Course winner; last three wins were over 2m4f at Newcastle in 2023/4; sound run when fourth at Haydock last time (2m3f, good to soft); now 2lb lower and interesting with cheekpieces tried. |

9th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Chase form includes a good effort off 4lb higher in the Southern National at Fontwell (3m3f, good) on seasonal debut; two poor efforts since but could revive in new headgear; four-time hurdles winner. |

13th Jan 2025 Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Front-runner who won twice over hurdles at this track (2m5f, soft/heavy) early last year; despite mistakes, he returned with a good second back over fences at Fontwell (3m3f, good), but then had another off-day back over hurdles a month ago; not entirely sure what to expect from him. |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Won two small-field chases (3m1f/2m7f) about two years ago but was pulled up last month, after a long absence, and might need another run or two before he's of interest again. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
On the up when last seen out in the spring of 2024, bagging a pair of handicap chases (around 3m) at Catterick and Newcastle; has a 23-month absence to overcome here but yard is among the winners so he's no forlorn hope. |

Three-time hurdle winner; came good over fences with C&D (good to soft) success in May (three runs ago) and remains on a workable mark but has become too inconsistent to rely upon. |

C&D and 2m4f course winner on slow ground; has shown on his last three starts that he is competitive on this mark; each-way player. |

15th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Has rediscovered some form on last two outings, more recently when clear second at Hexham (2m, heavy) last month, and remains well handicapped on past exploits but some of the others appeal more all the same. |
