4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Runner-up at Wincanton (2m4f, good) in March and comfortably went one better when dropped back to 2m1f at Cartmel (2m1f, good to soft) in May; a 6lb rise isn't harsh and he's unexposed at this sort of distance; player. |

Opened chasing account at Fontwell (2m5f, soft) in December and bumped into a rejuvenated subsequent winner when second at Wincanton (2m4f, good) on latest outing in March; contender if this drop back in trip suits. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Course regular who kept on well to win by over 5l over C&D (good) in March and won't mind if the ground is much slower today; absent since well-held third behind Ballintara at Plumpton in April, though, and needs to be in peak form to overcome current mark; cheekpieces replace blinkers. |

Dual course winner on slow ground last season (2m5f/3m2f); not quite at best on two starts this term and was behind Record High when fourth here on Boxing Day but has possibilities if perked up by change of headgear. |

Returned from huge absence in October and shaped with promise in sixth here (3m2f, soft); this 10yo failed to build on that when fifth over C&D subsequently and he unseated early at Hereford 11 days ago, but he's not ruled out in view of his October performance here. |

6th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Course winner; a lot of his form is over shorter but he proved his stamina for 3m when runner-up at Ffos Las two weeks ago (good); unlikely to be far away off the same mark. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Produced a remarkable late surge to snatch what had looked an unlikely victory at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft; blinkers removed) last month but this inconsistent 9yo tends to race lazily nowadays and got going too late when back at Fontwell a fortnight ago; other are much less risky. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Didn't fire in 3m1f race won by Judicial Review here last month and is not one to rely upon but ran big race when third to Defence Witness over C&D (good to soft) in May and has obvious claims if judged on that form. |
8/1 |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Three wins over fences and ran well when beaten just over a length into third of seven behind Defence Witness here (2m5f, good to soft) last time; 2lb better off and has won off 1lb higher, but has been pulled up in all three previous attempts beyond 2m5f; stable also runs Unwanted Attention. |

24th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Kept on well to collar an idling Beat The Edge and score at Sedgefield (2m3f, good to soft) in February but it's probably wise to treat that form with a degree of caution, and he managed only fifth when back at Sedgefied (2m5f, good) the following month. |

10st 12lb |
2-21 over fences, the latest win in January 2021; twice a runner-up on heavy ground last March but pulled up both starts since; probably needed the run last time after 235 days off and he now has a career-low mark, but others are more persuasive. |

Twice a runner-up on heavy ground in March, including here, and probably found the good ground too lively when pulled up back here in April; has the ability to figure but has tended to need his first run back from a break in the past. |
