24th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Both wins over fences have been at Market Rasen (2m5f/3m); struggles with his consistency but if on a going day in first-time blinkers then he's not handicapped out of it. |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Four-time chase winner for Greenall-Guerriero stable; has a patchy record but he's run well in two of his three starts for current yard, including a clear second at Market Rasen (3m, soft) last month; has claims if he can back that up and his last win was off 1lb higher. |

16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Four-time chase winner (once over C&D) for Greenall-Guerriero stable; made quite pleasing seasonal/stable debut when second of four at Ludlow (3m1f, good) in November but ran very poorly at Hereford last month and needs to bounce back from that. |

11st 12lb |
Three-time chase winner (at up to 3m) who was runner-up over hurdles at Southwell (2m4f, good) in March but he's inconsistent and made it 0-10 over hurdles when tailed off at Perth (2m4f, good) last month; needs to bounce back; non-runner when due to wear these blinkers for the first time 5:47 Southwell Monday. |

Won off 7lb higher over fences here (3m, good to soft) last April; 0-9 over hurdles but runner-up in this discipline at Southwell (2m4f, good) last month; one of two for trainer with a good record in the race; chance. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Has to bounce back from a couple of modest runs (latest second was a remote one) but she has since undergone a wind operation; closely matched with Party Vibes and Theonewedreamof on their Cheltenham clash in December; possible. |

9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Made a winning start over fences at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) in November and ran well when third of 13 finishers at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) the following month; had an off day at Market Rasen last time but worth another chance. |

16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |

0-5 over hurdles but made winning seasonal/chase debut at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) in November and bettered that performance when close third of 15 in Cheltenham mares' race (2m4f, good to soft) last month; moves back up up in trip here and probably still has more to offer over fences. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
He's returned from an absence this season and, after three defeats on soft ground, better could have been expected on good to soft at Wincanton recently; however, he's in top hands and well handicapped on his three 2024 wins on good/good to soft (including here), and may bounce back at some stage. |
4/1 |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Nearly a stone worse on genuinely soft ground judged on peak RPRs, so there's a case to say this is his first realistic opportunity since returning from a 15-month absence over Christmas; last success came over this trip off 3lb higher, and it will be harder to excuse another sub-par effort today. |
8/1 |

18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Switch to fences and handicaps did the trick when he won three of his five starts in 2024; he hasn't got back to that level in two outings this term and has a question to answer at present; of interest only with market support. |

10st 13lb |
Ended last season in good form, winning at Hereford (3m1f, soft) before good second at Haydock (3m1f, good); ran well (over hurdles) on only previous visit to Cartmel and has possibilities if this new trip suits; refused to line up and withdrawn at Aintree recently (8-1 at the time). |

15th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 210y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Went up 5lb for winning a Class 4 at Hereford (3m1f, soft) and raised another 1lb for his second in a better race at Haydock (3m1f, good), finishing just ahead of Jacks Parrot; this 11yo is thriving and entitled to play a part in the finish. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 125y Class 3 |

Put everything together when winning at Hereford (3m1f, soft) six weeks ago under a positive ride from Toby McCain-Mitchell; not discounted but he's up 5lb and this is a stronger race. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Six-time course winner; not the force of old and has become inconsistent but looked in good nick when scoring at Wetherby (3m, good) in March, and last month's C&D third was perfectly respectable. |

3rd 6 |
14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |

Inconsistent in recent years and no longer the force of old but kept on well to score at Wetherby (3m, good) last month, and this six-time course winner is sure to be suited by the return to this track. |

12st 0lb |
Commenced chase career with two wins; 0-7 since and has failed to back up reappearance effort in a light current campaign; however, this combination of a drop back in class and return to forecast faster ground may prompt a resurgence. |

16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |

Won two chases last season and gave good account when third on reappearance outing at Ascot (3m, good) in November; subsequent defeat on heavy ground can probably be overlooked and he'll be dangerous here if the first-time blinkers have any positive effect. |
