13th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Rather lost his way last season after winning at Newbury in October and last week's Fakenham run was an all-time low; tries a visor this time, but blinkers and cheekpieces did nothing for him. |
8/1 |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Easily won three-runner race at Newbury (2m4f, good) in October but subsequent form last season was underwhelming; well handicapped now (even from 1lb out of the weights) and will probably be okay back at 3m but needs the new cheekpieces to perk him up. |
11/2 |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Easily won three-runner handicap at Newbury (2m4f, good) on reappearance; jumped left when 6l third of four at right-handed Ascot (2m5f, good) next time, and his 13l sixth of nine at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) came in a race that worked out extremely well; heavy going excuses him being tailed off at Warwick and he could go well now back on better ground. |

21st Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
0-10 over fences; gave good account when fourth at Hereford (2m, good) in November but his overall record is not persuasive, and he was safely held on latest outing two months ago. |

11st 12lb |
took keen hold, in touch with leaders, niggled along briefly after 6th, mistake 9th, pushed along before 10th, ridden and outpaced after 3 out, weakened before 2 out |

4th 5 |
6th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Winning hurdler in France; not the most fluent of jumpers over fences but he was still a clear second at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) the last time and gets in here off the same mark. |

18th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Won his first two chase starts last autumn (2m3f/2m7f, good/good to soft) and close second at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft) in January; perhaps unsuited by the first-time visor when pulled up at Fontwell last month and could go well if taking to the first-time cheekpieces today. |

6th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |

raced in last, reminder when slow jump 1st, struggling 11th, pulled up after 13th, never going well |

2nd 7 |
30th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
He went up 6lb for beating only three rivals in his second chase at Lingfield (2m7f, good to soft) and he never threatened to bring up the hat-trick at Plumpton (3m1f); might be capable of better than he showed there and Caoilin Quinn's claim is welcomed; has won over this trip on good ground. |
7/2 |
Verdict
Ozzie Man has made a very good start to his chasing career and probably still has more improvement to come but he’s up in grade today and preference is for FOR LANGY, who ran well in defeat at Fontwell last month and remains well handicapped on some of last season’s form. Name In Lights makes his chasing debut here and is also of interest.[Chris Wilson]
