12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Not particularly consistent but won at Huntingdon early last month (2m4f, good) and would have a chance on that form; however, pulled up when favourite at Fakenham last time having reportedly made a respiratory noise. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Well below best last season but exploited some help from the handicapper when winning in pretty good style at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) this month; even after a 5lb rise, he's still 5lb lower than when winning this race in 2025; good chance. |

7th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Well handicapped if judged on his two good-ground wins in cheekpieces last spring (2m7f/2m5f) but has been well below best (in various headgear) in recent months; ran well for a long way before weakening quickly at Market Rasen (3m, good) last time and might benefit from this drop back in trip but others have much less to prove. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Bold-jumping front-runner with seven chase wins, four under Gavin Sheehan; didn't get to the front at Southwell (2m, good) last month and never threatened the winner but shaped as though still in form; remains 7lb higher than for his latest win but could prove hard to catch if allowed an easy lead. |
4/1 |

2nd 4 |
2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Bold-jumping front-runner with seven wins from 18 starts over fences; ideally served by further than 2m but won over this trip at Chepstow (good to soft) in April; ran well again when runner-up at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) last month and will be the one to catch. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
7th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Took form to another new level when winning by 10l from the front at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) last month and is now 7-17 over fences (includes course win); today's trip-and-ground combination will also suit; respected. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Point winner who got off the mark over fences on his second attempt, at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in March; third on both starts since and first-time cheekpieces are now employed along with regular tongue-tie; should be thereabouts. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
7th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Off the mark over fences at second attempt, with very comfortable win in four-runner C&D (good) contest in March; again ran well when third at Southwell (2m4f, good; albeit finished tired) last month and is sure to be suited by the return to this track. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
This Irish point winner was having only his second chase start when landing a cosy success in a small-field Huntingdon handicap (2m4f, good) three weeks ago; seems to have odd quirk (hung left on the run-in at Huntingdon) but has the potential for better again over fences. |

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. |

7th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Low-mileage 6yo; three non-completions have followed last October's promising chase/handicap debut but he was running fairly well before penultimate-fence fall in 2m Chepstow race won by Pep Talking last month; moves up in trip with Sean Bowen enlisted here; still has plenty of time to get career back on track. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Low-mileage 6yo who had a solid record until pulled up in last two starts, effectively failing to back up the sound effort he posted at Uttoxeter (2m, good) on chase/seasonal debut; turnaround is required. |
11/2 |

27th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 36y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Lightly raced 6yo; solid record until let down by his jumping on last appearance (second chase attempt); had wind surgery (his third) since and now goes in tongue-tie; still open to further progress, provided he avoids errors. |
