30th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
12yo who is without a win since December 2023 but he ran his best race for some time when fourth at Carlisle (3m2f, soft) in November and when seventh at Ayr last time he was back up in grade; his mark continues to fall and this front-runner, who has won here, could make a bold bid. |

22nd Mar 2023 Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Pulled up in the Eider last month and unseated at the first fence at Carlisle on Sunday; however, before those he won at Catterick (3m1f, soft) in January and is proven over marathon trips; not written off. |

19th Mar 2023 Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Didn't jump well enough when pulled up in the 4m1f Eider, a race he won two seasons ago; will be happier on this softer ground and he won well at Catterick the run before (3m1f, soft; 4lb lower) in second-time cheekpieces. |

25th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 4m 1f 56y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Won this in 2021 off 14lb higher; wind surgery before a partial revival this winter and he followed his third to Bushypark at Catterick last month with a strong-staying win over 3m there 13 days later; visored for those last two starts; back up 5lb but of far more concern is that all his significant form is on soft or heavy; big shout if the ground is okay. |

11th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Triple 3m hurdle winner in Ireland who had some fair chase form in home country last season but he hasn't settled down in Britain as yet and was beaten a long way in a recent point. |

Even from 2lb out of the handicap he's well treated on Irish form as recent as last February but was well beaten on his final two runs for Dermot McLoughlin and it's been the same story on his three outings for this yard. |

12st 0lb |
Well suited by a slog in the mud and returned to form with keeping-on second in West Wales National at Ffos Las (3m4f, heavy) a week ago; Joe Anderson claims a useful 5lb today; major player if in the right mood again. |

30th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 138y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Formerly smart chaser who came back from the doldrums with a Perth hurdles win (3m2f, good to soft) in April; pulled up in the other five of his last six starts, including on his reappearance at Bangor last month; hard to be confident but a possible player if he is allowed to dominate. |

24th Mar 2025 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Three wins over fences in 2021/22, but had been off for 761 days before finishing a well-beaten fourth of five at Taunton (2m7f, soft) last month (below-par Space Voyage finished behind); others make greater appeal. |

27th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Three-time chase winner; placed off 5lb higher at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) in December 2022 but absent since refusing to race in cross-country chase there the following month and tricky to weigh up after her layoff. |
10/1 |

28th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 3m 6f 37y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Bordering on a career best when third in a mares' handicap here in December (2m4f, good) and won at up to 3m2f last season; however, she is prone to mistakes and it's hardly ideal being 9lb out of the handicap on her first taste of cross-country action. |
