prominent, weakened before 2 out, jockey looked down to see if something was amiss run-in, soon pulled up |

12th Sep 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
His breakthrough win at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good to soft) had been coming but he ran a modest latest race here when well behind Karavomylos and has to bounce back from that. |
6/1 |

22nd Aug 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Runner-up in two of his first three handicaps before winning one at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good to soft) on latest outing, about to be challenged by Broomfields Cave when that rival fell at the last; up 5lb whereas Broomfields Cave has gone up 4lb; firmly in the mix. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Now only 1lb higher than when winning at Huntingdon (3m1f, good to soft; also suited by good) in November but has become inconsistent and was pulled up on latest outing seven weeks ago; not easy to predict. |
8/1 |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
5-27 over hurdles, the latest win gained at Huntingdon (extended 3m1f, good to soft; 2lb higher today) in November; has a shout on that showing but there have been backward steps in his two starts since. |
5/1 |

15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
5-26 over hurdles, the latest win gained at Huntingdon (3m1f, good to soft) in November; not in same form when third of four at Fakenham (2m7f, good to soft) last month and may not have much margin for error off current mark but still enters calculations. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Veteran who is on a losing run but ran well enough for a long way in a Class 2 handicap at Chepstow two months ago (2m7f, good to soft) to command respect at this lower level; goes well on this ground. |
6/1 |

11th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won twice over C&D in 2023-24 season and ran well when fourth over C&D in February but this 12yo is far too inconsistent to rely upon nowadays, and has been absent since two heavy defeats in the spring. |
20/1 |

24th Apr 2025 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 3 |

Veteran who has proved far from consistent since winning a Pertemps qualifier at Chepstow 14 months ago; not the percentage call. |

in touch with leaders, not fluent 4 out, soon lost ground, rallied and headway before 2 out, pushed along when joined leader last, soon led, ridden and kept on run-in |

28th Jun 2024 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Pulled up in his final two runs last year but he got back on track with fourth of ten on reappearance at Warwick (3m, good) last month; was only beaten around 5l in that race and has claims if he can build on that; cheekpieces reapplied. |
8/1 |

30th May 2024 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Triple chase winner at up to 3m, all on good; well below par in all three starts since finishing a close third at Stratford last October; sliding in the handicap and now drops in grade, so can't rule out a revival. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Five-time hurdle winner but not since February 2023; hinted at possible return to form when third at Carlisle (3m1f, good) in April but didn't build on that performance last time; not the percentage call. |
25/1 |

3rd May 2025 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
On long losing run but she showed signs of a revival when third of six at Carlisle (3m1f, good) last month; 4lb out of the weights this time but she could get involved if she can build on that last run. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 54y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Chasing record reads 3-6 following this month's 5l defeat of Loup De Maulde at Wincanton (3m1f, good; RPR 128), and although taking him to a new career-high mark the 4lb rise for that doesn't look an overreaction; no track or going issues, and case looks solid once more. |
13/8 |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Made it 2-4 over fences when landing a C&D handicap (good to soft) on Boxing Day; flopped at Doncaster (pulled up) last time but that was in the Grimthorpe and he could resume his progress on this drop back in grade; needs a close look. |
7/2 |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 1y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Both chase wins have come in small fields over similar trips to this; he's a strong stayer who might have more to give after only four runs over fences, so commands respect on that alone despite this rise in class. |
10/1 |
