11st 4lb |
Came good over fences with comfortable success at Bangor (2m4f, heavy) in December and will be fine over today's longer trip, but began this year with two disappointing efforts and may find today's ground too lively; had wind op last month. |

led, headed and raced in second before 11th, reminder after 12th, not fluent and dropped to rear 13th, rallied and went second 4 out, weakened after 3 out |

4th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 3f 123y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Three-time hurdle winner on good ground (2m5f-3m); still early days over fences and he's getting the hang of things judged on his second at Fakenham (3m5f), albeit in a very small field; thereabouts. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Hasn't won since Ludlow success in November 2023 (2m5f, good to soft); two fair runs over this sort of trip at Market Rasen and Ffos Las in February and could go well again. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Best effort for two years when under 4l behind Gold In The Rivers at Market Rasen latest (2m7f, soft), passing stopping rivals having lost his pitch; 2lb swing with that rival and yard back among winners in the meantime. |

Well handicapped on old form but didn't fire during light campaign last season and was tailed off when reappearing in December; revival needed. |

21st Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Placed four consecutive times (2m7f-3m6f) after his C&D (heavy) win in first-time blinkers just under a year ago; still on a workable mark but was pulled up when tried in a visor last month and is untested on ground faster than good to soft. |

7th Feb 2025 Soft 3m 5f 142y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Lightly raced 9yo who has been consistent in staying chases at up to 3m1f but stamina appeared stretched over 3m6f at Exeter (soft) last time; will need to see this out better and the change of headgear is a grey area. |

12st 0lb |
Runner-up at Haydock in April but tailed off at Warwick the following month and absent since; yard in good form and James Turner takes off a very handy 10lb, so there are grounds for optimism. |

9th 8 |
13th May 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Bumper winner who has been inconsistent in his five-race hurdling career but he returned to form with a good second at Haydock (3m, good to soft) last month and is a key player if he's on song once more. |

20th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Encouraging 12l second in Worcester novice hurdle (2m, good) last October; might have run into a place but fell heavily at Sedgefield on penultimate start; didn't jump well when pulled up latest; bit to prove. |

13th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Placed over hurdles in France in 2021 and chased home a good horse at Worcester (2m, good) in October but his two handicap runs in the autumn were very disappointing and he comes here with a fair bit to prove. |
