Three-time chase winner, most recently when holding on well at Fontwell (3m2f, good) in May; bumped into a massive improver when well-held second at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good; first-time binkers) this month; ought to be on the premises again here. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |

Went close over C&D in May but has become rather unreliable and latest third here was quite remote; still needs respecting in this bad a race. |

7th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Stayed on from the rear to go close off today's mark over C&D (good) in May but has poor strike-rate in recent years and is unreliable nowadays; chance probably depends upon what mood he's in. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |

Veteran who was beaten just a neck when last seen at Fontwell (3m2f, good) in May, but he isn't very consistent and has a moderate strike-rate; others preferred. |

Proved he retains a modicum of ability when 40-1 third here (3m2f, good to soft) in May but was pulled up on all three subsequent appearances; 3lb wrong today; too risky. |

Maiden; runner-up four times in 2021-22 but not in same form since; not beaten too far at Fontwell this month but still limited appeal. |
14/1 |

4th 10 |
10th May 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Badly out of form over fences last season; hinted at possible upturn in fortunes when running well for a long way over hurdles in March but still has a lot more to prove than some of these, and is 5lb wrong. |

Threatened to win over fences on a few occasions last season but in poor form this term, most recently when switched back to hurdling 19 days ago; 5lb wrong here; very difficult to enthuse over at present. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
None too consistent but he has won five times over fences, latest at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) in February off 3lb lower; beaten a neck back there off this mark last month and his best chance of further success is perhaps back at that venue. |
9/2 |

5th 7 |
31st Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |

None too consistent but he has won five times over fences and nearly made that six last time at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft); he's handicapped about right but needs considering. |

2nd 3 |
9th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |

Five-time chase winner, most recently over C&D (soft) last month; remote when third at Huntingdon eight days ago and not one to rely upon nowadays but he's still on a good mark if in the right mood. |

Old-timer who is not easy to predict these days but he got back in the groove with a front-running win here (3m3f, heavy) in January; 6lb higher back on quicker ground but he jumped well last time and remains well treated on his old form; shortlisted. |

28th May 2023 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Apart from his third at Huntingdon in January, he has been most disappointing in the last 18 months, showing little enthusiasm; pulled up over C&D latest (hampered) but perhaps Jamie Moore can inspire him. |
12/1 |

10th May 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Raced with a lot more enthusiasm than has become the norm when third at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) in January but was quickly back in the doldrums at Plumpton the following month and it's hard to predict the extent to which this regressive 9yo will warm to the task here. |
12/1 |

16th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Third over C&D in January on penultimate start but that's some way below his best form and far and away the best he's achieved this season; having a 17lb lower mark than this time last year helps somewhat and his stable has had lots of recent winners. |

10th May 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |

High-mileage 11yo who has looked out of sorts and been pulled up on all three starts this year; urgently needs to prove he still has what it takes; 2lb out of the weights. |

22nd Mar 2023 Good To Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |

13yo with a 1-36 strike-rate under rules; no show ten days ago after a 267-day break but he stepped up dramatically on second run last winter and might have a place chance. |
