Safely held on all three starts since returning from mammoth absence for new yard in February; perhaps ran better than bare form suggests on last two occasions but will need to see this race out much more strongly. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |

Good-ground winner off 6lb lower last season and mostly running well this campaign over hurdles and fences; latest run in a handicap chase needs forgiving but couldn't rule out. |

16th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Stuck to her task pretty well at Cartmel (2m5f, good) last month and has now finished second on two of her last three starts but the forecast rain is probably not helpful here; tongue-tie left off today. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Didn't really fire at Stratford last month and now 0-4 over fences but that run came just one week after a pretty good second there (2m3f, good to firm) and she's had a longer break this time; a possible. |

10st 6lb |
0-15 under rules; started off for Gary Hanmer with two seconds over fences during the winter but ran poorly when tried in cheekpieces (now removed) last time and it's hard to know what to expect from him on this return to hurdling. |

25th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Chased home progressive rival on stable debut at Warwick (2m, soft) in December and kept on from a long way off the pace for another second at Catterick (1m7f, good) last month; held before last-fence fall on latest outing (2m4f) and 3lb wrong here, but still makes some appeal now dropped back in trip and with first-time cheekpieces fitted. |

24th Feb 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Winner of his only point back in 2018 but things never fell right for him over fences for previous yard; up against it behind progressive winners in two starts for new connections (stewards enquired latest, explanation noted) but is in shallower waters here; is open to improvement. |

21st Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Tailed off at Southwell last time which was too bad to be true as does have form there; he's won twice here and ran well over C&D in December behind one who scored impressively last week; considered under Oisin Murphy. |

Won at Southwell (2m4f, good) in November and also successful on AW in January; unseated early when an 8-1 chance for his return to hurdling at Statford (Supreme Yeats runner-up in that race). |

May not be straightforward but was given nicely judged ride by Dylan Whelan to win at Southwell (2m, good) on Monday and is now 2-5 for Ben Pauling; still has fairly low mileage; respected under penalty. |

3rd Jul 2023 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Came good under rules with hurdle win on stable debut in April (well backed) and looked sure to win Worcester chase (2m, good) the following month, only to capitulate on the run-in; still in contention when falling three out at Market Rasen last time; likely to play a major role. |

Hurdle winner on stable debut in April (well backed); not so good next time but looked sure to win on chasing debut at Worcester two weeks ago, only to fold after the final fence; has the ability to win this but clearly not be trusted implicitly for now. |

Certainly didn't run badly when fourth on eight on handicap debut at Fakenham (2m, soft) last month but was beaten about 22l in the end and others have more pressing claims here. |

3rd Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |

Won over C&D and at Perth (2m4f) on good ground in summer 2023, and returned from long absence with good third at Leicester (1m7f, good to soft) in November (had wind op afterwards); there's a slight concern that today's conditions might be slower than he prefers but, nevertheless, he helps to give Olly Murphy a strong hand in this race. |

10st 8lb |
Ran big race in defeat over fences at Warwick (2m, good) in April, after a layoff, and his subsequent fifth over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, good) certainly wasn't a bad effort; recent 4lb drop seems generous; one to consider. |

Dual chase winner who returned from an absence with a close, front-running second over fences at Worcester (2m, good) last month; 0-8 over hurdles but that last run was off 7lb higher and he's an interesting contender back in this sphere. |
