13th Mar 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won twice over fences last summer, but held on his return to the Flat after 193 days off here (1m4f) 11 days ago; may have needed it, but still has enough to prove. |

2nd Mar 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Useful jumper who won 2m handicap chases at Worcester and Newton Abbot last summer; well beaten in an AW Flat handicap at the start of 2023 but he was quite useful in this sphere at the start of his career, including an AW novice win; possible he'll be using this a prep for a return to jumps but betting perhaps the best guide to expectations. |

2nd Sep 2023 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Took a while to open his account over fences but has bagged two four-runner chases this summer, latterly over C&D (good) 11 days ago despite almost refusing to race and giving the others a big headstart; not without risk, but a 1lb rise ought to be manageable if he gets away on terms today. |

5th Oct 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Quirky customer who tends to idle when in front and had almost stopped to a walk before holding on to win three-runner chase at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last month; remains on a workable mark, though, and can make his presence felt; has had wind surgery since last time. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Runs off a mark 10lb lower than when fifth of 14 in this last year, beaten just over 13l; he's run a couple of reasonable races this season but hasn't shown enough to suggest he's the one to be on today. |
33/1 |

3rd 5 |
21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Led close home to win this race off 5lb higher a year ago (soft ground) and was seemingly perked up by cheekpieces when third on both outings last month; made up considerable ground from the rear at Sandown (1m7f, soft) on latter occasion and has strong claims here if the headgear continues to aid him. |
15/8 |

3rd 9 |
31st Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 99y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Acts on any ground; half-length second off 4lb higher in this contest 12 months ago; out of sorts this term until posting a resurgent effort, behind solid rivals, in first-time cheekpieces at Windsor most recently; enters calculations in the retained headgear. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Three-time point winner; 12l third to Keel Strand in C&D novice last month (good) and enjoys a huge weights turnaround with that rival now back in a handicap; however, the winner has improved again since whereas this 9yo is now 0-13 under rules and could be vulnerable once more. |

Triple point winner on a sound surface; placed three times at up to 2m5f over hurdles, including C&D; needs significant improvement to win this. |
