22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Experienced chaser with a good strike rate (9-48 and placed on 20 other occasions); returned from a winter break not far off his best recent form when 1l second at Ffos Las (2m3f, good) last month; up 2lb but should again be thereabouts. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Gained five of his nine chase wins at this track (2m/2m3f) but absent since below-par run in October and still on a fairly tough mark. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Multiple winner but went up 6lb for beating four rivals at Fontwell (2m3f, good) and was only fourth off this mark next time, though merely 2l behind the winner; could be vulnerable again. |

9th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Once useful for Nigel Twiston-Davies but his long losing run has continued for current yard and ran no more than okay in the first-time visor at Kelso 17 days ago; others appeal more. |

22nd Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Useful over several seasons when trained by Nigel Twiston-Davies; signed off for him with some below-par runs in the autumn and made low-key start for new stable this year but significant positives can be drawn from his run in refitted cheekpieces at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) last month and he has possibilities here if combination of drop back in trip and first-time visor pays dividends. |

14th Nov 2024 Good To Firm 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Ten chase wins since last seen over hurdles in 2020, the latest when digging deep at regular haunt Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in August; below-form fourth of five at Wincanton last time but still looks the main threat to Tuxedo Junction. |

Regained the winning thread at Stratford (3m3f) last time; remains well treated on historical data, such as his success off this mark in this race two years ago; shortlisted. |

Winning chaser for Nicky Henderson; remains a capable pointer but at these weights he's held by Bennys King and Autonomous Cloud on their Leicester clash in February. |

11st 12lb |
Useful handicapper in his prime and collected three points for new stable last season; returned from layoff with very respectable second of three in a point this month but faces a tough assignment here and would probably prefer better ground. |
