10th May 2025 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Just did enough to pip My Bobby Dazzler in this race last year (good ground; wore cheekpieces) and returned to form with front-running success in first-time visor at Newbury (3m, good to soft) in March; safely held, though, in Cheltenham race won by Long Draw in April and remains on career-high mark. |

11st 1lb |
It was the middle leg of a hat-trick when beating Harbour Lake in this 12 months ago and the first-time visor triggered a return to form at Newbury last time (3m, good to soft; made all); has to be considered off 4lb higher. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Jumped well when winning his second chase start at Warwick in September (3m, good to soft) and was reportedly struck into next time at Chepstow, which was a hot novice handicap; retains plenty of potential. |
8/1 |

11th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Sound jumping was a feature in his recent 3m win at Warwick (second chase start; good to soft); up 8lb in a race that will take appreciably more winning but with fitness on his side he's hard to dismiss. |

24th Sep 2024 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Likes Market Rasen and he kept digging (after getting outpaced) to be close up on his chase debut there last month (3m, good); ran well here over hurdles and, off an untouched mark from last time, he should be in the thick of it. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
He hasn't always been pretty over his fences but the cheekpieces might be helping in that respect and he's stayed on strongly at Haydock on his last two starts, over 3m1f and 3m4f; although behind some of these last time, he was digging in at the finish and this extreme stamina test might be up his street; very at home on soft ground. |
12/1 |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 1 |
10st 5lb |
He's had jumping issues but was better in that department in first-time cheekpieces (retained) in the Tommy Whittle here (extended 3m1f, soft) in December, and the way he kept on for fifth of 12 behind Grand Geste (beaten about 14l) hints this step up in trip may be a good move; each-way chance. |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
No match for the winner at Southwell but that was over hurdles and after 363 days off; won his only previous chase by 3l at Market Rasen 13 months ago (3m, good to soft) when in first-time cheekpieces; he does have something to prove on soft ground. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Point/bumper winner who won on chase debut at Market Rasen last February (3m, good to soft; cheekpieces on for first time); hasn't run since; harshly treated for that win as now 11lb higher over fences and 6lb higher over hurdles.; bit to prove as a hurdler. |
5/2 |

4th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
No surprise to see him sent chasing as he offered little in three runs over hurdles and, not only does he have a pointing background, but there are chasers in the family; commands respect on this handicap debut with cheekpieces added. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Landed his fourth win over fences, at Market Rasen (3m, good) last month but below his best at Fontwell since; is the type to bounce back and he should get the trip (has won over 3m2f). |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Progressive 7yo who has form figures of 1221141 over fences since September; only two completed when he scored at Market Rasen (3m, good) 19 days ago but he still looks on a workable mark and his first chase win was over C&D; strongly respected. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
In excellent form on good ground in the autumn, winning three times over fences (3m1f-3m2f); well behind Dangerous Touch when reappearing in four-runner race at Huntingdon last month but might have needed that outing and his usual cheekpieces are refitted here. |

12lb lower when winning over fences in February but has posted three good runs on the bounce now, the last two over hurdles (2m, good to soft); sure to be involved if holding his form. |

Soft ground 2m chase winner in February, when 12lb lower; went close in that discipline (2m3f, heavy) on his penultimate start and also when back over hurdles at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft) latest; up 5lb; respected. |
