1st 4 |
15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Ran quite well in the Pertemps Final and then runner-up in a big field handicap here in April (2m4f, good to soft; in this new headgear combination), improving on his fifth place the previous season; also ran second to Fingal's Hill in this 12 months ago; has nothing in hand off his mark but every chance of being involved. |

2nd 21 |
10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Ran respectably in this race 12 months ago (fifth off 3lb higher) and Cheltenham Festival handicap (3m) latest start; otherwise an exposed 8yo who is on a two-year losing spell; unlikely to come out on top. |
14/1 |

9th 24 |
12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
10st 3lb |
Last won in April 2024; well beaten in the 2m5f handicap here last March; second to Absolutely Doyen at Wincanton (3m, good to soft) at Christmas was best effort this term; ran creditably in the Lanzarote at Kempton (2m5f) next time, before a modest show at Plumpton latest; others look more solid. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Veteran who finds winning hard these days but on last two starts he held his own in Grade 2s at Fontwell and Fairyhouse, races he had won previously; retains plenty of enthusiasm and can go well back in a handicap. |
11/2 |
|
4th 6 |
6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 3f 180y |
11st 3lb |
Won this race two years ago and returns on the back of finishing second in the Grade 2 National Spirit at Fontwell, a race he'd won twice before; however, he's well into the veteran stage and looks vulnerable. |
25/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
13yo who has a fine record in this race, his three appearances yielding two wins (2021 and 2023) and a head second to Botox Has in 2022; also bagged a Fairyhouse Grade 2 (2m4f, soft to heavy) in the spring of 2024; not so good these days, however, and he was beaten 13l in a Taunton handicap (2m3f, good to soft) last month. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Won at Exeter and then a close fourth at Sandown (2m4f, good); could put a line through his subsequent races on account of heavy ground and a trip too far; respected. |
14/1 |
|
4th 7 |
20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Won at Exeter (2m2f) in November and creditable fourth at Sandown (2m4f) next time, before heavy ground might excuse his latest start; this, however, is his first foray beyond 2m6f, after 37 races and at the age of ten. |
16/1 |
|
4th 4 |
7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 5y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
November's Exeter win looked unlikely but he stayed on much the best over 2m2f on good to soft; not beaten far off this 6lb higher mark at Sandown (2m4f, good) when close up behind Henri The Second who won easily back there last weekend; thoroughly exposed but enters the equation for sure; has won on heavy. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Lightly raced and improving; beat Fingal's Hill by 2l at Newcastle (2m4f) before finding only one too good upped to Class 2 level at Haydock (3m, good); didn't fail for stamina that day but he'll be fine back in trip; player. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 9 |
15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Maiden winner who opened his account in handicaps with a comfortable win at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) two weeks ago; a 3lb rise seems fair for all that it wasn't a strong race, and his yard can do little wrong right now. |
3/1 |

1st 5 |
31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Only win was in a four-runner Musselburgh maiden hurdle in December 2024 (2m4f, good to soft); best run this season when second over same C&D in January (good to soft); chance on that form. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Won at about 2m3f at Haydock (good to soft) and Bangor (good) and the combination of a deep race and the drop back to 2m found him out at Aintree; better expected here off what should still be a realistic mark. |
10/1 |
|
11th 9 |
10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 103y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
On a hat-trick after 2m3f wins at Haydock (good to soft) and Bangor (good) under Charlie Maggs last month but the fact he failed to win at around 2m on his first ten starts in Britain hardly boosts confidence in him for this drop back in trip. |
18/1 |
|
1st 5 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
It was a Class 4 he won at Haydock (good to soft; raced prominently) but that was his first time over this far since arriving from France and he's a willing partner; Charlie Maggs rides again off a 5lb higher mark. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
It's been a struggle in some competitive handicaps but he ran well enough here at the National meeting (behind Ike Sport) to merit some attention; others still preferred. |
16/1 |
|
11th 2 |
10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 12lb |
Landed a notable handicap at Chepstow (2m3f, good; off just 1lb lower) in the autumn; not in anything like the same form since, always behind at the Cheltenham Festival (2m5f) most recently; other preferred. |
66/1 |
|
19th 17 |
11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
Landed a notable prize at Chepstow (near 2m4f, good; 3lb higher today) in October but failed to show his form in his three starts since; Sean Bowen rides him for the first time since Chepstow; he'd still be a surprise winner. |

2nd 1 |
31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
This race was one of the three he won last season, all of them on good or good to soft at this trip; on his last winning mark and, after his running-on second over 2m1f here last time, should go well again. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 3 |

Won back to back at Aintree & Hexham (both 2m4f) last summer, rising to a career-high mark of 134; kicked off 2026 with a solid effort at Doncaster (2m4f, soft; runner-up) and he's capable of bouncing back from a lesser effort at Kelso since. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |

Won two four-runner novice hurdles on good ground last year, the first over just short of 3m; fair fifth on 2m5f Ascot handicap debut in November but weakened quickly when pulled up over 3m at Doncaster back from a break 19 days ago; first-time cheekpieces are reached for on the back of that. |

Lightly raced 7yo whose form has substance and it was a good handicap at Hereford in which he was third in December; went off favourite in a big field at Ascot in February but never gave his running; could be interesting back from a break. |
