11th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Finished remote on reappearance but the situation was accepted a long way out and he comes into it on previous form here, winning two of three previous course starts (2m6f, soft/2m7f, good to soft); only just above his latest winning mark in April (2m3f, good); likely contender. |

Stays 3m5f; three of four wins were on heavy, the other on soft; latest was in January 2021 and although runner-up in two of his three completions this term, he needs to bounce back from a modest show just before Christmas. |

Not his fault when falling at Fontwell this month but had been pulled up in his three previous outings and now 0-14 in Britain; lot to prove. |

10th May 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
High-mileage 11yo who has looked out of sorts and been pulled up on all three starts this year; urgently needs to prove he still has what it takes; 2lb out of the weights. |

22nd Mar 2023 Good To Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Ex-Irish 11yo who has been campaigned mostly over fences for current yard; pulled up the last twice; not disgraced on last attempt over hurdles but he's on a long losing run. |

5th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 110y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
5lb out of the handicap today but won off this mark over fences (3m, heavy) and hurdles (3m2f, soft) in February 2021; two seconds (last December and this May) are easily the best of his eight starts since and he's a hard one to rely on. |
20/1 |

25th Nov 2022 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Won off this mark over fences (3m, heavy) and hurdles (3m2f, soft) early last year but has a very mixed record since and was tailed off at Hereford (3m1f chase) on his seasonal return two weeks ago; new combination of headgear is now tried and he comes with risks attached. |
9/1 |
|
9th 5 |
8th Nov 2022 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Bounced back from some lacklustre efforts when runner-up at Market Rasen (2m5f, good; refitted blinkers) in May; handicapped to have a say (3lb above last winning mark) but is 0-5 at Hereford, including as a beaten favourite in this race in 2019; isn't easy to predict. |

Belatedly off the mark under rules with hard-fought success at Sedgefield (3m3f, good) in October and also ran well when second over same C&D (soft) the following month; has fitness to prove after 169-day break, though, and others in this line-up appeal more. |

29th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Regressive and inconsistent 10yo; proved he retains significant ability when second at Lingfield (2m6f, soft) in November but looked reluctant when pulled up there last month and it's hard to tell whether he'll warm to the task here. |
13/2 |

5th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 110y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
6-21 over fences but his latest win was over 2m7f on heavy ground here over hurdles last December; none too consistent but back down the weights and well capable of figuring prominently, as he showed when runner-up to Ramore Will here three weeks ago. |

16th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |

Weights chance on most recent winning form, over 2m4f at Leicester last January, but a regular non-completer since, including at Chepstow last month. |

23rd Mar 2023 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |

Lightly raced in recent years; has form over C&D and proved he retains ability when keeping on for modest third at Lingfield (2m6f, heavy) in December but younger rivals appeal more all the same. |

20th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 5f 137y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made a bright start to last year with a good second over C&D on New Year's Day, but his form has taken a marked downturn since and recent efforts have been poor; new headgear needs to spark a revival. |
50/1 |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Won on soft ground at Fontwell in a hurdle race in 2021 and a 3m2f chase in 2023; however, there was an echo of that in only one (runner-up in January last year) of his eight starts for current yard. |
25/1 |

7th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Belied triple-digit odds when second over hurdles here (2m5f, soft) on seasonal debut in January but two disappointing runs have followed and it's hard to know what to expect from him on this return to fences; refitted blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

One of her better runs when 18l second in first-time cheekpieces over fences at Lingfield (2m4f, soft) in November; however, pulled up in chases the next twice and has something to prove now back over hurdles in a visor. |

5th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 110y Class 5 |

Irish maiden point winner; standout effort when second in a novice hurdle at Plumpton (2m4f, good to soft) in January; down the weights in first-time headgear when second again at this track (2m4f, soft) three weeks ago on second chase start, admittedly beaten 18l but it was a step back in the right direction. |

4th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 3f 123y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Completed a soft-ground hat-trick in late 2023 and, having had wind surgery, he returned to form with a close second over 3m here in November (soft), pulling clear with the favourite; off for 97 days, but goes well fresh so has clear claims off 3lb higher if he stays and handles this quicker surface. |

24th Feb 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Bumper/Flat winner; not ruled out on his best efforts now he's dropped right down the weights but is a longstanding maiden over jumps and made it 0-12 over fences when falling at Lingfield in December. |

5th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 110y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Last won in 2017 (Flat); 0-24 over fences but runner-up in five of them, including on first two starts last season; ended last term over hurdles and it's eyecatching that he is now 11lb lower than in his latest chase (three starts back); unexposed over this sort of trip; strongly considered each-way. |

31st Jan 2023 Soft 3m 1f 60y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Lightly raced Irish maiden point winner formerly with Henry De Bromhead; unseated on her first run after wind surgery (and stable debut) but she ran a solid race behind a comfortable winner back at Lingfield (2m6f, heavy) last time; shouldn't be far away in new cheekpieces. |

2nd 13 |
21st Dec 2022 Soft 2m 6f 10y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Lightly raced Irish maiden point winner formerly with Henry De Bromhead; just her second run for this yard, and the first after wind surgery, when unseating between three and two out here 16 days ago in the race dominated by Ramore Will and Echo Watt; she was going well at the time so needs considering. |
