6th Feb 2025 Heavy 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Performed poorly in handicap chases this season, blinkered on last two outings; easily his best run over fences came in a four-runner race (3m2f, heavy) last March and he's 11lb lower today, also dropped in class, but some recent positives would have been preferable. |

Has performed poorly in 3m1f/2m4f handicap chases this season, latterly tried in the blinkers which are retained; easily his best run over fences came in a four-runner race; others are more compelling. |

15th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Has won two of his six chase starts but was beaten off this mark in a six-runner handicap at Wincanton last time when in the new cheekpieces (3m1f, heavy); unraced beyond that trip but he's one who doesn't do much in a hurry and today's marathon trip could be up his street. |

30th Jan 2025 Heavy 3m 1f 30y Class 3 |

Strike-rate of 5-10 under rules and has won two of his last three chases; it wasn't pretty here last time over C&D (good to soft) but he got the job done off just 3lb lower and today's slower surface could benefit him; cheekpieces added. |

3rd Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Off for nearly a year before pulling up on chase debut (jumped poorly) and when reverting to hurdles in March but subsequent efforts back on good ground yielded two wins at around this trip and he didn't run badly off this mark when third in May; needs to cut out the mistakes reverting to fences but interesting back from a break. |

Beaten 40l+ in two handicaps in the spring (3m1f/2m5f) and inow 0-8 over hurdles; drops back in trip today; needs to have taken significant benefit from 115-day break. |

Maiden; ran well in a big field at Exeter three starts ago but hasn't repeated that effort; very modest effort at Huntingdon last month and will need to leave that well behind. |

11st 10lb |
Creditable second behind well-handicapped rival here (2m, soft) in November and will be fine over today's longer trip but has become far too inconsistent to rely upon, and needs first-time cheekpieces to help him rebound from a poor run over fences a fortnight ago. |
7/1 |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Mixed results over hurdles this term; chase record reads 24FPP; returns to this sphere looking well treated on best form but it's difficult to know what to expect from him. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Proven on deep ground and has run well here over 2m-2m4f; failed to complete on his last three starts (all here) last winter; returns on a handy mark and has won when fresh, so he could be involved if revived. |

Remote third in a point bumper and has subsequently achieved little in four maiden hurdles (2m-2m4f) this year; still early days and steps up to 3m but she needs a transformation on handicap debut; hood added. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Came from poor position to win by 7l on chasing debut at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) in June 2024 and returned from long absence with good second over hurdles at Worcester (2m7f, good) in August, where he travelled much more sweetly; it's hard to tell what mood he'll be in here but he could still have significant potential over fences. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won a handicap over hurdles and won going away on chase debut at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) 14 months ago; on a competitive mark but likely best watched on this return to hurdling after his absence. |

14th Jun 2024 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 4 |

Easy Huntingdon winner (2m3f, Class 5 handicap hurdle) last October and placed off a higher mark here next time; however, his last two efforts have been below-par, pulling-up at Taunton two months ago; switches to fences with enough to prove at present. |

Represents in-form stable and he's one to watch in the betting on this third start, but he's been well beaten at 50-1 on his first two outings (2m, good/heavy) and may be one for handicaps. |

27th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Pulled up in his final two runs last year but he returned after wind surgery with a front-running win at Fontwell (2m3f, good; 22-1) this month; this is a different test but he won over fences here (3m2f) last spring and 3lb rise for that last success looks fair; respected. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |

Four-time chase winner who was out of sorts when last seen in the autumn, most recently when pulled up on return to hurdling; had another wind op (his fourth) during 168-day break; needs to get career back on track. |

Fair third of seven in British maiden point (2m4f, good to firm) on debut in May but he was tailed off at 200-1 in a bumper at Exeter (2m, good) last month and is hard to fancy now going hurdling. |
