6th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
Won two 2m4f handicaps for Ben Pauling last year, the second a two-runner event at Warwick; bit to prove after being pulled up on hunter chase debut at Ludlow in March (2m4f, good), including stamina. |

30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
It was a match he won at Warwick in October (2m4f handicap, good) but that took his strike-rate to 9-30 over fences; remains in the same colours despite leaving Ben Pauling; should give his running on hunter chase debut. |

1st Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Strike-rate of 8-29 over fences and also runner-up in five of those; not as good as he was but still very capable off this mark; Bangor last time was a backward step, mind. |

25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Good-ground specialist who was useful in his prime for Chris Down; without a win since 2022, though, and recent point form for David Dennis is not inspiring (refused to race on latest appearance). |
16/1 |

21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Winless since summer 2022 but he's generally reliable and often placed, though he has to be forgiven a lesser effort at Worcester (2m4f, good) last time; not the force of old, but he's handicapped accordingly and capable of bouncing back. |

9th Dec 2022 Good 2m 3f 88y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Creditable fourth off 1lb lower over fences at Uttoxeter (2m6f, good) in September but finished last of three at Fontwell next time and he didn't get very far over the National fences at Aintree last month; back in calmer waters on this return to hurdling but he's not run in this sphere since last May and others are more convincing; first-time cheekpieces. |
10/1 |

5th Nov 2022 Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Creditable fourth at Uttoxeter two starts ago but has a patchy record this year and was well beaten at Fontwell last time; 4lb out of the handicap in this hot race and first-time blinkers need to make a difference. |

Potentially well handicapped but had been hunter chasing before pulling up on his return to handicaps at Market Rasen. |

6th Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
C&D winner last summer off 4lb higher and ran to a fair level when runner-up in a hunter chase in May; likely to run well. |

28th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
12st 8lb |
Won this last season on soft ground; this year's two non-completions came over a trip too short and over the National fences at Aintree; got back on track with a respectable fourth at Ludlow; should go well. |

9th Dec 2022 Good 2m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Tough sort who won four handicaps at around 2m5f (good) between May-July but he's generally struggled since last success and was a remote last of three at Leicester last time; takes a big drop back in grade but he's never won over this far and others are preferred. |
14/1 |

3rd 4 |
27th Nov 2022 Good To Firm 2m 4f 25y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Tough sort having scored four times during a very busy 2022 (has raced 23 times this year); however, has proved far from consistent since the last success; receives plenty of weight from his rivals, having dropped to a handy mark, but not sure what to expect. |
20/1 |

10th Jun 2023 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Five chase wins but lost his way over fences last summer; back from nine months off when second to Balranald over C&D three weeks ago and should finish closer to that rival on these terms; yet to win a hurdle, however. |
