18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Front-running chaser who can go clear in his races but he's not won since December 2023 and was pulled up in his last two runs over fences; on dangerous mark back in this sphere but he needs a major revival after six months off. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Veteran without a win since November 2024 but showed there was still fire in the tank when third over C&D 17 days ago; younger rivals may have his measure here, however. |

3rd 10 |
2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Has won four chases, including over C&D in May 2024 (good); best recent form has been at Musselburgh and he was below par over C&D last time (good). |
14/1 |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
11yo whose losing run goes back 11 races to November 2024 but he ran pretty well off his lower hurdle mark at Musselburgh last month, following a break, and all four of his wins have come over fences (two of them here); not discounted back chasing. |

21st Feb 2023 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Returned to form with 13l win on chase debut at Musselburgh (2m4f, soft) on New Year's Day and bounced back from lesser run at Sedgefield with fair third at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft); there can be optimism he'll be fine now back up in trip and on the forecast good ground; not ruled out. |

8th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won over C&D (good to soft) in March and back on the scoresheet when doing it easily at Perth (2m4f, soft) in September; made two bad mistakes and was pulled up at Ayr (2m4f, good to soft) only on Saturday but remains of interest in view of that penultimate performance. |

held up in rear, bad mistake 3rd, soon detached, recovered towards rear when bad mistake and dropped to last 10th, pulled up before 11th |

27th Sep 2023 Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Just held on to open account off 2lb lower at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) in March and also ran well on his next two outings (2m5f/3m); has fitness to prove after 133-day break but still enters calculations. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 65y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Incredibly consistent on his last four starts, three seconds and a win (all on good between 2m3f and 2m5f) returning an RPR of 100 each time; had course form over hurdles for previous connections and he's a player once again from an unchanged mark. |
6/4 |

2nd 9 |
21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
In good form over C&D this summer since the visor returned, just denied on his June reappearance then going one better 20 days later, and matched those efforts when down in trip and runner-up at Stratford (2m3f) last month off this mark; likely to run well again. |

9th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

Comes here badly out of sorts, tried blinkered when pulled up (for the third start running) over C&D in July; it's easy to look elsewhere. |

1st Jun 2024 Heavy 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |

Dual C&D winner in November/December 2021 (good to soft/heavy); rather disappointing since and probably best watched despite tumbling handicap mark (4lb wrong here). |

5th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Ran respectably in his first two chase starts (both last season) but hasn't fared nearly so well in two runs this term; hurdles win came off 8lb higher, so has possibilities if coming back to form. |

7th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Made underwhelming seasonal debut in November and ran as though something was amiss here (2m7f) a fortnight later; on a good mark now and should cope with today's drop back in trip but needs to prove his wellbeing. |

5th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Inconsistent maiden who has achieved little in handicap hurdles the last twice; worth a crack at chasing (has pointing experience) but he's not solid on form. |

1st Jan 2023 Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Well handicapped, but out of form over hurdles this season since returning from a 744-day break; plenty to prove on chase debut (ordinary form in two runs pointing in Ireland). |
40/1 |

8th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 0f 46y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Fair fourth at Hexham (2m, good to soft) in September when back from a long absence; tailed off/pulled up since in his first two handicaps (both 2m4f, soft); it's possible he'll appreciate this return to better ground but he has plenty to prove. |

5th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 5 |

Irish challenger; still a maiden under rules but showed positive signs with third-place finishes at Downpatrick (2m3f/2m7f) on last two appearances; heed the market signals on return from five-month break. |
