11st 2lb |
C&D scorer off 2lb lower in June 2022 (good); nearly as long as he last raced over hurdles, and possible this rates a confidence fillip after his jumping let him down over fences back here last time. |

Has disappointed on both appearances this year but he won two 2m1f chases last summer and is not yet fully exposed over fences; had wind operation since last seen and there's nothing wrong with his mark. |

Dual chase winner on good ground in summer 2022 (once over C&D); struggled to cope with heavy ground when returning from long absence over hurdles in March then fell heavily in recent Ffos Las chase won by Boston Joe; current ability hard to gauge. |

Alighted upon a moderate class 3 at Stratford in June (2m1f, good) and only 1lb higher tonight; record of 1132222124 around here, but poor jumping display over C&D latest needs a little bit of forgiving. |

Returned from long absence with two heavy defeats for new stable this summer but last month's fourth at Cartmel (2m5f, soft; first-time tongue-tie) was more encouraging; she needs to build on that performance here but has the services of Brian Hughes again. |

raced wide, towards rear, not fluent 2nd, steady headway going easily and prominent before 8th, ridden and outpaced after 3 out, weakened before 2 out (trainer could offer no explanation for the poor form shown; vet reported that a post-race examination failed to reveal any abnormalities) |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
No win over hurdles since July 2021, and was a remote last of eight in this last year; solid record over fences here - four wins at 3m - which does at least offer some hope, even if he has struggled for form (P84) in his last three starts; might need this off a 232-day absence. |

24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Four-time C&D winner (good-heavy), including this race in 2023; has questions to answer after disappointing on last two appearances but was second on consecutive C&D starts in June/July and can't be ruled out. |
10/1 |

8th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Very disappointing last time at Uttoxeter but was runner-up over C&D in his two previous starts and he's bidding for a hat-trick in this race; nothing wrong with his mark if back on song. |
