13th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Lost his way last season but his Fontwell return was a lot more like it (behind two of these); could build on that run which came after 211 days off. |

Won twice at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) last March but returned from a break with two very disappointing runs there in December (cheekpieces added last time) and arrives here with quite a bit to prove. |

Of interest on his form in the second half of 2022, including a 2m7f win at Worcester; may have needed last month's return from five months off; claims. |

10th Nov 2022 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
His second of 12 at Leicester (2m4f, good) in January gives him a chance but not his three other efforts over fences, all of which were most disappointing. |

15th Feb 2023 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Well beaten over hurdles last month but had proved consistent in chases before that; Stratford winner in October, off just 1lb lower; ground to make up with Lightonthewing on their Exeter running six weeks ago but ought to be involved if he stays this trip. |
9/2 |

6th 10 |
16th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 5f 163y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Has shown consistent form over fences since last March, including a Stratford win (2m6f, good); scored over this C&D (good to soft) on last attempt over hurdles; now only 2lb higher; not dismissed. |
5/1 |

4th 5 |
1st Jan 2023 Soft 2m 3f 48y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Came good over fences with hard-fought success on seasonal debut at Stratford (2m6f, good) in October; not quite in same form when beaten favourite at Taunton the following month but ought to cope with today's slower ground and has less to prove than some. |

28th Dec 2022 Heavy 2m 4f 110y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Chase winner on very soft in France but out of luck for this yard in Britain despite the major drop in his handicap mark; down in class but his latest defeat came in a modest grade. |
12/1 |

21st Dec 2022 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Won a 2m1f chase on testing ground in France in 2021; beaten too far in his eight British starts (five over hurdles, the three over fences) to be recommended at the moment but he is way down the weights. |
20/1 |

6th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Won slow-ground chase in France last autumn (2m1f) but yet to be placed after seven British starts; not written off just yet but is 5lb out of the weights here and needs to turn a corner. |

25th Nov 2023 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
0-7 over hurdles as opposed to 3-12 in chases, and he hasn't been at his best over fences on his last three starts; however, he ran well for a fair way at Sedgefield (3m3f) last month in a race he won last year, and that was his first start since May; has a lower hurdle mark and is not discounted. |

12th Oct 2023 Good To Firm 2m 3f 48y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Last win was in May 2022 off a 9lb higher mark; no worthwhile form in his six subsequent appearances and does have a lot to prove right now. |

24th May 2023 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Stayed on well to win this race by 12l off a 9lb higher mark a year ago but was out of form on his three appearances in the autumn, and it's hard to say anything positive about last month's reappearance run (albeit the ground was softer than he prefers); needs a good boost from the first-time cheekpieces. |

16th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |

Won at Warwick (3m1f, good) last May; 4lb lower today but that's because he's been right out of form since. |

7th Jan 2023 Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
His narrow defeat at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in June offers hope but precious little to shout about since; tongue-tie is a first. |

10th Nov 2022 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Fell early when well out of the weights in a three-runner handicap the last time and they were novice chases in which he struggled before that (remote thirds); his narrow defeat at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in June offers hope. |
25/1 |
