11st 6lb |
Did his winning for Evan Williams in batches, latterly when notching a hat-trick the winter before last; on a fair mark back from a short break but needs a revival after a few poor efforts in recent times. |

4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 65y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Enjoyed very good campaign last season with three wins (two over fences); he's on a handy mark on that form but has been well beaten in fourth on both outings this term; needs to turn things around. |

10st 11lb |
Off since April but in was in the zone back then having delivered seasonal form figures of 111222; the latest near miss was over C&D and he's only 2lb higher for this; hard to dismiss. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
All four chase wins have come over shorter distances but this far is worth a go; ran quite well after a break at Fontwell and when beaten 27l into second here last time he was going well when clouting four out. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Has four wins over fences, including over C&D; encouraging fourth at Fontwell (2m3f, good) on his return last month following a five-month break but he's 2lb higher than his last winning mark. |

10st 9lb |
Dual chase winner last November but he's lost his way over fences and hurdles since the turn of the year; on a good mark if the first-time visor has a positive effect. |

3rd 4 |
19th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Four wins (a hurdle and three chases) from first seven starts for this stable last year; yet to recapture that form since returning from a break in February but his fourth over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) in April was a big step back in the right direction and today's much quicker ground should also suit. |
5/1 |

6th Apr 2024 Heavy 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Has won four handicaps since last July - three chases (one here) and a hurdle race; needs to bounce back from two quiet runs over fences but there's nothing wrong with his mark over hurdles; stable won this last year. |

10st 13lb |
All four wins have been gained at this track and latest was over C&D (soft) in January; that was off 2b higher but he's not come close to that form since and was a well-held third of four at Fontwell on his recent return after another wind op; has bit to prove and he needs a major revival. |
