19th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 4f 178y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Made low-key return from long layoff when remote fourth at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) last month but well handicapped on form shown in February/March 2024 and has possibilities on first attempt at a marathon trip. |

31st Mar 2024 Good To Soft 3m 1f 152y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Second run over fences was disappointing but he's come back with wins in two small-field handicaps over 2m7f at Newbury (again on heavy); raised another 5lb but he's on the up and today's extra yardage may well help. |

25th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 3m 2f 54y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Stamina to spare at this trip as a winner at up to 3m5f, but hard to place maximum faith in one with three wins and five pulled ups from their last eight starts, and genuinely good ground would ask a new question. |

His profile is all or nothing and when winning at Exeter last month (3m, soft) only two others completed; however, he's a relentless galloper and this is his sort of race. |

19th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Disappointing at Wincanton (2m5f) the last twice; ran well over C&D (good to soft) in December, finishing third to a stablemate who has since bagged Grade 2 honours; interesting on that best effort. |

21st Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Placed four consecutive times (2m7f-3m6f) after his C&D (heavy) win in first-time blinkers just under a year ago; still on a workable mark but was pulled up when tried in a visor last month and is untested on ground faster than good to soft. |

7th Feb 2025 Soft 3m 5f 142y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Lightly raced 9yo who has been consistent in staying chases at up to 3m1f but stamina appeared stretched over 3m6f at Exeter (soft) last time; will need to see this out better and the change of headgear is a grey area. |

9th Apr 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Has more than enough ability to win races and has gone close on his last two starts, proving his stamina for 3m when second of six at Haydock (soft) 18 days ago; cheekpieces now added; unlikely to be far away. |

22nd Mar 2023 Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 4 |

Disappointing favourite at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) on penultimate start; has shown improved form over about 2m4f in his other two runs this season, short-headed at Wetherby (soft) on latest; needs to prove his stamina but otherwise looks a player on handicap debut. |

Struggled on recent chase/handicap debut at Ffos Las (3m, soft); that run came after a 468-day absence and she remains unexposed under rules but a huge step forward is needed today; cheekpieces added. |

12st 0lb |
Launched his chasing career with two 3m wins in the mud at Exeter last March and scored again over that C&D on latest outing (same race as last year) but this time on good ground under claimer Chad Bament; the latter was by just a short head (after third-placed Shot Boii was reeled in close home) but he should remain competitive going back up 3lb. |
