14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Got off the mark over fences at the ninth attempt at Kempton (2m2f) in March and doubled his tally in 2m4f handicap at Aintree in May; faces no easy task off a 9lb higher mark here (including 5lb out of the handicap), however. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Finally came good over fences at Kempton (2m2f, good) and nearly followed up at Market Rasen, albeit when odds-on for a four-runner race; nudged up another 3lb for that defeat but still one to consider. |
7/2 |

2nd 2 |
14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Took nine attempts to open chasing account but the form of his win at Kempton (2m2f, good) three weeks ago was nicely boosted by the runner-up on Saturday, and this fellow is still on a good mark after a 3lb rise. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Winless below an extended 2m3f, but 18l second to a thriving 4yo over C&D latest (good) under Harry Brown; enjoys a significant race-fitness edge over all of his rivals in what looks a marginally weaker 0-120. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Has a modest strike-rate of 1-22 over fences, the win coming at Carlisle over 2m4f in April 2025 in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) when trained in Ireland; has been below his best on last two runs and drops back in trip; others hold stronger claims. |
8/1 |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |

Has modest 2-31 strike-rate under rules but came second over 2m4f on two of his first three starts after a wind op in March, and looked stretched by 3m when below that form last month; versatile regarding ground and enters calculations. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 85y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Won at Kelso (2m5f, good) in April and Cartmel (2m5f, good) in June and he's been a good third on his last two starts (2m5f/3m, good); he should be fine at today's shorter distance and holds solid claims. |

3rd 7 |
23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Generally in good form this summer, winning at Cartmel in June (2m5f, good) when wearing cheekpieces for the first time and last time coming home third in the Summer Plate at Market Rasen (2m6f, good to soft); has also finished second over C&D; should go well again. |
11/2 |

31st Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Back in prime form since swapping cheekpieces for a visor in June, winning here (2m5f, good) before commendable third in Summer Plate at Market Rasen (nearly 2m7f, good); unraced beyond 3m but soft ground won't faze him and he can make a bold bid from the front. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |

Fairly treated on some of his form but was very disappointing when dropped into a Class 4 here last time and his previous run was no better. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Fairly treated and some fair efforts at 2m4f/2m5f before struggling back over 2m in a Class 2; that's readily forgiven and he'll probably run well. |
10/1 |

6th 4 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Campaigned over longer trips since September but effective at 2m previously; currently in a consistent vein of form and looks attractively treated, having scored twice off current mark last year; landed this contest in 2024 to boot and holds a fighting chance. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 85y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
His strike-rate over fences could be better but he's pretty consistent and was running well in second when making a bad blunder at the final fence at Stratford (2m3f, good to firm) in August last time; might not be far away in first-time cheekpieces. |
11/2 |

3rd 5 |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Gained both chase wins over 2m4f; bumped into progressive rival when second at Hexham (1m7f, good) two starts ago and travelled well until stamina ebbed away over 3m at Perth last month; remains on a workable mark; can make his presence felt. |
6/1 |

5th 2 |
12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Gained both chase wins over 2m4f (one here); no match for progressive rival when second at Hexham (1m7f, good; first run after wind surgery) last month but that was still a good effort; a possible if suited by this new trip. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |
12st 1lb |
Has done most of his winning at about 2m but second over C&D in his last two races, running his usual honest race; thereabouts off an untouched mark. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Multiple jumps wins, mostly at about 2m, but he ended a losing run over this C&D (good; made all) in June and ran to a similar level here in July, off this 7lb higher mark; likely to need a bit more today. |
5/2 |

2nd 1 |
5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |

Multiple winner but his first success beyond about 2m when making all for a 9l victory over C&D 23 days ago; back up 7lb but had dropped to a good mark. |

Well beaten at Haydock last time (behind Genois) in a race he won the previous season; now below par in his last three chases and belatedly tries cheekpieces at the age of 11. |
10/1 |

8th 8 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Won this last year (good) and followed up at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) in June off a mark 1lb higher than today's; pulled up/tailed off over fences on next two starts but his recent outing over hurdles was fairly encouraging and he could build on that now back chasing. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |

Six-time chase winner who won last summer but twice disappointed since; he's 0-8 as a hurdler but ability needs respecting when there's no depth to this race. |

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 |

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 |

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. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 85y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Two-time C&D winner (good/soft) who was a good second off this mark in a big-field veterans' final at Haydock (2m4f, good) in April; well below his best on his last two starts in May/June but he won here last December following some time off and he's not ruled out following a break. |
6/1 |
|
4th 3 |
19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Came from well off the pace to land his third win over fences in a veterans' handicap at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft) in March off 5lb lower; runner-up in a similar contest at Haydock (2m4f, good) the following month but was pulled up after making several jumping errors at Aintree last time; may be a shade high in the weights at present. |
5/1 |

2 |
15th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Had lost his way but very much rejuvenated in his last four races and was closing on the winner, whom he beat the time before, over 2m4f at Haydock last time (good); edging up the weights but firmly in the reckoning. |
