectably in the face of a very tough task on last month's chase debut at Lingfield (2m, good to soft); has hinted he could be suited by this sort of trip and he's not ruled out now back in a handicap. |

19th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 2y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Veteran who is a multiple winner over jumps; absent since falling in this year's Grand National; 0-5 on Flat but has finished an encouraging second in his two handicap attempts under this code, latest at Goodwood (2m) last October; could go well. |
7/1 |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 5lb |
Negotiated these fences safely in the 2m5f Topham one year ago, albeit fading into 12th; a strong-staying display to win at Cheltenham (near 3m4f, soft; 5lb higher today) in November hints at untapped potential over long distances. |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
2m1f Flat winner in 2023 (on heavy) and she also won for Stuart Kittow twice over hurdles early in 2024; runner-up twice from her three races for Kevin Philippart de Foy this May-July, all on AW, and is now back with her former trainer; one to consider seriously. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 2 (8) |
13th Jul 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
2m Flat winner in 2023 (on heavy) and she also won twice over hurdles in spring 2024 for Stuart Kittow; both runs for new yard were over 1m4f on Tapeta recently, with a lesser effort last time (despite starting favourite) but she could prove more potent with today's step back up in trip. |
9/1 |
|
5th 2 (6) |
28th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won twice over hurdles in spring 2024 for Stuart Kittow; pleasing start for new stable when 4l second of eight at Wolverhampton (1m4f; 15-2) last month, rallying; can build on that run and may go one better. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Bounced back with a win at Warwick (2m5f, good to soft) in December but he was tailed off in next two starts and he didn't get very far at Newbury (fell at third) last time; has plenty to prove again and he's still 3lb higher than for his last win. |
16/1 |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Has gained both wins in Class 4, including for his standout performance this term; pair of duck eggs since, albeit the 2m7f trip perhaps contributed to latest defeat; others have stronger claims. |
20/1 |

13th 5 |
14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 123y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Showed career-best form when winning readily by 4l at Warwick (2m5f, good to soft; refitted cheekpieces) in December; subsequent lesser effort in major Kempton handicap is not viewed harshly but 2m7f on soft ground will take his stamina into unknown territory. |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Minor honours in his last four AW races (1m5f/2m) but well beaten in his only two turf starts this term and absent since June; he has won twice but is not straightforward and does not look the percentage call; yard runs four. |
12/1 |
|
10 (7) |
13th Jun 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Strong traveller who's far from easy and has hung both ways (normally to the left); arrives in good form for a yard among the winners, though, and is on a mark off which he can win when things fall right. |
7/1 |
|
2 (2) |
5th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Hurdle winner who got off the mark on the Flat over C&D in December; couple of creditable thirds here since then but he flopped at Ascot (last of eight) last month and needs to bounce back after that 13l defeat; stablemate of Donald Llewellyn. |

27th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won two in a row in June (1m4f, good) and, bar one blip, he's continued in good form, finishing fourth of 12 at Bath (1m6f, good to soft) a fortnight ago; each-way shout under regular rider Taylor Fisher. |
10/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Dual hurdle and dual Flat winner this year; probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark but his recent defeat on soft ground is excusable; enters each-way calculations. |
16/1 |
|
6th 10 (11) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
More wins this year, two over hurdles and two on the Flat (about 1m4f, good), but perhaps found out by a career-high mark at Ascot and Lingfield (back at 1m6f, good to firm) since; probably has work to do again. |

17th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 5 |

A five-time winner who was placed over C&D in June but he was beaten 7l that day and hasn't been overly threatening in the meantime. |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 (8) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Second to Golden Flame over C&D (good) before doing some hanging on fast ground at Nottingham; any rain would aid his chance. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 208y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Adaptable regarding ground and tactics; this looks less competitive than the Ffos Las 0-65 in which he finished second last time (hampered; two of these behind) and his claims are obvious. |

18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Veteran who's been sharply on the downgrade in recent times, coming 22lb down the weights in the past year; a long time since he wore headgear, which is likely fitted more in hope than expectation. |
20/1 |

6th 8 (4) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |

Veteran who is 1-29 on the Flat and has completely lost his way, including when last of nine (behind two of these) over C&D four weeks ago; opposable from 1lb wrong. |

29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 11y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
A dual scorer (at up to 2m) at Ffos Las in 2025; back in good form this summer, fourth of nine in 1m5f AW handicap at Lingfield last month; possibilities. |
14/1 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Four-time Polytrack winner who came back to form last time and is 2lb lower than when last successful (turf) last summer; often fluffs the start and is usually held up, so the bigger field won't hurt; one to consider. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 4 (4) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Turf wins at 1m6f (good to soft) and 2m (good); quite well treated now and his AW reappearance was encouraging but he didn't fare so well back on turf in June and it's two years since he was risked on good to firm ground. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Hasn't won on the Flat since 2022 but has been successful over hurdles and chases since; this looks likely to be a pipe-opener before reverting to fences; jockey's third ride under rules. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Doing surprisingly well over fences as he's not bred for them; he might just be a shade high in the weights now after his hat-trick bid came up shy in a three-runner race but he must still have some sort of chance on ground he handles. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Not bred for fences but has collected small-field chase wins on soft ground at Plumpton (2m1f) and Fontwell (2m2f) in recent weeks, and may be even better suited by the forecast good ground on this hat-trick attempt. |

Has won on turf but boasts a far superior strike-rate on the AW and hasn't been that threatening on good to firm in his last two races. |
9/1 |
|
8th 3 (11) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
A winner on turf but has a superior strike-rate on the AW including a hat-trick earlier this year; only four ran when third at Yarmouth last time and that was under a 5lb claimer; could be vulnerable. |
