18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Dual Fontwell winner and his other victories have come on left-handed tracks; hung in that direction on last month's visits to Kempton and he duly underperformed; should run better around here and this mark isn't beyond him. |
7/1 |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Perhaps needed the run in C&D event nine days ago on return from break; largely productive over hurdles/fences otherwise this term, winning five times; good chance if tapping back into that progress. |

14th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Has enjoyed an excellent campaign, winning three times over hurdles in the autumn and also successful in handicaps at Lingfield (2m, good) and Plumpton (2m1f, soft) on his first two starts over fences; freshened up since a lesser run at Newbury over Christmas. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Seemingly aided by new tongue-tie when winning twice at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft/soft) during the winter, and was not discredited when second to revitalised subsequent winner at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) last month; sometimes races a bit too freely but should be fine on this left-handed track; respected. |
5/2 |

2nd 1 |
5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Always the risk his reluctance to settle will temper his late effort, as it did when over 1l behind A Great Excuse at Lingfield in December; 2-2 at Huntingdon since, however, deriving the benefit of the tongue tie once again when making most there latest (soft); 5lb rise appears pretty fair. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Last year wasn't all plain sailing but he delivered on previous chasing promise when scoring over C&D (good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) just before Christmas and should be fine on the slower ground today; respected. |

18th Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Has a solid record over fences, with plenty of places alongside three wins in 15 attempts; might strip fitter for his Bangor run which followed wind surgery. |

27th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 5 |

Three chase wins, the latest in this race 12 months ago off the very same mark; could be interesting after wind surgery and recent rain welcomed. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
3-5 over fences; eased late on when beating Politacus here and comfortably defied a 6lb rise at Newton Abbot (2m, good), albeit at the expense of just one other finisher; up another 5lb but sure to go well. |
7/4 |
|
1st 3 |
14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
2-4 since switched to fences, most recently against her own sex at Warwick (2m, good to soft) where the form has worked out well; steps back into open company off 6lb higher but she remains open to progress in this sphere. |
11/10 |

1st 4 |
8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Won three-runner chase at Leicester in December, her second start over fences, and her subsequent second at Taunton (also 2m, good) was perfectly respectable; may not be ideally suited by the forecast slower ground here but still features prominently in calculations. |

Not far away in a 2m4f handicap chase at Uttoxeter after a long absence but has gone backwards since then; blinkers go on for cheekpieces. |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Returned from a very long absence with creditable fourth in stronger race than this at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in July and has good claims if judged on that performance but two disappointing runs have followed; needs to rebound. |

Poor Flat performer; beat only three rivals when making a successful debut over fences at Fontwell (2m2f, good to soft) and hasn't threatened since then; others preferred. |

7th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Struggled to get competitive off basement Flat mark last month, after a layoff, but made winning chase debut in small-field contest here (2m2f, good) nine days ago; did that a shade cosily and is only 3lb higher now; must be considered. |
15/8 |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 4 |

Not seen under jumps rules since pulled up in soft-ground handicap hurdle in April 2023 and has been in poor form on the Flat since last summer; has too much to prove on chasing debut; refitted cheekpieces replace visor. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
All three defeats over hurdles have been in maidens; has since gone 5-9 over fences, last time making all at Stratford (2m1f, good to firm) after wind surgery; off the same mark for his handicap debut as a hurdler. |
9/4 |
|
1st 5 |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won four times over fences last spring/summer but was beaten 25l at Lingfield (2m, good) when last seen in November; has had wind surgery since and is only 1lb higher than for his last success; must hold claims from good yard if ready to roll. |
3/1 |

18th Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Mark took a hit for winning four of his first five races over fences (all handicaps) and was beaten 13l and 21l in his last two with cheekpieces fitted; those aids are now removed and he's only 2lb higher than for his last win, so hard to dismiss. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Modest Flat maiden; has shown some aptitude for hurdling this year but last month's fourth of five at Plumpton (2m4f, good) came in a very thin maiden; now bids to exploit 9lb weight-for-age allowance on chasing debut. |
14/1 |

4th 4 |
21st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |

Modest form in his previous two maiden hurdles and made it 0-12 on the Flat when tailed off in a 1m3f seller at Goodwood four weeks ago (good to firm; 100-1); readily opposed. |

Looked back in good nick when scoring over C&D (good) in March but ran poorly and was pulled up at Uttoxeter last month (trainer blamed the good to soft ground); has become hard to predict. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Got back in the groove after three months off when landing a gamble at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) 17 days ago; back up 4lb in the weights but she still looks feasibly treated and has form figures of 12431 under Tom Broughton; key player. |
100/30 |
|
1st 1 |
11th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
A dual 2m hurdles winner last season but she failed to take to chasing early this term before beating only one back in this sphere in 2m4f Wincanton handicap in December; she has plenty to prove after a break. |
