11th Mar 2023 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
9yo with seven wins to his name, most recently under Ben Bromley at Kempton (2m, soft) in November; however, he was well held behind three of today's rivals over C&D in January and this is an even tougher assignment. |

21st Nov 2022 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Returning from lengthy absence and having first run since rejoining Harry Fry; useful on his day and has two pieces of notable Grade 3 handicap form (off 7lb higher); heed the market signals. |

11th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
A pretty useful jumper, last successful in a 2m handicap hurdle here in September; rarely seen on the Flat in recent years but he has finished second in staying handicaps on AW on his last two runs in this sphere; should be involved. |

14th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Outclassed in the Greatwood last time when pulled up at 100-1; usually consistent and went into that in form after competitive runs over 2m (good/heavy); however, he .does look on a tough mark and might be vulnerable. |

9th Jun 2023 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Four wins in 2020 but no joy since; good second at Ffos Las in January (off 6lb higher) but has rather lost his way since; visor no help when pulled up latest and tongue-strap now enlisted for the first time. |

8th May 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Quite lightly raced since winning four in a row on good ground in 2020 and comes here after two disappointing efforts, the latter in refitted cheekpieces; needs to be perked up by the first-time visor. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 24y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Veteran who hasn't won since 2023 but he's been in fair form on AW this spring including when fourth on Polytrack (2m) in his last two starts; should be in the mix again but he needs to find more to make a big impact; cheekpieces are removed and blinkers return. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Veteran who hasn't won since 2023; expensive to follow in recent times but he arrives in form and this is a touch easier again off a career-low mark; can't be left out of calculations. |
4/1 |

4th 4 (4) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Losing run dates back to July 2023; conditions are no problem for this veteran and he has been running respectably of late; others appeal more all the same. |

5th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 110y |
11st 12lb |
Two wins over hurdles in Britain; uneven form in three chase starts, best display when second in a small-field Newbury handicap; off for over a year; good claimer booked for his Irish debut. |

25th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
This was the trip for his Taunton win in April (good) and he might have even surpassed that form with his recent seconds over C&D; has the same mark as last time and should have a big say. |
9/2 |

2nd 3 |
5th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Good second over C&D 16 days ago ridden by Freddie Gingell, keeping on well; could prove vulnerable for the win back up 3lb but with his chase experience he's likely to be thereabouts. |

28th Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Resurgent for new yard this summer and it was in a higher grade when an 8l fourth at Cartmel (2m1f, good); likely to continue the good work and have a say. |
6/1 |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Became disappointing for Paul Nicholls last year but she's been resurgent for new yard this summer, with a win at Southwell (2m, good) followed by a good second at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good); remains feasibly treated on her best form and she's respected. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 3 |
14th Jun 2024 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Became disappointing for Paul Nicholls last year but held on from a strong finisher for narrow win off reduced mark on last month's stable debut at Southwell (2m, good); still well handicapped after a 4lb rise and can cope if the ground softens here; good chance. |
5/2 |
