22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Not the force of old and has failed to complete in his last two starts but this is a drop back in grade and he went close at Catterick (3m1f, good) in November; looks interesting on that form and he made all when winning this race last year. |
9/1 |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Not the force of old and his second at Catterick (3m1f, good) in November came in a two-horse race; followed that with a poor run in a veterans' chase at Doncaster; others appeal more. |

Won three times last year (3m/2m7f, good to soft/good) and finished close up on final two outings in the autumn; in the mix if returning from a break in similarly good form. |

16th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Placed on both previous C&D starts, including when beaten under 1l by On The Platform in this race (good to soft; headed last); out of sorts this year, however, and needs a positive response to wind surgery. |

27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Case can be made on pick of his form over hurdles and fences but it's been miserable stuff in three handicap chases since returning from 485 days off; all headgear removed this time. |

11th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Made a winning debut over fences when scoring off this mark over C&D (good; first-time cheekpieces) in April 2024; some solid efforts followed later that year but both starts since coming back from an absence have been uninspiring; hopes are pinned on his return to this venue and first-time blinkers. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 5f 27y |

Record of 1-21 over hurdles but some decent efforts in defeat recently; the best of three chase efforts came when a 10l third in a Bangor handicap last year; needs more. |

20th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 3f 0y |

Has hit the frame the last twice in 3m handicaps at Roscommon (gd-yld) and Perth (good); handles soft but this trip may be on the sharp side; due to run 4.26 Downpatrick on Friday. |

20th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 10y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Disappointing since he won twice over hurdles from markedly higher marks in spring 2021; seventh of 17 at Doncaster latest start was easily the most positive of his three runs this winter, however; needs to build on that, with blinkers replacing his recent cheekpieces. |

10st 11lb |
Won in a refitted visor at Lingfield (2m6f) in November and runner-up on next three outings, which represents career-best form; still on a fair mark and drying ground won't bother him at all. |

Two-time course winner, the latest here (2m6f, soft) last February, and got back on the scoresheet at Lingfield (2m6f, good) in November; runner-up on both starts since (2m6f, good to soft; here last time); solid candidate. |

16th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
10yo who has been pulled up the last twice but he ran well for a fair way over hurdles last time following a break, over a 3m trip that probably stretches him; now 2lb lower than when runner-up over fences at Cartmel last June and he's not written off. |

It's now 13 starts since his last success and he was tried in blinkers when pulled up in 2m5f Cartmel handicap chase in August; others appeal more. |

Progressive 9yo who returned from a break with small-field win at Warwick (3m1f, good) in April and also ran well when second to a course specialist at Market Rasen (3m, good) last month; significant rain will dent his appeal here but otherwise he may still have more improvement to come. |
