23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Easily the most experienced over fences, and a 2m4f win here (good) off 17lb higher rounded off a spring 2024 hat-trick; no successes since, however, and it's a push to say this step up to 3m has long been needed. |

7th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won three chases in a row (2m-2m4f, good-soft) in spring 2024 but generally disappointing since; beaten out of sight when 20-1 at Newton Abbot 17 days ago; revival needed. |

21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Completed chase hat-trick in spring 2024 but generally disappointing since; May's second of three at Ludlow (2m4f, good) was encouraging but she's been soundly beaten since and was weak in the market when an early casualty over C&D last month; easy to look elsewhere. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Bold-jumping front-runner with seven wins from 18 starts over fences; ideally served by further than 2m but won over this trip at Chepstow (good to soft) in April; ran well again when runner-up at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) last month and will be the one to catch. |
5/1 |

2nd 4 |
7th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Took form to another new level when winning by 10l from the front at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) last month and is now 7-17 over fences (includes course win); today's trip-and-ground combination will also suit; respected. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Record of 5-12 for current yard; campaigned mostly at longer trips but the way he shaped over a sharp 2m2f last time (ran well on return from break) suggests this galloping 2m may not be a problem; in the mix. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Six-time chase winner whose form dipped in May/June and he fared little better over hurdles three weeks ago; should be sharper for that now back over fences but needs to find some spark. |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Six-time chase winner (once here); competes off lower mark on this rare hurdling start but was not firing on all cylinders when last seen in the spring and needs to have been refreshed by three-month break. |

27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Has often run well in handicap hurdles, including over C&D on heavy, but below best this winter despite falling in the weights and he didn't put up much of a show last time out; first-time cheekpieces on. |

7th Jun 2024 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Placed at Exeter (2m1f, good) in April on his second start over fences but he's struggled in both runs since; now drops back in trip but overall record stands at 0-13 and others are preferred; tongue-tie added. |

16th May 2024 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Placed in a bumper and also over fences, the latter coming at Exeter (2m1f, good; first-time blinkers) on his penultimate start; weakened quickly when pulled up at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft) latest; return to further could help him be more competitive. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
1-1 over C&D and won twice over 2m at Catterick (soft/good) earlier in year; well held despite making the frame in his last two starts and needs a bit more from this mark. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Four chase wins, making all in two small fields at Catterick (1m7f, good/soft) last season; remains in good form and he's better over shorter than the 2m4f he ran over here last time. |
