12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Point and hurdle winner on soft ground; has improved for the switch to fences, making it 2-2 with a strong staying performance over C&D last month, both wins coming under Freddie Gingell; up another 4lb, but he remains open to further progress and may well complete the hat-trick. |

27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Point winner who was 1-8 over hurdles but he made a smooth transition to chasing when scoring over C&D (good; 13-2) three weeks ago; up 3lb but he travelled well for a long way last time and hit a personal best with that convincing success; interesting contender. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Landed a Southwell maiden hurdle (2m4f, soft) in March 2024; largely out of form in limited starts since but there were signs of a revival here (3m2f, good) last month in first-time cheekpieces; needs to back that up but could improve for this switch to fences. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 100y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Won hunter chases at 2m5f and 2m last season but his peak efforts have come over staying trips and he shaped when fourth of five at Worcester (2m4f, good) 12 days ago like he would appreciate today's longer distance; the cheekpieces are left off once more; respected on second start back from a break. |
4/1 |

4th 2 |
10th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Won two hunter chases in early part of this year (2m5f/2m) and was second of four when back in a handicap at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) in May; takes on in-form rivals on this first start since, though, and they appeal more. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
11yo who is 1-16 over hurdles as opposed to 9-36 over fences but has a lower mark in this sphere and ran respectably when 12l second of six back over hurdles at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good to firm) latest; not discounted. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 2 |
19th Jul 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Better chaser than hurdler and forgiven latest heavy defeat in a strong handicap; his last hurdle run was four starts back when beaten a neck at Wincanton (2m5f, good); could run well, though some stamina reservations over quite this far. |

27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Well treated on old form but his last win was in November 2023 and he's generally struggled since then; has something to prove and all of his wins have come on good to soft or slower. |
12/1 |

4th 4 |
8th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Ran quite well when fifth in valuable final of this veterans' series at Sandown (3m, good) in January but was well beaten there later that month and has become far too inconsistent to support with any confidence; tried in a visor for the first time. |
11/2 |

4th 4 |
31st Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 42y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Proved somewhat resurgent, following several non-completions, in the Veterans' Final over C&D on seasonal debut; however, needs to build on that effort and prove that he's still capable of peak form, on which he's admittedly well treated. |

27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Six-time chase winner who returned to form with a rallying second at Taunton (3m4f, good) last month; only 1lb higher here and has claims if he can build on that back in trip. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
9th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 85y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Six-time chase winner but now appears to be on the downgrade; pulled up when bidding to win the Grimthorpe at Doncaster for the third time in February and was tailed off at Ascot (2m5f, good) 11 days ago; can only be watched at present. |
12/1 |

4th 1 |
29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 13y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Ran no race in Doncaster's Grimthorpe last month (3m2f, soft; blinkers returned) and he had a good record in that race; did run quite well there the time before; unwise to focus too much on his reduced mark when clearly not the force of old, but he has returned to winning ways from out of the blue in the past, and he'll enjoy getting back on forecast good ground; earns respect. |
