2nd Nov 2025 Good 3m 2f 19y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Got on a roll last winter when completing a hat-trick (3m/3m3f) before a respectable, albeit remote, second in the Eider at Newcastle (4m1f, good to soft); this race is a suitable fit but he now has to prove himself worthy of this high a mark. |

16th May 2025 Good 3m 0f 210y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
No longer the force of old and not always a fluent jumper but won two chases in November (2m7f/2m6f) and was runner-up in three small-field races towards end of last season; suited by good ground and will probably give another good account. |

11st 11lb |
Made mistakes when pulled up at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) in December last time and needs to bounce back; however, he's now 5lb lower than when second at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) in October and is not written off; also effective on soft ground. |

Won twice in small fields over 2m4f/2m6f last term and second at Market Rasen in October; however, he needs a lot better than was forthcoming on last two outings, back down to 2m5f from 3m for latest. |

11st 10lb |
Four good efforts from as many starts for current connections, though once again wasn't quite able to convert a winning opportunity at Huntingdon latest (3m1f, good to firm); fair claims off an unchanged mark, and ought to cope with any rain. |

Without a win since summer 2024 and not getting any younger but runner-up three consecutive times (2m7f-3m1f; once over fences) for new stable towards end of last season; probably won't be far away. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Won good-quality handicaps at Aintree (2m5f) and Cheltenham (3m2f) towards end of 2024; not at best in 2025 but he shaped as if retaining ability; missed the Grimthorpe at Doncaster in February due to soft ground; drying conditions should help and, back to his last winning mark, he's a possible. |

11th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |

The writing was on the wall very early when pulled up at Musselburgh latest and it's hard to be confident on the back of that; however, this 7yo has enjoyed a progressive season otherwise, completing a hat-trick with his win here (3m2f, good to soft) in December before solid third at Wincanton (3m2f, good to soft); can make bold bid if bouncing back. |

10st 6lb |
Two out of five when switched to fences last season, highly fortunate at Plumpton (3m2f, soft) for the second win but he did shape as if he could be an out-and-out stayer; allied to a good first-time-out record, that makes him interesting for today's reappearance. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Very useful staying hurdler who has won six of his 13 races, two of them last season, at Haydock in December (3m, good to soft) and at Warwick in March (3m2f, good to soft); not so good last time but these conditions suit and he could bounce back. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |

Back in good form this winter, including on last two starts (good to soft) when he prevailed narrowly over C&D in December and battled back for a clearcut win at Warwick (3m2f; from Porter In the Park) four weeks ago; raised another 4lb but the return to a sharper test is more of a worry. |

A thorough stayer who has won over fences; back in good form over hurdles following a break and seemed to do just enough when prevailing narrowly at Haydock (3m, good to soft); every chance off this 5lb higher mark. |

Runner-up off a reduced mark at Huntingdon (2m7f, good; first-time blinkers) last April and didn't run badly at Stratford (2m5f, heavy; no blinkers) on next start in October; now back from another absence and he's not as good as he was. |
