24th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 199y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Had his troubles after such a promising start over fences for the Skeltons but he's back in the good books after small-field handicap wins at Bangor and Uttoxeter (both on good ground; effective on softer); returns to far classier company here and may be found wanting. |

29th Jun 2025 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Has regressed since showing such smart form for the Skeltons but looked back on good terms with himself when comfortably accounting for Fringill Dike at Bangor (2m1f, good), having led from halfway; back up 9lb but might well have turned a corner. |

17th May 2025 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Very well handicapped on old form but, following a long absence, did not really fire on any of five starts for new stable last season; not beaten far when last of five in Ascot race won by Coastguard Station in March and another 5lb lower here but still needs to up his game. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 36y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Beat In The Air and Captain Cool when winning at Stratford in July; bled from the nose when pulled up there next time (2m3f) but ran better when third there last time; a possible. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Front-running veteran; well suited by good or faster ground and he battled on well to score over C&D in July for a 12th chase win; bled from the nose when pulled up over further back here a fortnight ago but this return to shorter is a positive. |
10/1 |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Front-running veteran who is well suited by good or faster ground and battled well to score over 2m1f here last month, his 12th chase win; not sure to be ideally suited by today's longer trip but no surprise if he makes another bold bid. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
All four chase wins came around 2m when trained by Dan Skelton; ran well on yard debut in December but little to show for his eight subsequent runs; has dropped to a dangerous mark, however. |
20/1 |

4th 1 |
10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Three places and 59l ahead of Betty's Tiara over C&D last week (good), though still well held himself and simply isn't coming very close at present to recording a first win beyond 2m1f; 5lb badly in compared to future mark. |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
An 11yo now who isn't as good as he was and has predictably lost some of his old speed; hasn't been running badly in handicaps at about this trip but looks vulnerable. |
8/1 |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
On a good mark but an 11yo now and has lost some of his old zip; ran okay at Uttoxeter last time but got outpaced when it mattered and was never threatening; what will help here is the likelihood of a good pace and some rain; respected. |
10/1 |

29th Jun 2025 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
An 11yo now and, in first-time cheekpieces, finished well behind at Ayr in a race he had done well in previously; this wouldn't be so demanding and his penultimate effort was quite encouraging; by no means ruled out. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |
12st 1lb |
Has done most of his winning at about 2m but second over C&D in his last two races, running his usual honest race; thereabouts off an untouched mark. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Multiple jumps wins, mostly at about 2m, but he ended a losing run over this C&D (good; made all) in June and ran to a similar level here in July, off this 7lb higher mark; likely to need a bit more today. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Multiple winner but his first success beyond about 2m when making all for a 9l victory over C&D 23 days ago; back up 7lb but had dropped to a good mark. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
In fine form over fences and went 3-4 this summer in three-runner handicap at Kelso (2m1f) 15 days ago; has his first run in this sphere since 2022 but scored over C&D then so can't be discounted off a reduced mark. |

16th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 14y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Made all in a visor at Southwell (2m, good) in June and again had plenty in hand when getting back on the scoresheet in first-time blinkers at Stratford (2m1f, good to firm) last month; the favourite flopped there but this one's been raised only 3lb; the visor returns; has to be respected. |
11/8 |
|
1st 1 |
25th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Gained his sixth win over fences, at Southwell (2m, good) when making all in June off 8lb lower; looked to be found out by the weight rise when third of four at Newton Abbot (2m, good) last month, and although this track may play to his strengths he has never won off such a high mark; first-time blinkers replace visor. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Three-time C&D winner, including this race last year (good ground); probably won't be favoured by any rain but didn't run badly in Class 2 event at Worcester (2m4f, good to soft) in September on latest outing and is sure to be suited by the return to this track; high on the list. |
