As good as ever last summer, winning twice over 2m4f (good to soft/soft); has won over 3m2f in the past (hurdling) but has performed poorly on either side of a break and he's knocking on now. |

21st Dec 2023 Soft 2m 5f 137y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Triple hurdle winner who has won over fences; however, he looks stuck in a rut right now in both disciplines and now has another change of headgear (has won in cheekpieces). |

16th Nov 2023 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Triple hurdle winner who won over fences at Exeter (3m, good) last November but he's lost his way since and was pulled up at Huntingdon last month; now 2lb lower than for his chase win but he needs to turn things around; reapplied visor replaces cheekpieces. |

17th Oct 2023 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Three-time hurdle winner who won a 3m chase at Exeter (good) last November; soon went downhill afterwards (twice hurdling this summer) and now has questions to answer. |

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. |

18-race maiden; tailed off here (2m5f, good) on seasonal debut in November and not seen again since; not the obvious answer. |

Two chasing wins, the latest at Newton Abbot in June; satisfactory efforts after until ground too soft when tailed off at Uttoxeter last month; conditions more in her favour now but she's more exposed than some. |
