25th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won two in a row (good/heavy) prior to finishing second in this last year (good to soft); he's 5lb lower than 12 months ago and is one to watch in the betting, but this 11yo has been tailed off/pulled up on his two runs this season and a major turnaround is required. |

22nd Jan 2024 Frozen 3m 1f 100y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Back-to-back wins at Ffos Las (3m, good) and Taunton (2m7f, heavy) last March and only 3lb higher than for the latest of those; however, he's an 11yo now and his reappearance was underwhelming even if that was over 2m4f. |

2nd May 2025 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Useful chaser for Emma Lavelle; consistent pointer and closely matched with Clashhill on his penultimate run, since when he's won easily at High Easter (3m, good to firm); looks a player. |

4th May 2024 Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Placed off 7lb higher mark in stronger race than this at Exeter (3m, good to soft) in November but was pulled up on next two outings and was last of four (albeit not beaten far) when cheekpieces were added for latest run; now 0-15 under all codes and needs to up his game; drops back in trip with visor tried today. |

20th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Won by 9l over C&D (soft) in December, matching his gutsy win in this race last year (heavy) as a career best; one problem is that both of those were off 6lb lower than today; another is that he showed little in the Surrey National last time, but he needs plenty of respect back here. |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 4f 178y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Showed career-best form when winning by 9l at Exeter (3m6f, soft) last month and is now 6-15 over fences; should be fine on this left-handed track but recent 7lb rise asks quite a lot of him. |
7/1 |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Won three in a row once the cheekpieces were added early last year and he was better than ever last season, winning the Devon National (3m6f) on latest start; only 1lb higher today but this is a big drop back in trip and he's raced on only soft or heavy going for the last two years. |

15th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 7f 86y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Sent chasing two seasons back and won three from six; absent 568 days before third of 15 at Bangor (extended 2m4f, soft) in November but tailed off at Exeter (2m3f) over three weeks later; not proven beyond 2m5f; latest win was under a 7lb claimer and another claimer gets the leg up today. |

30th Jun 2023 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Irish raider; still 9lb higher than when winning at Bangor (3m, good to soft) in October; didn't run badly when fourth at Perth (3m, good to soft) this month and will be favoured by any rain but needs to up his game. |
