22nd Dec 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Raced mainly at around 2m but returned to form with clearcut success when upped to 2m4f at Lingfield (good to soft) 11 days ago and is now 6-20 over fences; escapes a penalty here (due a 5lb rise) and ought to cope with the slower ground; obvious contender. |

11th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Yard had good record with chasers here in recent years and won today's race in 2021 but this one rarely runs beyond 2m and well below his best in two runs this season; has stamina to prove on first 2m4f run. |
7/2 |

27th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 212y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
10yo who is not easy to predict but he shaped as though he needed the run at Huntingdon on his recent return and he's 2-3 over C&D, including a win in this race (off 3lb higher) last year; looks interesting back at this track and he's in the mix for in-form yard. |

13th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 12y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Dug deep to win by a short head off today's mark at Ffos Las (2m, good) in October, after a break, but looked out of sorts on both appearances last month (chase/hurdle) and needs a good boost from first-time visor here. |
16/1 |

5th 3 |
22nd Feb 2023 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Took advantage of a favourable mark over fences at Ffos Las (2m, good) in October; two backward steps since, having a second go in cheekpieces on latest (they are now discarded); back hurdling for first time since October 2021 and has a good mark if that receives a positive response. |

5th Feb 2023 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Has run well both starts here, over hurdles and fences (in better company last February); took advantage of a favourable mark at Ffos Las in October (2m, good) but soft ground against him since; cheekpieces no help on final start of last campaign, now refitted; respected at the right level. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Good-ground specialist with 11 chase wins on his CV, including 2025 edition of this race; shaped well before weakening into fourth at Bangor (2m1f, good) this month, after a layoff, and can make a bold bid from the front under Sean Bowen. |
13/8 |

4th 5 |
16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Good-ground specialist who made all in small field at Wetherby (1m7f, good) on latest outing in the autumn, his 11th chase success; won when fresh last spring but is slightly out of the weights here and may find younger rivals better handicapped. |
5/1 |

15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 36y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Ten-time chase winner, mainly on good ground; pulled up soon after mid-race jumping error last time but won at Cartmel (2m1f, good to soft) in the spring and was a creditable second at Uttoxeter (2m, good) two starts ago; can make his presence felt. |

21st Jul 2024 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Should be well handicapped, likes good ground and returned to form with a pleasing second at Newton Abbot; often takes a good hold so the assured strong pace here will aid his chance. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 7 |
14th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Did not hit top gear during light campaign last season and was well beaten (albeit on soft ground) last month, after a break; on good mark now and might be seen to better effect if the ground stays good here but others have much less to prove. |
16/1 |
|
4th 4 |
22nd May 2024 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Four chase wins (from 14 attempts); has seemingly found himself stranded too high in the weights since scoring at Worcester (2m, good) in October 2022; back to his last winning mark after unseating rider early on at Plumpton last September; fitness is taken on trust. |
