4th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 3 |
12st 2lb |
Well beaten all five starts last season, the last three times in valuable chases for new stable since February; plummeting down the weights and will appreciate this ease in grade but needs a revival. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Seemingly nothing like the force of old; not proven beyond 3m either, with heavy defeats on his only two attempts at 3m1f or 3m2f; the former was on latest start when beaten 46l at 150-1 in the Ultima at Cheltenham and all this season's form suggests he will be a big outsider again. |

8th Nov 2024 Good 3m 0f 54y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Very useful handicapper on good ground but he's 1-17 over fences and fluffed some very winnable opportunities last season in hunter chases; ran okay in a C&D handicap last month but he's rarely the percentage call and now tries a visor. |

22nd Apr 2024 Soft 3m 1f 60y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Useful chaser at best but he's been inconsistent since his last win and was tailed off at Kempton (3m, soft) in his last run in February; mark is falling but he's in the veteran stage now and others are more convincing. |

Fairly useful but has shown inconsistent form since last win and sometimes jumps left, including when modest fourth at Ascot 11 weeks ago; opposed kept to right-handed course. |

12st 0lb |
Running well in the 2023 Grand National when he unseated at the 21st; confined to only four runs in the meantime and he'll need to find plenty on his recent hunter chase exploits (narrowly beaten by Captain Tommy last time). |

18th Mar 2023 Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
Improved in a big way this season and would have been on a four-timer had he not tipped up with the race in safe-keeping at Ffos Las (3m, soft) two starts back; showed no ill effects when winning as he liked at Newcastle and it's hard to grumble with the 11lb hike; will be entering new territory trip-wise a long way from home (unraced beyond 3m) but lots to like otherwise. |

31st Jan 2023 Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Progressive 8yo who scored at Wetherby (3m, heavy) on seasonal debut in November and looked sure to follow up before last-fence fall at Ffos Las (3m, soft) last month; has to take a 7lb rise on the chin but might still be improving; major player. |

4th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 3m 1f 125y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Shaped well on seasonal debut at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) in October and was very respectable fifth at Cheltenham (3m1f, good) later that month; didn't fire when back at Cheltenham 18 days ago but this race is less competitive and he's on a good mark. |

16th Nov 2024 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Won this in 2021 and he hasn't run badly on his two starts this autumn, latest when 14l fifth of 18 over C&D (good); however, he needs a bigger performance today if he's to snap an 11-race losing sequence. |

Ended last year in poor form and he struggled again on his return at Cheltenham (3m4f, good) last month; mark continues to fall but he's now 1-15 over fences and needs to get back on track. |

17th Apr 2024 Good To Soft 3m 4f 21y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Ended last year in poor form on soft/heavy ground but the drier conditions ought to suit him better here and he won't fail through lack of stamina; can be very dangerous off current mark if refreshed by 130-day break. |
