4th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 1 |
10st 3lb |
Very solid record (form figures 2211) switched to fences last season, with the wins gained at Lingfield (2m7f, heavy) and Sandown (3m, soft); another 4lb higher today but he has more to offer and should be capable of scoring off that mark before long, perhaps today. |

29th Apr 2023 Good 3m 4f 146y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Very solid record (form figures 2211) since switched to fences, the wins gained at Lingfield (2m7f, heavy) and this track (3m, soft; gamely); now 5lb out of weights in a better race and returns to forecast faster ground but his progressive profile is a selling point. |

8th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 125y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Two seconds and as many firsts since sent over fences and was ultra-game in fending off Feivel at Sandown (3m, soft), for which a 4lb rise is very fair; 12st asks a question of him but plenty to like otherwise. |

27th Jan 2024 Good 2m 7f 214y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Has won a couple of Class 3 chases, three-milers at Ludlow (good to soft) and Kempton (good); has shown that he can live with current mark but the depth of today's race demands a career best from him. |
22/1 |

3rd 3 |
13th Jan 2024 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Well suited by sharp/flat tracks, as his C&D win (on good ground) last May confirms; Cheltenham wasn't his thing in November and he duly bounced back at Ludlow (3m, soft; close second) last month; solid claims in another favourable scenario. |
9/2 |

2nd 2 |
20th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Dropped away after forcing the pace at Cheltenham a month ago when perhaps in need of the run; struck form in the spring, winning over C&D (good to soft) and following up at Kempton (good); 8lb higher than latterly but only a 7yo with just 11 runs behind him; considered. |

Winning hurdler who is 0-7 over fences and the best of those runs was the first; has been all over the shop trip-wise and cheekpieces did nothing for him last time. |

11st 2lb |
Has not kicked on from his promising chase debut fourth at Bangor (2m4f, good to soft) last October; however, 3m may have stretched him the last twice and he's not discounted off a reduced mark now back down in trip. |

2nd Dec 2023 Good 3m 2f 1y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Well handicapped on some of last season's form but had fortune on his side when winning at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in September and has been safely held twice since; should be fine over today's trip but needs to up his game; tongue-tie fitted. |

Made it 2-10 over fences when scoring at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in September but the clear leader fell two out in that race and this 7yo came up well short in his follow-up bid at Bangor last month; others preferred. |

3rd Jun 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Flopped at Ludlow last month and has something to prove on the back of that, but two starts ago he won at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) and he's also effective on good ground; not ruled out. |

9th May 2023 Good 3m 1f 125y Class 4 |

These aids seem to have helped and he was having just his second attempt at a staying trip when a convincing winner at Huntingdon last month (2m7f, good to soft; only three finished); should go on; Harry Cobden a rare booking for the yard. |

16th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
1-37 and still surprisingly error-prone despite so much chasing experience, leaving his mark on several fences en route to a 8l C&D fourth latest (good); frame finish probable but hard to predict better even off this career-low mark whilst the mistakes remain; cheekpieces return. |
7/1 |
|
4th 5 |
31st Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Extremely hard to win with, having won only one of his 34 races over fences and runner-up on 13 of those occasions; even if he jumps better than last time (beaten 18l), he'll probably find a way to come up short; a rare run without any form of headgear. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 5 |

Unreliable sort; jumped sketchily when a well-held fourth of seven in 3m Sedgefield handicap chase 16 days ago so others are much preferred. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 104y |
10st 11lb |
10yo won this last year off 126 (yielding); mixed bag this term, undergoing wind surgery after third start and good comeback run when second in 3m Kelso handicap in February; mistakes when pulled up in Topham at Aintree but remains of interest. |
12/1 |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 1 |
10st 4lb |
10yo who won this in 2023 (soft); he's had his ups and downs since but won at Punchestown (3m, yielding) last May and bumped into a well-handicapped novice when runner-up at Kelso (2m7f, heavy) last time, following wind surgery; could give a good account and be involved. |
25/1 |

2nd 2 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Uncharacteristically below par at Market Rasen four weeks ago; however, he's had a wind op since and two starts ago he ran pretty well when sixth in the Becher at Aintree (3m2f, soft); this is less competitive than that penultimate assignment and he won here in 2022 on his sole previous run here. |

3lb below his last winning mark but hasn't shown sufficient in two outings following more than a year out to persuade especially, notwithstanding a drop in class here; cheekpieces debuted last time are retained. |

22nd Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 141y Class 3 |

Very lightly raced in the last two years; pulled up on chase debut in October 2022 and below form back over hurdles when next seen late last month; tongue tied on last three starts and now also sports cheekpieces; won off this mark in April 2022 but it's hard to be that confident in a revival. |

8th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Two fair runs over fences this season (fourth over 2m4f on good to soft at Ayr last time); on a fair mark now and could go well. |

14th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Seen only twice again since winning handicap hurdle debut here (2m4f, good to soft) in November 2021 but bettered his very disappointing chase debut when second of four here (2m, heavy; no match for winner) last month and can make further progress over fences now back up in trip. |
