22nd Oct 2023 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Habitual front-runner who gained six of his 11 chase wins here, most recently when fending off Jay Jay Reilly over today's trip in May (good ground; now 2lb lower); getting long in the tooth now and has questions to answer after some disappointing runs during the summer but it won't be a big surprise if he gives this a good shot. |

21st Aug 2023 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Dangerous front-runner on his day, especially at Kempton where he's won six times; can go left-handed but he needs to bounce back from some below-par efforts. |

Dangerous front-runner on his day, especially at Kempton where he's won six times; can go left-handed but his last couple of runs weren't his best and he now has to bounce back. |

15th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Campaigned mostly on good/good to soft; contrasting performances since switched back to hurdles from fences, winning major handicap at Kempton (2m5f) under Tristan Durrell then well held at Ascot; the penultimate piece of form gives him a chance. |

17th Feb 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 58y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Had been competing over fences prior to springing a 33-1 surprise in the Lanzarote at Kempton (2m5f, good to soft) in January, travelling well for a long way and sealing the issue with a good jump at the last; up 7lb but that's solid form and he's likely to be in the thick of things again. |

13th Jan 2024 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Successful over hurdles and fences at Kempton; however, hasn't raced in this sphere since a heavy defeat over C&D in March 2022; watching brief is advised. |

17th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 6f 41y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
10yo who is 2-16 over fences with latest win in March 2023, but he took some minor honours over a wide variety of trips last January-May; has a recent run under his belt and, having run creditably in the first of two runs with cheekpieces, he now tries a visor. |

21st Jul 2024 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 2 |

Should be well handicapped, likes good ground and returned to form with a pleasing second at Newton Abbot; often takes a good hold so the assured strong pace here will aid his chance. |
6/1 |

2nd 7 |
14th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Did not hit top gear during light campaign last season and was well beaten (albeit on soft ground) last month, after a break; on good mark now and might be seen to better effect if the ground stays good here but others have much less to prove. |

22nd May 2024 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Four chase wins (from 14 attempts); has seemingly found himself stranded too high in the weights since scoring at Worcester (2m, good) in October 2022; back to his last winning mark after unseating rider early on at Plumpton last September; fitness is taken on trust. |

1st Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 110y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Will be suited by today's good ground and was a very useful handicap chaser in his prime but was out of form for Fergal O'Brien when last seen last summer and it's hard to gauge how much ability he retains as a 12yo. |

6th Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 3 |

Ran well in defeat in Ludlow hunter chase (2m4f, soft) in April but was well beaten when back in a handicap two months ago and is patently not the force of old; pulled up at 2023 Cheltenham Festival on only previous start in cheekpieces. |

2nd Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Pulled up about two months ago at Sandown, the venue for three of his last four wins; it's hard to be confident on this first run since but he fared respectably on his two other starts this season and has edged down to a handy mark; versatile ground-wise and not ruled out if bouncing back. |

4th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 99y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
10yo with a remarkable record in this race, winning it for the third time 12 months ago and narrowly beaten on two other occasions; 3lb higher than last year but he's well treated on old form and a third in the Desert Orchid at Kempton last time suggests he arrives here in good form; high on the list. |

21st Mar 2024 Soft 1m 7f 212y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
When a 23l third at Newbury (2m, soft) two starts ago he was behind two highly progressive rivals and he continues to drop down the weights, but positive performances have been scarce this season and he was tailed off at Sandown (1m7f, soft) last time. |
10/1 |

9th 10 |
15th Feb 2024 Soft 1m 7f 99y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Has won six times over fences but seems to have developed his own ideas about the game and looks a difficult ride these days; below form this term on both British starts on heavy; latest outing was his best show this season but he needs to better that. |

23rd Jan 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 92y Class 3 |

Has won six times over fences but seems to have developed his own ideas about the game and looks a difficult ride these days; in his current form others are way more appealing. |
