12st 0lb |
Best known as a Huntingdon specialist but recorded career-best RPR when scoring at Fakenham (3m5f, good to soft) last season, so a marathon trip on a sharp left-handed track evidently suits him well; out of form this term, though, and needs to turn a corner. |

10th Apr 2023 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Weakened when favourite at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) last month but that was after two runner-up efforts including in a marathon handicap at this track; now drops back to 2m5f but he's versatile trip-wise and has claims if he can get back near his best; 2lb out of the weights. |

31st May 2023 Good To Firm 3m 2f 0y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Plugged on for modest third in marathon handicap chase on rules return in January and can be excused last month's hunter chase defeat (tough task); will be suited by the forecast fast ground but it's hard to gauge what this 12yo is capable of over hurdles nowadays; others preferred. |

Fast-ground 3m chase winner in 2021 when with Adrian Wintle; ran only in points in 2022, winning one over 3m2f and unseating in the most recent of them in November; 5lb below that win in 2021 for this return to rules but others preferred. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
None too consistent but he has won five times over fences, latest at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) in February off 3lb lower; beaten a neck back there off this mark last month and his best chance of further success is perhaps back at that venue. |
9/2 |

5th 7 |
31st Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
None too consistent but he has won five times over fences and nearly made that six last time at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft); he's handicapped about right but needs considering. |

2nd 3 |
9th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Five-time chase winner, most recently over C&D (soft) last month; remote when third at Huntingdon eight days ago and not one to rely upon nowadays but he's still on a good mark if in the right mood. |

29th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 3m 3f 149y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Point and novice hurdle winner who appeared to enter handicaps three years ago on a very tough mark and also had 691 days off before last season; runner-up at Lingfield (3m5f, heavy) last February and 8lb lower today but he's not done much in his three starts since; headgear on six of his last seven starts but not today. |

1st Jan 2023 Good To Soft 3m 5f 24y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Point/hurdle winner who stays this trip on testing ground; below par on his last two starts; cheekpieces (worn on last four starts) now swapped for first-time visor; on a competitive mark but does have a bit to prove. |

23rd Nov 2022 Good To Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Point/hurdle winner who finished second in a 3m5f handicap chase at Lingfield in February (heavy); has gone well fresh in the past and rain would help; still capable of better. |

23rd Mar 2023 Soft 3m 6f 130y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Placed in all three completed chases for new stable this season, most recently when staying-on second at Taunton (2m7f, good) last month; raced rather lazily there but should be fine on this slower ground and could have untapped potential over marathon trips. |

Became disappointing for Ben Pauling but was second on stable debut at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) in December and ran well for a long way before unseating rider in Fakenham marathon last month; enters calculations. |

1st Dec 2022 Good To Firm 1m 7f 201y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Prominent throughout when winning his three chases (2m4f-2m5f); well handicapped again but hasn't run well for a while now and this drop in trip is a change in direction. |
5/1 |

8th Nov 2022 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Forced the pace for each of his three chase wins (2m4f-2m5f); reasonably weighted but was basically out of form when last in action; stamina reserves will be sorely tested over this trip; others preferred. |
