15th May 2024 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Six-time chase winner; badly out of form since very respectable seventh of 19 in much stronger race than this at Cheltenham (3m1f, good) in October but lurks on a very dangerous mark now and he's another who ought to benefit if the ground dries out here. |

2nd Dec 2022 Good To Soft 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
12st 2lb |
Lightly raced 9yo, who won here (3m) and at Chepstow (2m7f, both on soft) in his first two chase runs last winter; came up short in hat-trick bid at this track in February and he found things tough in Midlands National in final run last term but he still has potential as a chaser and has shaped like a thorough stayer at times; dangerous on his return. |

21st Dec 2022 Good 3m 2f 57y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Ended last season with two creditable efforts in marathon chases and he returned from another break with a respectable fourth at Exeter (3m6f, good to soft) 19 days ago; takes a big drop back in trip but his last win came over 2m7f here in February and he could be dangerous. |

4th 9 |
2nd Dec 2022 Good To Soft 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Ended last season with two creditable efforts in marathon chases but he's not been at his best over hurdles and fences in his two runs this term; mark is sliding but he's still 3lb higher than for his chase win and has an overall record of 3-36; others preferred. |

23rd Mar 2023 Soft 3m 6f 130y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Dual chase winner last season, latterly at Bangor (3m5f, soft); not in same form this term but might have found good ground too lively when last of four finishers at Wetherby (3m7f) this month; might be the answer. |

10th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 3m 5f 142y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Tends to race rather lazily but came from off the pace to win this race by 16l last year (soft ground; second-time cheekpieces) and has made late headway on both outings this season (3m6f/3m; no headgear); no surprise if he makes a bold defence of his crown with the cheekpieces now refitted. |

25th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 80y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
No longer the force of old and inconsistent nowadays but he capitalised upon some significant help from the handicapper when winning Norfolk National at Fakenham (3m5f, good) three weeks ago and he is also very well suited by this track. |
15/8 |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Gained three of his 14 wins here, including 2022 edition of this race, but has regressed and become inconsistent; didn't run badly in last month's Sussex National at Plumpton (3m4f, good; first-time cheekpieces) but younger rivals have much more appealing profiles. |
14/1 |

6th 4 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 104y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
He's won here three times and was second in this race in 2024 on his last Plumpton visit; on a reduced mark but this 11yo has struggled to get competitive on his last few starts and needs to turn things around in first-time cheekpieces. |

Returned from 508-day absence to make winning stable debut at Ffos Las (3m, soft) in November but his form has nosedived since, and it's hard to predict whether he'll warm to the task here. |

Became more miss than hit for Nigel Hawke; absent 508 days before winning at Ffos Las (soft; 1lb higher today) in November at his first attempt for new yard but he's taken major backward steps in his two starts since. |

Got up close home for C&D (good) win under Edward Vaughan in April and, if anything, ought to be better suited by today's forecast slower ground; contender if recent reappearance run has done him good. |

Generally disappointing since beating two rivals on chasing debut in November 2021, and comes here after 53l defeat in Bangor marathon last month; needs to turn a corner. |

10th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 3m 5f 142y Class 4 |

Generally disappointing since beating two rivals on chasing debut in November 2021 but was still in contention when falling in home straight at Exeter (3m6f, good to soft) in December and remains well handicapped on older form; not ruled out. |

2nd Dec 2022 Good To Soft 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |

Made a winning chase debut here (3m, good) last November but that was in a three-runner race but he's been generally very disappointing since; mark is tumbling but was tailed off at Cheltenham on his recent return and has plenty to prove on this step back up in trip. |

Dual chase winner (2m7f, good/soft) when trained in Ireland; signed off for Henry de Bromhead with two respectable runs in May but he's finished tailed off in both runs for current yard; has some questions to answer and he goes into unknown territory at this trip. |

Now 4lb lower than for his win at Carlisle (3m2f, good) last autumn but he's not completed in any of his four runs Ian Williams and was pulled up here (3m, good) two weeks ago; has a lot to prove. |
