26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Wincanton specialist who kept on for second there (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago in first-time cheekpieces (retained); he's run well here in the past but needs to prove his stamina, having faded over 3m1f at Wincanton in December. |

2nd 5 |
5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Gained all three chase wins over C&D, the latest off today's mark on seasonal debut in December (good to soft); has suffered a slump in form this winter, though, and has questions to answer now; tongue-tie added. |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Made it 3-7 over fences with narrow win on his C&D reappearance (good to soft) in December; only 1lb higher here but he's been disappointing since that last success and was pulled up at Exeter (first-time blinkers) last time; regular cheekpieces are now reapplied but he needs to get back in track. |

27th Jul 2023 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Tailed off at Fontwell last month (favourite), which takes some forgiving; won at the same track on previous outing and soft ground also no hardship so enters the argument if he can leave behind the latest flop. |

Two of his three wins have come here, the latest when finishing well to collar Tara Iti over C&D 19 days ago; little between the pair again and can be expected to be played late; chances. |

1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Made all to win this race in pretty good style off 3lb lower in 2025 (heavy ground) and returns here after making the frame on both starts this year (2m5f, good to soft/soft); ought to make a bold bid. |

22nd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Gave good account when fourth at Taunton (2m, good) in December, his second start for Tim Vaughan, but last month's Ffos Las run was a backward step and he's now 0-13 over hurdles; cheekpieces removed; tongue-tie added. |

14th May 2023 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Fair hurdler/chaser who was 2-5 over fences last season; not at best at Ayr last month but will be suited by today's trip/ground and has pretty good chance at the weights on this hurdling return; cheekpieces added. |

21st Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Two small-field wins at Leicester (2m, good to firm/good) from his first three chase starts and again ran well when second of four at Market Rasen (2m1f, good to soft) 12 days ago; needs another step forward here but that's possible, especially if good ground prevails; tongue-tie goes on. |

10th Apr 2023 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Going great guns in 2m handicap chases, winning two of first three starts (on good to firm/good); failed to find much in one 2m4f handicap but, as an Irish point winner, he should stay this far over fences; ran well when runner-up at Market Rasen yesterday. |

0-7 over hurdles but gave good account before fading into third behind two unexposed rivals at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) last month and also ran well on her only visit to Ffos Las; one to consider. |
