25th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Multiple chase winner with plenty of form here, including a runner-up finish in first-time blinkers last week over 2m4f (good); has won over this far. |
7/4 |

2nd 1 |
19th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Five chase wins, including 2023 edition of this race; pulled up at Fakenham two starts ago but his other three runs this year were very respectable; swaps usual cheekpieces for first-time blinkers; likely to give this a good shot from the front. |
3/1 |

3rd 6 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
A win and (in this race) a half-length second, each off 2lb lower, to show from two C&D visits (good) last summer; plenty in his favour again once more, though a Fakenham flop latest needs forgiving. |

22nd Aug 2024 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-11 under rules; kept on well for second over fences at Fakenham (3m, good) in April and didn't run badly on soft ground last month, but makes only limited appeal on this return to hurdling; 1lb wrong; tongue-tie added. |

6th 10 |
17th Jul 2024 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Fell on his first two attempts over fences, but had the race at his mercy at Newton Abbot (3m2f, soft; from 3lb higher) on the second occasion; has failed to sparkle since - usually labouring in rear - although there was a glimmer of spark at Fakenham over Easter. |
11/2 |

2nd 6 |
1st Apr 2024 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Unlucky not to open his account at Newton Abbot (3m2f, soft) just under a year ago and ran well when fourth at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) on Boxing Day, after a layoff, but was struggling from fairly early stage at Chepstow in January and can't be supported with any confidence after that. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won off a lowly mark at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft) in summer 2024, but his form this spring was not particularly inspiring and he's 8lb out of the weights on this first appearance in five months. |

25th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft) last summer and ended last season with two fairly respectable runs, latterly when sixth in C&D race won by Millies Mite one month ago, but is out of the weights again today. |

25th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Gained three of his four chasing wins here and seems very versatile regarding trips but ended last season with two disappointing efforts and needs to be perked up by a change of headgear today. |

11th Apr 2025 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Four wins and two seconds from 11 races at Fontwell; his last success was off this mark over an extended 2m3f in September but he's been well held in all three runs since and needs a major revival; stablemate of All Authorized. |

Bumper, hurdle and chase winner at up to 2m5f, on good or slower; 6lb lower than his last win but has come close to that form only once in four starts since a lengthy layoff; blinkers go on. |
