9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Lost his way after winning twice over hurdles in November (2m4f, good to soft; once here) and was a disappointing favourite when well-held third of four on last month's chasing debut at Ludlow (3m, good); may yet turn things around but comes here with quite a bit to prove. |

3rd 2 |
10th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper winner who completed a 2m4f double over hurdles in November for a good start to his handicap career; not in same form in two completed starts since; chance of revival largely hinges on the switch to fences. |
7/2 |

6th 4 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Back-to-back wins at this sort of trip in November on good to soft; fell early when favourite next time and it was his first run on soft when tailed off at Huntingdon; on this ground and with cheekpieces added, he's one to consider. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Scored over hurdles at start of this year and built upon his promising chase debut when winning four-runner race at Plumpton (2m4f, good) a fortnight ago; only 3lb higher here and probably still on the upgrade; wears tongue-tie for first time; good chance. |

1st 3 |
26th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
1-9 over hurdles; shaped with clear promise on chase debut when second at Uttoxeter (3m, good) 24 days ago; drop in trip shouldn't be an inconvenience and a bold bid to go one better can be expected. |
13/8 |
|
2nd 4 |
2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Battled well to win over hurdles at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in January and also ran well when clear second to next-time-out winner at Southwell (2m4f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in March; moves back up in trip for this chasing debut and has Irish pointing experience to call upon; high on the list. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Just 1-12 over hurdles and ran poorly when upped to 3m2f at Perth last month; makes chasing debut from a workable mark, though, and his Irish point win in 2024 bodes well for his prospects over fences. |
6/1 |

13th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 127y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won a Worcester maiden hurdle last May (2m7f, good); creditable runs handicapping since; conditions suit; chance. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 3 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won his maiden over this trip at Worcester last May and has since shown he can cope with this sort of mark; whether he'll cope with today's ground is another matter as his best form has been on good. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Returned to form and completed quick hat-trick over hurdles in February (2m-2m4f, good to soft/soft) but quickly went off the boil towards end of last season (pulled up on two of last three appearances); competes off his lower chase mark here and might be allowed an uncontested lead but has a poor completion rate over fences; risky. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 137y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Rattled off a hat-trick at Ludlow (2m) in February but he beat only one off a 7lb higher mark in 2m1f Newcastle handicap six days ago; could bounce back off a 2lb lower mark. |
6/1 |
|
5th 2 |
11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 190y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Weakened when third of five (13-8 favourite) in this last year; back to form, completing a February hat-trick (Sedgefield twice and Ludlow, rising steadily in the weights); reportedly "ran flat" when pulling up at Ayr (2m5f, soft; from 5lb lower) latest; needs to bounce back. |
