11st 13lb |
Looked as good as ever when beating Special Acceptance to win Haydock veterans' chase (3m1f, good to soft) in April but has become unreliable and was under pressure before unseating rider at third-last fence at Perth in September; not an easy one to predict. |

Recorded his third chase win when scoring at Haydock (3m1f, good to soft) in April but he's not easy to predict and was pulled up behind Saint Arvans over C&D last time; was reported to have had an irregular heartbeat in a post-race examination and he needs to bounce back after a short break. |

12th Nov 2024 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 4 |

Has very modest 1-31 career strike-rate but was clear second to a big improver on last month's seasonal/stable at Uttoxeter (3m, good to soft) and is also suited by this C&D; leading contender. |

Teenager who has gone over two years since his latest win and has been out of form this season (three runs); revival needed. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Won this race in 2024 (soft ground) but never really got going last season and was very disappointing favourite in a point last month, after a layoff; now a teenager and needs to prove he still has what it takes. |

11st 6lb |
No win since April 2019; placed in last season's Welsh Grand National and is now 29lb lower but looked badly out of sorts this winter; swapped cheekpieces for refitted blinkers at Chepstow 16 days ago and there was an upturn but he was 10l behind the winner Domaine De L'Isle so still has work to do. |

23rd Mar 2023 Soft 3m 6f 130y Class 4 |

Teenager who hasn't won since April 2019; placed over C&D (soft) in last season's Welsh Grand National and is now 26lb lower but has looked badly out of sorts this winter and it's hard to predict whether he'll warm to the task today; swaps cheekpieces for refitted blinkers. |

12st 2lb |
Won his only start at this track (2019); clear best effort last season was his near-miss at Ascot (3m, soft) in January; 6lb lower today but that's after failing to fire in his two starts this term; absent another 107 days, with questions to answer. |

15th May 2023 Soft 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |

Possibilities if returning to his early-season form last campaign but now has to bounce back from two non-completions; the return of cheekpieces (tried blinkers last time) is a positive and he's got himself well handicapped. |

8th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 125y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Nothing like the force of old and his only win in the last three seasons came in a two-runner hunter chase in February 2022; runner-up in a small-field handicap in December but that's probably not good enough form and he was soundly beaten 12 days ago. |

Very smart chaser three seasons ago but only win since then came in a two-runner hunter chase over C&D last February; wouldn't be the obvious answer under top weight. |

9th Dec 2022 Good 2m 7f 214y Class 4 |

Smart in his prime but his only win from eight hunter chases this year (under Freddie Gingell) was in a match; however, he is well treated on his best 2022 form and was a respectable second back in a handicap at Lingfield (2m4f, good to soft) on his recent return after 192 days off; looks interesting if he can build on that and this step back up in trip is a positive. |

Very lightly raced since winning two novice hurdles in 2018-19 season and, following a two-year absence, pulled up on both his starts this winter; tried cheekpieces latest; has since left Olly Murphy. |
