10st 6lb |
Not beaten far when third of four at Doncaster (2m3f, soft) last month and remains very well handicapped on last season's form but has basically become disappointing; needs latest headgear switch to perk him up. |

20th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Runner-up at Plumpton (2m3f, good to soft) in December and respectable fourth in his last two runs but this 13yo is now 1-24 over fences and that win was over two years ago; down the list. |

31st Jan 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Veteran who scored over hurdles here (heavy) in 2019 and broke a long losing run two years ago over fences at Plumpton; no joy since but, even though he's 2lb out of the weights today, he's regularly shown enough to be given a place chance. |

Only win came over 2m at Lingfield and fair third over that C&D in November (some way behind /Shaw's Cross); effectiveness at this trip unproven. |

28th Dec 2022 Heavy 2m 4f 110y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Chase winner on very soft in France but out of luck for this yard in Britain despite the major drop in his handicap mark; down in class but his latest defeat came in a modest grade. |
12/1 |

7th 7 |
21st Dec 2022 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Won a 2m1f chase on testing ground in France in 2021; beaten too far in his eight British starts (five over hurdles, the three over fences) to be recommended at the moment but he is way down the weights. |
20/1 |

6th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Won slow-ground chase in France last autumn (2m1f) but yet to be placed after seven British starts; not written off just yet but is 5lb out of the weights here and needs to turn a corner. |

6th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Course winner; a lot of his form is over shorter but he proved his stamina for 3m when runner-up at Ffos Las two weeks ago (good); unlikely to be far away off the same mark. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 10 |
21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Produced a remarkable late surge to snatch what had looked an unlikely victory at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft; blinkers removed) last month but this inconsistent 9yo tends to race lazily nowadays and got going too late when back at Fontwell a fortnight ago; other are much less risky. |
