31st Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 99y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Formerly a progressive sort and has Grade 1 form over C&D; however, two runs since returning from long layoff suggest he's not the force of old and unlikely to defy top weight in this warm handicap. |

9th Dec 2023 Soft 1m 7f 99y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Progressive novice chaser last season, winning twice (good/heavy); still held a fighting chance when final-fence faller in Cheltenham handicap on reappearance and could well rate higher still; faces a stiffer assignment upped in class but brings an attractive profile. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Good-ground specialist who was a course winner in 2024 and returns here after two good efforts this spring, the latter a close fourth at Aintree (2m4f, good) 16 days ago; respected. |
3/1 |
|
4th 4 |
15th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Enjoys good ground; bumped into the enigmatic Numitor on a good day at Hereford last month (2m5f) but this 10yo also struggles with his consistency; he's capable but risky enough. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Enjoys good ground on which he beat the useful Mahons Glory by 8l at Market Rasen in September (2m5f); tailed off since then on either side of a 140-day break but those were strong handicaps; respected. |

29th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Made all for wide-margin wins in two four-runner handicaps here (2m3f/2m1f, good) last May, those are his only two runs at Sedgefield and he's now 9lb below his last winning mark; switched to visor when there was an upturn in his form on latest outing; tongue-tie (absent since 2021 in his Irish days) returns and 7lb claimer is recruited; of renewed interest. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 7 |
29th Dec 2022 Good 2m 0f 78y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Won two in a row over fences at Sedgefield in May but he's finished down the field the last twice; major turnaround is required with a first-time visor replacing cheekpieces. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
8th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Below par at Wetherby last month and has to bounce back, but he won two in a row at Sedgefield (2m3f/2m1f, good) in May and returned from a break with a fair third of four at Kelso (2m1f, good) in October; also effective on good to soft ground and he's not written off. |

27th Jan 2024 Good To Soft 3m 1f 56y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Delivered with a well-timed challenge to win major 3m2f handicap at Newbury (good to soft) eight weeks ago, proving suited by the new trip and taking chase record to 3-10; generally progressive and is unexposed beyond 2m4f; possibilities. |
11/2 |

1st 11 |
2nd Dec 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 214y Class 1 |
10st 7lb |
Unraced beyond an extended 2m4f and this is a tough race in which to test his stamina; however, he was strong at the finish when winning a Grade 2 novice at Ayr (2m4f, good) in April and may well have staying potential; might have needed his reappearance in the Old Roan and is not ruled out. |

19th Mar 2025 Good 2m 2f 191y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Well handicapped on his form up to May 2023 and he's one to watch in the betting, but he's struggled over hurdles and fences this season following a long absence, and has plenty to prove. |

12th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Potentially on a good mark but it's been a struggle this season after a layoff and a sudden turnaround is needed with a first-time visor replacing cheekpieces. |

26th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 48y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Well treated on his good second to very useful Notlongtillmay at Wetherby (1m7f; chase debut) last November; however, nowhere near that form in three runs since, latest in a notable race returned to hurdles; bit to prove back up in distance. |
16/1 |

7th 10 |
15th Oct 2023 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Won a pair of novice hurdles two seasons ago but rather struggled over fences last term; ground could be an issue on stable debut (was with Tom Symonds) and others appear to hold stronger claims. |

30th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 4f 194y Class 3 |

All three rules wins have come on good/good to soft and twice taken out of races on soft; the transition to fences hasn't been smooth and others are higher up the list; first-time cheekpieces fitted. |

8th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Won four times as a novice during 2021-22 season but has been out of form over the last 18 months or so and needs a significant boost from the first-time blinkers today. |

14th May 2024 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Rather disappointing since two wins in early 2022 (both over 2m on good to soft); very well handicapped (19lb lower than last success) so quite interesting back from a break on second run after wind surgery. |

11th May 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Made disappointing start to chasing career in 2022-23 season (two attempts); returned from layoff with pleasing second in Class 3 handicap hurdle at Wincanton (2m4f, soft; also suited by good) in November but was safely held on only other appearance last season and it's hard to know what to expect from him as he begins his second spell over fences |

27th Jan 2024 Good 2m 3f 88y Class 2 |

Chasing didn't go to plan last season and he was a mid-race faller when returned to hurdling in the spring but his reappearance second at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) in November was very encouraging and his current mark ought to be workable; shortlisted. |

11st 9lb |
Returned from a break with narrow win at Uttoxter (2m4f, good) in October but pulled up on both starts since, latterly at last month's Cheltenham Festival; younger rivals have much more persuasive profiles. |
50/1 |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
A 9yo won it in 2019 but it's stretching the imagination to see this 11yo prevail, even though he did so at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in October and soft ground was a valid excuse at Newbury (2m4f) in November; off since. |
