5th Nov 2023 Soft 3m 2f 34y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Posted a handicap hurdle hat-trick late last year (2m4f/3m, soft/good to soft); this 9yo is making a belated chase debut but he showed promise in points in 2018 (including runner-up to Shishkin) and he has a good reappearance record (including a win here); not ruled out. |

8th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Finished a well-held sixth (behind Itso Fury) at Ascot when bidding for a four-timer but ran respectably and Beau Morgan now takes off 7lb with his claim; enters calculations. |

30th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 3 |

Just out of the money at Ascot last month when bidding for a four-timer but ran respectably on bare figures and likely remains in form; C&D winner the time before and enters calculations back here. |

10th Jan 2024 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
13yo who has had 18 races, winning a handicap hurdle in 2019; tailed off when last seen in June/November and this is only his second venture beyond 2m5f; the switch back from chasing looks a positive. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 219y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
His jumping has been an issue this season and he was soundly beaten at Newbury last time; however, two starts ago he was a close second of four there (2m, good to soft) and he has a good record at this track; might not be far away if finding some fluency. |
4/1 |

3rd 2 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 92y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Almost as good as ever this season and he kept on well when 1l second of four over C&D (good to soft) three weeks ago; a repeat of that form would see him go close, with a tongue-strap added for the first time in Britain, but a losing sequence is developing and he tends to make mistakes. |
7/4 |

2nd 1 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 92y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Resurgent in first-time blinkers when second to an improver at Sandown in January (good; fine on soft) and fell midrace back there last time; it's surprising to see cheekpieces back on (beaten 10l in December when tried in them once before) but he has a big effort in him off this mark. |

19th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 10y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Gained the last three of his seven hurdle wins over C&D (including 2024 edition of this race); absent since two small-field seconds in October (2m5f/2m7f) but there's a good chance he'll be primed for a big run on this return to Huntingdon. |

21st Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 25y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Record of 7-17 over hurdles and just missed out on return to this discipline last week at Hereford (2m5f, good; stays this far); only three completed that day but this 8yo should again be seriously involved. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 163y Class 4 |

Record of 7-16 over hurdles; started off promisingly over fences with two seconds in small fields but disappointing the last twice; on a competitive mark back over hurdles. |

Irish point winner who edged home in a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in January; offered little on his switch to handicaps at Doncaster (2m3f, soft) but he's better than that. |

11st 8lb |
Claims on last season's best but he made an underwhelming return from 320 days off at Plumpton 23 days ago; needs to leave that effort behind him. |

16th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
6-16 over fences, the latest win gained in this race a year ago (soft ground; also suited by good); returned from seven-month with encouraging run a fortnight ago and should now be teed up to defend his crown. |
16/1 |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Has a good strike-rate over fences (6-15), latest win at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) nearly a year ago; not at his best late last year on last two starts; now only 1lb above that win and Finn Lambert's claim will help, but needs to bounce back after his break. |

3rd Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |

Already has six chase wins under his belt but he hasn't been quite on song since the latest of them, at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) in July; will do well to add to his haul in this race. |

18th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 3f 49y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Dual winner on the Flat in France whose sole success for this yard came over hurdles at Ludlow (2m5f, soft) in April 2018; has only made the track four times since the beginning of 2019 and has shown nothing (bled on one occasion); lots to prove. |
16/1 |

10th 8 |
9th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Made low-key return from mammoth absence a year ago (chase debut) and was pulled up when reverting to hurdling after another layoff in December (bled from the nose); connections are persisting but he urgently needs to prove some ability remains, and Charlie Deutsch evidently prefers Oxygen today. |
16/1 |

1st Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Dual hurdle winner, once for this yard (2m5f, soft); was returning from 1136 days off when tailed off on his chase debut in February and now returns from another absence; stable form bodes well and he's nicely handicapped if as good as he was. |
