26th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 219y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Has been well out of form since returning in September from a break and has offered little switched to hunter chases this year; now back in handicap company for his leading stable and down to a potentially workable mark, but recent efforts temper enthusiasm. |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
Odds-on third in this race last year before comfortably making all in Stratford hunter chase (2m1f, good) in May; hasn't got near the latter form in eight starts since September however and latest pulled up, despite attracting some support, was a third non completion in a row; others look safer. |

He was in better form when runner-up in this last year having won his previous race; very disappointing when pulled up back here just before Christmas and then unseated at Ludlow when 33-1; hard to trust right now. |

21st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 7f 195y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Not as good as he was but that's reflected in his mark and he knows his way around this place; returning from a break when third in this 12 months ago off a 4lb higher mark; could easily have a role to play. |
7/2 |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Not quite as good as he was but still a useful performer; placed on final two starts last season (2m hurdle/2m1f chase) and drops back in trip after looking stretched by 2m4f last month; probably best on good/good to soft but has won on soft; enters calculations. |

16th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Not quite as good as he was but still a useful performer; second off today's mark on latest hurdling start at Newbury (2m, good to soft) in March and also ran well when third in Sussex Champion Chase at Plumpton (2m1f, good) last month; well worth another crack at 2m4f; probably won't be far away. |

27th Jan 2024 Good To Soft 3m 1f 56y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Delivered with a well-timed challenge to win major 3m2f handicap at Newbury (good to soft) eight weeks ago, proving suited by the new trip and taking chase record to 3-10; generally progressive and is unexposed beyond 2m4f; possibilities. |
11/2 |

1st 11 |
2nd Dec 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 214y Class 1 |
10st 7lb |
Unraced beyond an extended 2m4f and this is a tough race in which to test his stamina; however, he was strong at the finish when winning a Grade 2 novice at Ayr (2m4f, good) in April and may well have staying potential; might have needed his reappearance in the Old Roan and is not ruled out. |

26th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 210y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Capitalised on a reduced mark in three-runner handicap at Ludlow (3m, good) in April and could improve for this month's 25l second of five on reappearance at Ludlow (3m, good to firm), when making mistakes; also effective on soft ground; possible player if jumping better this time. |

8th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
10yo who turned things around when narrowly beating an odds-on rival in a C&D handicap (good; 11-2) in April; been absent since then but he's only 1lb higher than for that win and has claims if he can pick up where he left off. |
9/2 |

1st 5 |
2nd Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Commendable third off 11lb higher at last year's Cheltenham Festival (2m4f, soft; good ground also suits) but badly out of form this season (four runs) and is the one in this line-up with by far the most to prove. |

19th Aug 2023 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Patchy form over fences for Philip Hobbs last season; dual winner over hurdles in 2021, and quite interesting with hood and tongue-tie tried on first run for new trainer providing rain stays away (non-runner on soft in Too Friendly's race at Market Rasen last time). |

8th May 2023 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |

Dual hurdle winner in 2021; seemed to be getting his act together over fences when second of four at Taunton (2m, soft) in January but was no match for the winner there and has since performed poorly. |

11th Oct 2024 Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
2021 was his year when winning valuable handicaps at Newbury and Ascot; now on a losing run of 12 and last season was mostly a washout; has to turn a corner but he's very well handicapped. |
6/1 |

17th Feb 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 58y Class 2 |

Successful in two notable handicaps in 2021, one of them here, and looks well treated on that smart form; however, he's on an 11-race losing sequence and had no obvious excuses when only fifth of the seven finishers at Kempton just after Christmas. |
16/1 |
