13th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 4f 10y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Made mistakes when pulled up at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) in December last time and needs to bounce back; however, he's now 5lb lower than when second at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) in October and is not written off; also effective on soft ground. |

18th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Won twice in small fields over 2m4f/2m6f last term and second at Market Rasen in October; however, he needs a lot better than was forthcoming on last two outings, back down to 2m5f from 3m for latest. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 104y |
11st 3lb |
Better chaser than hurdler, third win coming in 3m Kempton handicap in January (good); better again when second in better-class contest over same C&D following month, disappointingly never counted in Ultima at Cheltenham latest; possibly best going right-handed so could go well here, especially if ground continues to dry out. |
12/1 |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
Won at Kempton (3m, good) in January and good second in competitive handicap there (3m, good to soft) last month; could give another good account but he didn't quite stay when fifth here (extended 3m2f, good to soft) in December and it's possible he'll again prove vulnerable up the hill. |
33/1 |

2nd 5 |
21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Closely matched with Deep Cave on their Bangor clash in November (soft) and, back at 3m from 3m2f, he dug deep for a course win last month (good); only went up 1lb for that and the runner-up ran well in defeat last weekend at Ascot. |

19th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Second win over fences when keeping on well to beat 12 rivals in a 2m4f Cheltenham handicap for mares in December (good to soft) and appeared to lose her concentration when unseating mid-race at Windsor; that raises some alarms as it appeared she tried to run out, but the ability is there to be competitive. |

17th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 4f 42y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
2-8 over fences, with the wins over about 2m4f in a first-time visor last February and returning cheekpieces (first headgear this term) five weeks ago; 22-1 for the latter in what seemed a warm race at Cheltenham but she did it in clearcut fashion; big player on that but 5lb higher today and it might be argued that she is less potent in second-time headgear. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Safely held in last two chases but beat Secret Trix by 4l to score at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) on latest hurdling start in June and is now only 2lb above that mark; also suited by this track; can make his presence felt. |
7/1 |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
All three chase wins have been over C&D, including in this equivalent race in 2023; equally effective over hurdles with three wins, the most recent at Uttoxeter (3m, good) last month; last of five finishers when back over fences at Cartmel (3m1f, good) last time but cannot be dismissed around here. |
12/1 |

26th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
All good since joining Stuart Edmonds and deserved his 2m7f win over hurdles at Uttoxeter (by 4l; good); up 4lb for this return to fences but he's a three-time winner in this discipline. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 82y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
10yo with a record of 3-30; has patchy profile and was tailed off at Warwick last month but he finished a close second at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) on his penultimate run; looks interesting on that form and first-time cheekpieces could give him a lift. |
13/2 |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Similar type to Thankyourluckystar, being a 10yo who finished second at Southwell (2m4f) last time but seems unlikely to go one better in this field, against opponents who are mostly less exposed. |
14/1 |

19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Currently in a consistent vein of form, having posted form figures of 2212 in last four appearances; ran creditably when bidding for Fontwell double (2m5f) last time; solid chance. |
