19th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 5f 122y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Front-runner who posted some good efforts over hurdles and fences for Neil King in second half of last year, including a second in this race; makes debut for Ben Pauling after eight-month break but will be a danger to all off current mark if fully tuned up. |

17th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 89y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Front-runner; looked a non-stayer over 3m at Doncaster last month but his close second there (2m3f, good) two starts ago was a good effort and he'll be fine on this right-handed track; no surprise if he give this a good shot. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Back to form to win his second race over hurdles when scoring over C&D in first-time cheekpieces (retained) last time; up 5lb; quite interesting on that form. |

26th Jul 2026 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
1-4 over hurdles in 2022-23 and he's since been 1-12 over fences; peak form came in 2m chases early in 2025 and there have been a couple of significant absences since; the backward steps on last two chase starts, however, prompt some caution on this return to hurdling in first-time cheekpieces. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Gained a first chasing success at Doncaster (2m) last February; infrequently raced since and he came in a well-held fourth of five in 2m5f Fakenham handicap 31 days ago; needs to take a big step forward. |

6th May 2024 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Sole hurdles win was in a Stratford novice (2m, good) in October 2022 and he's been beaten around 16l in his two chase runs; mark continues to fall and is still early days in this sphere but he needs improvement back from a break; cheekpieces added. |

13th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Without a win since 2021 but has made the frame on all four starts this season, most notably when second at Sedgefield (2m3f, soft) two runs ago; continues to slip down the weights and has possibilities if the first-time cheekpieces give him a boost. |

18th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Four wins divided between hurdles and fences; has raced mostly at about 2m but seemed to stay Sedgefield's extended 2m3f (soft) when runner-up three weeks ago; drops into a Class 5 here and must have a chance. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Three-time C&D winner, including this race last year (good ground); probably won't be favoured by any rain but didn't run badly in Class 2 event at Worcester (2m4f, good to soft) in September on latest outing and is sure to be suited by the return to this track; high on the list. |

2nd Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
The first of his two chase wins (from 19 attempts) was over C&D in 2022 and he was runner-up back here on reappearance this term; ran respectably at Southwell last time and should figure prominently in this field. |

Bit of a mixed bag since winning off 11lb higher here (2m, good to soft) in March last year, his second of eight at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) on his return last month (has a good record fresh) surrounded by lesser efforts; others are more convincing. |

16th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 14y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Best of the rest behind Conquer The Breeze at Perth (2m, good) in July; he's better than he showed back at Perth last month but this 10yo is hard to win with and takes on two rivals who have been in excellent form. |
13/2 |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Infrequent winner (2-40); has plied his trade exclusively over fences since May 2024, lacking for fluency when runner-up to Conquer The Breeze here (2m) last month; monitor only, with Lets Mingle the pick of the Russell & Scudamore trio. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |

Fairly treated on some of his form but was very disappointing when dropped into a Class 4 here last time and his previous run was no better. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Fairly treated and some fair efforts at 2m4f/2m5f before struggling back over 2m in a Class 2; that's readily forgiven and he'll probably run well. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Campaigned over longer trips since September but effective at 2m previously; currently in a consistent vein of form and looks attractively treated, having scored twice off current mark last year; landed this contest in 2024 to boot and holds a fighting chance. |
