14th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 5f 28y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Took advantage of a reduced mark on his second run after wind surgery when making all to score by 12l at Newcastle (2m4f, heavy) last month; back up 7lb in the weights but he remains well treated on his best form and is versatile ground-wise; major player again. |

Won four chases in 2011 but hasn't really fired this season; had another wind op last month and is too well handicapped to rule out but needs to up his game. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
All starts on softer than good; no win from 16 attempts over fences but runner-up in seven, including off this mark when he tried an extended 3m6f in the North Wales National at Bangor on penultimate start; ran creditably over 3m7f at Chepstow latest, so has place claims again but he does not look the percentage call for win purposes. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 6f 136y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
All starts on softer than good; no win from 15 attempts over fences but runner-up in seven, including off this mark when he tried an extended 3m6f in the North Wales National at Bangor last time; probably the most likely to give his running and get seriously involved. |
9/2 |

11st 2lb |
A runner-up on six occasions over fences but 0-14 in this discipline and came up short in a veterans' chase a month ago (3m1f); looks vulnerable. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Soft ground may be a negative and well beaten at Catterick 17 days ago, but he might have needed that first outing in nearly a year; in good form last winter, including a win at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft), and no surprise if he bounces back and is in the shake-up; stable won this last year. |

9th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 51y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Won this race off a 10lb lower mark in 2025 (good to soft); creditable second at Market Rasen eight days later but hasn't run since; could go well if fully tuned up after nearly a year off. |

Confirmed the promise of his reappearance fourth here when beating an odds-on shot seeking a four-timer at Catterick last week (2m3f, good to soft; pair clear); big chance under penalty. |

28th Oct 2024 Good 3m 0f 20y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Out-and-out staying veteran; placed on all four starts last season in a light campaign, winning at Catterick (3m1f) in December before finishing a good second, off this mark, back there (3m6f) the following month; respected but his record back from a break suggests he'll likely need his first outing since January. |

11th Jan 2024 Soft 3m 5f 214y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Ended long losing run with an easy win here (3m1f, soft) a fortnight ago; on that evidence his claims shouldn't be dismissed off today's 8lb higher mark, but this 11yo is in a tougher race and is unproven at the trip. |

Conditions suit and although 2lb out of the handicap is on a good mark; hasn't been in top form this season, though fair run when fourth at Wetherby last time (2m5f, good). |

6th Mar 2023 Good 2m 5f 75y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
He's dropped to a mark 15lb lower than when winning at Catterick (2m3f, good) last January and there have been some fair efforts this season; not ruled out but it's been a patchy campaign and others appeal more. |

Now 6lb lower than when winning at Wetherby (3m, good) in November but not really firing on all cylinders this spring, albeit he kept on to make the frame twice at Hexham this month (3m/2m4f); others preferred. |

Has been in the doldrums since a chase win here (2m, good) in December and he's been tailed off back over hurdles at this track (3m/2m4f) in his last two starts; mark continues to fall but he has plenty to prove back up in trip. |

Recorded his second chase win here (2m, good) in December but has form figures of PP44 since and that latest was fourth was a tailed-off effort at this track; now 1lb lower than for last win but has plenty to prove back over hurdles at this trip. |
