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. |

1st 1 |
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 |

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. |

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. |
5/1 |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Ex-French and was placed on his chasing debut there last summer; 1-4 as a juvenile hurdler last term but was set some stiff tasks and he made an immediate impact back over fences when readily beating four others at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last month, despite jumping a little to his right; up 5lb but likely has a good bit more to offer. |

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 |
