Unseated early last time at Perth; it was an ordinary handicap by Class 2 standards that he won at Worcester (2m4f, good) the time before but that was all very straightforward as he jumped well out in front; could catch some of these cold from a fitness perspective. |

11st 7lb |
Looked a hard ride when runner-up on her return to fences at Cartmel (2m5f, good) but travelled better when winning comfortably on the step up to 3m1f at Warwick (good; 5lb lower); unexposed as a stayer. |

23rd Sep 2025 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Useful hurdler/chaser when on song; returned to fences at Cartmel (2m5f, good) and did well to go down narrowly as she never moved with any purpose in that race; the ability is there to threaten again off her current mark; unraced over quite this far but it's worth a go. |

Won narrowly over hurdles at Aintree (2m4f, good; 7lb lower) and followed up back chasing at Worcester when left clear two out; wouldn't have been helped by so many flights being omitted when third of eight on return to hurdling last time; in good form. |

Well beaten over hurdles latest and had previously refused in a Cartmel chase so current wellbeing a doubt; on a good mark on the pick of last year's form but Tom Bellamy, who usually rides him, jumps ship. |

Well beaten when refusing in a Cartmel chase in May, on his return from six months off; much lower mark for this first hurdle start since March 2021 but probably best watched for now. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Made it 3-11 over hurdles when scoring at Warwick (2m5f, good) in May but he's been vulnerable as favourite in last two starts; drops back in grade after a respectable fifth at Worcester (beaten around 6l) two weeks ago but he needs to find more progress back in trip. |

5th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
3-10 over hurdles (2m-2m5f, good); improving 6yo who made a good start for this stable when a close fifth at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) in April and duly built on that when justifying favouritism at Warwick (2m5f) the following month, both times ridden by Megan Bevan; drop back to 2m shouldn't be too much of an issue and he's a big player off 4lb higher. |

11st 10lb |
Gained two of her six wins over C&D (all were on good ground); returned from break with two good efforts in Class 2 events this summer, the latter on slower-than-ideal ground over C&D last month, and looks the one to beat in this easier race. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Gained two of her six wins over C&D (all were on good ground); returned from break with good third (just behind My Chiquita) at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month and is still on a workable mark (even from 1lb out of the weights) but the forecast rain is a worry. |

Veteran with modest strike-rate in recent years; only beaten about 1l when fourth of seven here (2m1f, good) last month, after a break, and remains on a good mark but younger rivals appeal more all the same. |

Seven-time hurdle winner; produced his best effort last season when narrowly denied at Exeter (2m2f, good) in October, but was well beaten next time and was pulled up in November on his final start; returns from 224 days off with something to prove. |

Chase and four-time hurdle winner (1m7f-2m5f) for this yard whom he has rejoined after two runs for Tom Gretton; well handicapped on old form but last success was 19 months ago and he's lost his way in last four runs. |

9st 2lb |
Veteran who hasn't won since 2023 but he's been in fair form on AW this spring including when fourth on Polytrack (2m) in his last two starts; should be in the mix again but he needs to find more to make a big impact; cheekpieces are removed and blinkers return. |
