11st 6lb |
When a 23l third at Newbury (2m, soft) two starts ago he was behind two highly progressive rivals and he continues to drop down the weights, but positive performances have been scarce this season and he was tailed off at Sandown (1m7f, soft) last time. |

15th Feb 2024 Soft 1m 7f 99y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Has won six times over fences but seems to have developed his own ideas about the game and looks a difficult ride these days; below form this term on both British starts on heavy; latest outing was his best show this season but he needs to better that. |

Three-time chase winner on good ground, twice over 2m2f here; on a tempting mark now but has lost his way a bit this season and conditions are likely to remain softer than he prefers today. |

11st 2lb |
Ten chase wins since last seen over hurdles in 2020, the latest when digging deep at regular haunt Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in August; below-form fourth of five at Wincanton last time but still looks the main threat to Tuxedo Junction. |

5th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Teenager who was in career-best form last season, winning three times over C&D (all on good to soft); well below that level this term but ran well from the front when third at Stratford (2m6f, good to soft) last month and the return to this track is an obvious plus. |

22nd Dec 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Raced mainly at around 2m but returned to form with clearcut success when upped to 2m4f at Lingfield (good to soft) 11 days ago and is now 6-20 over fences; escapes a penalty here (due a 5lb rise) and ought to cope with the slower ground; obvious contender. |

11th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Yard had good record with chasers here in recent years and won today's race in 2021 but this one rarely runs beyond 2m and well below his best in two runs this season; has stamina to prove on first 2m4f run. |

27th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 212y Class 3 |

10yo who is not easy to predict but he shaped as though he needed the run at Huntingdon on his recent return and he's 2-3 over C&D, including a win in this race (off 3lb higher) last year; looks interesting back at this track and he's in the mix for in-form yard. |

Useful juvenile hurdler during 2021-22 season but chasing did not go to plan last term and there has been no revival since he reverted to hurdling; handles soft ground; unraced on heavy. |
