11st 12lb |
Resurgent 11yo who won three 2m4f chases last season and was creditable second in valuable series final for veterans at Haydock (2m4f, good) last month; can't be ignored in current form. |

6th May 2024 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Questionable what he achieved behind an easy winner when back chasing at Ludlow in February and especially after a lesser run at Newbury, albeit in a strong handicap (2m4f, good to soft); on the plus side, drying conditions are in his favour and his only previous attempt at 3m was in the valuable handicap at this track in 2022; could be a player after wind surgery. |

21st Apr 2025 Good 2m 3f 98y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Best known for his heroics at Newbury but is also suited by this track; very well handicapped on old form for Fergal O'Brien but, following a long absence, has not shown a great deal for his owner-trainer this season, including when back at Newbury last month; revival needed. |

10st 11lb |
Record of 3-4 over fences at Newbury includes two attempts in this contest, winning easily (off 12lb higher) in 2022 and third in 2023; has struggled elsewhere since returning from long absence but may prove resurgent back here, despite his advancing years. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Progressive for Emma Lavelle last term, winning this off today's mark and backing it up with solid placed efforts; however, he's struggled for this yard (early unseat in Kerry National, pulled up at Chepstow and tailed off at Cheltenham when last seen in October) and now has something to prove. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Five-time winner over fences but got no further than the first in the Kerry National on stable debut and didn't run much of a race at Chepstow two weeks ago; this is a tough race in which to bounce back. |
40/1 |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Got no further than the first in the recent Kerry National at Listowel; has won five times over fences and was mostly consistent for Emma Lavelle earlier this year; wouldn't be that well handicapped but entitled to have a say. |
8/1 |
