3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Highly progressive over fences in the first half of last season, winning here four times (2m, good to soft/good); 2m5f here appeared to stretch him last month following some time off; has a lower mark to work with back over hurdles and he could play a leading role back down in trip. |
7/2 |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Highly progressive over fences last summer, winning five handicaps (four here) at around 2m on ground no worse than good to soft, though he ended the campaign pulled up at Cheltenham; has since had a second wind op and could find more at this longer trip (2m3f hurdle winner), which will be needed off this mark following a break. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Faced a stiff task on unsuitably soft ground when last seen; progressive otherwise and ran well in Grade 2 novice chase at Wincanton earlier in November; interesting with Sam Twiston-Davies back on board, having been successful in five of his last six starts (fences/hurdles) under this rider. |

29th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
In fine form since returning from 14 months off in July, winning twice over hurdles and twice over fences including over C&D (good) in August; seemed to be beaten fair and square when second of three off this mark back here last time, but still a player in this field. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Won first two starts over fences (2m1f, good) and shaped just as well when reverting to hurdles off 13lb lower, finishing runner-up at Southwell this month; latest second, over fences at Perth 23 days ago, was perfectly respectable but his current mark looks demanding. |
3/1 |

2nd 2 |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Launched chasing career with wins at Stratford (2m1f, good to firm) and Plumpton (2m1f, good) last month, and also ran well when second over hurdles on Tuesday; evidently in very good nick but current chase mark asks a question of him, and today's forecast slower ground is probably not ideal. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Three-time winner over fences (once over C&D) in early part of last season; returned from break with two below-par hurdle runs this spring but could be back at concert pitch for this return to chasing; a possible. |
7/1 |
|
4th 1 |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Won five over hurdles for previous yards and three over fences last term for current trainer; may have needed the run when seventh of eight finishers at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) last month after six-month layoff but probably needs to come down the weights. |

3rd 5 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Multiple winner down the years and latest effort suggests he retains plenty of ability aged 12; has a respectable record (252, last three years) in this corresponding race but it remains to be seen whether his old legs can make it fourth time lucky. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
25th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Good-ground specialist with 11 chase wins on his CV, including 2025 edition of this race; shaped well before weakening into fourth at Bangor (2m1f, good) this month, after a layoff, and can make a bold bid from the front under Sean Bowen. |
