2lb lower than when runner-up on good ground at Warwick (3m2f) and Worcester (2m7f) in the summer, but not at his best since including when sixth of 11 behind The Wise Traveller at Plumpton (3m1f, good) six weeks ago; more needed. |

Runner-up at Stratford in July (3m2f, good) but remains a maiden and he soon capitulated after a mistake three out at Fontwell a month ago; blinkers go on for cheekpieces. |

Beaten in six handicaps from 2m3f to 3m and latest 10l defeat here is the closest he's been; not without hope if he can find something on that off an ever-reducing mark. |

C&D winner for Gary Hanmer in summer 2023 and placed for Rebecca Menzies last year; not at best for new stable this spring but wasn't beaten far on either occasion and returns to this track on a tempting mark. |

3-34 overall, with last win in July 2023; third over 3m2f on two of four starts for Rebecca Menzies last May-July and not disgraced 13 days ago for new yard after 265-day absence; others are a bit more persuasive, though. |

Well handicapped on some of last year's placed form over fences and ran well to a point over hurdles last month (first-time blinkers) but it's over two years since her only win and others appeal more. |

16th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
All the fences up the home straight were omitted when he narrowly made all in a first-time tongue-tie over 3m here in May (good); found wanting back here a month ago but could still go well if back on song. |

14th Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Gamely made all to open account over C&D (good; first-time tongue-tie) six weeks ago, his third start over fences; might improve again but several fences were omitted in that rather unsatisfactory race, and he'll have something to prove if the ground is slower than good today. |

0-10 under rules; tailed off on chase debut but that was over 2m3f and upped to 3m1f at Hereford he ran well from the front; good chance off an untouched mark; now tongue tied. |

Arrested his decline when placed at Bangor (2m3f, good) in September and will be fine over today's longer trip but his recent Kempton run was underwhelming and others in this field have much more appealing profiles. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Unplaced all nine hurdling starts; gave fairly good account before weakening into fourth of seven over C&D (good) in March but is effectively 9lb higher from out of the weights today; gained his point win on soft to heavy ground. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Didn't run badly when fourth over hurdles at Stratford last July and he's now 9lb lower; this 10yo is now 0-12 under rules having struggled on his three starts since but those were over fences; not ruled out. |
9/1 |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Record of 1-7 in points and he's 0-11 under rules; still unexposed over regulations fences but he struggled back in this sphere in two runs at Worcester (2m7f, good) in the autumn; has lots to prove after four months off and he's well into the veteran stage. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |

Has lost her way badly since her win/place form over fences last summer; cheekpieces tried last time are swiftly removed; couldn't trust. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |

2m1f chase winner at Stratford a year ago but has largely struggled to reproduce that level, including after wind surgery; continues to ease in the weights and cheekpieces are enlisted, but others arrive with much more persuasive credentials. |
