28th Jul 2024 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Admirable veteran with 17 wins to his name, the latest off today's mark at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) only last summer; may have needed his comeback run and wouldn't put it past him running well. |

19th Oct 2023 Good 1m 7f 207y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Two wins towards the end of last year from first three hurdle starts (2m/2m4f, good to soft) and went very close on handicap debut at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) in April when last seen; Lucinda Russell excels with chasers and this soft-ground point runner-up could improve now tackling fences. |

2nd 3 |
27th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Highly tried the last twice in Grade 2s and kept digging to finish third at Kelso (2m2f, good to soft) most recently and that's strong form, with the front two not disgraced in the Grade 1 Tolworth earlier this season and the fourth winning a Grade 1 novice chase at Punchestown on Tuesday; looks well handicapped and returning to this longer trip is very much in his favour. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Defied much higher marks twice, including over C&D, a couple of years ago; has failed to repeat the form since and ran particularly poorly last time. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Five-time hurdle winner who continues to drop down the weights; however, it's a long time since this 11yo has been competitive. |

3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Five-time winner, including over 2m3f here; hasn't been at his best in two runs this season and probably best watched in what looks a competitive event. |

27th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Runner-up to Envoi Allen in the Champion Bumper of 2019; not reached the heights expected of him since sent over obstacles, winning only a maiden hurdle and a beginners' chase; not the first time he has bled when pulled up in a Leopardstown handicap in February but the ability is there to beat these should the wheels stay on; changed stables but remains in top ownership. |

17th Jan 2023 Heavy 2m 0f 164y |
11st 12lb |
Talented horse but has had more off days than on days; never really fulfilled his immense early promise; started off last season well over fences but ended the season bursting at Punchestown; often runs well fresh so not to be underestimated and the most likely alternative to his stable companion. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Hasn't won for ages but nearly put that right when going down by a neck here on Saturday (2m5f, good); Leah Noreci rode then so he's without the 10lb claim this time; still respected with cheekpieces added. |
7/4 |

2nd 7 |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Fourth (2023) and eighth (2024) in this race previously, and winless for exactly four years now; place prospects only, therefore, a return to form at Newcastle latest notwithstanding. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Point winner who won a novice hurdle at Cartmel in May 2022 (2m6f, good); has run a couple of fair races over fences, including when fourth over an inadequate 2m here last time; step back up in trip will suit; place chance. |
