13th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |

Lost his way last season but his Fontwell return was a lot more like it (behind two of these); could build on that run which came after 211 days off. |

Thorough stayer; hasn't won for more than two years but best effort for some time when second at Wincanton last month; remains on a good mark and could go close; usually makes the running. |

17th Jun 2023 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Running well and was out of the weights when beaten under 5l at Warwick (3m1f, good) most recently; 3lb lower this time and can have a say. |

4th 7 |
24th May 2023 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Lost out only by a neck in 15-runner handicap chase here (3m, good) last month and was clear second to progressive rival at Huntingdon (2m7f, good) a fortnight ago; evidently in good heart but competes from 5lb out of the weights today and his career strike-rate now stands at 0-31. |

2nd 9 |
11th May 2023 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Chance wasn't obviously nearing before almost making it 30th time lucky at Warwick a fortnight ago (3m, good) from 5lb out of the weights; no good thing to back that up, but does run off his true mark this time. |

10th Sep 2023 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |

Proved he retains a modicum of ability when 40-1 third here (3m2f, good to soft) in May but was pulled up on all three subsequent appearances; 3lb wrong today; too risky. |

10th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 4f 85y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Ended last season in excellent form, completing a hat-trick with clearcut success at Exeter (3m6f, heavy), but made nothing better than a satisfactory reappearance in October and was pulled up in Welsh Grand National on only subsequent appearance; still on a fairly tough mark and needs to get back in the groove. |

27th Dec 2024 Soft 3m 6f 130y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Ended last season in excellent form on heavy ground in blinkers, winning twice over 3m1f at Wincanton before drawing 6l clear over an extended 3m6f at Exeter; should have come on markedly since October reappearance and this is only his second run over a marathon trip; could have more to offer, though seemingly the deeper the ground the better it is for him. |

Of interest on his form in the second half of 2022, including a 2m7f win at Worcester; may have needed last month's return from five months off; claims. |

24th Apr 2024 Good 3m 2f 57y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Defied a similar mark in good fashion at Exeter 13 months ago (3m, good to soft; only four runs back); ran well for a long way on reappearance but was tired when pulled up again on heavy ground at Exeter 17 days ago; under these less demanding conditions she should go well if as good as she was. |

Returned to form with 6l C&D (good to soft) win just under a year ago and put in good front-running shift when fifth on heavy ground here on seasonal reappearance in January; one to consider. |

Runner-up off a lowly mark at Wincanton (3m1f, good) 11 months ago but hasn't shown a great deal this season; now 0-21 under rules and makes very limited appeal from 9lb out of the weights here. |
