30th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
No longer the force of old but returned from break with C&D (good) win off much reduced mark in June and subsequently ran well over fences here; still well handicapped over hurdles and seems versatile regarding ground; no surprise if he features. |
6/1 |

2nd 4 |
4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Capitalised on a reduced mark over hurdles here (2m1f, good) ten days ago when back from a break; he wasn't running well over fences towards the end of last year but he's a three-time chase winner who is able to run off the same mark as for that recent hurdle win, so is entitled to respect. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Nine-time winner over jumps, including over C&D last July; out of form over hurdles and fences afterwards but the booking of James King catches the eye and, having dropped to a career-low mark, this 11yo could be a player back from a break. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Three chase wins last season, the first two over C&D (good/good to soft); not beaten far when last of six at Cheltenham in April but remains on career-high mark for this reappearance run and takes on some unexposed rivals. |

17th Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 62y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Outclassed in a Listed race two runs back but admirably consistent otherwise and a 4lb rise for beating Ostrava Du Berlais at Warwick the last time (2m, good) is more than fair; strong claims. |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 25y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Four chase wins last season and he's well handicapped on his best form; however, he's struggled this term; cheekpieces go on. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 67y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Four chase wins last season and well handicapped on his best form; however, pulled up on first two runs this term and 200-1 when unseating early at Ludlow last month; plenty to prove. |

1st Jun 2025 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Signed off for the Pogson stable with victory in a two-runner claimer over C&D and then joined Max Young for £5,000; it was a good-quality handicap in which he struggled at Aintree and this is easier. |

22nd Dec 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Raced mainly at around 2m but returned to form with clearcut success when upped to 2m4f at Lingfield (good to soft) 11 days ago and is now 6-20 over fences; escapes a penalty here (due a 5lb rise) and ought to cope with the slower ground; obvious contender. |

1st 4 |
11th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Yard had good record with chasers here in recent years and won today's race in 2021 but this one rarely runs beyond 2m and well below his best in two runs this season; has stamina to prove on first 2m4f run. |
7/2 |

4th 5 |
27th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 212y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
10yo who is not easy to predict but he shaped as though he needed the run at Huntingdon on his recent return and he's 2-3 over C&D, including a win in this race (off 3lb higher) last year; looks interesting back at this track and he's in the mix for in-form yard. |

21st Mar 2024 Soft 1m 7f 212y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
When a 23l third at Newbury (2m, soft) two starts ago he was behind two highly progressive rivals and he continues to drop down the weights, but positive performances have been scarce this season and he was tailed off at Sandown (1m7f, soft) last time. |
10/1 |

9th 10 |
15th Feb 2024 Soft 1m 7f 99y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Has won six times over fences but seems to have developed his own ideas about the game and looks a difficult ride these days; below form this term on both British starts on heavy; latest outing was his best show this season but he needs to better that. |
25/1 |

3rd 3 |
23rd Jan 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 92y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Has won six times over fences but seems to have developed his own ideas about the game and looks a difficult ride these days; in his current form others are way more appealing. |

11st 10lb |
Had been struggling but bounced back for a fourth chase success at Lingfield two weeks ago (2m, soft; made most); wouldn't be certain to repeat that form but clear claims if he can off 5lb higher. |
