17th May 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Multiple winner at up to 2m5f but none since 2022 and the last year or so hasn't gone well; this belated step up to 3m (having run over 2m last time) is perhaps more in hope than expectation. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
5-30 over fences, his latest win coming off 1lb lower here (2m5f, soft) last July; still has to prove his stamina, but he ran well for a long way on his stable debut/return from 253 days off at Hexham (3m, good to soft) 15 days ago; could go well. |

Won off a much reduced mark at Cartmel (2m5f, soft) last summer but didn't go on from there and this 11yo has been out for a while. |

9th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Once useful for Nigel Twiston-Davies but his long losing run has continued for current yard and ran no more than okay in the first-time visor at Kelso 17 days ago; others appeal more. |

22nd Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Useful over several seasons when trained by Nigel Twiston-Davies; signed off for him with some below-par runs in the autumn and made low-key start for new stable this year but significant positives can be drawn from his run in refitted cheekpieces at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) last month and he has possibilities here if combination of drop back in trip and first-time visor pays dividends. |

15th Feb 2023 Good 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Scored twice as a novice chaser last term (2m4f/2m5f) and fared better than the bare result on reappearance (2m3f); pulled up last time but may still have more to offer; first crack at 3m under rules. |

Winless since 2021 and he came in a well-held 11th after eight months off in 2m4f Worcester handicap chase nine days ago; others are more persuasive. |

Justified favouritism in the 2025 Stayers' Veterans' Chase Final at Sandown (good) most recently, taking record over 3m to 2-3; in top form aged 11 and still unexposed at this distance. |

Dual chase winner but not been at his best this season (last twice over hurdles); on a good mark and conditions suit; could go well. |

12th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |

Useful chaser at his best but didn't fire on either start over fences this season and was unable to land a telling blow when back over hurdles last month; needs to turn a corner. |

20th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Two-time hurdle winner who scored over fences at Wetherby last March; however, this 10yo has been below par in chases on his two outings this season and a return to form is needed. |
