31st Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Only four completed when a 16l third at Exeter (3m, good to soft) and that was another effort well below the form he showed in 2024; reduced mark is for good reason but this isn't a strong race, so hard to leave him out of calculations. |

Well handicapped on his wins in staying chases two seasons ago but this campaign needs to turn a corner and he'd prefer softer ground. |

26th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Bettered poor seasonal debut when third over C&D (good to soft; 8l behind Anytrixwilldo) in refitted blinkers in January, but he ought to have been suited by the heavy ground when pulled up at Ffos Las on Friday and has become far too unreliable. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |

Has become well handicapped and finally completed again when a 12l third at Ludlow (3m, good to soft); could build on that with yard having winners again. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |

No better for the 279-day break when registering yet another pulling up last month, despite having his preferred 3m on slow ground; 9lb below his one British winning mark now but hard to warm to; blinkers return. |

7th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |

Well handicapped on old form but has not really fired on any of three starts since returning from a long absence this season; getting away from heavy ground might aid his cause but he still has a fair bit to prove. |

Won two 3m chases (one on soft here) in 2022-23 season but absent 614 days before two low-key runs this term, way behind the front two when he took third on heavy ground at this track last time. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Has returned to form of late and gained his fifth chase success, at Ffos Las (3m, good) last month; there was no disgrace in finishing second to a resurgent Tommy Beau at Fakenham (3m5f, good) this month and he holds strong claims while in this form. |

2nd 9 |
4th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Revitalised 9yo who won stylishly on good ground over C&D and at Ffos Las (3m) last month; contests a much stronger race today but still needs to be taken very seriously in current mood. |

In-form 9yo who won four-runner marathon at Fakenham (3m5f, good) in pretty good style last week; also very well suited by this C&D and ground slower than good; respected under 7lb penalty. |

11st 11lb |
11-race maiden; emerged from spell in the doldrums with respectable fourth here (2m3f, heavy) in February, but was safely held over that trip on good ground at Chepstow last month; back up to 3m today; others look safer. |

16th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Good to see him complete last time and was only about 6l off the winner at Ffos Las (2m3f, heavy), where dropping back in trip helped; now 2lb lower than when a close second over hurdles here last April; may prefer softer ground but interesting otherwise. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Creditable second behind well-handicapped rival here (2m, soft) in November and will be fine over today's longer trip but has become far too inconsistent to rely upon, and needs first-time cheekpieces to help him rebound from a poor run over fences a fortnight ago. |
7/1 |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Mixed results over hurdles this term; chase record reads 24FPP; returns to this sphere looking well treated on best form but it's difficult to know what to expect from him. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Proven on deep ground and has run well here over 2m-2m4f; failed to complete on his last three starts (all here) last winter; returns on a handy mark and has won when fresh, so he could be involved if revived. |

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 |

7th 3 |
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. |
5/1 |

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. |

Has run well at this track and is very well handicapped on old form but pulled up on all three starts since returning in December from a mammoth absence and needs to prove some ability remains; blinkers refitted. |

Pulled up in his two starts (heavy/soft; visored both times) since an absence of just over two years; old form suggests this better ground will suit but it still requires a leap of faith to support him in the added tongue-tie. |

Won off this mark at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) last April and has run well over this C&D; however, she's struggled to get competitive this season and first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) need to prompt a revival. |

Stayed on dourly to win two-finisher contest over C&D (soft) in April but it might be wise to treat that form with a degree of caution and an 8lb rise asks a lot of him on this first start for seven months. |
