23rd Feb 2024 Soft 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
10yo who is having a substandard campaign, but last month's fifth at Plumpton was a step back in the right direction and he's well handicapped on last season's marathon chase form (including on soft); not ruled out. |

7th Jan 2024 Soft 3m 4f 102y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Well-held fifth in this last year off 2lb higher; ended that campaign well with two seconds over 3m4f and a blind eye could be turned to this season's no-shows for one reason or another (lost his action last time). |

24th Oct 2023 Good 2m 7f 25y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Won three in a row in early part of this season (2m7f-3m1f) and was set to finish second off today's mark before last-flight fall at Warwick (2m5f, good) this month; respected. |

5th Oct 2023 Good 2m 5f 0y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
In fine form in the summer and completed his hat-trick in 2m7f Worcester handicap hurdle; posted another solid effort off a 6lb higher mark when fourth at Stratford (3m2f) last time so he's shortlisted. |

3rd Aug 2023 Good 3m 2f 83y Class 3 |

Has his quirks but going great guns this summer and completed a hat-trick with a career-best effort at Worcester last month; has form on soft ground and no surprise if he proves up to this 6lb higher mark. |

21st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Won over C&D in December and by 16l at Newcastle (extended 2m4f) in February, both from the front on good to soft; disappointing in his two runs in between and again on latest start but he was brought out quickly under a penalty in the latter; visor replaces his usual cheekpieces. |

20th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 10y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won at Musselburgh (3m) in December and by 16l at Newcastle (extended 2m4f) last Thursday, both from the front on good to soft; disappointing in his two runs in between but he'd have a huge chance under this penalty if that form from last week (a narrow career best) is repeated. |

13th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |

Won over 3m at Musselburgh in December (good to soft); rather disappointing in his two runs since and needs to bounce back. |

16th Dec 2023 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 2 |

Formerly a very capable hurdler; has returned to fences the last twice and been well held, latterly behind Shirocco's Dream over C&D. |

29th Sep 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Fairly useful hurdler in her prime and went close in a C&D chase in 2021 but wasn't at her best last season and is not favoured by the weights on this first start for five months. |

9th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 86y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Bumper and dual hurdle winner; ran right up to his best when narrowly foiled in a 2m7f handicap hurdle at Worcester (good; won on soft) on his final appearance in May and he's bred to be a chaser; remains in same ownership despite changing yards. |
20/1 |

8th May 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Lightly raced 7yo who was placed on two of his three starts last season, more recently when third at Exeter (2m7f, good to soft) last month; will be favoured by the forecast rain and probably won't be far away. |

27th Oct 2022 Soft 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Bounced back to form with C&D win (good) in first-time visor in June and has made the frame on his last four appearances (twice over fences); fully effective on good to soft ground but soft may take the edge off him. |
