26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Seemingly boosted by change of headgear when winning by 6l over C&D (good) in first-time blinkers in April; obvious contender if judged on that evidence but ran a lacklustre race at Aintree last month and it's hard to tell whether he'll be in the right mood in first-time visor today. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Back down in grade with blinkers tried he registered a second chase win when 6l to the good at Bangor (2m4f, good); 6lb rise has elevated him to a career-high mark but it was comfortable last time. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) in January when wearing first-time cheekpieces (retained) and subsequent defeats have come in better races than this; didn't run at all badly in the latest at Kelso (2m5f); back down in grade and with blinkers given a go, he's feared. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Some lengthy breaks in his lightly raced profile but it was a positive first run back from wind surgery when beaten 3.5l at Uttoxter three weeks ago (2m4f, good to soft); the burning question is whether he'll be as good again. |
100/30 |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Promising as a novice hurdler last season but, following a walkover in November, he's been disappointing in last three runs over fences; had wind surgery last month but this is highly competitive and he needs a transformation after a short break; cheekpieces added. |
10/1 |

3rd 4 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 214y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Promising as a novice hurdler last season but, following a walkover in November, his last two chase runs were very disappointing; still has plenty of time to get career back on track but arrives with a point to prove. |

8th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Encouraging start over fences in 2026 when in the frame over C&D and at Worcester (2m7f) but not so good under more patient tactics when a well-held second of five at Stratford (2m3f) in July; freshened up since though and no surprise to see him bounce back in a change of headgear. |

2nd 1 |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Won over hurdles last season and made pretty good start to chasing career when third of seven at Bangor (2m4f, good; wore cheekpieces) in April; weakened out of contention on run-in at Worcester (2m7f, good; first-time visor) this month but drops back in trip here and remains of interest. |
11/4 |

4th 1 |
1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Successful handicap hurdle debut at Wetherby (about 2m5f, good) last October; no match at all for the winner on chase debut at Bangor (about 2m4f, good) in April but the return to this longer trip can help; first-time visor replaces cheekpieces; yard runs two. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Good-ground specialist with four hurdle and nine chase wins on his CV, many of them gained from the front; no longer the force of old, though, and was well held when third of five at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good to firm) on latest outing in July. |

3rd 1 |
13th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Good-ground specialist with nine chase wins to his name, latest off 2lb higher in July last year; solid front-running third at Bangor (2m4f, good) 17 days ago after a break and he holds leading claims. |
4/1 |

3rd 2 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Good-ground specialist with nine chase wins on his CV; long in the tooth now but returned from break with two respectable runs this spring and has edged his way back down to a good mark; no surprise if he makes a bold bid from the front. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Three-time chase winner (2m4f-3m1f) on good ground for Dan Skelton in spring 2025; has since lost her way but the signs were more encouraging here last time (2m7f), for all that she was no match for the winner; might be the answer. |
6/4 |

2nd 3 |
7th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Three-time chase winner (2m4f-3m1f) on good ground for Dan Skelton in spring 2025; generally very disappointing for current stable since the autumn, including when back on a sound surface for last two starts, but has become too well handicapped to rule out. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Won five times (three hurdles, two chases) in second half of last year but was out of form when last seen in the spring; back on a good mark now and might have been refreshed by six-month break but others in this line-up have much less to prove. |
7/1 |

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. |

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. |
20/1 |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

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. |
