12st 0lb |
Has won three times over fences, the latest over 2m4f here in March last year (good to soft; visored first time); hasn't done quite as well since; stays 3m and on a good mark now. |

Won off today's mark at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft; first-time visor) towards end of last season but is yet to build upon his pleasing reappearance run in October and needs to up his game. |

Not totally solid on form this season, having failed to back up reappearance effort; however, has slipped back to last winning mark and may prove resurgent. |

29th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Point, bumper and maiden hurdle winner who ran well in two handicap chases here in 2024; however, this 10yo has been absent since being pulled up at Newbury that November and faces a very tough assignment on his return. |

30th Nov 2024 Good 2m 7f 91y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
0-8 over rules fences but knocking at the door for a while, finishing a highly creditable third at the Scottish National meeting at Ayr (3m, soft) in April and reappearing with a good second there (2m4f, good) four weeks ago; effective here and there's every chance he'll be thereabouts. |

11st 2lb |
Either or both the class 2 company and drop back to 3m compromised him in Uttoxeter's Summer Cup latest (blinkers debuted there retained); untried over today's even shorter trip since November 2023 and over hurdles for longer still, so hard to see how this assignment plays to many strengths. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Stays well, as his two performances over 3m4f at Haydock attest; finished well for second over 3m1f at Aintree (good) most recently; not crying out for this drop back to 3m but may be aided by new headgear; represents last year's winning yard. |
9/1 |

2nd 6 |
15th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 210y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Has had three wind operations and tends to go well when fresh, so might not improve markedly on his latest second at Haydock (3m4f, good) after 144 days away; still ran well though and assured stamina will come in handy. |

Dual winner over fences at Doncaster on good; yet to win over hurdles and this is his first run in this sphere since March 2023; possibly better for this race before a summer campaign over fences. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |

Regressive 10yo who ran no race last time at Southwell when behind Gone In Sixty; hard to trust these days. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Regressive 10yo who has poor completion rate over fences since returning from layoff in November; stopped the rot with fairly respectable hurdle run last month but needs to build on that performance here; swaps visor for refitted cheekpieces. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |

Has won three times over hurdles and three times over fences, but was disappointing back over hurdles with a visor (retained) instead of cheekpieces at Hexham last time (2m7f, good; 40-1). |

He's well handicapped on hurdle form as recent as last May. when second over 2m6f here, but he failed to shine on his last two runs in that sphere and was down the field on his chase debut at Newcastle three weeks ago. |

5th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 7f 138y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won off this mark over hurdles at Perth (3m, good to soft) last April; the first-time cheekpieces may help him jump better but that's very much necessary following sizeable defeats this season on his first two chase runs. |
