Lost his way last season but his Fontwell return was a lot more like it (behind two of these); could build on that run which came after 211 days off. |

12st 1lb |
0-6 in bumpers/hurdles but he's won two of his six starts over fences and was a creditable third at Southwell (3m, good to soft) 24 days ago; still has potential in this sphere and he's respected for in-form yard; wore cheekpieces last time and visor now goes on. |

14th Apr 2024 Good 3m 1f 152y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Lightly raced 7yo who came on a bundle for his first run in 11 months to win with a bit in hand over this far on good ground at Hereford three months ago; has never raced on soft so subsequent three-month break might be put down to him waiting for his ground and, although 12lb higher for this, he may well have more to offer (2-4 over fences). |

Thorough stayer with nine wins on his CV; not an easy one to predict nowadays and failed to build upon his encouraging seasonal debut when never dangerous at Chepstow last month but has his headgear switched today and is too well handicapped to rule out. |

Veteran with nine wins to his name and, with cheekpieces back on, he ran well for a long way at Warwick 17 days ago (good to soft); that was encouraging after a lengthy break but he's no certainty to be as good again. |

14th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Has C&D form and he won two in a row at Wincanton (2m4f on good to soft; 3m1f on heavy) last midwinter; mixed results since but back on his latest winning mark and adding cheekpieces could help; ought to go well. |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |

Won two in a row at Wincanton (2m4f/3m1f) last winter and latest was off 1lb lower on heavy ground; looks interesting on that form but he's been up and down since and was pulled up here on Boxing Day; needs to bounce back again after that and he comes with risks attached. |

Last season started well before he lost his way; however, he does seem best when fresh and was returning from 153 days off when going close at Stratford in October (2m6f, good); over this more suitable trip, after a break, he has to be of interest. |
