11st 6lb |
Won at Catterick (2m3f, soft) in December 2023 and runner-up there the next twice (2m3f, soft/heavy); well treated on that form but well below his best on his three starts since; revival needed now up in trip. |

23rd Dec 2023 Soft 2m 2f 191y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Ended a losing run of three years when making all for a wide-margin win at Bangor this month (2m, soft); back up 6lb but he was runnning in stronger races than this not so long ago and is a triple course winner; no easy lead this time but bold bid likely. |

2nd Dec 2023 Soft 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Front-running veteran who has not won since December 2020 but he's finished runner-up in three of his last four starts including at Sedgefield (2m4f, soft) on his return two weeks ago; remains well treated on old form and he should go well again back in trip. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Scored at Warwick (3m, good to soft) in December but he's failed to complete in three subsequent runs and didn't get very far at Stratford (unseated at first) two weeks ago; only 2lb lower than for his last success but he comes with risks attached. |

28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 3 |

Scored at Warwick (3m) in December but he isn't the easiest to catch right and was pulled up in 2m7f handicap at Newbury last time; others are preferred. |

17th Feb 2026 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |

Back to form when winning for a third time over fences in a 3m handicap at Warwick (good to soft) and would have won easier had he not idled late on; unseated midrace off this 4lb higher mark at Leicester three weeks later; respected. |

24th Aug 2024 Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

22nd Jul 2024 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

Returned from break with pretty convincing win at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in May but didn't really fire on his latest outing and was soundly beaten on all three previous visits to Cartmel. |

22nd Mar 2025 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Well treated these days and although he's run only four times since back from an absence, and his latest win, he ran better when runner-up at Wincanton (3m1f, soft; first-time visor, retained) last month; likely to fare better now back on good ground in this lower grade. |

15th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |

Useful hurdler in his prime and won over fences in 2023 but has been out of form since returning from a layoff in the autumn; wore cheekpieces then blinkers for last two races; visor tried today; revival needed. |

11st 12lb |
Three wins in early part of last year, including quite valuable final of this Brindisi Breeze series at Musselburgh (3m, soft); back on a good mark now but has largely been disappointing this season and needs to up his game. |

9th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Very useful chaser in his prime but needed considerable help from the handicapper before his hurdling win for Dan Skelton in March; unplaced in five French hurdles since joining Sophie Leech and not the most obvious answer here; suited by soft/heavy ground. |

22nd Mar 2023 Soft 2m 2f 191y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
With the cheekpieces off and having dropped down the weights, he returned to form with a creditable third at Wetherby (2m3f, good to soft) last month; his rules wins have come on soft/heavy ground and he's a strong contender if producing another good performance here. |

Ex-Irish 8yo who won at the 2021 Punchestown festival and is one to watch in the betting on his third start for this yard, but he has lots to prove having been pulled up/tailed off the last twice. |
