13th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 5f 24y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Thorough stayer but he was a remote third in this 12 months ago and nowhere near his best this campaign; an 11yo now and age seems to be catching up. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Began this year with some respectable efforts, most notably when second in first-time blinkers at Chepstow (3m6f, good); should be fine on the slower ground here but has fitness to prove after 224-day break and others appeal more; cheekpieces refitted. |

9th Apr 2025 Good To Firm 3m 4f 85y Class 4 |

2lb out of the weights; he was 3lb wrong and didn't jump that well but stuck to his task to be second at Chepstow (3m6f, good) in the first-time blinkers 20 days ago; thereabouts with something similar. |

His sole success came back in 2021 but he showed more than of late when fifth of 11 in 2m6f Stratford handicap chase three weeks ago; more is required from 5lb out of the handicap however. |

8th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Veteran who ran respectably behind a couple of younger rivals at Southwell (3m, heavy) last month; however, it's three years since his sole success; not the percentage call. |

2nd Feb 2024 Good To Soft 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |

Scored on heavy ground in March 2021 but that remains his only win from 29 starts; place case can be made but others look stronger for the win. |

14th Apr 2024 Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Hard to fancy, being a modest sort whose recent form figures are dominated by the letter P and who is 11lb out of the weights; first-time blinkers need to have major effect. |

14th Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made the frame on all four chasing starts during the 2023-24 season and is well handicapped on those exploits but can't really blame the slow ground for this year's three disappointing efforts; blinkers refitted. |

10th Apr 2023 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Weakened when favourite at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) last month but that was after two runner-up efforts including in a marathon handicap at this track; now drops back to 2m5f but he's versatile trip-wise and has claims if he can get back near his best; 2lb out of the weights. |

6th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Both wins gained at Huntingdon just over a year ago; not much since until remarkable performance when third at Market Rasen last week, from 33lb out of the handicap; hard to place maximum faith in that but repeat certainly makes him of serious interest. |

29th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 3f 34y Class 3 |

Two Huntingdon wins a year ago but not in that form lately and out of depth in this company (33lb out of the handicap). |

11th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Likeable stayer who won twice over fences in late 2020; returned from a two-year absence in February and has been very mixed over hurdles either side of a 3m2f win (soft) in March; trip worry back chasing. |
25/1 |

7th 6 |
25th Nov 2023 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
20-1 winner at Warwick (3m2f, soft) in March and he's also effective on good/good to soft ground; however, the win was his sole bright run among five starts earlier this year, and he was down the field the last twice. |

13th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Ex-pointer who came good under rules with clear C&D (soft) success on Boxing Day 2021 and ran a big race in defeat when back here a few weeks later; didn't run anything like as badly as eventual 43l defeat may suggest on seasonal debut in November and the return to this track is an obvious plus. |
