15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Better hurdler than chaser, with him 5-14 in the one discipline and yet 0-7 over fences; his turn should come as it was a fair run last time at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good; beaten 3l off this mark); all his winning form is about this trip. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Five-time hurdle winner but 0-6 over fences and has been out of form on his last two starts, most recently when a 31l last of five at Southwell (2m, good) in June on his return from a break; that run may have been needed but other candidates appeal more. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Three chase wins last season, the first two over C&D (good/good to soft); not beaten far when last of six at Cheltenham in April but remains on career-high mark for this reappearance run and takes on some unexposed rivals. |

17th Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 62y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Outclassed in a Listed race two runs back but admirably consistent otherwise and a 4lb rise for beating Ostrava Du Berlais at Warwick the last time (2m, good) is more than fair; strong claims. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Has three wins over fences but after finishing last of four at Hereford last month, he exploited a lower hurdles mark when successful at Wincanton (1m7f, good) 12 days ago; needs to use that momentum back over the larger obstacles. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Better known as a chaser now but was third in a better race than this when reverting to hurdles at Warwick (2m, heavy; also suited by good) last month, and subsequent 32l defeat over fences came in a good-quality contest; must be considered. |
3/1 |

4th 4 |
7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Seven wins in all, most recently at Market Rasen and Ludlow this time last year; didn't shape too badly over hurdles at Warwick (jumped right) last time, and this return to fences on a right-handed track should suit him; not ruled out. |

7th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Low-mileage 6yo; three non-completions have followed last October's promising chase/handicap debut but he was running fairly well before penultimate-fence fall in 2m Chepstow race won by Pep Talking last month; moves up in trip with Sean Bowen enlisted here; still has plenty of time to get career back on track. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Low-mileage 6yo who had a solid record until pulled up in last two starts, effectively failing to back up the sound effort he posted at Uttoxeter (2m, good) on chase/seasonal debut; turnaround is required. |

27th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 36y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Lightly raced 6yo; solid record until let down by his jumping on last appearance (second chase attempt); had wind surgery (his third) since and now goes in tongue-tie; still open to further progress, provided he avoids errors. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
4lb lower than when taking another five-runner renewal of this contest last year (good); didn't kick on as he might have after that win but hopefully he's sweetened up following a five-month break. |
9/2 |

7th 2 |
13th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Off the mark at Uttoxeter on chase debut in October (2m, good); decent second next time but last two runs have been a bit disappointing (26l last of four at Stratford last month); may well have the race run to suit him and he's a possible. |
10/1 |
|
4th 2 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won readily by 5l on British chasing debut at Uttoxeter in October (2m, good); absent since disappointing run over 2m4f on New Year's Day but could still have potential and will be dangerous if back on song after 108-day break. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Just one completion in three runs over fences and beaten 9l on that occasion; fairly well held in his last two races over hurdles as well; he's on a fair mark if everything did come together. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Making a promising start in this sphere (close up) when he unseated rider two out in 2m1f Kelso handicap last September; failed to build on it twice subsequently but back in good form over hurdles of late, so not ruled out. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won twice on the Flat and over hurdles; had been chasing before beaten 9l in a Bangor handicap hurdle (2m, good) and that was after 173 days away; on last winning mark if he can find something on that form. |
9/2 |
