11st 2lb |
His second win over fences when a clearcut winner at Warwick (3m, good) but only fourth here next time and behind Galloping Pride; did make a bad mistake four out that day which didn't help. |

11st 13lb |
Didn't take to fences and was having his second start back over hurdles when winning by 7l at Plumpton (3m1f, good) a fortnight ago; wouldn't have won by so far had his nearest pursuer not fallen two out and he is now 7lb higher, but still high on the list based on that performance. |

10th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 4f 85y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Ended last season in excellent form, completing a hat-trick with clearcut success at Exeter (3m6f, heavy), but made nothing better than a satisfactory reappearance in October and was pulled up in Welsh Grand National on only subsequent appearance; still on a fairly tough mark and needs to get back in the groove. |

27th Dec 2024 Soft 3m 6f 130y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Ended last season in excellent form on heavy ground in blinkers, winning twice over 3m1f at Wincanton before drawing 6l clear over an extended 3m6f at Exeter; should have come on markedly since October reappearance and this is only his second run over a marathon trip; could have more to offer, though seemingly the deeper the ground the better it is for him. |

18th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Maiden with very modest form, but this lightly raced 6yo was a fair third at Sedgefield (2m3f, soft) last Wednesday and is not discounted. |
8/1 |

7th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 3f 65y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Unplaced all six starts under rules, the last twice over fences; only beaten about 15l when seventh at Ludlow (2m4f, soft) in December and effectively 7lb lower today; needs to improve but trainer has good strike-rate here (21%) and the booking of Brian Hughes is a plus. |

30th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Runner-up at Southwell last April but a long way below that level on his three runs since and this 11yo's sole win came back in November 2023. |
20/1 |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Very inconsistent 10yo who sometimes races lazily and is never easy to predict; comes here fresh and on career-low mark but has presumably been overlooked by Sean Bowen today and cannot be supported with much confidence; versatile ground-wise. |
10/1 |

7th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
3lb out of the weights; kept on for second at Southwell three weeks ago (3m, good) but this 10yo is hard to predict. |
6/1 |
Verdict
Pilot Show ended last season with a good effort but it might be worth chancing SANDY BROOK, who makes his chasing debut after a long absence but is now 10lb lower than when running pretty well on his handicap hurdle debut, and can hopefully make up for lost time.[Chris Wilson]
