22nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Nine chase wins, the latest over C&D (good) just over a year ago; as good as ever in recent weeks, finishing second on his last two outings, and has a big role to play. |

8th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |

Scored twice (at up to 2m4f) over fences last summer and back in good form of late, a clear second in five-runner handicap chase at Cartmel (2m1f) ten days ago; this veteran is not out of things. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Had a spell in the doldrums for previous yard, so was well treated on debut for this one at Hereford (2m5f, good) in May when having a match in safe keeping from a fair way out; on similar mark here but he was tailed off at Worcester (2m7f, good) last month and needs to bounce back after another wind operation. |

12st 0lb |
Had a spell in the doldrums for previous yard, so was well treated on debut for this one at Hereford (2m5f, good) in May when having a match in safe keeping from a fair way out; that form amounted to little (second well below best then and since) but this one has gone back up just 2lb and should stay this first attempt beyond 2m5f under rules. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Multiple hurdle winner at up to 2m5f on a sound surface; 1-3 over fences, the win coming in a three-runner race at Wincanton (1m7f, good) in March; can go well fresh and still unexposed as a chaser; player. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Multiple hurdle winner at up to 2m5f on a sound surface; 1-2 over fences; won a three-runner chase at Wincanton (1m7f, good) when last seen in March; encouraging record after a break; up 3lb and is unexposed as a chaser over this trip; player. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
0-5 under rules but ran his best race when second of five at Worcester (2m7f, good) in July over hurdles; makes chase/handicap debut and could well be an interesting prospect over fences. |
9/2 |

2nd 2 |
16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Finished last in his only bumper and beaten between 15l and 36l in three maiden hurdles (2m2f-2m4f); hard to make a compelling case for him but he has shown something and this is weak. |

6th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Record of 2-17 over fences; he's capable and not badly handicapped, but his profile is very up and down; finished tailed off last time at Worcester. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Capable chaser on his day having won two of his 16 races in this discipline but he's very up and down; others are safer. |

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

2m6f winner at Stratford last October; another good run to be fourth at Ludlow in January (2m4f) but bit below that level since, last time sent to France. |
6/1 |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Made all to open account at Stratford (2m6f, good to soft) in October, his eighth chase, and has performed well off today's mark on both subsequent outings (2m4f, soft/good to soft); up in grade today but still enters calculations. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Needs to rebound from a poor run in June but has largely consistent record since switched to fences last autumn and seems versatile regarding trip; raced mainly on good ground but handles good to soft; could have a say. |
8/1 |
|
4th 3 |
16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
In the frame all six starts since switch to chasing in the autumn, including course win (2m3f, good) in first-time cheekpieces in March; ran big race when second (albeit well held in the end) over 2m5f here last month; strong claims if stamina holds out over this longer trip. |

20th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
6-15 in points and 0-6 under rules; however, he was runner-up in a maiden hurdle at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in June and has filled the same position in handicap chases on his last two starts (3m2f/2m6f, good to firm/good); strong contender. |
11/8 |

2nd 2 |
5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Six-time point winner; 0-5 under rules, no match for easy winner at Newton Abbot (3m2f) nine days ago; may build on that, his first run since wind surgery, in first-time cheekpieces. |

10st 7lb |
Outran 33-1 odds when keeping-on third at Stratford (2m6f, good) and is unexposed over this sort of trip but his career strike-rate now stands at 0-39 and his overall profile remains unconvincing. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 9 |
5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
0-38 under rules; well held at Warwick in June and Stratford in July. |
