23rd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
Took big step back in right direction when fifth at Aintree (3m1f, good to soft) last month, in race he won the previous two seasons; still on a workable mark and has a fighting chance here if first-time cheekpieces have any positive effect. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |

Has failed to show his form in both outings this term but a revival looks highly likely back at Aintree on return from four-month break; 2-2 over fences at this venue, namely wins in this race for the last two years (good/good to soft); had a similar prep when winning by 5l off just 1lb lower 12 months ago; commands respect in the hat-trick attempt. |

C&D winner in May on his second start for James Owen and was holding his form until heavy defeats in his final two races; now on a recovery mission. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Scored at Uttoxeter (3m, good) in May, his second start for James Owen, and ran big race when clear second to thriving opponent at Cartmel (3m1f, soft) in June; needs to bounce back from last month's duff effort at Market Rasen but still features prominently in calculations. |

Looked a hard ride when second at Bangor (3m, good) but travelled sweeter with the blinkers back on at Cartmel (3m1f, soft) and just missed out; nudged up another 3lb but has to be respected. |

Won this last year (soft) on his reappearance and ran well in the main subsequently, finishing fourth here in March when last seen (2m3f, good to soft); can have a big say if handling conditions (unraced on good ground). |

Placed in a bumper and made promising start to Flat career last summer but both handicap runs this year have been very disappointing; first-time cheekpieces need to revive his fortunes. |

Lots to prove regarding current form having been struggled over fences/hurdles on his three starts this season, but they've all been on good ground which might not have suited; not discounted off dangerous mark. |

Began year with two point wins at Alnwick (maiden/restricted) and again ran well when second (beaten about 4l) behind Boley Bob at Tranwell (3m, good to soft) last month; each-way claims at least. |

Showed some ability when third in Corbridge point (2m4f, soft) in April but well beaten in Hexham point (3m, good) in May and he's shown very little under rules; a long way out of the weights on handicap debut. |

11st 6lb |
Last three wins have been in 2m4f handicap chases at Ayr, although won a 2m Ayr novice handicap over hurdles in March 2023 (good); hasn't been in top form over fences on last three starts and probably best watched this time. |

Three chase wins at Ayr (2m4f on soft/good to soft) last winter but below best there in March and at Carlisle since; Callum Pritchard takes off a helpful 5lb but adding cheekpieces acknowledges something needs to change. |

Remains a maiden and he's not proved the easiest to catch right this term, only tenth over C&D 16 days ago; cheekpieces are reached for now. |

3rd Nov 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Much better from the front over C&D last time, when having Angel Amadea just behind; that gave something to build on but this looks more competitive and he's exposed as ordinary under both codes. |

2nd 1 (8) |
29th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Maiden (0-14 all codes, 0-7 Flat); has shown a modest level of form in each of his last three starts (6f-1m, turf), falling sharply in the weights as a result; tough to consider even though this is just his second AW appearance. |

Only his second handicap when going close at Newcastle (2m1f, heavy) in February and, on this very different track, he could bounce back from his remote third at Hexham; cheekpieces added. |
