21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Rather in and out, and followed a Ludlow win (3m, good to soft) in December with a listless fourth over the same C&D three weeks ago; needs first-time headgear to inject some sparkle. |
6/1 |

26th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Returned to form with hard-fought C&D (good to soft) win in December, his second C&D success, and was nudged up only 1lb for that; obvious contender if in similar mood again. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Went up 5lb for winning a 3m handicap that fell apart at Ludlow (good to soft) in February and that was under a 3lb claimer; probably has no margin for error off this mark and that spells danger in this warm a race; that said, his Chepstow run after a break was encouraging. |

7th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Very inconsistent in recent years but proved he retains ability when commendable third from out of the weights in cross-country chase at Cheltenham (3m5f, good) in November, and his run in a conventional chase there (3m4f, good) three weeks ago was a fair bit better than eventual 46l defeat might suggest; in calmer waters here and not discounted. |

16th Apr 2025 Good 3m 4f 21y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Proved he retains ability when commendable third from out of the weights in cross-country chase here (3m5f, good) in November but his subsequent form in orthodox handicap chases is not compelling. |

19th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Out of form in France this season but only 12 months ago he was beaten 2l in a 2m4f Kempton handicap (soft) off a 10lb higher mark; stamina for this far is not entirely proven but wouldn't be too dismissive. |
5/1 |

30th Mar 2024 Heavy 2m 3f 203y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Poor 1-17 strike-rate over fences but fair fifth in hot Cheltenham handicap (2m4f, good to soft) in January on first run back with this yard and ran well when 2l third of six at Kempton (2m4f, soft) last month; this 10yo now contests his first veterans' chase and is firmly in calculations. |
7/2 |

3rd 8 |
24th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Campaigned in France from October 2021 until November 2023, winning once (over hurdles) and making the frame plenty of times; not disgraced in a warm race at Cheltenham four weeks ago on his return to British soil, taking fifth of 13 at 50-1, but he is only 1-16 over fences (the win in 2019) and does not look the percentage call. |

9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Consistent sort who gained a first win of the current campaign in 3m Musselburgh handicap chase 37 days ago; not ruled out despite taking a 7lb hike in the weights. |

31st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 138y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Front-runner who won twice last season (soft/good) and bounced back from heavy-ground blip to finish second at Aintree (3m1f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; runs well a lot more often than not and he's a leading player. |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
12yo who has struggled at biggish prices in his two runs over 2m7f at Chepstow (tailed off/pulled up) this winter; dropped another 4lb but his last win was in April 2024 and he needs a major revival; stablemate of Camulus. |

27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Yet to add to his two soft-ground chase wins in early 2024 and is a 12yo now, but faced very tough task from out of the weights here on last month's seasonal debut and contests this easier race from a workable mark. |
14/1 |

2nd 4 |
23rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Clearly best efforts on soft going and, following two unseats, he was beaten 15l when fourth of five on good ground at Doncaster on latest outing; competitive on best form; stable also runs Fuji Flight. |

13th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Multiple hurdle/chase winner but he's lost his way since a 2m4f success at Ffos Las (good to soft) last June and has offered little in three runs this season; well treated on his best form but with plenty to prove. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Multiple hurdle/chase winner; unseated rider in early stages of a chase last month, after a layoff, and was tailed-off 66-1 shot when back over hurdles at Worcester (2m7f, good) 17 days ago; others have much less to prove. |
33/1 |

7th 6 |
6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
7-39, with three wins over hurdles, but he's hard to predict and was badly out of sorts in the autumn; unseated early on last month's return and reverts to hurdles off his last winning mark, but it's difficult to know what to expect. |
16/1 |
