15th Jan 2024 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Ended last season in poor form and also disappointed on his two starts here in the autumn; on a good mark and suited by this C&D but needs to turn a corner; swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers. |

21st Nov 2023 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Ended last season in poor form and made low-key reappearance last month; needs to turn a corner but has conditions to suit here and may be boosted by the refitted cheekpieces (worn for last two wins). |

10st 12lb |
Dual chase winner in cheekpieces, more recently at Leicester (2m6f, good to firm) in December; ended last season with some lacklustre efforts and the headgear is missing today but a 196-day break might have done him good. |

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. |

10st 11lb |
2-19 over fences, his second success coming at Huntingdon in November 2021; has been struggling for a while and the combination of market support, Sean Bowen and a career-low mark failed to spark a revival last time; dropped another 2lb and the blinkers replace other headgear. |

13th Feb 2025 Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Multiple chase winner who made it three for the year at Southwell (2m, good to soft) in December; hasn't run to the same level since, a recent second at Huntingdon being a remote one, and others further up the list. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Ran okay over hurdles last time but hasn't won a race since 2019 and he's had loads of chances over fences (0-23); capable of going well but not one for maximum faith. |
14/1 |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Soundly beaten in two chases in August and remains without a win since summer 2019; reverts to hurdling on a workable mark and runs this track well but is probably not the percentage call. |
10/1 |

27th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Won three times over hurdles in Ireland; 0-22 over fences and was tailed off at Market Rasen (2m5f) 11 days ago but he was a good second at Uttoxeter (3m2f, good) on his penultimate run; that form puts him in the picture and he's not ruled out back up in trip. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 5f 24y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Thorough stayer but he was a remote third in this 12 months ago and nowhere near his best this campaign; an 11yo now and age seems to be catching up. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Began this year with some respectable efforts, most notably when second in first-time blinkers at Chepstow (3m6f, good); should be fine on the slower ground here but has fitness to prove after 224-day break and others appeal more; cheekpieces refitted. |

9th Apr 2025 Good To Firm 3m 4f 85y Class 4 |

2lb out of the weights; he was 3lb wrong and didn't jump that well but stuck to his task to be second at Chepstow (3m6f, good) in the first-time blinkers 20 days ago; thereabouts with something similar. |

Lightly raced 8yo who came good over fences with clearcut success at Hereford (3m1f, good) in April; not in same form on reappearance outing in October but will be a danger to all if back on song here. |

6th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Both wins gained at Huntingdon just over a year ago; not much since until remarkable performance when third at Market Rasen last week, from 33lb out of the handicap; hard to place maximum faith in that but repeat certainly makes him of serious interest. |
