11st 4lb |
Four-time chase winner but his last success was in December 2022 and he has form figures of PPP8 for current yard; continues to tumble down the weights but he has a lot to prove and can only be watched. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Still going okay until a bad error at Worcester latest, but hard to be confident on the preceding chase and point efforts this year that he'd have gone very close; 0-14 going left-handed versus 4-11 clockwise. |

Very well handicapped on old form but did not show a great deal in three small-field points for new stable this spring and was pulled up on both rules starts at Cartmel last month (chase/hurdle); headgear swapped here. |

10st 8lb |
Gave good account when second off today's mark at Ludlow (2m4f, good to soft) in December and both runs this year have been very respectable but his career strike-rate is just 1-28, and he may better suited by right-handed tracks. |

Won this race last year by 13l off 5lb lower; back down in trip and back near that form when second at Ludlow (2m4f) six weeks ago on latest start, so he is back in serious calculations. |

Course regular who's struggled in recent times, coming more than a stone down the weights in the past six months; is hard to recommend on recent efforts running from 9lb out of the handicap. |

Dual C&D chase winner (soft/good to soft) but has been relatively low key since back from a break; is at least dropping in the weights and a turnaround is not ruled out back at this course. |

16th Jul 2023 Good 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |

Made all in first-time cheekpieces at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) for Evan Williams in February but was quickly back in the doldrums next time; sold for £6,5000 in May; no cheekpieces for today's stable debut; versatile regarding ground but not an easy horse to predict. |

Ex-Irish veteran who holds weak claims on his form for current yard and is a shadow of his formerly smart self; drop in class may help to some extent but others have stronger claims on recent evidence. |

Far from reliable having posted form figures of FP1PPP in his last six races (hurdles/fences); the win came at Ascot (2m7f soft) and he holds good claims on that performance; just hard to back with confidence. |

11st 2lb |
Dual course winner in 2022 (2m4f/2m6f) but has regressed and become inconsistent; didn't run badly in selling hurdle on Boxing Day (first-time blinkers) and is versatile regarding ground but younger rivals appeal more. |

Lightly raced 8yo who has had only three starts over fences and he won here (2m6f, good to firm) in November before being brought down at Ludlow (3-1 favourite) the following month; now steps back up in trip but he was strong at the finish on his penultimate run and should have more to offer in this sphere; key player. |

Two wins in 2019/20 but absent for nearly two years after the second of them and hasn't recovered his form; however, change of headgear offers hope (won in first-time cheekpieces); best if able to lead. |

Bumper/2m novice hurdle winner for previous yard but he wasn't the same force for them after an absence and well held in handicap chases for these connections; is one to watch back up in trip. |
