24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Went up 5lb for beating an exposed rival at Southwell (2m4f, soft; fine on good to soft) but he still ran well in a Class 3 at Newbury (2m6f) that didn't go entirely like clockwork; he could yet raise his bar higher; much respected. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 93y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
An improving chaser who did well to overcome a late mistake and get up at Southwell (2m4f, soft; fine on good to soft); he is 5lb higher for beating an exposed rival that day and this represents a harder assignment; still commands considerable respect. |

18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Fontwell maiden hurdle winner in May 2024 who's been competitive since handicapping over fences this term, bang there when coming down two out at Haydock (2m4f) in December before finishing runner-up in staying chases at Huntingdon and Warwick (all good to soft); drop back in trip probably no bother and he's a firm contender once more. |

7th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Gained three of four chase wins over C&D and returns here after going close on final two starts last season (2m4f/2m3f; wore cheekpieces last time); holds no secrets from the handicapper but will be fine on the forecast good ground and has obvious claims. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 4 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
He's run well to be second on two of his last three starts (2m3f/2m4f, good/soft), most recently at Southwell four weeks ago; he's 4lb higher than last time but was clear with a progressive winner; high on the list. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Third in this last year; four-time chase winner (all at about this trip) but hasn't scored since November 2024; close second at Catterick (2m3f, good) on penultimate start but lesser efforts either side of that; remains below his last winning mark and holds each-way claims again. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Latest race was voided just after halfway; still has low mileage and the time before he was third of eight in a 2m4f handicap at Uttoxeter, beaten 11l; now 0-6 over fences and he does look a tad high in the weights. |
9/1 |

24th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Low-mileage 6yo who comes here on the back of a good third of eight (Ice Jet runner-up) in 2m4f handicap chase here 17 days ago; not out of things in his bid for a maiden success. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
7th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Didn't hang about over hurdles; best chase efforts (0-5) have been over shorter but should stay this far and he's better than he showed last time at Ffos Las; can run well if back on song. |

11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Won over hurdles on rules debut in February 2025, but disappointing since switched to chasing in the autumn (six attempts); he was beaten 40l+ over about 2m4f on both outings in March. |

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 |

6th 6 |
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 |
|
5th 2 |
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. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
All four chase wins came around 2m when trained by Dan Skelton; ran well on yard debut in December but little to show for his eight subsequent runs; has dropped to a dangerous mark, however. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Three places and 59l ahead of Betty's Tiara over C&D last week (good), though still well held himself and simply isn't coming very close at present to recording a first win beyond 2m1f; 5lb badly in compared to future mark. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Made the frame in four of his six chases for the Greenall/Guerriero stable last season and reverts to hurdling for new yard on a workable mark but others appeal more all the same; tongue-tie/cheekpieces removed. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Two seconds and a third over fences for this yard, from 2m to 2m4f; had a couple of blips as well but he was too free last time at Southwell and now goes in cheekpieces (tongue tied last time); possibilities. |
3/1 |
|

18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Just one blip in four starts for this yard and it was a solid effort when third of 11 at Ayr (about 2m, soft) three weeks ago; previously twice a runner-up over this sort of trip and now the tongue-tie goes on; respected. |
