5th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Started this season brightly, notably when second to Kandoo Kid in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury (3m2f, good to soft); he'd have a good shout judged on that display and going beyond 3m2f made plenty of appeal even before that; however, he disappointed at Cheltenham on New Year's Day and ran badly there last month; cheekpieces (tried at this meeting last year, tailed off) return. |

11th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
11st 12lb |
Didn't jump fluently when below par here on New Year's Day; however, he's reportedly had his knees medicated since and two starts ago was a fine second in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury (3m2f, good to soft); two wins here (3m/3m2f) during last season's novice campaign; in the mix if back on song. |

9th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Pulled up on final start last season and the same story on both this term, tried in cheekpieces on latest; 13lb below his career-high mark and reverts to hurdling (from chasing) for the first time since April 2023. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
11yo who has a poor strike-rate and isn't the force of old but, following a wind op, he returned to form with a clear, close second in a first-time visor (retained) at Ayr (2m4f, soft) a fortnight ago; also effective on good to soft; in the mix if backing up that latest run, despite 6lb rise. |

2nd 9 |
6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Useful in his prime but has been out of form since returning from long absence for new stable in the autumn; needs combination of wind surgery and first-time visor to prompt a revival. |
20/1 |

29th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Veteran who has tumbled down the weights but his last win was in 2020 and he's been well held in three runs for new yard this winter; has something to prove and he needs a transformation with cheekpieces added |

16th Dec 2023 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Formerly a very capable hurdler; has returned to fences the last twice and been well held, latterly behind Shirocco's Dream over C&D. |

midfield, outpaced 11th, detached after 4 out, no impression from 3 out |

29th Sep 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Fairly useful hurdler in her prime and went close in a C&D chase in 2021 but wasn't at her best last season and is not favoured by the weights on this first start for five months. |

11th Apr 2024 Heavy 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Only an 8yo but his rating has capitulated during the last two years and his recent form is nowhere near good enough for a test of this magnitude. |

19th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Grade 2 hurdle winner in 2020 and bits of form in better races than this in recent times; out of sorts in the autumn but he might well have pegged back Forest Chimes at Stratford (2m5f, heavy) last week with a better jump at the last; this stiffer test can suit; can go well. |
