15th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Began this season with a win at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) in November but has disappointed on all three subsequent appearances (cheekpieces added last time) and needs to turn things around. |

28th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 3m 2f 13y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Having his fourth start over fences when edging home at Hereford (3m1f, soft) but he failed to back it up when well held at Exeter and heavy ground shouldn't have been an issue; remains on the same mark, so 8lb higher than for his win. |

Won this race comfortably by over 9l for Paul Nicholls in 2023 (good ground) and came good for current stable in soft-ground open point in March; not discredited when fifth in a good point last month; respected. |

14th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 2f 40y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
11yo who was in career-best form in refitted cheekpieces at the start of 2023, winning twice at Chepstow; remote fourth when bidding for the hat-trick there in April, though, and off since. |

15th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |

11yo who has been in career-best form in refitted cheekpieces this year, winning twice here (2m3f/2m7f); moves up in grade today but is pretty versatile regarding ground and must be considered in current mood. |

17th May 2023 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Veteran chaser who isn't the easiest to predict nowadays and has twice been pulled up since scoring at Kelso (2m6f) in January; he reverts to hurdles with something to prove. |

15th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Made all to cause 20-1 surprise at Kelso (2m5f, heavy) in January but performed poorly on other four of five starts since returning from long layoff this season, and it's hard to predict whether he'll warm to the task. |
14/1 |

22nd Mar 2023 Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Made all at Kelso (2m5f, heavy) in January and it's possible this trip will be within range; however, the Kelso win has been the only bright run among his four outings this season and he was tailed off last time. |

1st Feb 2025 Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Placed in a Grade 2 over hurdles during a light career with Dan Skelton; that was a long time ago now but she's been running well in points and has less to prove than a few of these from a wellbeing perspective. |

14th Dec 2023 Heavy 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
More miss than hit over the last 12 months or so but he won at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) in January and returned to form to go very close behind East Street at Wetherby (3m, heavy) last month; key player if again on song. |
