16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 33y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won this last year (soft) on his reappearance and ran well in the main subsequently, finishing fourth here in March when last seen (2m3f, good to soft); can have a big say if handling conditions (unraced on good ground). |
9/2 |

11st 10lb |
Won over 2m1f here on his reappearance and that was off only 3lb lower; held his form after that but the wheels came off at Haydock last time; possibilities if back on song. |

11st 2lb |
Dual winner over fences including here (2m4f, good to soft); 5lb lower than when second of six over hurdles at Stratford (2m6f, good) in May, but well held in both subsequent outings; stable also runs Catalan King. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 208y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Adaptable regarding ground and tactics; this looks less competitive than the Ffos Las 0-65 in which he finished second last time (hampered; two of these behind) and his claims are obvious. |
7/4 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Done a lot of his winning later in the year but offered more in the returning blinkers last time, back from a couple of months off; boasts a decent record when dipping below 0-70 company and won't mind any rain. |
5/1 |

3rd 1 (1) |
8th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Was 2-3 on the AW until disappointing at Kempton two months ago but he had been running well in the blinkers (reapplied) and he's a three-time turf winner on a competitive mark. |

11st 8lb |
Has offered little in three bumpers this winter so others make a lot more appeal. |

Big prices and minor form in two Worcester bumpers this autumn; likely to find this hard work again. |

30th May 2024 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
12lb lower when winning over fences in February but has posted three good runs on the bounce now, the last two over hurdles (2m, good to soft); sure to be involved if holding his form. |
11/4 |

3rd 9 |
18th May 2024 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Soft ground 2m chase winner in February, when 12lb lower; went close in that discipline (2m3f, heavy) on his penultimate start and also when back over hurdles at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft) latest; up 5lb; respected. |

22nd Apr 2024 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Has not finished closer than 22l to a winner in her nine starts including three handicaps; long way out of the weights again and can only be watched. |

Verdict
It might be worth siding with THATZA DAZZLER to leave his Chepstow debut behind as the fact he went off favourite suggests he’s thought capable of better by his good yard. Merrijig has been placed on all three starts but doesn’t set the bar high, while Kankin hasn’t been seen since his C&D debut second in December 2020 so it could be that the chief threat comes from Donald McCain’s point recruit Blue Fin.
