15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Won bumper and maiden hurdle when on good ground; scored at Ffos Las (3m1f, soft) in October and runner-up in four of his other six chases, including when mown down late on in a big field at Windsor (extended 3m4f, soft) in January; ran poorly over C&D next time and well beaten at Cheltenham Festival on latest but both those races were much warmer than this. |

Won at Ffos Las (3m1f, soft) in October and runner-up in four of his other five chases, including when mown down late on in a big field at Windsor (extended 3m4f, soft) in January; progressive to that point but then ran poorly behind Grand Geste at Haydock on latest outing. |

7yo who has improved for the switch to fences this season, winning at Ffos Las (3m1f, soft) in October and finishing second on his three starts since, most recently behind Neo King in a big field at Windsor (extended 3m4f, soft); progressive and he could be in the mix once more up 3lb for last time. |

11st 2lb |
Either or both the class 2 company and drop back to 3m compromised him in Uttoxeter's Summer Cup latest (blinkers debuted there retained); untried over today's even shorter trip since November 2023 and over hurdles for longer still, so hard to see how this assignment plays to many strengths. |
5/1 |

28th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Stays well, as his two performances over 3m4f at Haydock attest; finished well for second over 3m1f at Aintree (good) most recently; not crying out for this drop back to 3m but may be aided by new headgear; represents last year's winning yard. |

2nd 6 |
15th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 210y Class 3 |

Has had three wind operations and tends to go well when fresh, so might not improve markedly on his latest second at Haydock (3m4f, good) after 144 days away; still ran well though and assured stamina will come in handy. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 6f 121y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Had smart form when with Gordon Elliott before losing his way and selling for £3,000; fell midrace on stable debut but, with the cheekpieces back on, he outran odds of 100-1 to finish a fairly close third at Haydock (3m4f, good); if as good again here then he could have some say. |

3rd 2 |
15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |

Mostly campaigned in competitive staying chases when with Gordon Elliott and did not accomplish much this season; £3,000 buy in February but fell mid-race here 11 days ago on debut for new yard; cheekpieces (tried once) return; major questions to answer. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 157y |
11st 9lb |
Strong stayer but winless in over three years and 1-24 over fences; positive run when fourth at Haydock two starts ago but didn't show much over the banks lto; mark continues to slide and shouldn't be discounted. |
16/1 |

30th Apr 2026 Yielding 4m 1f 11y |

Third of five finishers in the 3m7f Edinburgh National at Musselburgh in February, not as good as his second in the same race in 2025; weak handicap form lately; well beaten in previous attempts at this course. |

10st 12lb |
Proving a strong stayer, with recent form featuring wins over 3m4f at Haydock (good to soft) and an extended 3m1f at Cartmel (good); doesn't seem a benefactor of the decision to reduce this race's distance to 3m; otherwise open to further progress over fences. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |

Gained a first win over fences at Haydock (3m4f, good to soft) in March and posted a solid fifth off a 6lb higher mark there (good) last month; possibilities. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Sent chasing this season and has been inconsistent (made a respiratory noise on penultimate start) but it looks as if he is best away from soft/heavy ground and won in clearcut fashion in a five-runner C&D race (good to soft) six weeks ago; 6lb higher today but 5lb claimer is recruited and he has more to offer as a stayer. |

11st 13lb |
Stays thoroughly, having won the Lincolnshire National at Market Rasen (3m4f) on Boxing Day and performed well in the Eider at Newcastle (4m1f) in February; perhaps his heavy defeat over 3m on latest start can therefore be forgiven, particularly as he was hampered early on; considered back at 3m4f. |

3rd 9 |
21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 4m 1f 56y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
3-10 in points; seven-race career under rules includes two handicap wins this season and there have been two notable performances over 3m3f/3m4f, including his win in the Lincolnshire National at Market Rasen (good to soft) on Boxing Day last time; 11lb higher this time (including 3lb out of the handicap) but he's a strong candidate for this trip. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
All starts on softer than good; no win from 16 attempts over fences but runner-up in seven, including off this mark when he tried an extended 3m6f in the North Wales National at Bangor on penultimate start; ran creditably over 3m7f at Chepstow latest, so has place claims again but he does not look the percentage call for win purposes. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 6f 136y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
All starts on softer than good; no win from 15 attempts over fences but runner-up in seven, including off this mark when he tried an extended 3m6f in the North Wales National at Bangor last time; probably the most likely to give his running and get seriously involved. |
9/2 |

2nd 9 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 5f 142y Class 4 |

A runner-up on six occasions over fences but 0-14 in this discipline and came up short in a veterans' chase a month ago (3m1f); looks vulnerable. |

11st 13lb |
The furthest he's been was 3m2f when he rallied to win from Red Delta in a small field at Doncaster (soft; made most) in November; something amiss next time but he was back on song for second at Carlisle (3m, good to soft; probably effective on good) on latest outing, making it good runs on both his starts in cheekpieces; up 2lb but needs a close look. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Won from the front in first-time visor (kept since) at Doncaster in December; back to form when second at Newbury on latest start, his second run after his second wind operation; has a competitive mark but his inconsistency and going beyond 3m2f both introduce doubts. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 7 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Not easy to predict but he's only 2lb higher than when making all at Doncaster (3m, good) just after Christmas, and he probably went off too fast when beaten 33l there (3m2f, soft) three weeks ago; not discounted. |
11/2 |

2nd 10 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 1y Class 2 |

Physical issues came to light after disappointing in a cross-country race last time; wore just a tongue-tie then but the visor that worked so well when a 3l winner here the time before now returns, as does Charlie Maggs with his claim; however, he has become hard to predict and underwent further wind surgery only recently. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Career has had its ups and downs but he won two chases (3m1f and 3m6f) in March 2025 and he's been placed at Stratford (second of five) and Worcester (third of 11) in his last two runs; remains well treated off 10lb lower than his last success and he's in the mix back up in trip. |
11/2 |

3rd 3 |
1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Career has had its ups and downs but he won two chases (3m1f and 3m6f) in March 2025 and ran one of his better races of the year when second of five at Stratford (3m4f, good to firm; blinkers replaced cheekpieces) in May; capable of going well over this lesser test if holding his form. |
7/2 |

2nd 3 |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Both wins over fences came in March 2025; his season never took off last term and he arrives here on a career-low mark (11lb below last win); first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces; needs to show more. |

None too consistent this season but he did win in small fields at Ffos Las (3m, heavy; made all) and Wetherby (3m, good to soft) last month; this field is much more demanding company on his first venture beyond 3m. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |

Inconsistent but easily got off the mark over fences at the third attempt in three-runner handicap at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) recently; this is a stronger race but he could have more to offer in this sphere; not ruled out. |
