27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Well treated on old form but his last win was in November 2023 and he's generally struggled since then; has something to prove and all of his wins have come on good to soft or slower. |

8th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Ran quite well when fifth in valuable final of this veterans' series at Sandown (3m, good) in January but was well beaten there later that month and has become far too inconsistent to support with any confidence; tried in a visor for the first time. |

31st Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 42y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Proved somewhat resurgent, following several non-completions, in the Veterans' Final over C&D on seasonal debut; however, needs to build on that effort and prove that he's still capable of peak form, on which he's admittedly well treated. |

17th Nov 2024 Good 3m 3f 71y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Has run well on good ground here and won at Sandown (3m, good to soft) in March; reappeared with solid third at Exeter (3m, good to soft) last month and she should be fine with today's test (albeit well beaten 12 months ago); 2lb out of the handicap but not discounted for bang-in-form yard. |

22nd Oct 2024 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Thorough stayer who gained last season's chasing win at Sandown (3m, good to soft) in March; not quite in same form at Plumpton later that month but has good record when fresh and begins her new campaign on a workable mark; had wind operation in August; good chance. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 4m 1f 56y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
The final leg of his four-timer for Brian Ellison two winters back was this race off 4lb lower than today; never fired on all cylinders last term but reappeared for new yard in November with a sparkling win, employing new tactics as he made all at Carlisle to come home 9l clear; back up 8lb, so needs to be back at his very best, but he's one for the shortlist. |

25th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Has had a patchy campaign and was pulled up in the Midland National last time; however, he showed some spark at Musselburgh (3m7f, good to soft) in February and is just 1lb higher than when winning the Eider at Newcastle (4m1f, heavy) last season; not ruled out now back down in trip/grade. |

10th Jan 2023 Heavy 3m 0f 54y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Smart staying hurdler on soft/heavy who missed 2020 and 2021; retained a fair chunk of ability over hurdles and on belated chase debut last spring but was struggling from a long way out before pulled up back over hurdles at Wincanton on Boxing Day; is hard to call after that. |

26th Dec 2022 Soft 3m 0f 150y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Missed 2020 and 2021; both starts this year (February and May, chase debut last time) showed that plenty of ability remains and he needs a second look, particularly if the ground is heavy, on which he has registered all but one of his eight wins; 7lb claimer is recruited. |
