19th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won five consecutive chases on good ground in 2022 but lightly raced and inconsistent since; respectable second at Wincanton (1m7f, good) in April, after a break, but looked out of sorts at Fontwell last month and it's hard to know what to expect from him here. |

26th May 2024 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Completed a five-timer in 2022 including two wins here (2m2f, good); second of five at Wincanton (2m, good) five weeks ago on his return from seven months off, but was beaten 10l by the winner; stays this far and 3lb below his last winning mark, but probably needs to find a bit more. |

19th Jul 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Better chaser than hurdler and forgiven latest heavy defeat in a strong handicap; his last hurdle run was four starts back when beaten a neck at Wincanton (2m5f, good); could run well, though some stamina reservations over quite this far. |
13/2 |

28th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Chase record is 9-35, the most recent win in veterans' event at Fakenham (3m, good) on penultimate start; consistent sort but faces a stiffer task off current mark in this valuable and competitive affair; similar type to Hold Your Fort. |
20/1 |

3rd 2 |
27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Admirable veteran who recorded his ninth chase win when making all to score from 2lb out of the weights at Fakenham (3m, good) this month; this is tougher off 4lb higher but he seems as good as ever as an 11yo and three of his wins have come at this track; key player. |

Completing has become a challenge in itself and he runs in his first cross-country chase from 45lb out of the weights. |

Falling in the weights after some dispiriting runs and much depends on what effect further wind surgery might have; couldn't be ignored. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 110y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Goes well here, gaining fourth course success with a narrow verdict in March (2m3f, soft); beaten 8l behind L'Empire Vert off this 4lb higher mark on his return visit but he was held up in a race that favoured those ridden handier; good chance. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |

Prevailed from a solid rival in similar event over C&D (soft) last time, taking Ffos Las record to 4-15; should remain competitive despite going back up 4lb. |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Gained three of his five chase wins here; must bounce back from a poor performance (over hurdles) in January but was placed here on first two starts this season (2m4f hurdle/2m chase) and has been given a chance by the handicapper. |

0-15 over hurdles and most compelling form came over 2m in 2019 and 2020; hard to warm to, having not lasted out upped to 3m latest. |

27th Apr 2023 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Chase winner in September 2021 but she's 0-14 as a hurdler; on reduced mark but she was a well-held sixth of seven at Hereford (2m5f, good) in February and it is not hard to have reservations after another break. |
