6th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Two wins in 2019/20 but absent for nearly two years after the second of them and hasn't recovered his form; however, change of headgear offers hope (won in first-time cheekpieces); best if able to lead. |

Both chase wins from the front at about 3m, latest in February 2020; long absence before last season and well below form since; four wind operations in all, the fourth before latest start; hard to rely on. |

Both chase wins from the front, most recently over C&D three years ago; well below best since back from absence last January and has lots to prove after pulled up on Boxing Day; had further wind surgery since. |

Bumped into revitalised opponent when second at Plumpton (3m1f, good) this month and remains on a workable mark but he's now 0-17 over fences and others have more potential; tongue-tie added. |

1st Mar 2023 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Five-time chase winner but not since November 2020, and has been out of form so far this season; would appeal more on soft/heavy ground and stable has much more obvious chance with Doyannie. |

Potentially well handicapped but stuck on a losing run and this season hasn't started well; the return of cheekpieces is probably no bad thing but others appeal more. |

Kept on well to win from the front at Ludlow (3m, good to soft; front pair clear) in February and remains well handicapped on best of last season's form but he's too inconsistent to rely upon heavily. |

Ran quite well when second (albeit well held) at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) three weeks ago and will be fine over today's longer trip but he's very inconsistent nowadays and it's nearly two years since his last win. |

5th Feb 2023 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |

Ten-race maiden who was pulled up in two soft-ground chases here (2m5f/2m) last month and now reverts to hurdling; makes no significant appeal; visor removed after one use. |

Placed once over hurdles in Ireland but never backed up that effort; has achieved little in two runs for new yard, latest over 2m5f here (chase debut); first-time visor needs to make a big difference. |

Veteran mare; yet to hit top gear this season and fell when last in action but will be suited by today's trip/track/ground and has slipped to a good mark; can't be ruled out. |

23rd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Now 12 but she won off this mark at Taunton (2m3f, soft) last March and shaped when fifth of 16 there (2m3f, good to soft) last month as though she may benefit from this step back up in trip; each-way contender. |

27th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |

Won two chases (3m2f/2m7f) when cheekpieces were refitted last spring but has been pulled up on all four outings this year; tried blinkers last time; usual tongue-tie his only headgear here; 2lb out of the weights. |
25/1 |
Verdict
He wasn’t at his best in stronger company 17 days ago but FAMILY POT gave a good account when placed off today’s mark over 3m1f here two starts and is also well suited by this shorter trip. He gets the vote ahead of Just Go For It, who made an encouraging chase debut over C&D last month. Furkash has a tendency to make jumping errors but can be dangerous off his current mark if he avoids any serious howlers.[Chris Wilson]
