18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Six of his nine wins have come at Market Rasen including over C&D; only 1lb higher than for his win at Wetherby in March but he's been vulnerable in three runs since and needs to rediscover his spark. |
10/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Admirable Market Rasen specialist (six wins there); won over 3m at Wetherby (good; from 2lb lower) in March, but hasn't been at his best since; uncharacteristically laboured (never travelling) when remote third latest; bit to prove. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Six-time course winner; not the force of old and has become inconsistent but looked in good nick when scoring at Wetherby (3m, good) in March, and last month's C&D third was perfectly respectable. |

C&D winner off a 3lb higher mark 13 months ago; had a wind op in April and she has finished second on three occasions since; should run her race but others may prove better treated. |

21st Dec 2022 Good 3m 2f 57y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Ended last season with two creditable efforts in marathon chases and he returned from another break with a respectable fourth at Exeter (3m6f, good to soft) 19 days ago; takes a big drop back in trip but his last win came over 2m7f here in February and he could be dangerous. |
9/2 |

4th 9 |
2nd Dec 2022 Good To Soft 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Ended last season with two creditable efforts in marathon chases but he's not been at his best over hurdles and fences in his two runs this term; mark is sliding but he's still 3lb higher than for his chase win and has an overall record of 3-36; others preferred. |

31st Oct 2022 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Finished runner-up in two staying handicaps (good) during the summer but those were small-field events and he was pulled up at Worcester last month; hurdle record now stands at 1-10 and he needs to bounce back near his best; tongue-tie added. |

25th Oct 2022 Good 2m 7f 7y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
They were tiny fields in which he was twice runner-up during the summer and now has to bounce back from two quiet runs; tongue-tie could be a notable addition. |

Suddenly bounced back to form with 66-1 win off much reduced mark at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) in April but was pulled up over that C&D the following month and now has it all to prove again; cheekpieces replaced blinkers. |
