2nd Apr 2024 Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Has made excellent progress for Kerry Lee and Nigel Twiston-Davies over the last year, winning four times (twice here); predictably found Grade 2 mares' chase too hot at last month's Cheltenham Festival but has her sights lowered today and could still have further improvement to come. |

11st 2lb |
Made the running for all four chase wins, at about 3m1f on ground ranging from good to soft; no match for Carole's Pass at Exeter recently and her most recent runs at about this trip, which are very infrequent anyway, give her lots to find. |

26th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Bettered poor seasonal debut when third over C&D (good to soft; 8l behind Anytrixwilldo) in refitted blinkers in January, but he ought to have been suited by the heavy ground when pulled up at Ffos Las on Friday and has become far too unreliable. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Has become well handicapped and finally completed again when a 12l third at Ludlow (3m, good to soft); could build on that with yard having winners again. |
4/1 |

3rd 4 |
15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
No better for the 279-day break when registering yet another pulling up last month, despite having his preferred 3m on slow ground; 9lb below his one British winning mark now but hard to warm to; blinkers return. |

12th Nov 2024 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Thorough stayer with nine wins on his CV; not an easy one to predict nowadays and failed to build upon his encouraging seasonal debut when never dangerous at Chepstow last month but has his headgear switched today and is too well handicapped to rule out. |

11th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Veteran with nine wins to his name and, with cheekpieces back on, he ran well for a long way at Warwick 17 days ago (good to soft); that was encouraging after a lengthy break but he's no certainty to be as good again. |

1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Bounced back from disappointing stable debut when second in first-time cheekpieces at Southwell (3m, good to soft) in December but was quickly back in the doldrums on next outing and has become hard to predict. |

Completing the course has not come easily since he won a handicap chase at Newbury in March 2023 and has been very flat over hurdles this season; has a good bit to prove. |

Has gained all chase wins at Ludlow, the most recent in late 2023; dismal form since, including at that venue; not the percentage call. |
