19th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Lightly raced and he's 2-2 over fences, at Southwell 40 days ago (about 3m1f) defying a 13lb rise and a 393-day absence with a narrow verdict; if he can back that up then a 3lb nudge shouldn't be beyond him. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won over hurdles here in October 2024 and returned from seven-month break with wide-margin C&D (good) success on chasing debut last May; absent for another 13 months since and now 13lb higher but remains unexposed over fences and can evidently go well when fresh. |

3rd 2 |
13th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Only one win from 18 runs over fences but he tends to run his race and has plenty of placed efforts to his name; below par when third off this mark over C&D last month and now wears a refitted tongue-tie; could quickly return to form. |
7/4 |
|
3rd 3 |
23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Won this race for Alison Thorpe a year ago (good ground; visored) and returned from layoff with close second for new stable at Southwell (3m, good; first-time blinkers) a fortnight ago; strong claims. |
6/4 |
|
2nd 2 |
9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
In good form for Alison Thorpe in early part of last season, notably when winning at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good); yet fully to convince stamina-wise at around 3m and has fitness to prove on this stable debut (same owners) but Sean Bowen (who has won on him before) is booked; swaps visor for first-time blinkers. |

2nd 3 |
16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
No win in five starts over hurdles but he made it 2-4 over fences when beating eight rivals at Market Rasen (3m, good) 11 days ago; has a penalty but that was a cosy success and he's open to more progress at staying trips; respected. |
11/4 |

1st 8 |
5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Ran out a 5l winner on his chase debut at Bangor in April (3m, good) and next time couldn't lay a glove on an all-the-way winner; another good run when 4l behind at Southwell having travelled best throughout; should run well. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 6 |
9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Low-mileage 7yo who tends to race too freely but displayed considerable improvement when upped to 3m and switched to fences at Bangor (good) in April, winning by 5l; beaten about 21l when second over C&D last month but gave the all-the-way winner far too much rope that day, and his margin of defeat was magnified by late jumping errors; remains of strong interest. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Four-time chase winner and has been in good form since May barring his penultimate race; never far away when runner-up at Bangor last week (3m, good) and must have every chance once more. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Four-time chase winner; returned from break with three good efforts this spring, including a C&D third (good), but looked very laboured when well beaten at Southwell 17 days ago; needs to bounce back. |
8/1 |
|
4th 5 |
9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Four-time chase winner; no longer the force of old but returned from break with three placed runs last month, losing out only by a short head at Fontwell (3m2f, good) last time; can make his presence felt again. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Returned to racing under rules with win in four-runner chase at Fakenham (3m, good) in April, in which his three rivals toiled and were pulled up; it's hard to gauge what that form is worth and his overall profile is not compelling but he clocked a good time (despite being eased right down). |
8/1 |
|
1st 5 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Runner-up over hurdles here (2m4f, good; first-time blinkers) on latest rules start last June and competes off a 10lb lower mark today, but his chasing strike-rate is 0-11 and this year's point form is uninspiring. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
1st Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Hasn't been pulling up any trees in his recent chases following a lengthy absence but he is 2-6 over hurdles and well handicapped should the new blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) have some impact. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
1-15 over fences; runner-up twice in cheekpieces at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) at start of this year but didn't fire in first-time blinkers (retained) at Fontwell last month; others are more persuasive. |
14/1 |

6th 1 |
6th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-5 over hurdles and 1-14 as a chaser; clearly difficult to win with but arrives here in a good run of form and always a chance that new headgear might give him a lift; an assured stayer. |
6/1 |
|
4th 6 |
9th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 85y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
His sole success came when landing this race last year (good to firm) in first-time cheekpieces off 3lb lower mark; has ran with credit since when placed and his second at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) in February will have set him up nicely for a repeat bid. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Ran well for a long way before fading into fourth at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) last month but is effectively 7lb higher from out of the weights here and it's over three years since his only chase win; tries a new trip. |
33/1 |

19th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Returned from layoff with two modest efforts towards end of last season (2m/2m1f) and remains without a win since 2023; yet to convince stamina-wise over this sort of trip; difficult to enthuse over. |
14/1 |
|
4th 5 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 219y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Four-time Flat winner and 1-10 over fences; peak efforts were a long time ago now and he was tailed off when third at Huntingdon after 297 days off; 4lb out of the weights. |
