Progressive over fences last season when winning here and over 3m6f elsewhere; the glaring concern is his laboured reappearance a month ago over 3m2f at Chepstow, where he has form. |

0-7 over hurdles and the same over fences but he's been a consistent sort for Tom Gretton, including a big run from out of the handicap in the Sussex National at Plumpton (3m4f, soft) last time; tongue tied on last two outings; needs each-way respect on this debut for new yard. |

11st 12lb |
Stays 3m1f; has become inconsistent over fences and hurdles but ran encouragingly, clear second, in new headgear at Ffos Las (2m4f, heavy) most recently; still well treated on peak form; possibilities in the retained visor. |

Inconsistent over fences last season and absent since a down-the-field hurdle run in March; resumes on a workable mark but he's 1-10 in this sphere and is probably not the percentage call; equipment reapplied. |

10st 5lb |
Defied a similar mark in good fashion at Exeter 13 months ago (3m, good to soft; only four runs back); ran well for a long way on reappearance but was tired when pulled up again on heavy ground at Exeter 17 days ago; under these less demanding conditions she should go well if as good as she was. |

1st Jan 2024 Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Very well handicapped on some of last year's placed form but returned from break with three below-par runs in the autumn and needs to turn a corner; won a heavy-ground hurdle in France in 2021 but may be best suited by good ground. |

Runner-up four times over fences at up to 2m5f during the spring/summer but below par in a hurdle race/chase at Wincanton since returning from a break; up in trip; others have less to prove. |

20th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Won by 9l over C&D (soft) in December, matching his gutsy win in this race last year (heavy) as a career best; one problem is that both of those were off 6lb lower than today; another is that he showed little in the Surrey National last time, but he needs plenty of respect back here. |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 4f 178y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Showed career-best form when winning by 9l at Exeter (3m6f, soft) last month and is now 6-15 over fences; should be fine on this left-handed track but recent 7lb rise asks quite a lot of him. |
7/1 |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Won three in a row once the cheekpieces were added early last year and he was better than ever last season, winning the Devon National (3m6f) on latest start; only 1lb higher today but this is a big drop back in trip and he's raced on only soft or heavy going for the last two years. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Easily defied a 7lb rise for his Exeter win when strolling clear at Ascot (2m5f, good), albeit in a race that completely fell apart in behind; unlikely that this will be so straightforward off 8lb higher but arrives with his tail up. |
13/8 |

29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 13y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Consistent 10yo; he beat only two other finishers at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft; fine on good) and his pursuers appeared to underperform; however, the 7lb rise shouldn't be too damaging given he's performed well off similar figures in the past; solid contender. |

Veteran who was out of sorts when last seen in the summer but he went close over 3m2f here (good) in the spring and that was off 1lb higher; hard to rule out in suitable conditions after a break and his last win was after an absence. |

10st 13lb |
Last won in the North Wales National at Bangor (extended 3m5f, heavy) in February 2024 with first-time cheekpieces; best effort this term was back in November (four races since) but he's down the weights, back chasing and some headgear returns after two hurdles races without; yard going well too. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |

Won the North Wales National in 2024 but nothing over either obstacle since; best efforts this term both recorded on slow ground here, albeit his C&D third last time owed most to the rider's perseverance. |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |

Thorough stayer who is 1-16 over fences since his last hurdle race in March 2023; the win came over 3m5f in first-time cheekpieces in February 2024 but headgear is removed today; has easily the lowest mark of his career but he's inconsistent and hard to rely on; yard also runs Sparkling Duke. |
