13th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Nothing like the force of old but is handicapped accordingly now; dropped another 2lb since last month's very respectable fourth at Ludlow and will be suited by the return to this C&D; can make a bold bid from the front. |

11st 5lb |
11yo who was disappointing at Ayr (2m, soft) last month but posted two respectable performances previously when making the frame at Lingfield (2m4f, good to soft) and Chepstow (2m3f, heavy), and he's been given a chance by the handicapper; could have a part to play. |

16th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
1-37 and still surprisingly error-prone despite so much chasing experience, leaving his mark on several fences en route to a 8l C&D fourth latest (good); frame finish probable but hard to predict better even off this career-low mark whilst the mistakes remain; cheekpieces return. |
7/1 |

31st Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Extremely hard to win with, having won only one of his 34 races over fences and runner-up on 13 of those occasions; even if he jumps better than last time (beaten 18l), he'll probably find a way to come up short; a rare run without any form of headgear. |
8/1 |

3rd 1 |
6th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Unreliable sort; jumped sketchily when a well-held fourth of seven in 3m Sedgefield handicap chase 16 days ago so others are much preferred. |

28th Aug 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Jumped well out in front when prevailing narrowly over fences at Ffos Las (2m3f; good to soft) in April but ran a modest race there in May; dual hurdle winner who stays this far but he's become hard to predict. |
14/1 |

30th May 2024 Good 2m 3f 83y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Returned to form when jumping well out in front and holding on by a length over C&D last month; beat one chasing a hat-trick so it's solid form; just 3lb higher. |
7/2 |

1st 4 |
22nd Apr 2024 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Now 9b lower than for his Chepstow win (2m7f, good to soft) last April but he's been pulled up here (2m5f) and at Plumpton (3m1f) in last two runs; cheekpieces return on this drop back in grade but he needs a major revival back in trip; stablemate of Lelant. |

20th Jun 2023 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
12st 4lb |
Awarded race at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good) last month after clearcut winner had taken the wrong course and completed double when making all to score by 8l there (2m4f, good) on Saturday; has 7lb penalty to shoulder but won't mind what the weather does and has obvious claims. |

13th Jan 2024 Soft 3m 5f 54y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Two wins last spring included 3m5f Norfolk National at Fakenham (good; used to act on soft); 2lb lower today as he's failed to fire in his four starts since; reverting to blinkers from recent cheekpieces might help. |

20th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Maiden hurdle winner in 2020 but has been a non-completer more often than not since November 2021 and it's hard to have much faith in him after his remote finish back hurdling 19 days ago. |

8th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Easily best of his last eight efforts came when runner-up at Fontwell (2m5f) last February; favourite when beaten 19l in fourth of five there on sole start this term; the positives are that he's down the weights and, if it's rained here, two of his runs on heavy ground were career-best form. |
