25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 178y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Returned from a break with narrow win at Uttoxter (2m4f, good) in October but pulled up on both starts since, latterly at last month's Cheltenham Festival; younger rivals have much more persuasive profiles. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
A 9yo won it in 2019 but it's stretching the imagination to see this 11yo prevail, even though he did so at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in October and soft ground was a valid excuse at Newbury (2m4f) in November; off since. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Ran below his mark even when placing over the winter, and none the wiser as to his staying credentials after a subdued effort behind Tiger Orchid at Wetherby latest (3m); tongue-tie added on this stable debut. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Didn't threaten on his two runs last month (2m/2m3f, heavy/good to soft) but those weren't bad performances and it's possible this half-brother to a 3m-3m2f winner will be suited by the step up in trip; on a reduced mark and he's not discounted in first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces). |
8/1 |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
He hasn't kicked on since going close off 2lb higher on his reappearance at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in October; also effective on soft/good to soft; however, he didn't run badly at Taunton recently and is not ruled out. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Landed the bumper on this card in 2022; justified market support in major handicap at Kempton (good to soft; first attempt at 3m under rules) most recently, taking chase record to 3-5 and overall strike-rate to 9-20; remains particularly unexposed over this sort of distance and commands respect returned to Aintree, with further progress plausible. |

1st 6 |
21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
A front-runner and not the only one; however, he was a Grade 2-winning hurdler and very much heading the right way over fences, as his third at Newbury (2m, good to soft) has worked out well and he then won by 24l over 2m4f here last month (left clear two out) despite being taken on by Leader In The Park; looks well in off only 4lb higher and, although unraced over this far, he's always looked a strong stayer at 2m4f. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Heavy-ground 2m hurdle winner when with Dan Skelton; changed hands for 1,000gns since being beaten more than 16l in a Stratford seller in March; 2lb lower for chase debut but can only suggest a watching brief at present. |
20/1 |

4th 1 |
28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Started the season with a good 2m4f Uttoxeter fourth but he's been pulled up all three starts since in handicaps from 2m4f to 3m; in top hands but is hard to warm to despite the drop in grade. |

9th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Good fourth on seasonal debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) but ought to have been suited by the soft ground when pulled up on consecutive outings towards end of last year (2m4f/2m6f); tries a new trip here; needs three-month break to have done him good. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won this two years ago and was only a short-head away last year; higher in the weights now but had been in career best form until last run which was in a strong handicap; has to be feared. |
7/1 |

15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 50y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Better than ever in her last three starts over 2m5f and 3m; highly likely to run another solid race but this is stronger than she's accustomed to. |
12/1 |

2nd 1 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 174y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
In career-best form this season, winning from the front here (2m5f, good to soft) in December before clear second to Magical Maggie over that trip here (soft) three weeks ago; will be on the premises again if suited by today's extra distance. |

10st 12lb |
Four-time hurdle winner; returned from 688-day absence with low-key run on soft ground in April and absent for another six months since; ought to be better suited by the quicker conditions here but her current ability is hard to gauge. |

29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 146y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
5-10 over hurdles, including wins under Freddie Keighley at Fontwell (2m1f) and Taunton (2m3f, good) on two of his last three outings; respected even though he's never raced over this far (he worked his way to the front late on for that 2m3f win) and has been raised another 5lb. |
4/1 |

1st 2 |
26th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Useful Flat stayer who won his first three starts over hurdles (2m-2m1f) last summer but he's been held back in this sphere in last three runs; mark is falling and he is still unexposed over hurdles but needs to raise his game back in trip; all of his hurdle wins have been on good but he seems versatile ground-wise. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |

Won this race off this mark in 2025 (good; 2-1 favourite) having run poorly on his previous start; was rather disappointing later on last season and has a bit to prove at present. |

14th 7 |
11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Second in the C&D Grade 1 novice at this meeting last year; went on to finish first and second in handicaps over the extended 2m7f at Uttoxeter at the start of the summer but well below par both starts since a break, latterly at the Cheltenham Festival; combination of first-time cheekpieces and a return to this C&D needs to spark a revival. |
40/1 |

20th 22 |
11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
Ran well over about 3m on most starts last March-June, including 50-1 second in substandard Grade 1 novice at Aintree; took an age to warm up in that race, however, which makes this trip look against him, and no impact on last three outings; latest (11 days ago) was after four months off. |

11st 9lb |
Off a reduced mark he won over 2m4f on good ground at Sandown and some interference didn't help matters when well beaten off this 5lb higher mark in the Swinton; still well treated on old form. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
Finally took advantage of some leniency from the handicapper when winning at Sandown (2m4f, good) two weeks ago, always in the firing line; still well treated on old form but he's not sure to be so effective back over this shorter trip. |
18/1 |

1st 11 |
25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 178y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Kept on for sixth of 21 in first-time visor at Aintree (2m, good to soft) a fortnight ago and will be suited by this move back up in trip, but his last win came in 2022 and he's patently not the force of old. |

10st 11lb |
Made all in major handicap at Cheltenham (2m4f) in December but hasn't completed any of his four subsequent races, the latest after wind surgery (and in a new visor); cheekpieces return and an easy lead would help matters; tailed off in this last year. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
Has form at 3m1f; made all in major handicap at Cheltenham (2m4f) in December; unable to dominate in the same manner and eventually pulled up in all three outings since; had wind surgery (his second) since latest; wears new headgear; again far from certain to have his own way. |
40/1 |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Made all here (2m4f, good to soft) in December and remains well handicapped on his old form for Willie Mullins (at up to 3m1f); however, this 10yo has been pulled up on his last two starts, the latest only 12 days ago. |
