10th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 0f 92y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Absent since 9l fourth to Editeur De Gite last January in Grade 1 at Cheltenham (2m, soft); however, he finished lame and had impressed previously in handicaps at Cheltenham (2m, good) and over this C&D (good; has also won on soft here); could have a part to play if returning at top of his game. |

Second-season chaser who made all at Cheltenham (2m, good) two weeks ago; won well over C&D in February then ran respectably in the Grand Annual at the Cheltenham Festival; looks the type to improve further; respected. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 203y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
No win since late 2023 and he hasn't got a lot going this season; he had run well but looked on the retreat when unseating in Outlaw Peter's race here 11 days ago (visor replaced usual cheekpieces). |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Winless since December 2023 and hasn't posed a serious threat this season; however, he was best of the rest behind easy winner Guard Your Dreams at Warwick (2m4f, heavy) last time and continues to drop down the weights; handles various ground; not ruled out in first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces). |
8/1 |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Quirky customer who is without a win since December 2023 and has become frustrating; that said, he ran well for a long way in a valuable Ascot handicap (2m5f, soft) three weeks ago and is another 4lb lower here. |

Dual winner over fences but last success was three years ago; his mark continues to fall but he doesn't look ready to take advantage. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 67y Class 3 |

C&D winner whose mark continues to fall and he was an encouraging third at Bangor in November following a break; however, this inconsistent 12yo is winless since March 2023 and others arrive with more pressing claims. |

Has a good record here but all his best days have been over shorter distances and, now an 11yo, he's leaving it late to prove his worth over this far. |

11th Nov 2022 Good To Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Useful in bumpers and over hurdles, and she took well to fences last season, signing off with a clearcut success in four-runner mares' event on New course here (2m, good) in the spring; now 5lb higher in a stronger race but she's reliable and unlikely to be far away. |

22nd Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Better than the bare result when fourth of 13 at Aintree (2m, good; came from rear after early mistake) last week; that followed a good second at Warwick and suggests his current mark is still workable; has an impressive record (a win, a second and a third from three runs) at Ayr and should go well. |

13th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |

Hat-trick at about this trip last midwinter (on heavy/soft) but in the meantime has all too often looked weighted to his best off similar marks to today's; others higher up the list. |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
An 11yo now who isn't as good as he was and has predictably lost some of his old speed; hasn't been running badly in handicaps at about this trip but looks vulnerable. |
8/1 |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
On a good mark but an 11yo now and has lost some of his old zip; ran okay at Uttoxeter last time but got outpaced when it mattered and was never threatening; what will help here is the likelihood of a good pace and some rain; respected. |
10/1 |

29th Jun 2025 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 2 |

An 11yo now and, in first-time cheekpieces, finished well behind at Ayr in a race he had done well in previously; this wouldn't be so demanding and his penultimate effort was quite encouraging; by no means ruled out. |

2nd Jul 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 34y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Twice finished placed this spring (2m4f, soft/good) and the handicapper has given him a big chance as he's now 8lb lower; not ruled out but he has to perform better than he's managed the last twice. |
14/1 |

3rd 2 |
22nd Jun 2023 Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |

Not as good as he was over fences but remains capable of useful chase form; didn't really fire here last month but still looks interesting off his lower hurdle mark; best on good ground but handles soft. |

25th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 92y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Now 8lb lower than when winning over C&D last March but he's having a ragged season and not sure his second to easy winner Family Business represented a return to form; others appeal more. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
19th Feb 2023 Good To Firm 2m 0f 92y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
C&D winner last March (good to soft) off a 5lb higher mark but he was an early faller on his return to chasing at Ascot, then ran flat back here (good) and ran no race at all at Ludlow; has lots to prove all of a sudden and is unraced on ground faster than good. |
2/1 |
|
6 |
20th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 1m 7f 212y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Back on his last winning mark but he was an early faller on his return to chasing at Ascot and then ran flat at Newbury (2m, good) when beaten a distance into third; that effort casts plenty of doubt. |
12/1 |
