31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Creditable second in a Kelso handicap chase in October (2m1f, good); not done as well since and was well beaten back over hurdles at Kempton in January (2m, good; cheekpieces back on) on latest start; hood now tried; bit to prove. |

25th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Faller when last seen but earlier novice chase form featured a success (2m, good) when fresh; still has low mileage over fences and warrants respect off a workable mark on reappearance. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 207y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Three consecutive wins over hurdles in May/June (2m-2m7f, good/good to soft) and he was running okay in that sphere last month; however, he has something to find in today's company and he didn't improve for the switch to fences when soundly beaten in January on his sole previous chase start. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Came up rather short in higher grade last time; solid record (1112) in Class 4 otherwise this term, albeit has shot up the weights as a result; may be in the assessor's grip now. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
It took a return to selling level to regain the winning thread in May but has since gone 112 in 2m4f/2m7f handicaps; getting high in the weights (nudged up another 1lb) but he's pretty solid. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Northern runner who has looked as good as ever in winning two of his last three races, taking chase record to 6-18; did it quite readily at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) latest; ran respectably at Newbury in November; likely player in current form. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
5-17 over fences and his win at Aintree (2m4f, good to soft) on Boxing Day was up there with his best efforts; ran poorly at Cheltenham four weeks later but in the mix if bouncing back. |

27th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual C&D winner but last of those was in April 2023; just his second run this year when finishing with a flourish to take fifth of 11 over C&D (good to soft) 23 days ago; not the force of old but has possibilities if able to build on that run. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Veteran who has raced only once this year, when soundly beaten in 1m6f AW handicap in July; suited by this C&D and rain will aid his cause but it's very hard to gauge how much ability he retains. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won heavy-ground Irish maiden in early 2023 but struggled in three British handicaps for new stable last month; swaps usual hood for first-time cheekpieces here; leap of faith required to support him. |

30th Jun 2024 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won a heavy-ground maiden hurdle in early 2023 when based in Ireland; twice tailed off in handicaps since returning from a long absence and hard to trust at the minute. |
