12th Jan 2023 Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Big step back in right direction when fourth of 13 at Wetherby (3m, good to soft) on Boxing Day in a first-time tongue-tie on his second stable start; something to find with runner-up Beat The Edge but he could be suited by the stiffer test of stamina on today's deeper ground; one to consider. |

26th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Fair third over hurdles last December after a very long absence but he's failed to complete since on his first four chase starts (stable debut last time); a first-time tongue-tie needs to make a big difference. |

1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Generally very disappointing since returning from long absence in the autumn but took step back in right direction when respectable fourth (just behind Onehundredneighty) at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) last month and remains very well handicapped. |

4th 2 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Dual 2m3f chase winner at start of 2024 (heavy/good to soft) but out of sorts since returning from long layoff this season; reverts to hurdling on tempting mark but needs a revival. |

7th 11 |
27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Began 2024 with two 2m3f Exeter wins and was subsequently placed over C&D; very well handicapped on those heroics but returned from long layoff with three disappointing runs this season and needs a revival; swaps usual cheekpieces for blinkers. |

31st Mar 2023 Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
0-9 but has run pretty well this year on his first two chase starts (2m3f/2m4f, soft/good to soft) and has shaped as though he could improve for this step up in trip; he's one to be interested in. |
6/1 |

17th Mar 2023 Good 2m 7f 214y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Nine-race maiden who has run creditably on both starts over fences, last time finishing second to an in-form rival at Ayr (2m4f, good to soft); shapes as though the step up to 3m will suit. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Two wins last season, the second off 3lb lower over C&D in October (good); hasn't been in quite such good form in 2026, but has had a break and can't be rule out. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Five chase wins, the latest off 5lb lower at Hexham (3m, good) in October; creditable second to very progressive rival at Wetherby (3m, good) on next outing but form has slumped since (hurdling last time). |

17th Feb 2026 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |

Stays at least this far and was in good form over fences for most of last year, but he has a bit to prove against younger rivals on his first start over hurdles in almost three years. |

18th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 4 |

Conditions suit and although 2lb out of the handicap is on a good mark; hasn't been in top form this season, though fair run when fourth at Wetherby last time (2m5f, good). |

6th Mar 2023 Good 2m 5f 75y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
He's dropped to a mark 15lb lower than when winning at Catterick (2m3f, good) last January and there have been some fair efforts this season; not ruled out but it's been a patchy campaign and others appeal more. |

23rd Nov 2023 Heavy 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |

Has modest 2-28 career strike-rate and is not the force of old but his chase win was gained on heavy ground and he posted a sound effort when second at Hexham (2m4f, soft) last month; tries a new trip here; contender if stamina holds out. |

Maiden who is 0-6 since switched to chasing, best effort when second in small field at Catterick three outings back; each-way hopes on that form but he's not solid. |

Pulled up in first two chases but has fared better on last couple of outings, more recently when staying-on second of five at Catterick (1m7f, good) 12 days ago; a contender here if coping with the slower ground. |
