10st 12lb |
Has enhanced her good strike-rate over fences with back-to-back wins at Newton Abbot (2m5f) and Bangor (3m; again on good); it was harder work last time after a 6lb rise and she now has another 5lb to contend with, though last time was her first go over this far. |

23rd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
8yo who made it 5-16 over fences when bouncing back with a clearcut win at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) two weeks ago; up 6lb but she hit a personal best last time and is a big player again if her stamina holds out on this step up 3m. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Successful five times at up to 2m4f, including twice last autumn; clear second upped to 3m at Bangor (good) most recently, running at least as well as he's ever done; may remain competitive despite his new mark being a career-high one. |
9/1 |

2nd 5 |
23rd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Ran respectably when third of five over hurdles at regular haunt Plumpton (2m4f, good) last month; better known as a chaser these days but he looks weighted near best off this mark and is untried beyond 2m5f; has some work to do back in this sphere. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Gamely landed the Becher Chase in December to cement a cracking start to last season; not in quite the same form since but his Uttoxeter record bodes well; record of 2-3 here features a win (albeit off 9lb lower as an 8yo) in this race in 2023. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
23rd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Second at the 2024 Cheltenham Festival and he started last season with two wins, including a gritty success in the Becher at Aintree (3m2f); struggled in the Grand National last month but he's now only 2lb higher than for his last win and looks interesting on this drop back in trip and class; last success was on soft but most of his wins have been on good ground. |
5/2 |
|
15th 34 |
11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 4lb |
Second at the 2024 Cheltenham Festival and started this season with two wins, notably by a short head from Mr Vango in the 3m2f Becher over these fences (wore cheekpieces second time); warmed up for this over hurdles after three months off; the Becher performance was doughty stuff but his only go at a marathon trip was last year's National in which he finished a remote tenth, always behind. |

23rd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Back over hurdles with respectable fifth of 15 in Class 2 event at Haydock (3m, good) two weeks ago; 5lb lower back over fences but he's 0-12 in this sphere and he fell at Ayr on his penultimate run; down the list. |
9/1 |

5th 8 |
9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Sparked just once in each of the last two seasons, at Doncaster; visored on latest start, after three runs in cheekpieces; often tongue tied as well but goes without any equipment today; his last hurdle race was in February 2024 and other options look a lot more solid. |
25/1 |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Good third off 4lb higher in first-time cheekpieces at Doncaster (3m, soft) in January; however, his form away from Doncaster hasn't been great in the last two seasons and the visor needs to have a positive influence. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Very useful chaser at his best but below par last season, just fifth in his bid to win the Freebooter at Aintree (3m1f) in April for the third year running; cheekpieces on when a remote fifth in 3m Bangor handicap the following month; has a bit to prove after a break. |
8/1 |

23rd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
Took big step back in right direction when fifth at Aintree (3m1f, good to soft) last month, in race he won the previous two seasons; still on a workable mark and has a fighting chance here if first-time cheekpieces have any positive effect. |

23rd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Left Gordon Elliott after disappointing hurdle run last autumn; well beaten again on stable debut in March but, after wind surgery, he returned to chasing with a good second at Fakenham (3m, good) 19 days ago; has possibilities if he can build on that but his last win was in 2023. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 2 |

Left Gordon Elliott after disappointing hurdle run last autumn and was again well beaten when returning for new stable in March; given a wind op since and reverts to chasing on a workable mark but still looks risky. |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Best known as a chaser these days and was tailed off back over hurdles on his final run for Gordon Elliott, whom he left for £30,000; on a good mark but there's much to prove on first sighting since October. |

23rd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Four-time chase winner at up to 3m1f; well handicapped on his Huntingdon win for Henry Daly last March but he's struggled since including in two runs for new yard this spring; ran well to a point at Ludlow last time but he was on the retreat when he fell and others preferred. |

30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Potentially well treated on old form but signed off for Henry Daly with his own ideas about the game and he made a quiet start for this yard at Huntingdon after wind surgery; risky. |
16/1 |
|
5th 1 |
1st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Comes with some risk, having proved recalcitrant in sole start this term (left Henry Daly and had wind surgery since); otherwise interesting back at Huntingdon, with record of 2-2 over fences here comprising wins in this contest for the last two years. |
8/1 |
