27th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Returned to form with small-field win in first-time visor at Carlisle (2m5f, soft) last month; remains on a workable mark and will be fine over today's longer trip but was struggling to keep up with Juniper before falling quite heavily at three out at Taunton (2m5f, soft) on latest outing. |

29th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 5f 150y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Made it 2-2 at Carlisle (2m5f; both on soft) when winning the same race for the second time this month (first-time visor replaced blinkers, as today); acts on sharp right-handed tracks as well and, despite going back up 4lb, her first Carlisle win came off this mark; looks good for a big run. |

Hasn't threatened this season but he faced a tough Listed assignment last time and is now 4lb lower than when winning this last year (soft); not ruled out with a first-time visor replacing blinkers. |

8th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Behind stablemate Blackjack Magic when seventh in final of this veterans' series at Sandown in January and was soundly beaten in major Ascot handicap last month but her first two runs this season were very respectable and she's now 3lb lower than when winning this race in 2025. |
7/2 |

14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 185y Class 1 |

Successful in two legs of the 2025 Stayers' Veterans' Chase Series but came up short in the Final won by Nocte Volatus; hasn't won a conventional race since 2023. |

30th Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
In-form mare who won four-runner veterans' chase fairly comfortably at Carlisle (3m, good) a week ago and is now 2-3 since fitted with a visor; has 6lb penalty to carry today but is respected in her current mood. |

30th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 152y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won two chases last year (3m/2m7f) and is very versatile regarding ground but both runs this winter have been very disappointing and it's hard to tell whether she'll warm to the task here. |
25/1 |

2nd Jan 2023 Soft 3m 4f 102y Class 3 |
10st 3lb |
Has won two chases at about 3m (on heavy and good) during the past year but very hit and miss, as she reminded us at Hereford only 12 days ago; well treated on her old hurdling form and would have each-way claims if fancying it this afternoon. |
25/1 |

21st Dec 2022 Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Won from a long way out of the weights in first-time cheekpieces at Warwick (3m, heavy) in February and bounced back to form with 22l success on seasonal debut at Worcester (2m7f, good) in October; still well handicapped on older hurdling form but not an easy mare to predict. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
C&D winner whose last win came at Ffos Las in January 2023; lightly raced since, one of her best runs when second in a mares' handicap at Huntingdon last time (2m7f, soft); stable in better form now; good chance. |
7/2 |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Dual soft-ground winner either side of Christmas 2022-23 (3m1f, 3m2f); limited form in just three starts in the past three years, though might just have gone closer but for losing a shoe latest. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Possible to forgive last month's stable/seasonal debut, in which she did too much out in front over a trip longer than optimum; more in her favour here, and 2lb below her one winning mark; some appeal. |
12/1 |

5th Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Just 1-13 over fences but she rallied well to finish runner-up off a similar mark at Hereford (2m5f, good) in October; returns for new yard but she has run well when fresh in the past and looks worth another try at this trip; in the mix with Sean Bowen booked. |

25th Jul 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Back over hurdles for her last three races (2m4f-3m2f) and found just one too good in the penultimate one; had no excuses when beaten 24l in the latest and she has a modest strike-rate. |

5th Jul 2024 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Better known as a chaser now; did not see out 3m2f on May's hurdling return at Stratford and appreciated the return to shorter when a front-running second at Southwell (2m4f, good) latest; back up 3lb but solid claims. |

11th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

Better known as a chaser now; did not see out 3m2f on last month's hurdling return at Stratford but put in a pretty good front-running shift there and today's drop back in trip looks the right move; on a good mark; no surprise if she features. |

5th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Placed twice over 2m7f at Chepstow (good to soft) in the autumn and put a poor run behind her when third there (2m, soft) in January, but has disappointed again since and some of the younger ones appeal more. |

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

Placed twice over 2m7f at Chepstow (good to soft) in the autumn and put a poor run behind her when third there (2m, soft) last month; today's trip on a right-handed track also suits; probably won't be far away. |
9/2 |
Verdict
Credo looked in excellent nick when slamming FLOWING CADENZA and another couple of these at Chepstow last month and could still have a lot more to offer over fences. She is not opposed with any confidence but Flowing Cadenza was making her seasonal debut that day and, with this just her second run for Venetia Williams, she may make enough progress to give her stable a fourth consecutive win in this quite valuable series final. Lilith is next on the list.[Chris Wilson]
