30th Jan 2025 Heavy 3m 1f 30y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Beaten 11l by Mr Glass in a point before coming on to win this race 12 months ago on good to soft; will need to run better than he did after a break in his latest point but he goes on heavy ground and has to rate a player; the cheekpieces are new. |

3rd May 2024 Good 3m 2f 70y Class 4 |
12st 4lb |
An 18-1 winner of a 3m1f hunter chase on this card 12 months ago; returned here in March on the back of good runs but reportedly found the ground too testing when pulled up, as was Premier Magic; a greater concern would be his subsequent defeat on good at Flete Park; certainly a player if bringing his 'A' game. |

20th Feb 2024 Heavy 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Has always had lots of class and won a good 2m4f Newbury handicap in April 2022 before a lengthy spell on the sidelines; not as good as he was judged on his reappearance defeat on hunter chase debut at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) but still ran well; handled heavy ground earlier in his career. |

1st Feb 2024 Good To Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 5 |

Chase career has been decidedly up and down but he's always had lots of class and won a good 2m4f Newbury handicap when last seen in April 2022; pulled up in both his previous races at about 3m but those were strong handicaps; interesting to see what the market makes of him after so long out. |

11st 9lb |
Returned from mammoth absence with easy win in selling hurdle for new stable in November and good fourth in Newbury handicap chase (2m4f, good to soft) the following month; not at same level when third in two hunter chases this year, though, and will need to up his game a bit. |

11st 4lb |
Close third in this 12 months ago and similar form again over C&D the following month; on a steady decline subsequently and latest third in a small field at Fontwell was unconvincing; cheekpieces replaced by a visor. |

Five-time chase winner; in very good form when placed in two amateur riders' races at Cheltenham (3m1f, good/soft) last autumn but has lost his way this year and arrives here with quite a bit to prove. |

Fairly useful hurdler/chaser when trained by Dan Skelton; won a point last year and it was a useful hunter chase in which he was beaten only 11l at Taunton recently; may need more here but not dismissed. |
