3rd Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Placed in a Grand Sefton and a Topham for Alan King so these fences hold no fears; returned from a lengthy break to win a February point by 15l and he's had wind surgery since; this veteran could have a part to play. |

Well below par in his last two runs (hunter chase latest) with and without the cheekpieces that triggered a return to winning ways in a 3m handicap at Doncaster over Christmas (good); not the easiest to predict and ideally wants drier ground, but too talented to rule out. |

15th Dec 2023 Soft 3m 5f 56y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Very effective in cheekpieces but has gone 2-2 since fitted with blinkers, winning a Listed chase in France before enhancing his excellent record over Aintree's Grand National fences with a 2l success in last month's Grand Sefton (2m5f, heavy); the mud is by no means a necessity for him to show his best form and he seems to possess the tools for a test of this nature provided he gets home (unraced beyond 3m2f when keeping on); high on the list. |

11th Nov 2023 Heavy 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |

Had form on heavy in France; beaten a nose in this race last year and also runner-up in the 3m2f Becher here last December, both on good to soft; off the boil afterwards, including in the C&D Topham in April, but he returned from three months off with a narrow win when blinkers replaced cheekpieces at Auteuil (2m6f, very soft) in September, suggesting he is back in the mix. |

Pulled up on three of four appearances during very disappointing campaign last season and not an easy horse to weigh up at present but has slipped to a dangerous mark and may have been refreshed by eight-month break. |

9th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 0f 37y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Pulled up twice this season but was badly hampered on reappearance and never on an even keel after early mistakes at Warwick last time; far from disgraced over 3m4f here in between; returning to 3m should suit and he's been given a big chance by the handicapper; interesting at likely lengthy odds. |

Ended last year in poor form and he struggled again on his return at Cheltenham (3m4f, good) last month; mark continues to fall but he's now 1-15 over fences and needs to get back on track. |

Ended last year in poor form on soft/heavy ground but the drier conditions ought to suit him better here and he won't fail through lack of stamina; can be very dangerous off current mark if refreshed by 130-day break. |

30th Sep 2023 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Lightly raced 11yo who has seemingly been difficult to train; absent since scoring in first-time cheekpieces at Taunton (2m7f, good) in February but won 2020 edition of this race off today's mark and was a very close second to One True King in it last year; dangerous to ignore. |

7th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
11yo who has been lightly raced in recent years and was well beaten at Doncaster (3m, good) in December last time out; however, this is less competitive and he was a short-head second of five at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) last September; stays 3m and is not ruled out in first-time cheekpieces. |

29th Dec 2022 Good 2m 7f 214y Class 3 |

10yo who returned to form when staying on well for a short-head second of five at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) in September on his second start back from an absence; the step back up to 3m is a likely plus and he could be a player if conditions suit (good ground seems best). |

12st 0lb |
Usually gives his running but has a poor strike-rate over fences (1-18) and he dropped away to be beaten some 31l last time at Warwick when the subject of strong market support in first-time blinkers; one of the highest rated in here but others appeal more. |

Often runs well in defeat but he's now 1-17 over fences, having performed below his best the last twice; connections turn to blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) for some assistance; others are safer. |
