7th Mar 2025 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Has dropped a long way in the weights since starting out in handicaps and was only 3l away at Uttoxeter (3m, soft) in this first-time headgear combination; clearly capable of winning a race of this nature. |

8th Feb 2025 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Made his handicap debut last March and is now 19lb lower, having been well held when he took minor honours on last three outings; probably stays 3m but arguably needs better than soft ground; tongue-tie and cheekpieces are now given a first go. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 5f 24y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Thorough stayer but he was a remote third in this 12 months ago and nowhere near his best this campaign; an 11yo now and age seems to be catching up. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Began this year with some respectable efforts, most notably when second in first-time blinkers at Chepstow (3m6f, good); should be fine on the slower ground here but has fitness to prove after 224-day break and others appeal more; cheekpieces refitted. |

3rd 4 |
9th Apr 2025 Good To Firm 3m 4f 85y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
2lb out of the weights; he was 3lb wrong and didn't jump that well but stuck to his task to be second at Chepstow (3m6f, good) in the first-time blinkers 20 days ago; thereabouts with something similar. |

13th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Suffered early mishap three starts ago but placed on other four outings this season, most recently when second ay Exeter (3m, good) three weeks ago; ran poorly on only previous visit to Fakenham and would appeal more on ground slower than good but still features prominently in calculations. |
5/2 |

22nd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Suffered early mishap on penultimate outing but placed on other three starts this season, most recently when clear second to dual subsequent winner at Leicester (2m6f, heavy) last month; might not be ideally suited by the much quicker ground here but still commands respect. |

7th Mar 2025 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has won over hurdles but below best in four handicaps since returning from a lengthy break, the last two over fences; has 13l to find with Innisfree Lass on latest running; cheekpieces may help. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
9th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won a heavy-ground maiden hurdle last season (2m4f) but has been a long way below that form in three runs after a long break, the latest when pulled up on his chase debut; should be fine over this far with his pointing background but comes with risks right now. |

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 |
11st 10lb |
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. |
4/1 |

3rd 4 |
15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
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. |

14th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Went chasing without success but she made a winning return to hurdles at Southwell recently (all three wins at 3m there; heavy and soft); raised 5lb but it remains to be seen if she can be as effective around here. |
7/4 |

1st 4 |
18th Feb 2026 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won this is 2024 (first-time cheekpieces), followed up over C&D (also heavy) seven weeks later and beaten just a neck on only other start here; has been chasing since without success and finished a long way off Asa at Catterick last week (first-time blinkers) but returning cheekpieces, hurdling and this C&D are all reasons to be positive. |
