Veteran who won this race last year and followed up off today's mark at Chepstow in October; only three runs since (one on Flat) and Galway latest was a step back in the right direction; has to be considered. |

11st 7lb |
Very useful handicapper on good ground but he's 1-17 over fences and fluffed some very winnable opportunities last season in hunter chases; ran okay in a C&D handicap last month but he's rarely the percentage call and now tries a visor. |

11st 9lb |
Won comfortably at regular haunt Chepstow (3m6f, good) in March and was probably unlucky not to follow up there (3m2f, good; in front when sprawling on landing at final fence) last month; went up another 5lb after the latter run, though, and may not be quite so effective on this sharper track. |

Raced mainly at around 2m4f and is on the downgrade now; went close off his much-reduced mark in four-runner race at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) in January but safely held twice since; formerly trained by Milton Harris/Anthony Charlton; now with Hariet Dickin; others preferred. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Not quite a year since he won off a 20lb higher mark at Perth (3m, good); insufficient encouragement on last two stasrts, even allowing for the inadequacy of the trip, and hopes rest with the return of the cheekpieces worn for last four wins. |

Won three valuable marathons in a row in 2022-23 campaign and was honourable fifth in Grand National the following season; never really got going in 2025-25 but returns from 471-day absence on a tempting mark and will be suited by the forecast good ground; market helpful. |

22nd Mar 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 86y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Former winner of Wincanton's valuable Badger Beers Chase when with Kim Bailey; lost his way for that yard as age caught up and unlikely that a repeat of his recent pointing exploits will see him beat the best of these. |

18th Nov 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Won the Badger Beers at Wincanton (3m1f, good) in 2020 and fair fourth in the same race a fortnight ago (good to firm); that was his second start back from an absence and he could be working his way back into form, but he's done all of his winning on good/faster and slow ground is expected. |

5th Nov 2022 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
Repelled Potterman by the skin of his teeth in this race two years ago but could only finish fifth last year when burdened with top weight and he wasn't seen again until pulling up four weeks ago at Chepstow (2m7f; jumped poorly); too well handicapped to ignore and perhaps a visor will spark something. |
