1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 3m 3f 119y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Solid record at about 3m and improved for the step up to 3m5f when winning Fakenham's Norfolk National (good; effective on soft) by more than 5l after travelling strongly throughout; effectively 13lb higher now as he's gone up 6lb and they claimed 7lb last time, so that asks a question of him. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Bounced back to form and won soft-ground marathons at Banger (3m5f) and Hexham (4m) in February/March; pulled up (lame) in early stages at Plumpton last time but has made the frame in the last two editions of this race (both on good ground) and can make his presence felt again. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 104y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Exploited a reduced mark to win at Bangor (3m5f, soft) in February and again had plenty in hand at Hexham (4m, soft) 12 days ago; this is a hotter race than last time and this 10yo is up 10lb, but he's clearly in rude health and could be bang there once more; handles any ground. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 7f 199y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Exploited a reduced mark to win readily at Bangor (extended 3m5f, soft) four weeks ago; on last season's evidence a 9lb rise is unlikely to stop him if he can back up that latest performance; high on the list. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
On the downgrade now and returned from a break with 37l defeat behind My Girl Katie at Newton Abbot last month; might well have needed that outing and has conditions to suit here but others appeal more all the same; wears blinkers and cheekpieces simultaneously for the first time. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Five-time chase winner (once over C&D); returned to form with a string of good efforts in the autumn but absent since pulled up in Fakenham marathon just before Christmas and entitled to benefit from this outing. |

22nd Dec 2024 Good To Soft 3m 5f 24y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Close second in C&D (good) Norfolk National in early part of last season and was a 3m course winner (good to soft) last November; needed considerable help from the handicapper before last month's Warwick success (3m1f, good) but has been placed twice since and the return to this track is an obvious plus; cheekpieces removed after one use; big player. |

Three-time chase winner; fourth of 16 at Cheltenham (3m4f, good) before a bad blunder had her on the back foot at Fakenham in the Norfolk National won by Trincomalee; was only 8-1 for that and she could easily bounce back. |

4th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 3m 1f 125y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Shaped well on seasonal debut at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) in October and was very respectable fifth at Cheltenham (3m1f, good) later that month; didn't fire when back at Cheltenham 18 days ago but this race is less competitive and he's on a good mark. |

16th Nov 2024 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Won this in 2021 and he hasn't run badly on his two starts this autumn, latest when 14l fifth of 18 over C&D (good); however, he needs a bigger performance today if he's to snap an 11-race losing sequence. |

Scored over C&D (good to soft) in 2022 and was placed in Norfolk National over C&D (good) in May; disappointed on both appearances last month but returns here on a good mark and is sure to appreciate the ease in grade. |
