11st 8lb |
Two 2m4f handicap wins on good ground last season included one here; hasn't fired in quite the same manner this year (in cheekpieces the last twice) but likely to come good sooner or later off his reduced mark. |

0-7 over fences but ran big race in defeat at Wetherby (2m5f, good to soft) last month, after a break, and remains well handicapped on some of last season's form; likely contender. |

24th Sep 2024 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Point winner; didn't hang about over hurdles and has run well in all three chases over 2m4f, including here; finished his final race out strongly and stepping up to 3m should be just the ticket. |
13/2 |

3rd 2 |
19th Aug 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won Northern Irish point; lightly raced under rules; encouraging third on chasing/handicap debut at Warwick (2m4f, good) in May and produced a similar performance when third at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last month; has each-way claims at least. |
4/1 |

28th Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Very lightly raced 7yo who made a quite promising chase/handicap debut when third of five at Warwick (2m4f, good) in May; no surprise if he makes the necessary progress. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Triple hurdle winner and chase winner (2m4f), on good or slower; that chase win came readily on his penultimate start, at Southwell; unable to back that up after a 7lb rise and step up in grade at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good) latest; still well treated on his winning effort, if he can repeat it. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Bumper winner and has three wins over hurdles; got off the mark on the return to fences when a convincing winner at Southwell (2m4f, good) last month; up 7lb but looks sure to give another bold account. |

11st 3lb |
Made it 2-4 over fences when making all at Perth (2m4f, good) in July when last seen; won on testing ground over hurdles early in career; open to further improvement in this sphere and he's respected up 6lb. |

11st 12lb |
Hasn't had much racing and he came back from a spell pointing to win a four-runner hunter chase at this track in May; found life tougher back in handicap company when fourth of nine here (also 3m, good) the following month; this drop back in trip isn't an obvious plus. |
