26th Apr 2024 Soft 3m 6f 121y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Won 3m/3m2f handicaps on testing ground last year but has been struggling of late and cheekpieces didn't work wonders for him last time; no headgear here but others have more pressing claims. |

2nd Nov 2024 Good 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Well beaten over hurdles at Worcester in September but was returning from a 104-day break and chasing is his game nowadays; won two in a row over fences at Southwell (3m, good) in the spring and he's a strong contender if back on song today. |

13th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 7f 199y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Has won over 3m2f on soft at Kelso; sound reappearance run when third at Ayr in October (3m, good to soft); rather disappointing since; fell in this race two years ago; has a bit to prove. |

3rd Feb 2025 Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 5 |

Chase record is 2-22; regressive this season but this drop back to Class 5 may prompt a turnaround; won at Ayr on last attempt in this grade. |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Won two small-field chases (3m1f/2m7f) about two years ago but was pulled up last month, after a long absence, and might need another run or two before he's of interest again. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
On the up when last seen out in the spring of 2024, bagging a pair of handicap chases (around 3m) at Catterick and Newcastle; has a 23-month absence to overcome here but yard is among the winners so he's no forlorn hope. |

30th Mar 2023 Heavy 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
He's on a reduced mark and had wind surgery prior to being brought down at the fourth fence here a fortnight ago; however, he was pulled up twice in a row prior to the wind op and this 12yo has plenty to prove. |

16th Mar 2023 Heavy 3m 7f 199y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Very strong claims on the form of his all-the-way deep-ground Ayr wins of three years ago, but twice pulled up in December when last seen and a big response to further wind surgery is required. |

29th Dec 2022 Heavy 3m 2f 39y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won twice on soft ground, including over 3m3f, at Ayr in January/March 2020, but was then off for 672 days; hasn't recaptured his best form since; plenty to prove. |

13th Jan 2024 Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Well backed when reverting to fences at Newcastle (2m7f, soft) in November and bounced back to form with a win; his inconsistent profile is a concern but he remains well treated back up 5lb and has won over C&D. |

27th Apr 2023 Yielding To Soft 4m 2f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Fair chaser who was at his best in 2018 when winning twice on good ground for Henry de Bromhead on good ground; soundly beaten in two races over this course this season; stiff task now having been pulled-up at Hexham four weeks ago. |

30th Mar 2023 Heavy 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
5lb lower than when fair sixth of 20 at Cheltenham (3m1f, good) last October and represents respected Irish yard; however, he hasn't been at his best on his last three starts and the testing conditions could be a negative; needs to raise his game in a first-time tongue-tie. |

7th Mar 2025 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Has won two of her last three races, both at Carlisle, over 3m2f in December (soft) and over 2m5f last month (soft); has gone up 9lb (4lb for latest win); should go well again although best efforts on stiff tracks (yet to win in four tries here). |
