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. |

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. |

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. |

19th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 10y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Without a win since summer 2024 and not getting any younger but runner-up three consecutive times (2m7f-3m1f; once over fences) for new stable towards end of last season; probably won't be far away. |

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. |

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. |
