1st Mar 2025 Soft 2m 7f 86y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Acts on soft; has form figures of 22113 since switched to fences, the wins at Ludlow (3m) and Leicester (2m6f); lacked fluency back at Ludlow (2m4f) last time but still ran creditably; solid chance. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
On a good mark now and was seemingly back in good form when close fourth of 11 at Chepstow (2m7f, soft) in February; tended to jump left and was below that level without cheekpieces at Carlisle (3m) last month but has possibilities if combination of drop back in trip, first-time blinkers and return to a left-handed track has desired effect. |

8th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Got off the mark over fences at Wetherby (3m) in December 2024; little encouragement this term until fourth of 11 in 3m Chepstow handicap 23 days ago; this lightly raced 9yo is not out of this if able to build on that recent effort. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Yet to strike form after three runs this season (cheekpieces added two starts ago); back on a good mark now and drops in grade today but still needs to up his game; suited by soft ground; unraced on heavy. |

31st Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Effective on all ground but Leicester is his favourite patch; his record elsewhere isn't that solid and twice well held here, as was also the case when tried in blinkers last time at Uttoxeter. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Particularly effective at Leicester, as best form this season confirms; his record at Uttoxeter isn't as solid; nicely weighted but chance partly depends on how well he responds to new headgear. |
7/1 |

24th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Leicester specialist whose good record here features second-place finishes in this contest last year (off 2lb higher) and on latest outing (had wind surgery since); solid claims. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Defied a virtually identical absence to today's at Perth this time last year (good); inconsistent when last seen, however, and over three and a half years since he last lowered a mark in the 120s. |

15th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |

Course winner here last September (2m4f, good); back to winning ways last time at Ffos Las (3m, good to soft); interesting contender off this 5lb higher mark. |

30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Won 3m handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (good) in October and followed up in a chase here over the same trip later that month when finishing alone; form has dipped since, over fences and hurdles; needs to bounce back. |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Won a 3m handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (good) before returning to fences at Ludlow (3m, good) where he finished alone; form has dipped since, over fences and hurdles; on a perfectly good mark if he can bounce back to form. |
9/1 |

18th Feb 2026 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Won a 3m handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (good) before returning to fences at Ludlow (3m, good) later in October where he finished alone after being left in isolation three out; tailed off in a Hereford chase on latest start and absent 107 days since; back hurdling on a competitive mark but with more to prove on worse than good to soft. |
